2003 GMC Yukon: wrong fuel gauge reading

Filed Jan 13, 2017 · Electrical · 64,500 miles · OH

Speedometer and other instruments are inaccurately reading. Speedometer ranges from 25 - 70 MPH overstated. Fuel gauge remains well in excess of full until about 7 gallons are left in tank. Oil pressure is registering well to the right of the highest reading. Problem began during cold temperature (around 10 degrees) and improves with temperature increases but has not resolved itself. Appears to be the same problem as gm special policy adjustment 07187a. The VIN is within the category listed by the policy; however, the vehicle is older than 10 years but fits within the mileage restrictions since the vehicle has less than 64,500 miles. This appears to be a known defect which clearly impacts safety. The following link describes the known issue: http://www.gmspeedometerrecall.com/gmc-speedometer-settlement location of vehicle is kansas city, ks since I am currently in the process of relocation.

Gas gauge does not correctly reflect what is in the tank, have run out of gas or come close quite a few times due to incorrect readings, it will show 1/2 full and drop rapidly within minutes to empty. I've taken it in they said it was the gauge cluster in the dash so they replaced it, it happened again, took it back in and of course at that time it was out of warranty they said they have not heard of any problems at the dealership in regards to this problem and that they assume the sending unit is bad and would replace it if I paid for it, why this wasn't done the 1st time under warranty is beyond me, but I've noticed on the news that other vehicles are having similar problems and searching the web I see I'm not alone. They need to step up and fix the problem.

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.

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.

Dt: contact stated the speedometer and gas gauge failed. The needle on the speedometer moved, but it said 100 MPH when going only 5 MPH. He took the vehicle to the dealership, and they stated it was a common problem and usually happened at 30,000 miles. They were able to diagnose the problem without looking at the vehicle. He has not contacted the manufacturer and the vehicle has not been repaired.
