Speedometer/odometer Failure Problems of GMC Yukon

Speedometer failed to function, gave inconsistent, incorrect speed. Gm dealer reports this as common and acknowledged by gm in this year/model, such that gm extended warranty to 72,000 miles. Since this was noticed past 72,000, gm offers to fix, for a substantial fee. Not knowing speed, or being misled by the speedometer, is a safety hazard.

Whilst driving on I-10 it was noted the indicated speed was less than posted. I accelerated , but the indicated speed did not increase. By the time I realized the speedometer was reading incorrectly I was zooming past other traffic. I was likely traveling 90 mph in the 70 mph zone. This was an extremely unsafe event. I took the vehicle to the dealer, and was told speedometer cluster failures were very common in 2003 and 2004 gm/GMC vehicles, but there was no recall. The dealer replaced the instrument cluster . He told me if he had a nickel for every one he replaced he would be a rich man.

- the contact stated that the speedometer was sticking and reported the incorrect vehicle speed on a 2004 GMC Yukon denali. Occasionally, while driving on the highway or in the city the speedometer failed at 40 mph.

Contact stated the speedometer and gas gauge failed. The needle on the speedometer moved, but it said 100 mph when going only 5 mph. He took the vehicle to the dealership, and they stated it was a common problem and usually happened at 30,000 miles. They were able to diagnose the problem without looking at the vehicle. He has not contacted the manufacturer and the vehicle has not been repaired.
