 The stability control disabled sensor comes on followed by reduced engine power and my vehicle won't go faster than 5mph. this has happened at least 6 times in the past several months only upon start up of the vehicle. sometimes, if i wait a couple of minutes and restart my car, it'll start just fine but the check engine light comes on. i first brought it into hendrick chevrolet on 10/15/12. they charged me almost $700 to replace app sensor assembly. then i brought it in again on 11/6/12 for the same issue. they replaced the connector at the throttle body and charged me $223.09. the issue temporarily went away. i then brought it back on 12/20/12 with the same issue but this time the check engine won't turn off as a result of the reduced engine power-stability control disabled warning. they simply reset the warning and that was it. til this day, i continue to have problem with this vehicle going into reduced engine power/stability control disabled. this has become a constant issue and thorn on my side and each time i bring it in for service, they always tell me it's something else. i have read many of the same issues other owners have had. why haven't there been a recall on this???

 My husband's 2004 yukon denali caught fire while parked in the driveway of home. the vehicle had been sitting for nearly two hours before it spontaneously ignited. i called 911 while my husband took the hose and sprayed water on the fire, which was in the dashboard of the suv. the fire department arrived a few minutes later and put the fire out. fortunately, no one was injured, but it is unknown why the vehicle ignited and was on fire. i contacted gmc via online chat, and the representative said there are no recalls on the 2004 yukon denali. after some preliminary searches online, i found numerous claims of the same thing occurring to other owners of yukon and tahoe suvs in the u.s.

 Tl*the contact owns a 2004 gmc yukon denali. the contact noticed that the instrument panel was reading inaccurately. he stated that while driving the speedometer would fluctuate and he was unable to determine how fast or slow he was traveling. the gasoline gauge functioned intermittently. the contact was concerned that because of the failure; he could potentially be driving on an empty fuel tank which could result in a crash. the dealer stated that they would assume the repair cost if the vehicle had 80,000 miles or less. the manufacturer advised the contact that there were no related recalls. the vehicle was not repaired. the current mileage was 93,775 and the failure mileage was unknown.

 Speedometer operates erratically if at all. vehicle has 100,000 miles and gm will only replace the cluster if under 70,000 miles. this is a huge safety risk. *tr

 Flashing abs light and then alternating flashing tc (traction control) light. then the vehicle locks up the left side front brake and pulls the vehicle into on coming traffic. happens intermittently. cause by the wheel speed sensor failing on the vehicle. replacement of part removes issue. *tr

 2004 gmc yukon xl denali system stabilization disabled warning light intermittently comes on. the dealer cannot repair this issue because there are no diagnostic codes in the car computer. i have taken the truck to the dealership with the warning light on, but still no error codes. onstar runs diagnostics and reports no errors and tells me to drive to the nearest dealership because the vehicle is unsafe. this first occurred in december while the truck was still under warranty, now several trips to the service shop and it still is coming on. i am working with gmc customer support to try to resolve the issue, but to date they are saying they can't fix it because there are no diagnostic codes. i have asked them if the truck is safe to drive with warning light on, but they cannot assure me that it is. they refuse to document anything in writing about the safety of the truck. to date there have been no accidents nor injuries, but i have lost all confidence in the vehicle as i was told the stabilization system was mandated by the government and it must be operational. what recourse do i have to insure the truck is safe? why can't they replace computer modules until there is a resolution? the truck did not do this for the first 35 months i owned it, driving the same exact roads that the warning flashes on now. *tr

 Erratic speed shown on speedometer. shows zero at one time and then read max out at 120. took it to have repaired and was told that they had had numerous others with the same problem. cost to repair $600!!! i found a website with 209 posted complaints of the same problem. this is clearly a safety issue that needs attention. with a possible interaction with the cruise control not to mention inaccurate speed. *nm

 While driving at 50 mph, speedometer 'failed' to the needle pointing straight down. i drove another 10 minutes home, speedometer needle never moved. cycling engine off/on seemed to cause the needle to 'decrease' indicated speed by about 10 mph with each cycling. after cycling the ignition about 15 times while parked in my driveway, speed again read 0. starting the engine again, the indicator still read 0, and when driving around the block, the speedometer seemed to work again. doing a google search for possible fixes, i found a web-site full of people with similar issues with comparable gmc vehicles. is there a recall in the works? *nm

 First my oil gauge started giving false readings on my 2004 gmc denali, i could live with that. then my speedometer readings are all over the place...all the time with different readings. i am scared for my safety and the safety of others. from reading online this is a very common problem on gmc vehicles and i feel something should be done by gmc to remedy the problem!!! *nm

 I have noticed several times that my speedometer will stick or stop working all together. after searching on the internet, i see that many other people are having the same problem with their chevrolet and gmc trucks and light duty trucks. *nm

 Dt*: the contact stated while driving at no certain speed, the speedometer becomes inoperative. for example, when driving at 10mph, the speedometer reads 110mph. the vehicle was taken to the local dealership for inspection and repair of the instrument panel cluster. the speedometer now reads correctly.
