| 2005 gmc yukon xl speedometer reading erratic, now doesn't work at all - needle hangs down past 120 mph. appears that the stepper motor that drives the speedometer gauge has failed. i believe this has been recalled for model years before 2005, but not for this model year. dealer says that the entire instrument cluster needs to be replaced. *tr | |||

| When driving the speedometer needle will only go up. it will not come back down. so every time you stop it will add to your speed. i was doing 50mph and it said i was doing 120mph. it finally pegged at the highest speed it would go and would not move. i had it fixed at the dealership, which cost me $600. i found out there was a class action lawsuit about this. i filled out my claim form and was told by gmc that it was only a recall on certain vin numbers for my 2005. that mine was not included for the refund. and that i had the new version of the speedometer that was fixed. obviously, the new one they used didn't work either because i had the exact same problem as the 2003-2004 models. *tr | |||
