Tl* the contact owns a 2003 gmc yukon. The contact became aware that the speedometer failed when cited by a police officer for speeding. The police officer advised that the contact was traveling 55 MPH but the speedometer displayed that the vehicle was traveling 30 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic and located the failure at the speedometer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but would not assist with the repair. The failure mileage was 119,000 and the current mileage was 120,000.
The instrument panel gauges are sticking the odometer is not working at all the oil gauge is pinned and the other gauges also stick. The odometer and oil gauge is all the time and nothing has been done to repair the problem gm has informed me that they will not help me get this very dangerous defect repaired. This is a defect in the panel cluster not wear and tear or anything we have done.
I own a 2003 gmc yukon, last year the instrument dash cluster started to fail along with a continuous loud dinging from the warning bell and the air conditioning would stop working along with the windows powering off, shortly after I received a letter from gmc describing this exact defect, recently I contacted gmc regarding this issue and was greeted by a call center in the philippines, the man told me to take the car to a gmc dealership and they would take care of the issue, after I got the car to the dealership and started diagnostics I called back to let them know and they then informed me that I would have to pay for the service. I was outraged that they had actually pulled a bait and switch on a repair???, after being left on hold for over an hour while the "customer service rep" tried to find a supervisor so they could figure out what to do, he finally got back on the phone and said I would have to keep holding, I then demanded to speak to a gmc representative in the states, while on hold for another half hour he returned and said I would be contacted in 24 hours by a USA rep. After three hours waiting for my car it was finally released to me free of charge, ( for the diagnostics) but still not fixed. I received a call from an american gmc rep, a few days later and while they danced around the issue and who should fix it, they kept calling me back to see if I found a dealership to get the issue diagnosed, I tried two dealerships and both indicated they did not want to help, I am now stuck with what is a dangerous defect on my $30,000 dollar family car! I bought this car for it's safety and comfort and now I'm afraid for my family to ride in it, can't trade it in, can't sell it and no one will fix this re-call issue.
Speedometer not working correctly, cluster is malfunctioning . Also, both heating and air conditioner boxes (front and back) are not working correctly. Vents are not opening and are clicking,so the defroster isn't working. Cd player is not working . All electrical problems.
2003 gmc yukon - speedometer stopped working. This appears a common problem and is a safety concern as it is extremely difficult to monitor and maintain speed appropirately.
2003 gmc yukon; speedometer and gas gauge do not work properly.
I have a 2003 gmc yukon. After having a daytime running light burn out, I removed the lens and found significant charring of the light bulb socket. It was burnt so bad that it mostly crumbled as I tried to remove the old bulb. I took off the other side to check it, and the condition of the socket was the same. Thus, both the left and right daytime running light sockets were burnt. The excessive heat from the bulb also distorted and ruined both of my lenses on the vehicle. I took the car to the dealer for repair and the service technician reported that these cars have lots of problems with heat on these light sockets. I'm shocked by this, and wonder how many car fires have resulted from this problem.
Speedometer on 2003 yukon fails. Gmc will not stand behind it even though there is a website www.speedometersettlement.com that gives vague details. Was told by gm that mileage too great. This is a known problem with their speedometers as evidenced by the web site.
Left turn signal: when signaling left, the turn signal indicators (arrows) on the instrument panel display both arrows (left and right) as though the hazard button has been used. Took to the dealer and they indicated it was the turn signal switch. They replaced the turn signal switch at my expense (301.23 plus 42.50 to diagnose). Ten minutes down the road for a lane change to the left, I signaled and the same thing happened (both arrows flashing). I have no idea what the cars around me see in regards to my lights. I have notified the dealer.
