2004 GMC Envoy Complaint Log

THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE CODE IS INDICATING SOME TYPE OF VAPOR/EMISSIONS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY BOTH FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER AREA HAS A VAPOR AND LIQUID LEAK. THERE IS A TSB ISSUED BY GMC THAT COVERS THIS SITUATION BUT THEY WILL ONLY HONOR IT ON VEHICLES PRIOR TO 2004. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS AND HAD MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE NEW. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE AT 75000 MILES. NOW DOOR LOCKS INTERMITTENT. WON'T OPEN OR LOCK BY REMOTE. REAR WIPER GOES OUT WHEN DOOR LOCKS STOP. REAR DOOR LOCK OUT ALSO. CAN LOCK DOORS FROM INSIDE AND MANUALLY LOCK DRIVER DOOR BUT REAR HATCH WILL STAY UNLOCKED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT AT A MALL OR EVEN IN MY DRIVEWAY. SOMEONE COULD ENTER MY VEHICLE AND HURT SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY WHEN LOCKS ARE OUT. IN MY DRIVEWAY THEY COULD GET ACCESS TO MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER AND ENTER MY HOUSE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REMOVE MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER EVERYTIME I ENTER MY HOME. I THINK THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. I'M RETIRED AND CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR. I'VE SEEN THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT NO FIX FROM GM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INCLUDE THE FUEL AND THE SPEEDOMETER WERE NOT RESPONDING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND DETERMINED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,600. UPDATED 07/12/11 *BF UPDATED 3/22/12 *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED AN INCREASE IN SPEED OVER 125 MPH AND WHEN HE STOPPED THE VEHICLE THE GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY 50 OR 70 MPH. HE DOES NOT KNOW THE ACTUAL SPEED THAT HE WAS TRAVELING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127,400. UPDATED 07/08/11*LJ UPDATED 07/15/11

2004 GMC ENVOY. FAULTY GAS GAUGE. CAR HAS A FULL TANK BUT GAS GAUGE READS 1/4 TANK TO EMPTY. *TR

THE TEMP GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING IN THE CORRECT TEMP RANGE. THE TEMP NEEDLE IS EITHER IN THE OVERHEATING POSITION (RED AREA) OR TOTALLY PAST THE MAX TEMP ON THE GAUGE, ALMOST SPINNING LIKE A COMPASS. BECAUSE OF THIS FALSE READING I PULLED MY VEHICLE OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE, THINKING THE ENGINE NEEDED TO COOL DOWN. THIS WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GMC REFUSES TO REPLACE OR FIX THE GAUGE IF VEHICLE MILEAGE IS OVER 70,000. GAUGES , OIL,WATER TEMP, ETC, ARE IN VEHICLES TO ASSIST THE DRIVER WITH THEIR DRIVING AND FOR SAFETY REASONS AND SHOULD LAST A LOT MORE THAN 6 YEARS. PULLING OVER ON A HIGHWAY SHOULD ONLY BE DONE FOR AN EMERGENCY, NOT BECAUSE OF A FALSE READING, AND MAY IN THE FUTURE, IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ONE REAR DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT (THANK GOODNESS SHE WAS IN A SEATBELT, BUT MY PURCHASE WENT FLYING OUT AND SPILLED OUT ALL OVER THE ROAD). SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTICED BOTH REAR DOOR LATCHES RANDOMLY STICK CLOSED EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND BOTH LATCHES RANDOMLY FAIL TO LATCH CLOSED CAUSING DOOR TO REMAIN OPEN. AFTER THIS HAPPENS, I TRY NUMEROUS TIMES TO CLOSE THE DOOR ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT CATCH. AFTER PLAYING WITH THE LATCH, IT FINALLY WORKS. I AVOID OPENING THE REAR DOORS AT ALL IF I CAN. THE LATCHES DO APPEAR CORRODED AND RUSTY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2003 XL MODEL, BUT MY 2004 MODEL HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM! IT SEEMS OTHERS SHARE THE SAME COMPLAINT ACCORDING TO SOME INTERNET FORUMS. *TR

TAILGATE LATCHES ON 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV KEEP BREAKING REPEATEDLY. UNABLE TO OPEN REAR OF VEHICLE. PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEY STOP WORKING OVER AND OVER. IF MY KIDS GET IN THE BACK AND GET STUCK THERE IS NO WAY OUT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER BEGIN STICKING ABOVE ZERO WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF. GRADUALLY, THE SPEEDO STUCK HIGHER AND HIGHER, UNTIL IT REMAINED PEGGED AND CEASED TO FUNCTION. SOON AFTER, ALL INSTRUMENTS IN THE PANEL SUCCESSIVE FAILED - INCLUDING FUEL GAUGE, TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE, AND BATTERY LEVEL... IT APPEARS TO BE AT THIS POINT A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. MOST WORRISOME, THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ INCORRECTLY AT ALL TIMES, IF THEY READ AT ALL. *TR

