I HEARD OF OTHER YUKONS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS A CHEVY PROBLEM? MY WHEEL ALMOST CAME OFF OF MY VEHICLE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID THE ONLY THING THAT WAS KEEPING IT ON WAS THE BRAKE CALIPER. I SURE HOPE NOBODY GETS HURT OVER SAVING A COUPLE OF DOLLARS, PLEASE THERE NEEDS TO BE A WARNING AND POSSIBLY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I WOULD TAKE BACK TO THE DEALER OF COURSE IT WAS WORKING AGAIN AND DIDN'T NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. NOW HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, IE. 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 5 DAYS. THE OTHER DAY WE LEFT THE HOUSE AND NOTHING WAS WORKING, HOWEVER WHEN WE LEFT TO GO HOME THE GAUGES WERE WORKING AGAIN.

2003 GMC YUKON XL COMPLAINT #1. SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC. ODOMETER READS ONLY 79,000 MILES. A FEW MONTHS AGO, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO 60 MPH WHICH CAUSED THE NEEDLE TO READ 120 AT THE ACTUAL 60. IF YOU SHUT OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THE NEEDLE WOULD DROP ABOUT 5 MPH EACH TIME. IF YOU REPEATED THIS PROCEDURE (STARTING ENGINE, SHUTTING OFF ENGINE) AFTER 10-12 TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ ZERO AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. YESTERDAY AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED IS 75 MPH, AND PULLED ONTO OUR LOCAL ROAD WHERE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IS 50, I NOTICED THAT I WAS HOLDING UP TRAFFIC ALTHOUGH THE SPEEDOMETER READ 50. I FELT AS IF I WAS NOT ACTUALLY DOING 50 SO I SPED UP EVEN THOUGH THE NEEDLE READ 65MPH. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF INDEED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING INACCURATELY, AND IT WAS. THIS TIME STUCK AT 15 MPH. I AGAIN REPEATED THE ENGINE OFF/ON PROCEDURE TO GET THE NEEDLE BACK TO ZERO, BUT NOTICED IT JUMPING AND NOT RESPONDING QUICKLY AT STOP SIGNS. I HAVE READ REVIEWS ABOUT COMPLAINTS WITH THE SPEEDOMETERS BUT DO NOT SEE YUKON XLS AS PART OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY FRIGHTENING ISSUE AS I HAVE A 16-YEAR-OLD THAT WILL BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON HER OWN IN JUST A FEW MONTHS. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMEONE'S DRIVING RECORD IS TARNISHED FOR UNINTENTIONAL SPEEDING RESULTING IN TICKETS AND INSURANCE INCREASES...AND POSSIBLY EVEN ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN DEATH. COMPLAINT #2. FUEL GAUGE STICKS AT FULL MARK UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK OF GAS IS USED, THEN GAUGE WILL DROP. ALSO STICKS AT 1/4 TANK THEN DROPS AGAIN TO EMPTY. DUE TO INABILITY TO PROVE THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPAIR. *JB

SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW 100 MPH WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. VERY UNSAFE IF YOU CAN'T REGULATE YOUR SPEED CORRECTLY TO MATCH THE DRIVING CONDITIONS. *NM
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND PASSENGER VANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, ?PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.? SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION BRAKE HYDRO-BOOST HOUSING RELIEF VALVE BORE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENTLY, THE VALVE O-RING SEAL MAY FRACTURE. STEERING EFFORTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY INCREASED WHILE BRAKING OR PARKING. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, A FRACTURED SEAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THE SAME VEHICLE DECELERATION RATE AS PRIOR TO THE SEAT FRACTURE.
Remedy: DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 18, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339; CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463; OR HUMMER AT 1-866-486-6376.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 214, "SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION." THESE VEHICLES ARE BUILT WITH FOUR WELDS ON THE REAR DOOR UPPER HINGE. ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, ONE OR TWO OF THE WELDS MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AS A RESULT, THE DOOR STRENGTH MAY BE DEGRADED DURING A SIDE IMPACT VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WELDS ON THE LEFT REAR DOOR UPPER HINGE. IF A WELD IS FOUND OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION, A BOLT WILL BE INSTALLED TO SECURE THE HINGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 17, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.
ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, VEHICLES, DURING A 30 DEGREE LEFT ANGLE FRONTAL IMPACT OF SUFFICIENT SEVERITY, A TEAR COULD DEVELOP IN THE MID-FRAME CROSS MEMBER AT ITS ATTACHMENT TO THE LEFT FRAME RAIL. IF THE MID-FRAME CROSS MEMBER TEARS DURING FRONTAL IMPACT AND PRODUCES A SHARP EDGE, CONTACT OF THE SHARP EDGE WITH THE FUEL TANK COULD RESULT IN A PUNCTURE OF THE FUEL TANK AND POSSIBLE FUEL LEAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A FUEL TANK SHIELD. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 20, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020 OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.
