2003 GMC Yukon Denali

TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT PROBLEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT PERIODICALLY GOT N STUCK, AND ONE HAD TO UNBUCKLE IT AND TRY AGAIN. THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED 50 TIMES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE BOTH 10,0000.*AK

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI, WITH 40,000 MILES, HAS QUIT WORKING. THROUGH RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT MANY GM OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM INSISTS ON REPAIR COSTS RANGING FROM $500 TO $1000 DOLLARS. THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THEN HIGH WAY. THIS FAILURE CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AS WELL AS FINANCIAL BURDENS WHEN HAVING TO PAY FOR SPEEDING TICKETS DUE TO THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED. AT THIS POINT NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED AS I REFUSE TO PAY GM TO REPAIR A DEFECTIVE PART, WHICH THEY ARE AWARE OF. I UNDERSTAND THAT A FATALITY HAS TO OCCUR BEFORE THE NTHSA AND/OR GM TO TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM

I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY VEHICLE IS FAULTY. AT ONE POINT I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND MY SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY SHOWED THAT I WAS TRAVELING 120 MPH. MY WIFE RECEIVED A SPEEDING FOR TRAVELING 70 MPH IN A 50 MPH ZONE. AT THE TIME THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED THAT SHE WAS ONLY TRAVELING 50 MPH. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WE NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW WE ARE ACTUALLY TRAVELING. HAVE SPOKE WITH OTHER CONSUMERS WHO OWN GMC YUKON AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 YUKON WITH 70000 MILES. MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BECOME VERY ERRATIC. AT A FULL STOP IT READS ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 70 MPH. WHEN DRIVING IT FREQUENTLY EXCEEDS THE 120 MPH MAXIMUM LIMIT EVEN THOUGH I AM TRAVELING WITH THE FLOW OF NORMAL TRAFFIC. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH GM SUVS AND TRUCKS MANUFACTURED IN THE 2003/2004 TIME FRAME. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AS NOT RELIABLY KNOWING YOUR SPEED CAN AND WILL CAUSE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. THE GMC DEALER SAYS THE SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE THE EXISTING INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) AND TO INSTALL A NEW OR RECONDITIONED ONE AT A COST OF OVER $700.00. *JB

I OWN A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI. I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER AND HORN ARE INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT. I CAN DRIVE THE TRUCK ONE DAY AND IT'S FINE AND LATER THAT DAY OR DURING ANOTHER DRIVE, THE HORN WILL NOT WORK AND THE SPEEDOMETER WITH EITHER DO A 'JUMPING' MOTION OR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CRASHES TO DATE. I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE DENALI BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HORNS ON THE SIERRA TRUCKS...*NM

AFTER NOTICING THAT MY 2003 YUKON DENALI HAD INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHTS/DASH LIGHTS DIMMING, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY PRESENTED ME WITH A DOCUMENT THAT STATED THE GM STATED THIS WAS NOT A MALFUNCTION AND WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THIS THAT IS "NORMAL". ANY TIME, AT NIGHT, A CURVE IS TAKEN AT ABOVE 35 MPH THE LIGHTS FLICKER. I HAD ALREADY PINPOINTED THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE VSES SYSTEM BECAUSE WHEN THE VSES IS TURNED OFF, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. WHEN A CURVE IS TAKEN AND THE FLICKERING OCCURS, THE VOLTAGE METER FOR THE BATTERY DROPS SUBSTANTIALLY AND THEN GOES RIGHT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS A DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVER (MYSELF), ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND ANYONE THAT I AM BEHIND. THIS ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE IT CAUSES INJURY. *JB
