Vehicle's instrument panel fails to operate properly. Vehicle is out of warranty coverage. Speedometer registers ~40 MPH when vehicle is standing still. Oil pressure gauge 'pegs out'. Gas gauge is unreliable. Vehicle is 2005 year, gmc has recalled instrument panels on 2003 and 2004 model years, but not 2005. With unreliable instrument panel, this is a safety hazard. Made a visit to dealer. Diagnosed as needing new instrument panel at cost exceeding $600. We feel that gmc should consider extending recall to encompass 2005 models as well.
2005 GMC Yukon XL electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Instrument panel cluster gauge needle -- speedometer gauge -- works intermittently. It sticks on 0mph, on a previous rate of speed regardless of increase or decrease, or displays rate of speed at 100+ MPH. Very inconsistent. When the speedometer does decide to work it is about 10-15 MPH off of accurate rate of speed. (compared to GPS that displays current rate of speed) it was taken to dealer and contact stated that it is same cluster panel gauge of 2003-04 year models currently in recall although has not extended to 2005-06 year models at this time.
Speedometer will not work properly. Will either stay at 0mph or is stuck at 60 MPH regardless if the vehicle is moving or not.
