THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS FAULTY DO TO BATTERY DRAIN. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH A MAJORITY OF TRUCKS AND SUV'S OF THE SAME GENERATION AS MY 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE COST FROM THE DEALER TO REPLACE THIS PART IS APPROXIMATELY $2000. THERE ARE AFTERMARKET INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO REPLACE THIS PART AT A COST OF ALL MOST $600.

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL SUNK AND I LOST BRAKES. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST DROVE INTO A GUARD RAIL. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I OBSERVE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE WAS CORRODED CAUSING IT TO BREAK. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH GMC AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. USING STAINLESS WOULD PREVENT INCIDENTS LIKE THESE AND POSSIBLE INJURIES OR DEATHS.
