2004 GMC Envoy Complaint Log

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE TENDS TO LUNGE FORWARD EVEN AFTER BRAKES ARE STEPPED ON OR AFTER PARKED AT A RED LIGHT, IN THE FIRST CASE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE SPEEDOMETER FREEZES AND HANGS, DURING THIS OCCURRENCE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT SPEED LIMIT WE ARE GOING WHICH IS SCARY AND A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR, TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM AND BRING SPEEDOMETER DOWN TO ZERO MPH, THE CAR WOULD NEED TO BE TURNED ON AND OFF NUMEROUS TIMES TO SET BACK TO ZERO

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS A MALFUNCTION THAT WILL MAKE THE SPEEDOMETER READ VERY ERRATIC, AT A STEADY SPEED THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE 120 MPH AND ON OTHER DAYS IT WILL STAY A ZERO. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS FREQUENTLY, NOT EVERYDAY BUT I WOULD SAY ATLEAST ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS. I BELIEVE THERE COULD BE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES., YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING, ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE NO CARS TRAVELING THE SAME DIRECTION AS YOU. I WILL ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THIS ITEM MYSELF SINCE THE DEALER SAYS IT CAN COST $300-$700 TO FIX. *TR

DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED AND NOTICED SPEEDOMETER WAS READING INCORRECTLY--MUCH HIGHER THAN ACTUAL. VEHICLE DRIVEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, WITH CONTINUED INCORRECT SPEED RATING. ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AT 68,000 MILES WITH NO PREVIOUS REPAIR NOTED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A GATE, WENT AIRBORNE, DROPPED APPROXIMATELY 35 FEET DOWN AN EMBANKMENT, STRUCK SOME TREES, BOULDERS, AND LANDED IN A SWAMP. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE LIFTED FROM THE EMBANKMENT WITH A CRANE AND WAS TOWED AWAY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 51,000.

I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE ENTIRE PANEL WOULD GO OUT AND ALL THE GAUGES BOTTOMED OUT. I COULD NOT TELL MY SPEED, GAS LEVEL, RPMS, ETC. THE PANEL WOULD STAY OUT FOR A FEW DAYS THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. ALSO ON OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STICK AT 60 MPH AND ONLY CORRECT ITSELF IF I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON. FINALLY, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT AND HAS NEVER COME BACK ON. I HAVE DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND AM AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO JUDGE MY FUEL LEVEL. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS IN AN AREA WITH EASY ACCESS TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. (I CAN'T BE SURE OF THIS, HOWEVER, SINCE THE ODOMETER IS A PART OF THE PANEL THAT IS OUT.) THIS IS A SERIOUS AND, ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, RECURRING PROBLEM THE GMC SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT AND PAY FOR. *TR

THE TRUCK'S DIM LIGHTS ALL OF THE SUDDEN STOP WORKING. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS COME ON, BUT THE DIM LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. THE BULBS WERE CHECKED, AND THE DIMMER SWITCH. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 MECHANICS, AND NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS. I CAN'T GET MY TAGS RENEWED BECAUSE THE DIM LIGHTS DON'T WORK AT ALL. I'VE CALLED GMC TO SEE OF ANY RECALLS, AND THEY STATED ONLY REAR TAIL LIGHTS. I DEFINITELY THINK ITS A MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT, AND WOULD LIKE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING PROPERLY ON FRIDAY, JULY 11. BY MONDAY MORNING, IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER FAN STOPPED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. *TR

THE CLUSTER GAUGE QUIT WORKING. FIRST THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED READING THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. SECOND, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER QUIT READING. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. CURRENTLY OUT OF THE ENTIRE CLUSTER GAUGE SYSTEM THE BATTERY METER IS THE ONLY GAUGE THAT WORKS. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS NOT WORKING. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK AND DOES NOT FUNCTION AT TIMES. ALTHOUGH NO HARM HAS BEEN CAUSED, IT IS A CONCERN THAT I'VE SEEN MANY OTHERS FILE COMPLAINTS ON. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING HEADLIGHTS WILL PERIODICALLY DIM AND BRIGHTEN WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BOOM AND A GRINDING NOISE. SHE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HER MECHANIC AND THEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DIFFERENTIAL CASING WAS CRACKED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 71,838.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER SPORADICALLY FAILED AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND IS AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 26,500.

WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AT 33,000 MILES AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THE CHECKED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT, AT 50K WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH LOST THE POWER TRAIN. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION AND THREE WEEKS THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO FIX FOR 500 VICE 3300 WHICH THEY WANTED. A WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN AND NOW WE LOST POWER STEERING AND THE GAS NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WIESNER GMC IN CONROE TX AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED ANY CALLS. I AM NOW TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC TO TRIED TO GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATES ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 75,000. UPDATED 06/03/09 *BF UPDATED 06/04/09.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SECOND ROW SEATS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE ROOM FOR A CHILD SEAT. THE SEATS ARE IN A RECLINED POSITION, THEREFORE, WHEN THE BASE AND CHILD SEAT ARE POSITIONED IN THE MIDDLE ROW, THEY DO NOT APPEAR LEVELED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,128.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHLIGHTS FLICKER FROM BRIGHT TO DIM WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN BRAKING. IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL AS MYSELF DISTRACTED BY THE CONSTANT FLICKERING, BUT RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND AN OVERALL LACK OF CONCERN FROM GMC. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER AND INSTRUMENT DISPLAY CONSOLE WENT BAD ON IT YESTERDAY (01/28/08) RANDOMLY. GMC ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL WITH OTHER GMC SUV'S, BUT NOT THE ENVOY'S. SERVICE SHOPS ALSO ADMIT THE ENVOY'S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GMC WILL NOT INCLUDE THE ENVOY AS PART OF THE RECALL. NOW, I AM BEING ASKED TO PAY FOR COSTLY REPAIR. *CN

I STARTED MY 2004 GMC ENVOY AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN I STARTED IT, IT WENT TO 60 WITHOUT EVEN MOVING. SOMETIMES IT STAYS AT A SPEED NO MATER HOW FAST OR SLOW I GO. IF I AM ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, IT SAYS I AM GOING 100. ALSO THE CLOCK JUST CHANGED BY IT SELF. IT WENT THREE HOURS BEHIND. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED ANYTHING YET. I WOULD LIKE GMC TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AT NO COST BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS A GM RECALL FOR SPEEDOMETERS NOT THAT LONG AGO. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS STICKING OR NOT MOVING AT ALL. THIS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS INOPERATIVE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, AND FUEL GAUGE. VEHICLE HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WAS ON 80MPS EVERYTIME I STARTED THE CAR, I WOULD TURN THE MOTOR OFF SEVER TIMES TO BRING IT DOWN ABOUT 5MPS, UNTIL THAT QUITE WORKING COMPLETELY. MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HERS AT THE SAME TIME I DID. WELL, I WENT TO GET MY FIXED THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER A WARRENTY AND THE COST WAS HIGH AT THE TIME SO I HAD TO BARROW A GPS SYSTEM TO USE TO CLOCK MY SPEED. THEN THE GAS GAUGE WENT OUT. WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MY GAS LIGHT CAME ON TO LET ME KNOW WHEN I WAS RUNNING LOWAND WHEN I WOULD PUT GAS IN MY CAR, I WOULD HAVE TO TRY AND START IT 3-4 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD START. MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP TODAY, AND AFTER ALOT OF RESEARCH I NOTICE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND GMC DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THEIR ERROR.

TROUBLE WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL 1. TACHOMETER NOT WORKING FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. 2. FUEL GAGE NOT WORKING RIGHT FOR OVER 1 YEAR. 3. OIL PRESSURE GAGE WENT OUT NOT WORKING AT ALL 3 WEEKS AGO. ( BIGGEST DANGER ) 4. SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AS OF JANUARY 4, 2008 NOT WORKING AT ALL FOR ONE DAY. IT IS NOW WORKING BUT SHOWING WRONG SPEEDS. COULD HAVE ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF WRONG READING. I HAVE FOUND OUT THE GMC HAS SOME RECALLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANELS. AS OF TODAY 01/06/2008 NO RECALLS FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS. 2003-2008 GMC ENVOY THIS IS A INFERIOR INSTRUMENT PANEL AND A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SHOULD BE ON RECALL. HOPE YOU CAN HELP. NUMBER OF FAILURES 4. THANK YOU THOMAS F. THOMPSON P.S. UNDER SELECT COMPLAINT TYPES. YOU HAVE 4 LISTED TO CHOSE FROM. I AM USING ( VEHICLE ) MY 1ST PROBLEM STARTED AT 38,000 MILES AND MY LAST AT 54,000 MILES. SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING RIGHT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC; SHOWING WRONG SPEED ALMOST ALL THE TIME. 1000S OF REPORTS OF THIS ON INTERNET IN GM AND CHEVROLET SUVS OF THE SAME TYPE. I HAVE 2004 ENVOY XL AND THIS COST ME AROUND $600. THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS SAME PART IS USED ON MANY OF THE GM AND CHEVROLET VEHICLES AS THERE ARE EVEN OUTSIDE BUSINESSES WHO NOW FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY CASES IN GMS. PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE IN THE VEHICLE SPEED SECTION BUT SOME ARE INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR SOME MODELS BUT NOT MY MODEL. IF IT IS TRULY THE SAME PART THEN WHY ISN'T MY MODEL INCLUDED? *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING BACK AND FORTH, THEN EVENTUALLY WOULD STICK AT A NUMBER. IT WOULD SEEM TO WORK AT ONE POINT AND THEN GO BACK AND FORTH AGAIN. GOING THROUGH TOWN, IT SHOWS 120 MPH AT MOST TIMES. WENT TO GM DEALER, PUT NEW SENSOR ON IT, DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. NOW HAVE ORDERED A NEW CLUSTER. NOT SURE IF ANY OF THE OTHER GAUGES WORK CORRECTLY. THIS IS GOING TO COST OVER $450.00 AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, HUNDREDS OF THIS YEAR ENVOY HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. OUR PART WAS BACKORDERED, SO THAT MEANS THERE IS A HIGH VOLUME REQUESTING THIS SAME PART. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO!!! *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XUV FAULTY SPEEDOMETER, THE SPEEDOMETER READS FALSE READING, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY DOING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS 55 AND I WAS PULLED OVER FOR DOING 72 MILES IN A 55 ZONE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS STUCK ABOVE 120 MPH. IT NEVER SHOWS THE CORRECT SPEED THE VEHICLE IS GOING. *TR

