I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON XL DENALI THAT HAS A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER; DOESN'T WORK, OR WORKS ERRATICALLY, READS ZERO WHEN DOING 60. IF YOU TURN THE ENGINE OFF IT SEEMS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY BRIEFLY. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE SEEN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, I TRULY BELIEVE GM SHOULD RECALL THIS IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY.

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING A MUCH HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THAN I WAS GOING 120 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED BUT THE SPEEDOMETER ONLY WENT DOWN TO 60 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. HAVE NOT REPAIRED PROBLEM. DEALER WANTS 750.00 TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I WAS REFERRED TO THIS SITE AFTER READING MORE THAN 180 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON SIMILAR GMC MODELS.

I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER HOME FROM TUTORING WHEN I REALIZED THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAPPENED TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE TIME SO I KEPT UP WITH THE OTHER CARS, BUT GOING DOWN THE STREETS TO OUR HOUSE IN THE DARK MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE. SOMETIMES IT STICKS AT ZERO AND OTHER TIMES IT MAXS OUT AT 120 MPH. THE DEALER I CALLED SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WOULD COST ABOUT $600+ TO FIX AND ALSO IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS.
