2004 GMC Envoy Complaint Log

SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD, NO BUMPS, AND REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERED. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S ENVOYS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEBODY SHOT OUT MY WINDOW BECAUSE WHO HAS EVER HEARD OF A WINDOW JUST EXPLODING FOR NO REASON. WELL, APPARENTLY GMC FOUND A WAY TO MAKE WINDOWS, "JUST EXPLODE", AND THEN WEASELS THEIR WAY OUT OF PAYING TO FIX THIS EMBARRASSMENT OF AMERICAN ENGINEERING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ GMC HAS REFUSED ALL CASES COMPENSATION FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO I CAME HERE TO VOICE MY FRUSTRATION BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $795 TO FIX MY TRUCK. I AM WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. MY 1999 VW JETTA WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE THE GROUND EFFECT TRIM WOULD GET CAUGHT ON PARKING BLOCKS AND CAUSE DAMAGE, BUT THIS WINDOW EXPLODING IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. SO I WILL CALL GMC ON JAN.2 WHEN OFFICES OPEN BACK UP, AND DEPENDING ON HOW THAT GOES I MIGHT CALL UP A BUDDY WHO PRACTICES LAW TO SEE WHAT THE CHANCES ARE FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT. *TR

MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON DURING THE SUMMER OF 2013 AND DIAGNOSTICS WERE COMPLETED STATING THAT THERE WAS A PRESSURE ISSUE, THEN LATER IN THE FALL, NOTICED FUEL SMELL AT TIME OF FUELING. TOOK CAR TO SHOP TO GET CHECKED, SHOP OWNER FOUND RECALL FOR INJURIES DEMONSTRATED IN MY FUEL SYSTEM. MOVED CAR TO GMC DEALER FOR OFFICIAL DIAGNOSTICS, THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY A 2003, SINCE IT WAS SOLD IN DEC OF THAT YEAR AND WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE. I THEN FOUND A RECALL NOTICE PUBLISHED IN 2007 THAT INCLUDED 2002 AND 2003 VEHICLES WITH THE INITIAL RECALL. GMC TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO COVER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL(THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN IN A SATISFACTORY WAY HOW THIS AFFECTED ME AS A CONSUMER). THE NHTSA ACTION # IS PE07014. AT THE TIME OF THE SYMPTOMS, MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 130,000 MILES ON IT (AS IT HAS JUST 130 K ON IT NOW) AND WAS JUST UNDER 10 YEARS OLD. *TR

I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE SMOGED AND THE SMOG TECH LET ME KNOW I HAVE A LEAK FROM A CLAMP. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT TO REPLACE THE CLAMP AND SAW THAT THE NECK ON THE GAS TANK WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND THAT WAS WHERE THE ACTUALLY LEAK WAS COMING FROM. APPARENTLY THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH OTHER PEOPLES GMC ENVOY'S, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND THE NECK IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC. NOW I AM AT A LOSS OF A CAR UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX IT. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOT BY THE OWNERS. *TR

THE FUEL TANK NECK WHERE THE FUEL GOES INTO THE VEHICLE THEN DOWN TO THE GAS TANK IS CRACKED WHICH IS CAUSING A GAS LEAK & VAPORS. *TR

NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THEN PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT. UPON INVESTIGATION I NOTICED THE LIGHT SOCKET FOR THE HEAD LIGHT WAS MELTED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH SOME ACTUALLY CAUSING FIRE OR ACCIDENTS. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY, WELL MAINTAINED AT 158,000 MILES BEGAN TO EMIT AN ODOR OF GASOLINE. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY NOTICEABLE, BUT OVERTIME IT'S BECOME VERY NOTICEABLE. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE CAR SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. NO GASOLINE IS LEAKED, ONLY FUMES ARE EMITTED. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATE THAT THERE IS A CRACK ON THE INLET OF THE FUEL TANK. REPAIR SHOP STATED MY MODEL IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL ISSUED FOR ENVOY XL OF THE SAME YEAR, BUT STATED IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. ESTIMATE COST OF REPAIR $1000+. *TR

