Speedometer on 2004 GMC yukon xl froze at 60 MPH. At next use speeds registered up to 120 MPH. Currently still stuck at 60 MPH when parked with engine off.
2004 GMC yukon xl. Gas gauge often reads incorrectly, many times pointing way past full or straight down. The volt meter has begun reading incorrectly, showing in excess of 20 volts when driving and in excess of 16 volts when stopped with the engine off (key on). The speedometer has started to read incorrectly often reading 0-10 MPH when traveling at 30-40 MPH (gauged by traffic). GM did look at fuel gauge issue 2 years ago, but didn't fix the problem.
