It started this fall maybe closer to winter. But all of a sudden the speedo stuck at about 70 miles an hour. At first I thought it was a glitch but when it happened more and more now I know that it is a problem. The safety issue is there are others out there having the same problem and when you think you are going a certian MPH and your really not some might get frustrated with others even though they may be in the wrong. I can just see all the road rage happening because they think they are goind 70 and they are really going 80 or more. I have been watching my tachometer but I dont know what others are doing. This needs to be addressed. Because I am being told that it will cost 600+ to fix. How many of those having this problem are going to spend that kind of money to fix a speedometer?

I have a 2003 gmc yukon with approx. 89,000 miles. All of a sudden the speedometer began acting erratic. Showing 60 MPH when stopped.
Speedometer needle is erratic and at times stays on zero while traveling. Often displays a speed far less than the vehicle is actually traveling. Estimate to replace cluster is close to $1,000.00. I am finding out that this is a very widespread and well know problem. Recall soon?
Speedometer reads incorrectly it just sits at zero,even at highway speeds. Very erratic needle movement.
Speedometer unreliable, drops slowly from highway speed to 0 while still on highway going full speed. Fuel gage also erratic. Service 4wd pops up in display and once vehicle is cut off service message is gone, shows up once a month or so. Steering box replaced once at my expense, continues to make noise and now feels erratic.
Speedometer in 2003 gmc yukon acting erratically. Inaccurate reporting of speed on speedomoter. Truck shows 50 MPH when stopped. This is very unsafe and cant be trusted. I have read on the internet where there are numerous complaints. Gmc needs to issue a recall on this issue.
I have had ongoing problems with my 2003 gmc yukon. It started in september of 2004 with my rear air not working, it was inoperable; and, a popping noise in my steering, the steering felt loose. The rear air was temporarily fixed in october of 2004 but continues to be a problem now in september of 2005, one year later. I've never really had rear air since I bought the vehicle, it works occasionally. I still have no rear air and vehicle has been in the shop more than 7 times for this problem. It took until january of 2005 to fix the steering problem. I've also had problems with my speedometer, which quit working in december of 2004 and the part was on back order and I had to take my vehicle in and leave for the dealership to send the speedometer to california for reprogramming, this problem was fixed in january of 2005.