I HAVE BEEN READING MANY OF THESE POST. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE ALSO HAPPENED TO MY ENVOY. I HAVE HAD MY BACK WINDOW BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING, THANK GOD THAT BOTH OF MY KIDS THAT WERE IN THE BACK SEAT WERE NOT HURT, THEY WERE JUST SCARED AND STILL ASK IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I ALSO RECENTLY JUST HAD TO HAVE A PIECE ON THE GAS LINE FIXED WHICH WAS ALMOST $900.00 MONEY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE AND HAD TO BORROW. I AM STILL PAYING IT BACK. NOW AS FOR LAST NIGHT MY LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING, I BOUGHT NEW BULBS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO IT IS BACK TO THE MECHANIC. OH AND I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT GOES ON AND OFF. THEY REALLY NEED TO GET ON ALL OF THESE THINGS. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE CAR WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. I MAY JUST PRINT THESE THINGS UP AND BRING TO THE GMC SHOP AND SEE WHAT THE CAN DO ABOUT IT. I MEAN I REALLY TO LOVE MY SUV BUT THIS IS CRAZY. I AM NOW KIND OF SCARED TO HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

I WILL CUT THE CAR ON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IDOLS HARD THEN CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING . I READ ON INTERNET ALIT OF GM VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM JUST WONDERING IS THERE A RECALL? ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT WILL NOT CUT OFF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ANOTHER MOTORIST SAW SMOKE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE AND GOT VEHICLE STOPPED ON SIDE OF ROAD AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. CALLED FIRE DEPT AND POLICE. FIRE SPREAD THROUGH THE HEARER BOX INTO THE VEHICLE AND ACROSS DASH UNTIL IT BEGAN BURNING THE HEADLINER. FIRE DEPT PUT OUT FIRE BUT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON INSTRUMENT PANEL OF ANY PROBLEMS (ALL GAUGES SHOWING NORMAL READINGS). *TR

THE "CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT FLASHES FOLLOWED BY "LOW OIL PRESSURE" FOLLOWED BY "STOP ENGINE" AND THE ENGINE STALLS. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS THE AC HAS BEEN ON. SENT TO DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW. VERY SCARY. *TR

I HAVE HAD AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE FOR WEEKS AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTO STORE AND HAD THEM PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER THE CODE READ SMALL EVAP LEAK SO I BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THAT DIDN'T WORK SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR IT TO BE CHECKED OUT AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. ON THE FIRST VISIT HE SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND CODES READ PO 442 & 445 ? SMALL/LARGE EMISSION LEAK, HE CHECKED ALL COMPONENTS AND COULD FIND NOTHING. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AS THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE WAS GETTING WORSE AND THE GAS SMELL WAS STILL PRESENT THE SAME CODE CAME UP FOR THE EMISSION/EVAP LEAK AND STILL NOTHING FOR THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE. HE THEN DID A SMOKE TEST AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FILLER NECK OF THE PLASTIC GAS TANK THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND MUST BE REPLACED. HE REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER SENDER WHICH STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND BOTH OF THESE ISSUES TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH OTHER ENVOY OWNERS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE PARTS AND WHY GMC IS LEAVING THE COST OF REPAIRS UP TO THE OWNERS. THESE ARE MANUFACTURE??S DEFECTS. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPUTABLE COMPANY. I HAVE CALLED INTO GMC SUPPORT AND THEY AS WELL AS STAFF AT A GMC DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS WAS STATED IN A RECALL BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED SO NO FINANCIAL HELP WAS GIVEN. $1,215.29 LATER I HAVE A NEW GAS TANK AND MY SPEEDOMETER STILL DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS... TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR PRODUCT MALFUNCTIONS!!! HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES THERE NEED TO BE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED ON THESE VEHICLE ISSUES? *TR

MY CAR IS LEAKING GAS AND I. CAN ONLY PUT 20 OR 30 DOLLARS WORTH IN AT A TIME WHERE MOST OF IT ENDS UP ON THE GROUND. THERE IS ALSO A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL. I'M TAKING IT IN TO BE FIXED BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM SINCE I JUST READ THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM SO THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GOES OFF. THESE ARE PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRE A RECALL. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER BEGINS TO GIVE FAULTY READINGS. AT FIRST IT WAS REPORTING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR UNDER ACTUAL SPEED. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH DUE TO EXCESSIVE UNKNOWN SPEED. IN THE LAST FEW DAYS THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS AT 60 MPH AND IS OFF BY APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AMOUNT SO WHEN TRAVELING 50 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER READS 110 MPH. THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ABOUT THIS YET NO RECALLS. HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION. *TR

THE LOW BEAMS WILL NOT COME ON !!! THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU "RECALL". *TR

EMISSION RELATED PROBLEM, OBD II CODE P0410 SECONDARY AIR INJECTION VALVE CHECK VALVE ASSOCIATED WITH AIR INJECTION SYSTEM PROBLEM, I HAD IT REPLACED TWICE ALREADY WITH ORIGINAL PART FROM DEALER VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH EMISSION OVER THIS DEFECTIVE VALVE (WATER BUILD UP INSIDE/MALFUNCTION)

