MY GMC ENVOY WAS PARKED UNATTENDED IN MY DRIVEWAY DIRECTLY NEXT TO MY HOUSE. MY SONS AND I WERE IN THE BACKYARD PLAYING WHEN MY OLDEST SON WENT TO RETRIEVE HIS BALL FROM THE DRIVEWAY. HE CAME BACK SCREAMING MOM YOUR TRUCK IS ON FIRE.I IMMEDIATELY RAN OVER TO SEE THE TRUCK FULL OF FIRE AND SMOKE. I CALLED 911. THE TRUCK DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE BEFORE THE FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED. IT APPEARED TO COME FROM THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AREA. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I LEARNED A LOT OF GMC TRUCKS HAD RECALLS ON CERTAIN PARTS THAT COULD PUT THE VEHICLE AT RISK FOR A FOR SETTING IT'S SELF ON FIRE.I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON RECALLS FOR THE WINDOW SWITCH OR WAS AWARE OF THE NATIONAL RECALL UNTIL I LOOKED INTO IT THE EVENING OF THE FIRE.I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE WINDOW SWITCH IS WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. IT HAD TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT MADE BY THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY.

PASSENGER WINDOW WENT DOWN WITH VEHICLE OFF. SMOKE CAME FROM INSIDE THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR PANEL. WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARED, I DISASSEMBLED THE DOOR AND FOUND THE WINDOW SWITCH WITH A LARGE HOLE BURNED IN IT. PICS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

WAS PARK, WENT TO BACK UP AND FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. PS FLUID IS GOOD, BELT IS GOOD, PULLEY SEEMS FINE, NO LEAKS, BUT VERY HARD TO STEER. THIS 2004 GMC ENVOY HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE....NOT TO MENTION THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY EITHER. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XL. CONSUMER STATES RECENTLY BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND ULTIMATELY ALL BUT ONE ARE NO LONGER WORKING. ONLY THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WORKED.*JB

THE RPM (TAC) FAILED AND STARTED JUMPING ALL OVER. ON 09-14-14 THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO FAIL. DID NOT FIX THE RPM (TAC) AT THE TIME. THIS APPARENTLY IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE YEARS IN THE GMC PRODUCT. IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE - YES!!! ONE NOW CANNOT TELL ONES SPEED WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR A CITATION TO THE DRIVER BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. TO FIX THIS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL BE IN THE $600.00 RANGE. I BELIEVE GMC WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST YEARS AND IGNORED IT - CAUSING OWNERS AN UNDUE EXPENSE ON A VEHICLE THAT THEY PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD GMC VEHICLES FOR YEARS - UNLESS GMC STANDS UP AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY I WILL NOT CONSIDER ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. THE AIR CONDITIONAL LINE FAILED IN 2014 BECAUSE OF IT RUBBING ON THE FRAME CAUSING ME TO SHUT OFF THE REAR AIR CONDITIONER BECAUSE OF THE COST TO FIX IT. GM NOT ALLOWING AFTER MARKET PARTS FOR THIS FIX. *TR

NOT SURE WHEN AS IT HAS BEEN A WHILE. THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND I HAVE FILED THIS ONLINE A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT NEVER HEARD BACK AND I HAVE CONTACTED GMC SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF IT AS THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CALLS REGARDING IT AND IT IS ANYWHERE FROM 300.00 TO 600.00 TO FIX IT AND IT COULD TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS. TO ME THAT IS NOT OK. AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR MY VEHICLE IT SHOULD NOT DO THIS. IF GMC IS AWARE OF IT THEY SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED YOU GUYS AND A NOTICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT AS I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH PEOPLES ENVOYS AND THEY GET THE SAME UNCARING RESPONSE FROM GMC. TO ME THAT IS A PROBLEM,. *TR

LONG TERM PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT GREW MUCH WORSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 88K MILES ON IT. BACK IN 2010 THE TACHOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AT IDLE, IT WAS READING 5000-6000 RPM. KEPT WATCHING THE TACH OVER MONTHS AND IT WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE UNTIL THE NEEDLE FINALLY RESTED AT THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION. WASN'T A BIG DEAL. EARLY THIS YEAR (2013), OTHER GAUGES STARTED READING IMPROPERLY. ONE BY ONE THE OIL PRESSURE, SPEEDOMETER, AND FUEL GAUGE ALL WENT HAYWIRE, SHOWING READINGS OUTSIDE OF THEIR RANGE. THE ONLY TWO FUNCTIONAL GAUGES LEFT WERE VOLTAGE AND COOLANT TEMPERATURE WHEN I HAD THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED BACK IN MARCH THE CLUSTER IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE'S A THREAD AT EDMUNDS.COM WITH OVER 500 POSTS RELATED TO IT: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX?14@@.F17BA01/0 DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING ALL THE GAUGES CLOSELY, BUT I'D HATE TO SEE SOMEONE RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 10 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS 9 SEPERATE TIMES NOT INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHTS 5 TIMES. AFTER THE 3RD TIME THE MAN AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE STATED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GMC> THE LIGHTS GET TOO HOT AND BURN UP THE BULB AND THE CONNECTORS. I HAVE HAD 2 BUY NOW 4 RABBITS CONNECTORS AND THEY MAKE THE BULB LAST A LITTLE LONGER BUT THE EXSPENSE IS SAD. IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERENT FROM CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES WHY HAS NOT RECALL BEEM PLACED FOR THESE LIGHTS. IF IT IS HEATING HOT ENOUGH TO MELT A CONNECTOR THAT IS A FIRE HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER STOPED WORKING AND TO MY SURPRISE I WASS ADVISED THIS ALSO A COMMON GMC PROBLEM WITH THE CLUSTER REPAIR BEING REQUIRED TO FIX IT.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 ENVOY XL BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY ( GOING FROM 0 TO 120 ) A EARLIER 2011 AND CONTINUES. THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER PROPERLY EITHER. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHANGE MY SPEEDOMETER FIRST TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX BOTH PROBLEMS (OVER $600.00 IN COST) AND IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE A MODULE IN THE FUEL TANK (ANOTHER $600.00 IN COST). MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET INDICATES THIS IS A FAULTY PART AND NEEDS TO BE RECALL. I'VE READ DIFFERENT MAKES OF GMC AND MILEAGE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE CLUSTER INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHES ON AND OFF GUAGES ARE ALL INCORRECT FROM TIME TO TIME AND DO NOT WORK SOME TIMES. *TT

THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AROUND 40,000 MILES. CHECKED WITH DEALER AND FOUND OUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $700 TO FIX. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WORKS SPORATICALLY. EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS STOPPED ITS READING THAT I'M DOING 50 MILES PER HOUR. 2004 GMC ENVOY. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPAIRED BY A LOCAL REPAIR PERSON WHO'S BEEN MAKING A LIVING REPAIRING THESE GAUGES AND CLUSTERS FOR 10 YEARS NOW. MY GAUGES WOULD FLUCTUATE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MY FUEL GAUGE TELLS ME I HAVE 100+ MILES LEFT IN THE TANK AND THEN I RUN OUT OF GAS. EVEN WITH THE GAUGES REPAIRED, I STILL HAVE A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT OR SOMETHING THAT HAS MY "ESTIMATED MILEAGE TO EMPTY" ALL OVER THE BOARD. IT SHOWS ME AT 85 MILES TO EMPTY WHEN I PARK IT, BUT START IT BACK UP AND IT GOES TO 140, OR SOMETIMES TIPS ME OFF THAT IT'S ACTUALLY LOW ON FUEL. I'M FRUSTRATED, CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY STRAIGHT ANSWERS FROM ANYONE. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XL SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER INACCURATE READINGS. SPEEDOMETER READINGS SOME AS HIGH AS 115-120. HAVE NO IDEA THE ACTUAL SPEED AT WHICH I AM TRAVELING. TERRIFIED TO THINK OF USING CRUISE CONTROL WHEN TRAVELING INTERSTATES MANY TIMES EACH YEAR. HAVE REVIEWED ONLINE COMMENTS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. GM/GMC APPEARS TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BASED ON THE COMMENTS AND DEALER/SERVICE RESPONSES. STANDS TO REASON THAT A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL COULD AFFECT OTHER FUNCTIONS OF CAR. NOT KNOWING SPEED AT WHICH I AM TRAVELING IS DIRE SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT HAS NHTSA DONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH GM/GMC? *TR

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENVOY, BUT I AM WRITING ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. THE FAILURE OF THE PANEL CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER TO FAIL. THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS OVER 120 MPH REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, OR WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF OR ON. THE MECHANIC WHO INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE STATED THAT THERE WERE NUMEROUS DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS THAT HAD TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE HE COULD SUCCESSFULLY DIAGNOSE THE BAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE ENVOY, GMC WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND THE FAILED INSTRUMENT PANEL CAN RESULT IN ACCIDENTS.

2004 ENVOY, 81,300 MILES. FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING OR WHEN THEY DO IT IS VERY ERRATIC AND UNRELIABLE. ON A TRIP THROUGH MIN I NOTICED THE GAUGE SAID I WAS GOING 70 MPH IN 45 ZONE. THEN RAN OUT OF GAS ON ANOTHER TRIP NOT REALIZING THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ALSO NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. AT THIS POINT I USE MY GARMIN FOR DETERMINING SPEED. LOOKING TO GET IT FIXED BUT WAS ESTIMATED THE COST FOR NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL WOULD BE $600. *TR

