THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS FAULTY DO TO BATTERY DRAIN. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH A MAJORITY OF TRUCKS AND SUV'S OF THE SAME GENERATION AS MY 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE COST FROM THE DEALER TO REPLACE THIS PART IS APPROXIMATELY $2000. THERE ARE AFTERMARKET INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO REPLACE THIS PART AT A COST OF ALL MOST $600. THIS REQUIRES PROGRAMMING BY THE DEALER FOR A COST OF ANOTHER $500+ ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE REPEAT IT SELF AT LATER DATE.

TACHOMETER GAUGE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, WRONG SPEED READING ON SPEEDOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READING TOO MUCH PRESSURE. FUEL GAUGE READING ADD FUEL WHEN I KNOW IT HAS MORE THAN "LOW". FUNNY HOW SPEEDOMETER WAS PEGGED OUT WHEN I WAS ONLY GOING 60. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WILL JUST GO TO ZERO AS YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THEY MAY COME BACK ON IN A FEW MINUTES OR AFTER YOU SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE. ALL FUSES ARE GOOD. ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS WORK I.E. TURN SIGNALS, HIGH BEAM, & HAZ. DURING RESTART THEY FLASH AS THEY WOULD NORMALLY BUT THE GAUGES MAY OR MAY NOT COME BACK ON LINE. AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.

2004 GMC YUKON DENALI XL STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TACHOMETER NOT WORKING FOLLOWED BY THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FLUCTUATING FROM LOW TO HIGH AND THEN STAYING PEGGED AT HIGH. THE VOLTAGE METER IS READING HIGH EVEN THOUGH WHILE IT WAS READING HIGH THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT AND HIS GAUGE SAID IT WAS FINE. WE HEAR A CLICKING IN THE DASHBOARD THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CHECKED IT BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. WE ARE ON OUR 3RD RIDE LEVELING COMPRESSOR AND WE DON'T USE IT TO HALL A TRAILER. WHAT WILL BE NEXT. WE ARE CONCERNED SINCE THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE COULD BE NEXT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 YUKON DENALI AND THE DASH BOARD HAS GONE OUT. I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE 82,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $500 TO GET THIS FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER JUST GOES DOWN TO 25 OR 30 MPH FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THEN TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE. I HAVE TO SHUT ENGINE OFF TO RESET SPEEDOMETER, THEN IT WORKS FOR ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED MILES. THIS HAS TO BE UNSAFE. I HAVE 95000 MILES NOW.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATIC SPEEDS (I.E. 110 MPH WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH) I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO BACK TO 0 MPH WHEN I STOPPED BUT IT DIDN'T. INSTEAD IT WENT PASSED 120 MPH AND HAS BEEN THERE EVER SINCE. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM I NOTICED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I HAVE A GPS THAT TELLS ME HOW FAST I'M GOING SO I CAN STILL DRIVE IT BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR FREAKS OUT BEHIND THE WHEEL. *TR

I OWN A 2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS THEY CALL IS BROKEN. GMC KNOW OF THIS AND IT EFFECT THOUSAND OF VEHICLE THAT THEY MAKE. INCLUDING ENVOY, TAHOE, YUKON, AND DENALI. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING, IF MY TANK IS FULL OR EMPTY OR TEMPERATURE OR MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. I ALMOST BECAME A VICTIM, MY CLUSTER RECENTLY BECAME BROKEN AFTER AN ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE CUT OFF WITH ME NEXT TO A BIG RIG. I'M TRYING TO CONTROL A BIG SUBURBAN AND WITHOUT POWER FOR MY POWER STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS A [XXX] TO STEER. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE MY FUEL SAID 3/4 AND 15 MILES LATER I'M ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WONDERING WHY MY TRUCK WONT START. COME TO FIND OUT, I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH MT GAUGE STILL ON 3/4. NOW MY SPEED IS ERRATIC AND I HAVE NO CLUE HOW FAST I AM GOING IF IT WERE NOT FOR MY GPS UNIT. ANYWAY I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID ITS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IF I'M OVER 80,000 MILE THEY CANT HELP. [XXX] THE WARRANTY THIS IS A LAW SUIT WAITING TO BE FILED. ALL ITS GOING TO TAKE IS A POOR SOUL THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND FIND THEM SELF 6FT UNDER. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2004 YUKON DENALI XL, I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER BEING ERRATIC. I WILL BE DRIVING WITH TRAFFIC IN A 35 MPH ZONE LOOK AT MY SPEEDO IT SAYS I'M DOING 110 MPH. I WILL SCHEDULE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEN IT WILL WORK FINE FOR THE NEXT 3-6 MONTHS THEN IT WILL SCREW UP AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS IS VERY TROUBLESOME AS I REALLY NEVER AM SURE AT WHAT SPEED I AM GOING AND MY DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET SO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION. WHAT CAN BE DONE????? *TR