AC PLUG TO FAN MOTOR BURNT/MELT, DAYLIGHT/HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS MELTED MULTIPLE TIMES HAD THEM REPLACED 3 TIMES EACH SIDE... CLUSTER/ RADIO/AC LIGHTS BURNING OUT LIGHTS OUT ON DIFFERENT AREAS FROM ILLUMINATION TO GAGES TO RADIO AND AC CONTROL BUTTON LIGHTS HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING SO DID CLUSTER, RADIO AND AC LIGHTS HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED BY DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BACK IN 2013 OVER CLUSTER SHORTENING, HAD MY RADIO REPLACED AS WELL BY DEALER SAME TIME

SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC. STAYS AT 120MPH AT ALL SPEEDS UNTIL VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN. DRIVEN AGAIN, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL OR IS ERRATIC SHOWING MULTIPLE SPEEDS. AS AN EXAMPLE, FREEWAY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 70 SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 0 AT TIMES, 40 AT TIMES OR EVEN MAY READ 120, VERY ERRATIC. *TR

A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF MY CAR. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND BEING DRIVEN THE SMELL IS MOST HEAVIEST. AFTER DRIVING AND IT SITS, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SMELL THE GAS FUMES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DETECTED. I CONTINUE TO BE AFRAID THAT MAYBE MY CAN IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE OR EXPLODE AT ANY TIME. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF GMC ENVOYS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME OF THE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THIS ISSUE REACHES FAR BEYOND THOSE MODELS. ALL MAKE AND MODELS WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

CONNECTION TO HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING UP! (PLUG) I REPLACE THEM 4 TIMES ALREADY! *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT USED TO EITHER STAY ON 0 OR GO UP TO 90. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES FOR SPEEDING BECAUSE I CAN NOT DETERMINE MY SPEED. SINCE THAT BROKE, I HAVE ALSO LOST ALL OF MY OTHER INSTRUMENTS, INCLUDING GAS... I RAN OUT OF GAS ON ROUTE 495 IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING ABOUT 60 MPG!!! THANKFULLY I DID NOT PANIC AND WAS ABLE TO GET MY FLASHERS ON AND MOVE INTO THE SLOW LANE AND THEN TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. I HAVE HAD MANY PEOPLE TELL ME THIS IS A RECALL ON THE GMC PICK UP TRUCKS BUT NOT THE ENVOY!!!! DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET KILLED IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED? *TR

HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, VOLTMETER GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR MELTED, DUE TO OVERHEATING.

AROUND AUGUST 2012, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER OF THE SUV BEGAN TO INDICATE INCORRECT READINGS. THE SPEEDOMETER GOES WEEKS WORKING FINE, THEN WILL READ THE INCORRECT SPEED FOR MONTHS. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE JUST "HANGS." THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE DASH CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED AT A COST OF AT LEAST $600, POSSIBLY MORE. THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER WAS NOT CHANGED. IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER 2004 GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER. *TR

