2004 GMC Yukon Denali electrical problems

Filed Oct 3, 2017 · Electrical · AZ

This is the 2nd gm all terrain vehicle I have owned that the speedometer quits working after 50000 miles . When I research on mine there are a bunch of owners that are complaining about the same thing. And it's the instrument panel that needs to be changed

First the airbag warning light came on. This has been an ongoing issue since 2008. My speedometer registered the wrong speed. My settings for the seat and mirrors quit working over time.hot air would come out of my vents when the air conditioner was on randomly. Radio, navigation, heat, air conditioner and mirrors would turn on/off randomly without touching controls. The last 3 years went through 3 batteries in 3 years. Tests showed at least 5 things are actively draining battery in the fuse box. Issues happened mostly when car was on but mirrors would randomly move when car was not on, very creepy.

The engine light constantly stays on and I've taken it to a mechanic but it comes right back on again. The gas gauge doesn't work properly. When you fill the tank to full the arrow only goes to the halfway mark.

There are several complaints, on the 2004 gmc denalis. It's like it starts slow your gauges go out. You have no idea how fast you are going! Then the oil, temp for engine, and transmission. Which I had to replace. Then the brakes get a mind of their own. Recently the radio & lights are acting up which is scary, I have a 7 yr. Old. The heat in the back doesn't work for her, so I have several blankets for her. The television quit long ago, it was one of the reasons we bought the car, so kids could watch television on long trips, or whenever. We paid a lot for this vehicle, I would think gmc would step up and do the right thing and correct the product they stand by,and are very proud of. I would love to just purchase a new vehicle. I do not have that luxury, I lost my job, we are pay check to pay check with my husbands income. I can't fix or replace this car, that I absolutely loved before all the malfunctions/defects. I have a garmin so I can tell my speed, and have to hit the side inside the car when the lights won't work. I pray, you will look into this matter before someone is seriously hurt, as so many have reported the same complaints. One gentlemen gave you a website I've seen myself of peoples complaints. I thank you for your time, and anything you can do to help us!!

At approximately 1:54 pm I was leaving work and I didn't get about 1,000 feet when I began to see smoke coming from the center console area where the cigarette lighter was. I pulled over into a gas station and took the cup holders out trying to search where the smoke was coming from. I then saw smoke coming from the vents on the dashboard. I also saw smoke coming from the battery compartment under the hood. I opened the hood and more smoke with coming from the vent. I opened the passenger side door and saw that behind the center console just under the cd play, the wires were on fire and the fire continued to become larger. I called the fire department at 1:56 pm and again at 1:59 pm when they arrived and the entire dashboard was burning. The vehicle's dashboard was completely melted along with the controls above by the sunroof. The vehicle is a complete loss. The vehicle has been parked at my job for more than 6 hours before I took it to go home. I sustained smoke inhalation and heat burns on my face. I was transported to the local hospital, treated and release.

I have a 2004 gmc yukon denali and as I see from the many complaints before me my cluster has went out. I have no use of my dashboard at all. No use of gas gauge. No use of speedometer. No use of oil gauge. No use of anything on dash. Why after all the complaints has gmc not done anything. If this causes an accident like what is going on now with ignition switch they will pay so much more with lawsuits. I will be the first in line, can't tell you how many times I have ran off the road for lack of gas

I started my car and while I was in park the speedometer said 70mph. While I was driving it would register over 120mph. I had no idea what speed I was truly going. This is a scary feeling especially with my three children in the car. I tried turning off the car putting it in drive and back to park thinking perhaps it was stuck, but nothing works. I see this is a common problem...help??

When we turn left, the vehicle turns off ,loses power steering, brakes, gauges light up, this only happens when turning left between 3-5 miles hour, the garage said they could not find anything wrong, and the stability control is on to.
