#4053 of 4062 Speedometer woes that self correct by fixitrod Apr 27, 2008 (6:48 pm)
On my 03 XLT with 6 disc RAP/Bose system(I mention this because it indicates what level of electronics are in the truck) which has a speedometer that just stops registering. Usually I have had success with disconnecting the battery which resets the brain. This time however due to busy schedule I did nothing and its now working fine. This leads me to consider a more local problem like faulty dial bearings. Any thoughts appreciated! Replies to this message: cheapengineer (May 29, 2008 9:16 pm)

Replying to: fixitrod (Apr 27, 2008 6:48 pm) The speedometer went bad on my 2004 Yukon XL too. There is a known problem with these in several model years. They replaced mine for free. Be sure to mention that you are aware that there is a technical bulletin on this and ask if they intend to repair it for free.

Replying to: fixitrod (Apr 21, 2008 7:48 am) I think on the 2003 they had a recall of the speedometers. Replies to this message: fixitrod (Jun 23, 2008 7:16 pm)

Replying to: glynette (Jun 23, 2008 4:03 pm) Contacted GMC and they responded very favorably and had me go to the dealer of my choice. They replaced the instrument cluster. Funny thing is this particuler dealer tried to get a $100.00 "deductible" from me which I refused to pay reminding them that this has been taken care of for free. Jeez...I had originally put the ball in their court reminding them that they who are suppossed to be on top of taking care of my truck had my truck in at around 70000 and missed this recall. My truck has 83000. Make these dealers back up what they say and rport them to GM when they don't.

Replying to: woody555 (Aug 03, 2005 6:31 pm) Hi Woody I just got this diagnosis. The shoe fits. Mine is an '04 GMC Sierra. only 26000 mi. but out of warranty. they found codes P0171 P0174 and P0300. misfiring on every cylinder in history. # 2 prominently. Help me to understand. My dealer didn't mention Doc id # 1538353. He did show me that there had been a bulletin and I found it via # PIP3022A. Recommendation .... "fuel pump" $ 710.00 P+L. I asked if he knew that it would fix the problem. He said "everything points to it". My responsibility ! Why aren't these things covered if they're problems known to GM? any thoughts ? Pete
#4059 of 4062 Re: Yukon XL Driver Side Seat Controls - REVERSED! [fixitrod] by zamraam Apr 20, 2009 (11:40 am)
Replying to: fixitrod (Feb 26, 2008 8:44 pm) Same problem with my 2003 yuk xl (sort of). Driver's seat will not travel back past a certain point (cramps me behind the wheel - really unfun). Reverse sensing on the switch sometimes and I can make the seat travel aft to a comfortable position by moving the switch forward but it hasn't done that for awhile. The seat position memory has never worked right on this vehicle. The dealer had supposedly repaired that twice back when the thing was still in warranty but it never held the memory properly and I gave up on it. POS
#4060 of 4062 2004 Yukon XL transmission problems by oh1odie1 Apr 27, 2009 (3:24 pm)
Just to add to the long list of people unhappy with the transmission problems - We have to fork over $3000.00 for a new transmission. This vehicle has been in over the years at least 5 times for transmissions problems - but 36 days after the dealer recommended a "transmission flush" - the entire transmission blows up! Co-incidence? I think NOT! I think it is pretty suspicious that after a recommended procedure of "flushing" is done to have the transmission blow up only after 36 days!!! DO NOT BUY A GMC PRODUCT!!!! Basically, the dealer and GMC complaint department says "too bad, so sad" (I take that as a sign that obviously buying American is NOT what they want us to do- I guess Toyota is what I am looking at now!!)

Replying to: oh1odie1 (Apr 27, 2009 3:24 pm) oh1odie1, I can not disagree with your post about the support we can expect from GM. However, don't think just because its a Toyota, it won't have defects and problems. Yes, I do agree that Toyota vehicles have the highest overall reliability rating, but, I have seen several cases of engine and Transmission failures (in different models, except Corolla) where Toyota will NOT do anything for their customers (So bad, too bad) leaving them to pay out of their own pockets.   In my case (oh oh, breakout the violin), the short version, with my EX 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser-TLC, I finally throw my keys back to my Toyota dealer and told them to just send me the check for what the TLC's worth (which in mind still is a POS; and YES I walked home that day). The longer version, you would think the TLC is bullet proof, but it leaks in more places than my kid's diaper (at the transfer case and the right-front CV-joint, I have seen that in MANY TLCs and LX-470s around the 2000 to 2003 model years as well)... After a few visits to my Toyota dealer about the leaks, According to the my local Toyota dealer as well as the Toyota of USA Customer/Technical support, "the Transfer Case oil leak is best to leave it until the leak gets worse" (What kind of a support response was that ?? - about several drops each night is not bad enough...??), and as for the CV-Joint grease leak out of its boot, the dealer excused it as normal, they won't even try to fix it (i.e. replace the clamp of something) unless the CV Joint is bad. One mechanic told me off record, that its just too much pain to fix them, and not worth the risk as they are quite difficult to service..), what a shock it was for me to hear that -Wow! Now, you tell me if you were me, would you think from that point that TLC is reliable, especially with the transfer case leak? Would you appreciate the response from Toyota USA? Do you think the support received from Toyota USA and my dealer were helpful and supportive towards solving these leak problems? If you were me, would you drive that TLC for a family vacation?   FYI, I have a 2007 Yukon Denali since new, so far, except for one computer Re-program recall, it has been 100% problem free. I guess there is always a bad apple in a group, regardless of which we picked just don't expect too much help from the manufacturers... unless all of your years of scheduled maintenance work have been done by your dealership, they may consider offering a couple of hundred dollars of discount on those major repairs.   Best wish to all !!

Replying to: jbaumgartner (Jan 04, 2008 10:37 am) Good day,  I am starting to hear a roaring sound from my SUV in park and in drive. It just happened when I turned the corner a mile ago. I believe it similar to your problem. How much does it cost for this repair?
