| My vehicle is a 2003 gmc yukon. the speedometer is not registering, and when (the gauge) is trying to operate, the vehicle hesitates while accelerating and the gauge does the same as well as the gas gauge. i know all my dashboard gauges need to be checked for malfunction. this began two weeks ago, i called doug henry of farmville to check my vehicle for recalls, only to find out it is not listed. my husband has a 2003 gmc yukon xl, he received a letter describing this problem and got information to get it fixed free of charge. i am not responsible for this problem and i believe there are other vehicles affected in this particular recall. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2003 gmc yukon. the contact stated that the speedometer did not function correctly. occasionally, the speedometer would not work at all. the other instrument panel gauges have begun to malfunction and display inaccurate readings. when the contact placed fuel in the vehicle, the fuel gauge dial would stop a little below the full line; therefore, she never knew how much fuel was in the vehicle. the contact consulted gmc and they acknowledged the failure, but stated that there were no recalls. gmc wanted to charge her $450 for the repair. the failure mileage was 42,000. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2003 gmc yukon. the speedometer on the vehicle shows speeds of over 100 mph and never less than 30 mph. as a result, the contact never knows the actual speed he is driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times. the first time, the vehicle was still under warranty and the dealer could not duplicate the failure. the contact received a notice from gmc regarding the failure and stated that the vehicle had to have 70,000 miles or less in order to be repaired. he returned to the dealer and was informed that there were no previous failure reports. they advised the contact to bring the vehicle back when it began malfunctioning again. the failure has worsened and is unable to be repaired. the failure mileage was 25,000 and current mileage was 125,000. | |||

| The speedometer started slowly decreasing while on the interstate. it finally got to zero and quit working for the duration of the trip. it did this sporadically for about 2 weeks - sometimes it decreases, sometimes it increases. now the speedometer, when it works, usually shows 70 mph or higher. it registers a speed whether the vehicle is moving or not. all the other gauges seem to be working correctly. we now monitor our speed by the tachometer. we have not gotten an estimate on repair hoping gm will issue a recall. *jb | |||

| I own a 2003 gmc yukon and it seems to have a problem with the instrument panel. meaning the speedometer along with the battery gauge. the speedometer works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. my battery gauge works properly sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. i went to my local dealer and without even checking into the problem he told me that i have to purchase a new instrument cluster panel. he said he has had to replace many other ones also. this problem started with the speedometer then it moved to my battery gauge. the problem has been getting worse. it has been going on now for about 8,000 miles. i have 47,273 miles on my yukon. it started just after my warranty expired. *jb | |||

| It started this fall maybe closer to winter. but all of a sudden the speedo stuck at about 70 miles an hour. at first i thought it was a glitch but when it happened more and more now i know that it is a problem. the safety issue is there are others out there having the same problem and when you think you are going a certian mph and your really not some might get frustrated with others even though they may be in the wrong. i can just see all the road rage happening because they think they are goind 70 and they are really going 80 or more. i have been watching my tachometer but i dont know what others are doing. this needs to be addressed. because i am being told that it will cost 600+ to fix. how many of those having this problem are going to spend that kind of money to fix a speedometer? | |||

| Speedometer unreliable, drops slowly from highway speed to 0 while still on highway going full speed. fuel gage also erratic. service 4wd pops up in display and once vehicle is cut off service message is gone, shows up once a month or so. steering box replaced once at my expense, continues to make noise and now feels erratic. *jb | |||