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO READ THE INSTRUMENTATION BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLINKER SWITCH HOUSING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V198000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THESE GAUGES DO NOT REFLECT THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. I.E. I AM TRAVELING 25MPH AND THE GAUGE READS 100MPH. *TR

FAULTY SPEEDOMETER ON GMC ENVOY 2004 SLT. READS 0MPH WHILE IN USE OR 10 MPH BELOW ACTUAL SPEED COMPARED TO GPS. STOPPED WORKING DAY AFTER DEALERSHIP INSTALLED NEW BATTERY AND 60K MAINTENANCE. *TR

ON A COLD CLEVELAND OHIO DAY, I STARTED MY 2004 GMC ENVOY AND TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROST, AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER MY REAR WINDOW JUST EXPLODED! I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE SOUND WAS LIKE A GUNSHOT, AND IT NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, BUT I MANAGED TO PULL MY CAR OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER/INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILURE. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND NOW HAS FAILED. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD MULTIPLE LAW SUITS FILED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER IN DIFFERENT STATES. WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY IS MY VEHICLE (WHICH IS KNOWN BY GM TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM) NOT INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT (THE SETTLEMENT IN INCLUDED OTHER GMC, CHEVROLET AND CADILLAC VEHICLES)? IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWN TO ME BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE IT HAPPENED. ON THIS SITE ALONE THERE ARE MORE THAN 52 COMPLAINTS JUST FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS IT NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY SLT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE THE SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED. THE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED EVEN AFTER THE SEAT BECAME OCCUPIED AND THE FAILURE WOULD FIRST RECUR INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL THE FAILURE BECAME CONSTANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SAFETY INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SENSOR AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULAR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000. UPDATED 05/05/11*LJ UPDATED 06/03/11

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS DEFECTIVE. TACHOMETER SHOWS INCORRECT READINGS, GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK, LIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM, HALF OF THE RADIO LIGHTING IS OUT. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THIS COMPLAINT IS QUITE COMMON. IT SEEMS THAT EVENTUALLY I CAN EXPECT THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO FAIL! *TR

SPEEDOMETER WAS KINDA STICKING/JUMPY BUT NOW STAYING AROUND 85 TO 120. *TR

THE FRONT BRAKE SHOES ON AN 2004 ENVOY HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY YEAR SINCE 2007. WILL NOT WEAR EVENLY AND CAUSES THE FRONT END TO VIBRATE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY 6-CYL 2WD WITH ~172,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DUE TO EVAP LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. SMOKE CHECK AT THE MECHANICS RESULTED IN VISIBLE SMOKE EXITING THE FILLER NECK OF THE FUEL TANK (NOT THE FILLER NECK FROM THE GAS LINE). NEW FUEL TANK (DEALER PART ONLY!) IS ~$900 FROM DEALER TO DEALER. PLUS LABOR. *TR

FIRST MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED REGISTERING A SPEED FOLLOWED BY THE GAS GAUGE GOING OUT. MY RADIO GOES IN AND OUT (MORE OUT THAN IN), MY SUNROOF STARTED OPENING AND CLOSING ON ITS OWN WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF, AND THE ROOF LEAKS AROUND WHERE THE VISOR IS WHEN IT RAINS HARD. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS ADDRESSED BY SOMEONE AT GMC. *TR

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. GAGE SHOWS DRIVING 120 MPH WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY. GETS STUCK ON NUMBERS AND STAYS THERE FOR DAYS AT A TIME. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY. CUSTOMER REQUESTED FUEL SENDING UNIT TO BE REPLACED. UPON SPEAKING WITH OTHER ENVOY OWNERS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CORROSION AREAS, NAMELY NOVA SCOTIA. THE LEAK WAS FOUND AFTER OWNER SMELLED A CONSTANT GAS ODOR AROUND THE BACK DRIVER WHEEL WELL. WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS TAKEN DOWN FOR INSPECTION THE MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONTAINED THE FUEL PUMP, DEVELOPED CORROSION OF THE FUEL FEE/RETURN PIPES AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE ENTIRELY REPLACED ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2010. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 88,546KM. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY. CONSUMER REQUESTS REIMBURSEMENT FOR FUEL MODULE REPLACEMENT *TGW IN OCTOBER OF 2008, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT SOME 2004 MODEL YEAR GMC ENVOY VEHICLES OPERATED IN ONE OF THE CORROSION AREAS SUCH AS NEW YORK. THE FUEL TANK MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONTAINED THE FUEL PUMP, COULD DEVELOP CORROSION OF THE FUEL FEE/RETURN PIPES AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE KEPT THE LETTER IN CASE SHE HAD A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. ON AUGUST 10, 2010, SHE STARTED SMELLING A CONSTANT STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER FOR HER SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, THE MANAGER POINTED OUT THAT THE NOTICE STATED THAT GMC WOULD ONLY PROVIDE AN EXTENDED COVERAGE WITHIN 10 YEARS OF THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE OR UP TO 120,000 MILES. THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAD 124,979 MILES ON IT AT THE DATE OF SERVICE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED SEVERAL MANAGERS AT GMC TO SEE IF SHE WOULD QUALIFY FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE, BUT WAS DENIED ON EACH CALL. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED THE CONTACT NOTICED AN OVERPOWERING GASOLINE ODOR COMING FROM INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CPC AND MODULE KIT WHERE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000. UPDATED 11/19/10 *CN UPDATED 11/12/10