SPEEDOMETER READS ERRATICALLY. *TR

ON 11/01/07 I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER ACTING ERRATIC; IT WOULD STAY ON 10 TO 20 MPH. WHEN I KNEW I WAS GOING FASTER. AT OTHER TIMES IT WOULD CREEP UP TO 75 OR 80 MPH. AND NOT GO DOWN WHEN I SLOW DOWN. OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD WORK FINE. THIS WENT ON ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT CORRECT ITSELF. IT FINALLY STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER COMING TO REST ABOVE 120 MPH. ON 12/07/07 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE INTERMENT PANEL AT A COST OF AROUND $470.00. THEY ALSO SAID IF I DIDN'T HAVE OVER 60,000 MILES ON MY CAR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I HAD 62,492 MILES ON THE DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. *TR

BOUGHT "CERTIFIED USED" ENVOY IN OCTOBER OF 07. TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED AT 57K MILES 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF EVERY COUPLE DAYS(HAVE VIDEO, BUT SANDY SANSING OF PENSACOLA FLORIDA SAYS THERE NOTHING WRONG) VEHICLE JERKS AT STOPS AND STARTS. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP W/ "NOTHING WRONG" THEY FINALLY DECIDED THAT A O2 SENSOR WAS BAD AT 71K. ENVOY HAD BEEN BACK IN THE SHOP AT A COST OF 80.00 BUCKS TWICE SINCE THEN BECAUSE OF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AND THE BRAKES ARE FAILING, THE "ABS BRAKE" LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON SO THEY SAY IT CANT BE THE BRAKES. WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND A SECOND LATER THEY WILL CATCH AND BEGIN TO STOP VEHICLE, AS IF THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS OBSTRUCTED AND SKIPS A FEW TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR THOSE FEW SECONDS BUT DOESN'T STAY ON LONG AND THEY SAY IT ISN'T THROWING ANY CODES. PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY SO THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID ITS A UNFOUNDED PROBLEM. THE THERMOSTATS ASSEMBLY WITH OTHER PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND DATES THAT I'VE TAKEN THIS POS INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC VEHICLE. I HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD PICKUP TRUCK ALSO AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE SHOP ONCE. THERE'S NO EXCUSE THAT WE ARE DRIVING THESE (EXPENSIVE) UNSAFE VEHICLES!! *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 04 GMC ENVOY WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. NOW ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. SOMETIMES IT WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK IT READS TO HIGH OR TWO LOW. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 AND IT WILL DROP BELOW 0. OR I CAN BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT SHOWS 40. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE WEB SHOWS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL GM AND GMC SHOULD HAVE TO DO A RECALL ON THIS AS IT COULD BE A LIFE AND SAFETY ITEM. FOR EXAMPLE ONE COULD SLOW TO THE RECOMMEND SPEED FOR A CURVE OR A TURN. IF THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING TWO LOW THEN THE PERSON WOULD BE TRAVELING TWO FAST FOR THE TURN. I SEE ALSO WHERE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT IS IN THE WORKS ON THIS. *TR

