IllustrationSPEEDOMETER STICKS ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL, IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE "RESET" THE SPEEDOMETER NUMEROUS TIMES BY TURNING THE IGNITION KEY ALMOST TO THE START POSITION BUT AFTER @ 10 MILES, IT WILL BE STUCK AGAIN. *JB

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMING ERRATIC ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. NOTHING SEEMS TO FIX IT AND IT IS REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE. AS A MEMBER OF THE US MILITARY AND A FIREFIGHTER I FEEL I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE ENOUGH. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL WEB-SITES WITH LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS ON MANY DIFFERENT GM VEHICLES (MOSTLY TRUCKS AND SUV'S). THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND SUES GM OR IS THAT WHAT IT TAKES FOR A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY TO GET THE POINT. I HAD THIS PART QUOTED TO ME AT $480 AND DON'T FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS CONSIDERING ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS. *TR UPDATED 10/10/07 *TR