2004 ENVOY: REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS HAVE FAILED FREQUENTLY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT 6 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS. BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I SAW A RECALL ON NHTSA WEBSITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. TOOK CAR AND NHTSA PAPERWORK TO GM DEALER . DEALER SAID RECALL WAS FOR VEHICLES BEFORE AND AFTER MINE. THIS CONFLICTS WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER #04V527000. *TR

1. 2004 GMC ENVOY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONING ON AND OFF. 2. ONGOING SINCE OCTOBER 2008. ALL GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL SUDDENLY STOP/START FUNCTIONING FOR VARYING LENGTHS OF TIME. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE DRIVING SPEED, GAS FUEL LEVEL, AND BATTERY STATUS LEADING TO OBVIOUS AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. 3. OWNER CURRENTLY SEEKING FINANCIAL RELIEF FROM GMC AND US GOVERNMENT FOR RECALL TO HAVE FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED AT NO COST TO CONSUMER. *TR

I LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU RECEIVE ANY COMPLAINS OR SOMEBODY REPORT PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR GMC ENVOY (02TO05) LIKE LOOSING POWER NO ACCIDENT BUT CAN CAUSE SOME THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY GMC ENVOY STALLS OUT WHEN I STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I THEN HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH TEST METERS/EQUIPMENT HAVE BEEN USED TO FIND THE CAUSE FOR THE UNEXPLAINED STALL IS STILL UNKNOWN.THIS HAPPENS APX. ONCE EVERY (2) MONTHS. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS OUT THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" COMES ON AND LAST MONTH THE " REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND THE ENVOY WOULD ONLY MOVE AT 3 TO 4 MPH. *TR

SPEEDOMETER SAYS I AM GOING 70 - 110 WHEN I AM DRIVING 30 ISH AND SOMETIMES GOES TO ZERO. WHEN I AM STOPPED, IT WILL SHOW THAT I AM GOING SPEEDS (VARIOUS). MY LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD DIMS ONCE IN AWHILE. *TR

DEFECTIVE ENVOY SPEEDOMETER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY SLT. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND THE LOW FUEL GAUGE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL GAUGE READING FLUCTUATED FROM FULL CAPACITY LEVEL TO EMPTY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION THE IDENTICAL FAILURE OCCURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,800.

FAULTY DASH CLUSTER/SPEEDOMETER. WILL READ 120 MPH WHEN YOU ARE SITTING STILL. *TR

MY WIFE HAS A 2004 GMC ENVOY,ABOUT 6:00 MAR 03 2010 SHE CALLED ME FROM HER TRUCK, SAYING THE ODOMETER SAID SHE WAS DOING 95 MPH WHEN SHE WAS ONLY DOING ABOUT 55MPH AFTER I GOT HER TO CALM DOWN AND PULL OVER. SHE STOP THE TRUCK AND WAITED ON ME TO GET THERE. I NOTICE THE RPM'S WAS STUCK ON 6000 THE GAS WAS ON A 1/4 TANK AFTER SHE SAID SHE HAD PUT 40$ IN THE TANK 30MIN AGO PLUS THE CLOCK SAID 12:49 AND IT WAS LIKE 7:00 AFTER TALKING TO A FEW PEOPLE FOUND OUT THERE WAS WITH THE CLUSTER. WAS TALKING TO MY FATHER WHO HAS A 05 GMC TRUCK SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CLUSTERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND DISPLAYED ZERO. THE OIL GAUGE ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING BEYOND THE EIGHTY PRESSURE MARK AND STAYED IN THAT POSITION. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE CLUSTER PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASED INTERMITTENTLY BUT IT DID NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH MY SPEEDOMETER NOT SHOWING THE CORRECT SPEED FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IT HAS NOW REACHED A POINT TO WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ONE AND THE TACH ONLY WORKS ONCE IN A WHILE. I ACTUALLY KNOW THREE PEOPLE WITHIN THE MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE RANGING FROM A 2003 TO A 2005 THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR INSTRUMENT PANELS. OF COURSE, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE BUT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPLACE THE IP (ALMOST $700) TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THE ISSUE. I ALSO KNOW OF A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WEBSITES WHERE YOU CAN SEND THE PANEL OFF AND THEY WILL REPLACE ALL OF THE BULBS AND MOTORS FOR LESS $100. IT IS A SHAME THAT GM WOULD CHARGE OVER 7 TIMES THAT AMOUNT FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS THIS WIDE SPREAD. I HAVE DRIVEN GM MODEL CARS FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND THE ENGINES SEEM TO BE GOOD BUT THE INTERIOR ISSUES ARE AT A POINT THAT I AM TIRED OF DEALING WITH THEM. I GUESS THAT IT IS TIME TO LOOK TO TAKE ME BUSINESS TO A DIFFERENT CAR MANUFACTURER AND THAT IS A SHAME. *TR

DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL NEEDLE GAUGES BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE SPEEDOMETER INITIALLY REGISTERED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN ACTUAL SPEEDS (REGISTERED 110+ MPH WHEN TRAVELING AT ~65 MPH) AND THEN STUCK AT 15 MPH REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL SPEED OR WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE TACHOMETER ALSO BEGAN TO REGISTER HIGHER THAN ACTUAL RPM, SHOWING 6,000+ RPM EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLES ENGINE WAS RETURNED TO IDLE OR TURNED OFF. OTHER GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS INCLUDE THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WHICH WOULD ALSO INTERMITTENTLY REGISTER HIGHER THAN ACTUAL PRESSURE. WITHOUT EITHER A FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER OR TACHOMETER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAINTAIN A SAFE DRIVING SPEEDS. HAVE CONTACTED A LOCAL GMC DEALER REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT YET IDENTIFIED A REMEDY. *TR

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SLT CLUSTER GAUGE; SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAVE STOPPED WORKING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH IN SNOWY CONDITIONS, HE ATTEMPTED TO PASS A VEHICLE AND WHILE RETURNING BACK INTO THE LANE THE VEHICLE SLID AND HE CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER FRONT-END FIRST. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUFFER ANY INJURIES. THE POLICE ARRIVED SHORTLY AFTER AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 97,000.

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ACCURATELY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY. IS CURRENTLY OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO PASS EMISSIONS, HOPEFULLY IT WILL REMAIN OUT. HAD TO REPLACE MANY PARTS INCLUDING THE HEATER CORE, THERMOSTAT AND COOLANT. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE FAN OF THE CAR. *TR

NOTHING DESCRIPTIVE LED UP TO THE FAILURE. IT HAPPENED FOR NO REASON WE KNOW. THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT AND A NEW ONE STARTED TODAY. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR FIXED. I FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR ISSUES ON INTERNET FOR SAME MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE TODAY AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY WIFE THAT ANOTHER AREA OF SAME DEVICE HAS MALFUNCTIONED.

SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING INCONSISTENT AND THEN "FIXED" ITSELF THE LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2009. AT THAT TIME IT WOULD NOT DROP BELOW 20MPH. AFTER SEEMINGLY BEING OK, THE FIRST WEEK OF JAN. 2010, THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO 80MPH AND HUNG THERE AND PEGGED OUT AT 120MPH WHEN DRIVEN. I MADE APPT. WITH GMAC IN WINSTON SALEM, NC AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED @ $600+. PANEL HAS BEEN ORDERED AND TO BE INSTALLED END OF WEEK. NOW I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LETTER SENT OUT BY GMAC THAT I NEVER RECEIVED, TO REPLACE THIS CLUSTER IF LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN 73,000 MILES. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM??? *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ON MY GMC ENVOY 2004 IS DEFECTIVE AS IT IS ON A MULTITUDE OF OTHER GM MODELS BETWEEN 2003 AND 2005. ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK OR WILL REPORT A FAULTY READING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AND FOR SOME REASON GM HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS IPC PROBLEM FOR GMC ENVOYS OF THE YEAR 2004 EVEN THOUGH OTHER YEARS OF THIS MODEL AND OTHER MODELS OF GM VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE HELP GM DO THE RIGHT THING BY IT'S ENVOY OWNERS. WE HAVE CERTAINLY BAILED THEM OUT ENOUGH. THERE IS ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCE OF THIS ISSUE. IF ONE WERE TO BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 60MPH USING CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SPEEDOMETER WERE TO ALL OF A SUDDEN PEG ITSELF TO 20MPH, THERE WOULD BE A SUDDEN AND ABRUPT ACCELERATION AS THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN 60MPH EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY AT THAT SPEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS DANGEROUS SPEED CONTROL ISSUE. MATT DYE *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY SLE - FREQUENT RECURRING PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHT FAILURE. HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF WITHOUT NOTICE. CHECKED FUSES, CONNECTIONS AND WIRES. HAVE TAKEN TO LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP (BECKON MASTON) FOR REPAIR HOWEVER DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY OEM, PLEASE ADVISE. *TR