ON-GOING ISSUES WITH MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SINCE PURCHASE. LEAVE HOME, TRAVEL TO DESTINATION, USUALLY A SHORT DISTANCE, WHEN TRYING TO RESTART VEHICLE ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON, RADIO WORKS, WINDOWS WORK, ETC., TURN THE KEY TO START AND NOTHING HAPPENS, NO ATTEMPT AT STARTING WHAT-SO-EVER. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WITH TEMPERATURE, TIME OF DAY, RAIN/SHINE, ETC. OFTEN IF YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE TO SIT FOR AN HOUR, IT WILL RESTART, SOMETIMES SOONER, SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN WE HAD 308 KM ON THE VEHICLE, NOW WE HAVE 68,000 KM AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE IGNITION SWITCH NUMEROUS TIMES, REPROGRAMMED THE SETTINGS FOR INTERNATIONAL VS DOMESTIC IN REGARDS TO THE APPARENT SECURITY SYSTEM THAT I HAVE, WHICH WE DISCOVERED HAS NEVER WORKED EITHER. NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE ABS COMING ON WITH DRY PAVEMENT. WATER IN REAR BACKUP LIGHTS, THEY WERE DRAINED AND RE-SEALED. RUST ON ALL INTERIOR DOOR PANELS, BACK DOOR AND HOOD WHERE JOINTS MEET, REPAIRED. WATER ON THE FLOOR AT THE DOOR WHEN IT RAINS, FIXED SEAL AT DOOR. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCKED WHEN YOU LEFT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT LOCKING IT MYSELF, REPROGRAMMED. INTERIOR DOOR TRIM/SEAL REPEATEDLY FALLS OFF FROM BACK RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR. 10 MONTHS LEFT ON OUR LEASE....CAN'T WAIT TO FIND A NEW VEHICLE. COMPLETELY NOT SATISFIED WITH THE VEHICLE OR BY THE SERVICE WE HAVE RECEIVED.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL SOMETIMES SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING A CERTAIN MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. EXAMPLE: VEHICLE IS IN PARK. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 34 MPH. WHEN DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER BASES IT'S SPEED OFF OF 34 MPH BEING AT 0 AND ACTUAL SPEED IS 34MPH HIGHER THAN WHAT I AM ACTUALLY GOING. ALSO, VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WILL SOMETIMES GET STUCK PAST 120MPH BECAUSE OF THE NEEDLE BEING AT A CERTAIN SPEED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN MOVING. *TR

RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING. ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. PURCHASED IN JUNE/2006, WITH 40,000MILES. 1YR AFTER THE RPM GAUGE QUIT WORKING, RIGHT AFTERWARDS,THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED MESSING UP, GOING BACK & FORTH,THEN WENT OUT COMPLETELY, BATTERY/OIL GAUGES ARE OUT NOW. THE SEAT BELT LIGHTS/AIRBAG LIGHTS BING CONSTANTLY & DOES NOT TIGHTEN UP WHEN PUT ON BRAKES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT COMES ON, AND AT THE SAME TIME I HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING IT IN GEAR. I AM ALSO HAVING TROUBLE SETTING MY CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY UNSAFE HITCH. CONSUMER STATES THAT CLIP IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE HITCH PIN IN PLACE IS SO DESIGNED TO FIT OVER THE PIN TO HOLD IT IN PLACE, IS NOT SAFELY DESIGN. CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED A SAFER DESIGN FOR THE PIN AND CLIP WOULD BE TO HAVE A HOLE DRILLED INTO THE PIN WHEREBY THE CLIP COULD BE INSERTED INTO THE HOLE THEREBY ALLEVIATING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CLIP BEING JARRED LOOSE FROM THE PIN. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE TRAILER SLIGHTLY WENT AIRBORNE, FLIPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND THE TONGUE OF THE TRAILER STARTED HITTING THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SOON DISCOVERED THE SAFETY CHAINS HAD COME LOOSE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE HITCH DENIED THE CONSUMERS CLAIM. THEY STATED THAT THEIR PRODUCT WAS SAFE AND THERE WAS NO STRESS ON THE CLIP. *JB

MY HEADLIGHTS GOES OUT WHILE IM DRIVING AND I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT GMC RECALLS THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE HEAD LIGHTS SHINING IN THE WRONG DIRECTIONS BUT MINE CUTS OFF SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/HIGHWAY TO WAIT FOR THEM TO COME ON AGAIN I HAVE RUN OFF THE ROAD ONCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. SHE PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. AN INVESTIGATOR FROM HER INSURANCE COMPANY CONCLUDED THAT THE FIRE DERIVED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 47,970. UPDATED 07/15/08 *BF UPDATED 07/15/08

