What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 GMC yukon. The contact stated that the rear seat radio function was not functioning. The contact noticed the console was extremely hot. The dealer was made aware of the failure but a diagnostic test was not performed. Also, the contact stated that the passenger side daytime running headlight bulb was replaced three different times. The contact noticed the light bulbs that were removed were black and appeared melted on the bottom. The vehicle was not repaired for the radio failure.
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.
