| 2004 gmc yukon xl. gas gauge often reads incorrectly, many times pointing way past full or straight down. the volt meter has begun reading incorrectly, showing in excess of 20 volts when driving and in excess of 16 volts when stopped with the engine off (key on). the speedometer has started to read incorrectly often reading 0-10 mph when traveling at 30-40 mph (gauged by traffic). gm did look at fuel gauge issue 2 years ago, but didn't fix the problem. | |||

| We too have had the speedometer acting up. usually around 100km.some days it works but lately most days it does not work. going to get a new cable for it to see if it will change the problem. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2004 gmc yukon xl 1500. the contact stated that the gauges on the instrument panel displayed inaccurate readings. the dials in the gauges do not move when the vehicle is being driven at any speed. the gmc manufacturer stated that all of the instrument panels in the 2004 models experienced the same failure, and they would not repair the vehicle for free. the dealer stated that the instrument panel failed and would be the contact's responsibility to repair. the failure mileage was 75,000. | |||

| Speedometer failure on 2004 yukon xl. works fine until sudden failure. some sporadic attempts to work after but speedometer can easily be off by 30-40 mph. this is a very common problem with these gm vehicles and is known by gm. apparently the stepper motors moving the needles are failing. the speedometer is usually first (like mine) followed by the other gauges in the instrument panel as they are all driven by similar stepper motors. a reasonable expectation is to have the speedometer and other gauges last the life of the vehicle. a failure here and there is understandable but when you have failures at this frequency going on it is obvious that it was under designed. gm offering to stand behind only if it fails under 70k...most fail shortly thereafter. *tr | |||

| Speedometer gets stuck between 50-60 mph when car is off - fluctuates and can't determine rate of speed when driving. *tr | |||
