2004 GMC Yukon: wrong fuel gauge reading

Filed Nov 3, 2017 · Electrical · 120,000 miles · MI

Speedometer sticks at highway speeds and registers at least 20 MPH higher than actual speed and needle fluctuates so you can not tell how fast you are going. Fuel gauge is inaccurate. Both are safety concerns. At 120,000 miles I am beyond gm's extended warranty. Should be recalled and fixed.

Fuel gauge reading inaccurately. Needle went way past the full mark into the blank area on the bottom of the gauge. Also, the speedometer was reading 120mph when I was pulling out of my driveway. I stuck at 70mph when I was stopped.

The speedometer is erratic, usually showing 130 MPH. The oil gauge and gas gauge have now stopped working as well. We can only gauge our speed by using a GPS. It has been happening for about a year and we have over 100,000 miles on the vehicle.

I bought a used 2004 gmc yukon in march of 2008, previously it had been a fleet vehicle. We purchased the vehicle in colorado, and drove it to washington state. Shortly after we arrived, the tachometer stopped working. It gets stuck at ether 25 rpms, or 75 rpms. The speedometer reads accurately, and only recently the fuel gauge has been sticking. I had gotten a notice that these parts had been "recalled" but only for a certain amount of time, for vehicles over 7,000 miles on it. At the time my vehicle only had about 6,500 miles. When I called a gmc office they told me there was nothing they could do.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the rpms, fuel gauge, speedometer, and oil gauge became inoperable. The dealer stated that the contact would have to pay over $800 to correct the failures. She received a letter that stated there was a defect in the vehicle. Both the dealer and manufacturer stated that they could not provide repairs under the "defect campaign" due to the mileage of her vehicle. Repairs were only being made to vehicles with less than 50,000 miles. The failure mileage was 70,000 and current mileage was less than 110,000. Updated 05/05/09 *bf updated 05/07/09.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 gmc yukon. Approximately six months ago, the fuel gauge began to display inaccurate fuel readings. Beginning in november of 2007, the speedometer began malfunctioning and remains at 120 MPH, even when the vehicle is not on. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on four separate occasions for the steering wheel to be greased because it makes a popping noise every six months. The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer concerning the fuel gauge or the speedometer at this time. There is an extended warranty on the fuel gauge and speedometer, which has been extended to 70,000 miles. The VIN, engine size, and purchase date were unknown. The current mileage was 123,000 and failure mileage was 118,000.

I purchased 10/2/2004 a 2004 gmc yukon which had about 1500 miles left before the factory warranty expired. The mileage on the speedometer read 31144. Since I paid for the vehicle cash I did not purchase an extended warranty. Sometime after the extended warranty expired and the safety belt recall in 8/2005 my speedometer stopped working properly and my gas gauge began to stick. When I was advised that this was because of a faulty cluster and the price it cost I've managed to make due and not incurring any more speeding tickets and running out of gas. Now that gm has taken responsibility for the faulty equipment where I am able to get this fixed at no charge to me, gm is stating that I have exceeded the 7 year or 70,000 mile limitation. I currently have 92,000 miles on the truck, however, I am not responsible for the 31144 that was there when it was purchased. I feel that the gauges on a vehicle are essential to the safety of that vehicle and other drivers. Now that gm has taken the responsibility for the faulty equipment, there definitely needs to be a recall on their vehicles that are noted to have the problem.
