2005 GMC Yukon owner complaints

Driving vehicle at highway speeds for approx. 1 hour causes dial-type speedometer to begin registering incorrectly. Initially the deviation is only 3-4 MPH, but over time will worsen. Actual speed is being measured with handheld GPS unit to check against speedometer deviation. Speedometer can register over or under actual speed. At worse, speedometer can show 0-5 MPH while traveling at 60-65 MPH actual, and at other times has registered 110-115 MPH while traveling at 40-45 MPH actual. If engine is shut off and restarted, speedometer will register actual speed for a short time, then begin deviating from actual again. Problem does not appear to occur when only traveling at speeds below highway speed (30-45 MPH), but when traveling at highway speeds long enough for deviation to occur, s

My speedometer quit working and I checked and it is a factory defect. *tr

The speedometer went from 70mph to 120mph and then just stuck there- our speed was approximately 70mph at the time the speedometer failed. *tr

I was driving on a divided highway and went to slow down to make a left hand turn and the brakes initially worked but at about 30 MPH there was a total failure and the pedal went all the way to the floor. I had to stand on the pedal, so to speak, to get the 2005 yukon to stop before hitting the traffic stopped in front of me. I had the truck towed home and upon inspection the break line had failed right below the radiator where it connects to a plastic retainer clip. I was amazed at the fact with only 118,000 miles I had total rust through on brake lines. This is one of the most important parts on a vehicle and would expect the lines to last longer. I live in southern indiana about 40 miles for cincinnati, oh. This is unbelievable!! Since I repaired this failure, the trans line and anothe

Lost brakes completely. The was a catastrophic failure in the cluster of brake lines in front of ABS module due to rust which left a puddle containing all of the brake fluid on the ground. Luckily the vehicle was in a church parking lot when it happened and a sudden stop was not needed from a higher speed. This could have been bad if that were the case. Too bad gm did to spend a few extra dollars on rust-proof brake lines given how exposed to the elements they are.

I was pulling up to a stop light, and the brakes went out. I ran into the truck in front of me while going between 20 to 25 MPH. The auto repair shop said my brake line was corroded and it snapped. *tr

When I went to pull the yukon into the driveway, the brake pedal went to the floor and I barely made it into the driveway and stopped. I had the vehicle towed to the gm dealership. I was called within a couple of hours and told that the brake lines had burst and had corrupted all of the rotors and the cost would be over $3k to repair/replace. Note: the rotors were replaced sep 2013 and had less than 1k mileage. I called gm corporate to ask for relief on 10/6/14 and was told I would receive a call within 24 hours by a senior advisor. After not hearing back, I called on 10/10/14 and was told that the vehicle was out of warranty and they couldn't do anything. I citied all the cases on line about faulty brake lines and NHTSA ea11001 and the lady had no knowledge of any issues. She stated it

My 2005 yukon 4wd went out. It started as an intermittent problem. The first time I took it to the dealer since it was not currently having problems they were unable to identify the issue. This time it was out for several days before I finally took it in. Although nothing extreme happened, since I was aware of the issue, but if someone was not aware of the issue they could potentially lose control of there vehicle since the traction control system is also disabled in this problem. Replaced the 4wd actuator total bill 762.00 was also told it could potentially short out the brain box for the 4wd operating system. The first time it happened it was when the weather was cold, never had an issue all summer until now, when the weather turned cold. My vehicle only had 38,000 miles the first time a

2005 faulty GMC yukon dash system. Dealer originally told me it was the fuel pump but suggested it might be alcohol in the gasoline. I tried using ethanol free gas and it worked. I couldn't find any ethanol free gas on dec 25th so I had to use 10% ethanol and my entire dash has quit working. I can't tell how fast I'm going, if I have fuel or how many miles I have on my vehicle. The GMC dealership wants me to replace my fuel pump, dash board and they estimate it will cost around $1500. It worked fine without ethanol! *tr

On certain trucks, the bolt that attaches the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear may not meet specification. The bolt may fracture resulting in the loss of steering. This is from a GMC sierra truck, but I have this wrong with my GMC yukon. *tr

The inside tread of every tire is 1/2 inch shorter than the outside tread after only 30,000 miles. The car alignment was checked and only slightly off. Two auto mechanics have said they are junk tires and that is why they wore the way they did. *tr

Failure of rear window hinge in GMC 2005 yukon. Hinge and glass separate, window is loose; can be pulled off due to suction from other vehicles or the wind. Contacted GMC, customer service rep, christian, said not covered due to warranty expired on vehicle, no recall in effect. I explained there are several posts all with the same issue regarding the rear hinge failing. He offered to provide a service provider, but I would have to pay the expense of replacing the entire back glass. This seems to be a known problem to GMC, some posts indicated covered by dealers, others were not. One listing of back glass falling out while driving. This occurred when we opened the back glass to get something out of the rear of the vehicle. Vehicle is garaged at home, and while at work. Rear window I