LOCK COMPLETELY OUT OF BACK HATCH WIRE ACTS AS IF IT HAS A SHORT WHICH SHUTS THE WHOLE BACK DOWN I AM UNABLE TO USE MY REAR WIPER AT ALL INTERFERE WITH MY STEROE SHUTTING OF WHEN U TURN OFF ENVOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LOCKED COMPLETELY OUT OF THE REAR BOTTOM AND THE GLASS HATCH I DO NOT USE MY HATCH NOW BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE LOCKED OUT AGAIN IT HAS HAPPEN TWICE AND THIS NOT UNDER WARRANTY HAVE SEEN OTHE COMPLAINTS ONLINE DUE TO SAME ISSUES HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS ENVOY FOR 4 MONTHS AND TO BE HONEST I THINK IT MESSES WITH THE AIR I HAVE DUEL AIR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE GETS COLDER QUICKER THAN THE DRIVER AND NEVER SEEMED TO DO THIS UNTILL THE WIRES G STARTED MESSING UP IN THE REAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY 4.2 THAT HAS BEEN SMELLING OF GAS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. MY SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON. THERE IS A CRACK IN MY FUEL TANK AND GAS LITERALLY LEAKS OUT OF THE TANK AND RUNS ONTO THE GROUND, IF I FILL MY TANK UP ALL THE WAY. ORIGINALLY, THE RECALL DIDN'T INCLUDE 2004'S, BUT NOW IT SAYS: "THE EXPANDED POLICY COVERS MY 2002-2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT, GMC ENVOY XL, AND GMC ENVOY XUV VEHICLES". HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING THIS FUEL TANK REPLACED FOR FREE UNDER THE RECALL? I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL, AND WHEN I PUT MY VIN# IN THE SEARCH, IT SAYS THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS, BUT MY VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY FALLS INTO THE EXPANDED RECALL POLICY. MY VEHICLE INFO: VIN: [XXX] YEAR: 2004 MAKE: GMC MODEL: ENVOY XL 370 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE07014NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER : N/A INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LAST EVENING OUR FAMILY LOADED INTO THE ENVOY AND MY SON OPENED THE HATCH HALFWAY AND REALIZED HE FORGOT SOMETHING AND RAN TO GET IT. THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING YET. WE HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" AND GLASS SHATTERING AND HOPPED OUT. THERE WAS GLASS ALL OVER OUR DRIVEWAY AND EVEN PIECES UP TO SEVERAL YARDS AWAY. THE GLASS ON THE HATCH HAD EXPLODED. IT WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND WE WERE SO RELIEVED THAT MY SON HAD NOT BEEN STANDING RIGHT THERE AND THAT THE HATCH WAS PARTIALLY OPEN SO THE GLASS DIDN'T BLOW TOWARD MY REAR FACING INFANT, TODDLER AND 8 YEAR OLD SON ALREADY LOADED IN THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT MY CHILDREN DID LATER CUT THEMSELVES ON SHARDS OF GLASS THAT MADE IT OVER TO THE YARD. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS INCREDIBLY UPSETTING. EVEN OUR NEIGHBOR CAME TO HELP. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. OUR INSURANCE COVERS THE COST AFTER OUR $500 DEDUCTIBLE, HOWEVER, WE ARE AFRAID THE WINDOW WILL BLAST OUT AGAIN AND AFRAID ESPECIALLY FOR OUR REAR FACING INFANT AND SONS RIDING IN THE VERY BACK. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. *JS

FUEL GAUGE VARIES WILDLY FROM EMPTY TO FULL . BAD PLACE TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON I, 95 IN THE FAST LANE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED AS DTC CODE P0442 (EVAP LEAK). SMOKE TEST REVEALED CRACK IN FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY WHERE FILLER NECK HOSE MEETS THE FUEL TANK. *TR GMC ISSUED A BULLETIN NO.: 05-06-04-014A ON MARCH 21, 2005 REGARDING THE ABOVE REFERENCED DTC CODE AND ITS POSSIBLE CONNECTION TO A FRACTURE IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR OTHER REMEDY FOR THIS DEFECT. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO FUEL TANK FRACTURE. IN ADDITION, VEHICLE CANNOT BE REGISTERED BECAUSE IT CANNOT PASS SMOG TEST WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. COST FOR REPAIR IS $1,300-$1,500.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD AUTO PARTS STORE CHECK IT AND SAID COULD BE THE FUEL CAP. PUT NEW FUEL CAP ON AND AFTER A WHILE THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE BUT SAW NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF FOR A WHILE THEN BACK ON. I BOUGHT A SECOND FUEL CAP. HAD SAME RESULTS. NOW AFTER AN INTERNET SEARCH I FIND OUT THE FUEL TANKS CAN LEAK AROUND THE FILLER SPOUT ON THE TANK. I LOOKED AT MINE AND IT WAS SEEPING. BUT GM. WEBSITE SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

DASHBOARD AND GAUGES KEPT MALFUNCTION SPEED ODOMETER READING INCORRECT HAD TO REPLACE ALSO REAR DOOR BURNED OUT VERY COSTS VERY HIGH.

I HAVE OWNED A GMC ALL MY ADULT LIFE. THIS ENVOY HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS ....NOW THE GAUGES SEEM TO BE ALL SCREWED UP AND AFTER READING POST FROM ONLINE..I WILL NEED TO PUT MORE TIME AND MORE MONEY INTO THIS SUV. NOTHING LIKE DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT WORRIED ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW. I GO FROM SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR LOSING PRESSURE AND TURNING OFF, TO NOW EVERY TIME I GET INTO IT AND LEAVE MY HOUSE I HEAR THE DOOR BELL AND ALL MY PANELS SYMBOLS FLASH AND SHOWS NO GAS TO NO BATTERY LIFE.. I AM NOT PLEASED AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE A GM AGAIN..SO SAD. *TR

