The speedometer on my 2004 yukon xl has failed. Sometimes the dial stays at 0mph no matter my speed, sometimes it reads 120mph no matter the speed, and sometimes it reads 20mph above and below the actual speed limit. Gm has identified is as a problem but has not agreed to cover all 2004 models for this repair. This be should be identified for a system wide recall and gm should be required to pay to rectify this safety issue.

No incident resulting in crashes or injuries. However, failure to information cluster including the speedometer has failed to provide vital information in order to operate the vehicle safely.
Speedometer sticks on my 2004 gmc yukon xl, it continues to happen on a daily basis. I have "reset" the speedometer numerous times by turning the ignition key almost to the start position but after @ 10 miles, it will be stuck again.
I started having problems with the speedometer becoming erratic on my 2004 gmc yukon xl about 2 weeks ago. Nothing seems to fix it and it is really a safety issue. As a member of the us military and a firefighter I feel I put my life on the line enough. I have found several web-sites with literally thousands of people with the same problems on many different gm vehicles (mostly trucks and SUV's). This should be a recalled item before someone gets hurt and sues gm or is that what it takes for a billion dollar company to get the point. I had this part quoted to me at $480 and don't feel it is my responsibility to pay for defective parts considering all these other peoples problems. *tr updated 10/10/07