My vehicle is a 2003 gmc yukon. The speedometer is not registering, and when (the gauge) is trying to operate, the vehicle hesitates while accelerating and the gauge does the same as well as the gas gauge. I know all my dashboard gauges need to be checked for malfunction. This began two weeks ago, I called doug henry of farmville to check my vehicle for recalls, only to find out it is not listed. My husband has a 2003 gmc yukon xl, he received a letter describing this problem and got information to get it fixed free of charge. I am not responsible for this problem and I believe there are other vehicles affected in this particular recall.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the speedometer did not function correctly. Occasionally, the speedometer would not work at all. The other instrument panel gauges have begun to malfunction and display inaccurate readings. When the contact placed fuel in the vehicle, the fuel gauge dial would stop a little below the full line; therefore, she never knew how much fuel was in the vehicle. The contact consulted gmc and they acknowledged the failure, but stated that there were no recalls. Gmc wanted to charge her $450 for the repair. The failure mileage was 42,000.
Speedometer just stopped working after not reflecting correct speeds on highway....have read very similar accounts on the web.
Speedometer was erratic then stopped working completely (reads 0 at any speed) on my '03 yukon.
My speedometer on my '03 yukon does not work correctly. When I'm not even moving at times it tells me that I'm going 60 MPH.

The needles for my speedometer and engine temp. Both sit in the 6 o'clock position and are completely inoperative. Speedometer has been broke since december of 2005 and the engine temp gauge broke october 2007.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 gmc yukon. The speedometer on the vehicle shows speeds of over 100 MPH and never less than 30 MPH. As a result, the contact never knows the actual speed he is driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times. The first time, the vehicle was still under warranty and the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The contact received a notice from gmc regarding the failure and stated that the vehicle had to have 70,000 miles or less in order to be repaired. He returned to the dealer and was informed that there were no previous failure reports. They advised the contact to bring the vehicle back when it began malfunctioning again. The failure has worsened and is unable to be repaired. The failure mileage was 25,000 and current mileage was 125,000.

While driving my 2003 gmc yukon the speedometer began acting erratically. Travel at 55 - 60 MPH shows 60 -120 MPH it is now stuck at 70 MPH while parked with the ignition off.
I received a letter on a re-call on the instrument panel gauge may stick, flutter, or become inoperative. This may cause inaccurate readings, including the speedometer and fuel gauge. Manufacturer will replace at no charge if your under the warranty 7 years or 70,000 miles which I fill is very cleaver for them.
Speedometer is malfunctioning. Reads speed incorrectly and "sticks" at 70 MPH when stopped, moves above 120 MPH when travel speed is only ~40 MPH.
Dash gauges inaccurate - especially speedometer - safety hazard.
The speedometer will get stuck or go up and get stuck at a certain speed even when the vehicle is not in motion. When you turn off the engine it will remain at that speed and when you restart the vehicle and begin motion, the speedometer will increase thus resulting in inaccurate speed.
Driving down the freeway and my speedometer stuck at seventy, then went wouldn't drop when slowing down. Then when stopped it was at seventy. Then when I went to the store and was going about thirty, it registered I was going 105. When turned off it stays up at around 70 to 80.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 gmc yukon. The contact was pulled over by the police for driving 90 MPH, however, the speedometer indicated 50 MPH. The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 60,000.
2003 gmc yukon. Instrument panel faulty. Gives incorrect speed, incorrect RPM, incorrect oil pressure. Can be going freeway speeds and speedometer will register 0 MPH at times.
The speedometer started slowly decreasing while on the interstate. It finally got to zero and quit working for the duration of the trip. It did this sporadically for about 2 weeks - sometimes it decreases, sometimes it increases. Now the speedometer, when it works, usually shows 70 MPH or higher. It registers a speed whether the vehicle is moving or not. All the other gauges seem to be working correctly. We now monitor our speed by the tachometer. We have not gotten an estimate on repair hoping gm will issue a recall.
I own a 2003 gmc yukon and it seems to have a problem with the instrument panel. Meaning the speedometer along with the battery gauge. The speedometer works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. My battery gauge works properly sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I went to my local dealer and without even checking into the problem he told me that I have to purchase a new instrument cluster panel. He said he has had to replace many other ones also. This problem started with the speedometer then it moved to my battery gauge. The problem has been getting worse. It has been going on now for about 8,000 miles. I have 47,273 miles on my yukon. It started just after my warranty expired.