ONE DAY MY SUNROOF WORKED AND THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT. IT WAS STUCK IN THE IN THE OPEN POSITION (NOT FULLY OPEN, BUT WHEN THE FRONT END RAISES AN INCH OR SO). I TOOK IT TO A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A WHOLE NEW ASSEMBLY AND QUOTED ME $2,100. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS DEFECT AT ALL. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS ONLY WORTH $5,000 AND I PAID OVER $14,000 FOR IT IN 2009 WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM A GM DEALERSHIP. I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE $2,100 ON THIS VEHICLE. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE THAT I HAVE HAD. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THEY FIXED THAT. THEN A YEAR LATER, WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY NEW BORN, THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION GOING 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER AND THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT, BUT IT WOULD COVER A RESTORATION OF THE COMPUTER. THEN WHEN I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE THE REFUSED TO LET ME TAKE IT UNTIL I PAID $200. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING SINCE THAT AND CAN BARELY MAINTAIN IDLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT TIMES. NOW BACK TO THE SUNROOF, AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX IT THE MECHANIC TOOK OUT THE SUNROOF AND JUST SET IT IN THE FRAME SO AT LEAST WATER WOULD NOT GET IN WHEN IT RAINED. HOWEVER, IT IS JUST SITTING IN THERE AND CAN EASILY BE LIFTED OUT AND MAY EVEN GET BLOWN OUT ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN EXACTLY WILL THIS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD? WHEN MY SUNROOF BLOWS OFF ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSES A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT? OR WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN ON THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND MY CHILDREN AND I GET KILLED IN A PILE UP? GM HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF NEGLECTING TO RECALL VEHICLES WITH SAFETY ISSUES RECENTLY. CLEARLY, GM REFUSES TO PROTECT ITS CUSTOMERS. PLEASE HELP PROTECT CONSUMERS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

ENGINE STALLS WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND THE AIR CONDITIONER OR WIDOW DEFOGGER IS ON . I HAVE ALSO HAD POWER SURGING. I HAD TO REPLACE THE MAP SENSOR TWICE AND THE BRACKET AND IT IS STILL SHOWING BAD. I ALSO REPLACE THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE THERMOSTAT. ALSO THE WIPER ON THE REAR WILL NOT SPRAY ANY WATER OR WASHER. *TR

WHEN VEHICLE PARKS AIR BAGS GO DOWN DON'T COME BACK UP VERY BUMPY DANGEROUS RIDE AWFUL HANDLING COMPRESSOR SOMETIMES WON'T BE STRONG ENOUGH AND SOMETIMES WON'T WORK AT ALL AIRBAGS WON'T INFLATE EVEN WITH EXTERNAL AIR INDUCED ALONG WITH COMPRESSOR FULL BLAST. *TR

THE IGNITION BEGAN TO STICK -- COULD NOT TURN THE KEY ALL OF THE WAY TO THE OFF POSITION. HAD TO JIGGLE IT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE YOU COULD TURN IT SO YOU COULD TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. AT THE SAME TIME, YOU COULD NOT TAKE THE CAR OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. THE SHIFTER WOULD STICK. NONE OF THESE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING. ONLY WHEN PARKED. ALSO, BEGINNING JAN. 1, 2014, THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS WENT OUT IN THE CAR. SEARS SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WIRING IN THE BACK. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING...EITHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY

THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE IN MY 2004 ENVOY DO NOT WORK. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HERE THE SPEEDOMETER IN MINE SOMETIMES READS OVER 100 MPH WHEN I MIGHT BE DOING 35MPH. MOST OF THE TIME IT JUST STAYS AT 0 SO I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING. THE GAS GAUGE JUST DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR AND FROM ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN GM SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE ANYWAY. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN BEFORE THE NTSB WILL GET BEHIND THE CAR OWNERS? ONE PERSON HERE SAID THAT GM ACTUALLY WON A LAWSUIT AND WAS COMPENSATED FOR THE FAULTY PARTS BUT DID NOT DO THE RECALL ON THE ENVOYS! *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DOING 40 MPH WHEN I LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK MY SPEED AND THE SPEEDOMETER STATED THAT I WAS GOING 70 MPH AND IT WAS GOING HIGHER. I BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO ANY LESS THAN 70 MPH, EVEN WHEN I PARKED MY CAR AT MY JOB IT WAS STILL READING 70 MPH. *TR

THE BACK WINDOW ON MY GMC ENVOY 2004 EXPLODED WHEN MY SON WAS CLOSING IT. THANK GOODNESS THE GLASS PIECES HIT AND CUT HIS FOREHEAD AND HAND AND NOT HIS EYES! *TR

ONE DAY ALL MY GAUGES MAY WORK I MIGHT SHUT THE SUV OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND NO GAUGES WILL WORK (SPEED,OIL PRESSURE,BATTERY,GAS,ODOMETER,TACH) WHEN ONE WORKS THEY ALL WORK WHEN ONE DOESN'T WORK NONE OF THEM WORK AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY DO. *TR