WHEN KEY WAS TURNED IN IGNITION ALL LIGHTS WOULD WORK ,BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. SPEEDOMETER WOULD JUMP TO 70 MPH ,AND TACHOMETER WOULD JUMP TO APPROXIMATELY 2000 RPMS EVEN THOUGH ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM TO BE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE AT POSITION IGNITION ONE.*AK

I OWN A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH APPROXIMATELY 85,000 "HIGHWAY" MILES. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO AN I HAD IT ANALYZED AT A LARGE AUTO REPAIR CHAIN. IT INDICATED A VACUUM LEAK. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TOP OF THE PVC GAS TANK WHERE THE INLET VALUE WAS MOUNTED TO THE TANK DURING MANUFACTURING WAS LIKELY THE SOURCE AS THERE WAS FUEL STAINS RUNNING DOWN THE TANK FROM THIS LOCATION! TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO THIS MATTER, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT ANOTHER GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE OF THE SAME TYPE HAD THE SAME, EXACT PROBLEM THE WEEK BEFORE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM ALONE. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND LONG STORY SHORT, THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TANK BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE GMC MECHANIC INDICATED THAT IF IT HAD 60,000 MILES OR FEWER, HE WOULD LIKELY HAVE REPLACED IT FOR ME. I ATTEMPTED TO EXPLAIN THAT A FUEL LEAK IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILIES SAFETY. TO EXPLODE OR BURN IN AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS NOT A MILEAGE FACTOR AND IT IS NOT A WEAR PART, IT WAS SIMPLY NOT PROPERLY SEALED WHEN IT WAS BEING MANUFACTURED. I FEEL THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD CHECK INTO THIS MATTER AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT LIKELY AFFECTS MANY ENVOYS AND TRAIL BLAZERS. I HOPE THAT THIS NOTICE WILL START A FULL INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL. A DEATH FROM THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS VERY POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SPEED ODOMETER AND TACH NOT ACCURATE. I HAVE HAD 2 SPEEDING TICKETS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. NOT SURE OF THE DATE IT FIRST HAPPENED BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE. GM DEALER IN MY AREA WAS RUDE TO MY WIFE AND SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT 0. THE OIL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING, PEGGED OUT AT THE MAX AND MY ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW CONSTANTLY ON. THESE EVENTS, PARTICULARLY THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING, IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. NOT DRIVING AT CONTROLLABLE SPEEDS CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND DEATH. THE PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS $550. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I'VE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC'S IN THIS YEAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THE CLUSTER UNIT ON 2004 GMC ENVOYS. GMC SHOULD TRY TO PREVENT DEATHS THAT THEIR PRODUCTS MAY CREATE. *TR

STARTING SHORTLY AFTER ENVOY WAS BOUGHT I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW QUARTER TANK ONE, THEN AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND STARTING AGAIN IT WAS OUT OF FUEL AND THE LIGHT WAS ON. IN JULY 2011 THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WENT HIGH AND IT IS NOW PEGGED AND DOESN'T RESET. I ASKED DEALER ABOUT IT AND THERE WAS AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE JUST TO DIAGNOSE. JAN 2012 AND NOW SPEEDOMETER GAUGE DOES NOT RESET, IT IS STUCK AT 30 MPH AND GOES UP TO 85-90 WHEN DRIVING. AFTER RESEARCHING TODAY I SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, I NEVER RECEIVED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LETTER FROM GM, BECAUSE ENVOY WASN'T INCLUDED, BUT IT IS THE SAME ISSUES AS OTHER VEHICLE ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. PLEASE HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE DEFECTS. *TR

RPM GAUGE SHOWS I AM AT 7000 RPM WHEN STOPPED AT IDLE. WHILE DRIVING THE GAUGE MOVES BACKWARDS, TO A NEGATIVE RAMP NUMBER, BELOW THE ZERO. WENT TO SHOP TODAY AND COULDN'T FIX IT. WILL GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP NEXT WEEK TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

2004 GMC ENVOY, HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED WHILE DRIVING. ONCOMING TRAFFIC THOUGHT I WAS FLASHING AT THEM, CAUSING THEM TO PULL OVER OR FLASH ME BACK, SAFETY HAZARD. TOOK CAR TWICE TO DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY FAILED TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. E FOUND ON ONLINE FORUMS WHERE MANY PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH NO ANSWERS. *AK

SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED IMPROPER SPEED WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, WOULD STICK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHEN STOPPED. HAS COMPLETELY STOP WORKING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THE MECHANIC AGREED WITH THE PREVIOUS FAILURE INCLUDING THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAS FILED A COMPLAINT## 71-492693494 WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT CAN PROVIDE PHOTOS IF NEEDED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THE VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED FOR A FEE.