IN DECEMBER 2009 MY 2004 ENVOY XL'S TACHOMETER WENT OFF LINE. IT STARTS AT ABOUT THE 3 O'CLOCK POSITION. THEN A MONTH LATER THE ODOMETER STUCK AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR EVEN THOUGH I WAS STOPPED OR OBVIOUSLY DOING OVER 40. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED IT CORRECTED ITSELF BUT WAS ERRATIC AND WOULD TICK ITS WAY UP TO ABOUT 40-50MPH THEN WOULD STOP GOING UP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MANY 2004 ENVOYS. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT AT A COST OF AROUND $500.00 THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHEN REDUCING SPEED TO ACCOMMODATE A CURVE THAT RECOMMENDS A REDUCED SPEED I CAN NOT TELL WHAT MY ACTUAL SPEED IS TO SAFELY MAKE THE CURVE. SPEED LIMITS ARE POSTED FOR SAFETY REASONS AND IF WE CANT TELL HOW FAST WE ARE GOING DO TO A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANELS IT PUTS PEOPLE IN DANGER. DEALERS AND GMC SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND HAVE NOT YET RECALLED THE VEHICLES TO CORRECT THE SAFETY PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION THAT $500.00 IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR MOST PEOPLE TO HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE FIXING. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE 2004 GMC ENVOY IS INOPERATIVE AND IS STUCK IN THE 120 MPH POSITION. FOR ABOUT ONE MONTH BEFORE, THE NEEDLE WAS VERY ERRATIC AND JUMPED AROUND, SOMETIMES FROM 10 MPH TO UP TO 30 MPH. DURING THE ERRATIC PHASE, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT NOTICE A PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY STEPS TO FIX IT NOW THAT IT IS STUCK AT 120 MPH BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THE COST. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XL SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER NO LONGER FUNCTION.... THIS HAPPEN ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AND IT CONTINUES TO THIS DAY... I AM READING ONLINE THAT THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN MY OPINION THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE.... I SHOULD BE TRAVELING 35 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR REGISTERS 75 MPH. ITS NEVER CORRECT AND THE TACH JUST STOPPED WORKING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING INTERSTATE 80 IN NEBRASKA DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2009, THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY GOT STUCK ON 70 MPH. I HAD NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS GOING AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WHILE NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I WAS GOING IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES AND THE ROADS WERE VERY SNOW AND ICE PACKED. SINCE DECEMBER, I HAVE PURCHASED A GPS WITH A SPEEDOMETER. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. THERE ARE TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL WORK, THEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT WILL GET STUCK. *TR

2004 GMAC ENVOY - THE SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC. WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN ROAD, IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO RECALL. I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW CLUSTER - $600 PLUS LABOR! INTERESTING THERE ARE 4 OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW THAT OWN GM SUVS AND THEY ARE ALL DOING IT AS WELL. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE CLUSTER AND THAT HAS FIXED BUT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY LITTLE CIRCLE. THERE IS A OVERALL PROBLEM WITH THE GM/GMAC CARS. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE FOR THE CONSUMER. *TR

IN THE SPRING OF 2009, WE BEGAN NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF OUR 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT CONSISTENT. THE GAS GAUGE BECAME UNRELIABLE. WE HAVE ALSO SEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE OIL GAUGE AND MOST RECENTLY THE READING FOR THE EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE. CURRENTLY, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE START OF THE PROBLEMS, AND THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND THE EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE READOUT ARE NEVER CORRECT. WE CONTACTED THE GMC DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND WERE TOLD THAT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAD BEEN LOGGED REGARDING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. I BELIEVE THE COST TO HAVE IT FIXED WAS GOING TO BE $400-$500. IF SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY WILL GMC NOT ISSUE A RECALL AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED? *TR

FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS; WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, PROBABLY A FAULTY SENSOR, NOT HARMFUL. SO, LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, USING CRUISE CONTROL AND ON THE INTERSTATE MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT AN EXIT I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 42 MPH BUT I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED SHOULD IT HAVE BEGUN TO WORK WHILE I WAS DOING 60+MPH WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL!!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! SO I CAME HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL AND LOW AND BEHOLD THIS IS AN ISSUE TO ALL GMC SUVS FROM 2002-2005! I AM DISGUSTED AT THE INFORMATION I FOUND THAT STATES GMC ISN'T WILLING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE RECALL/REPAIR WHEN THIS IS ALREADY A KNOWN ISSUE!! PLEASE ACT ON THIS WITH DUE DILIGENCE AND RECALL THIS FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE!!!! *TR

HI, I'M A OWNER OF A GMC ENVOY XL. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE GAUGES ALTOGETHER. 1ST IT WAS THE FUEL GAUGE AND THEN NOW ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ARE OUT. YOU CANT TELL HOW FAST YOUR GOING, IF YOUR VEHICLE IS OVERHEATING NOTHING! I HAVE DONE QUIET A BIT OF RESEARCH AND IT LOOKS AS IF THIS IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE. ITS NOT THAT ITS THE MOST COSTLY PART TO FIX BUT I DONT FEEL THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE IF UST ABOUT EVERYONE THAT OWNS THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE. ITS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON WHILE YOUR ON THE ROAD AS WELL THATS WHAT THE GAUGES ARE FOR. PLEASE HELP!!!!

SHORTLY AFTER THAT BEGAN, ALL GAUGES QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER EVERY OTHER TIME I WOULD START THE VEHICLE.

CALL THE DEALER AND REPLACEMENT IS OVER $400 TO REPLACE THE PART (ASSUMING THAT THIS IS THE FIX). EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, THIS IS A RATHER LARGE PROBLEM THAT HAS EFFECTED A LARGE QUANTITY OF GM OWNERS.

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BAD ON AND THE DEALER WANT $900.00 TO REPAIR. ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF GMC SUV'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I, AS WELL, HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH GM FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2004 ENVOY. THE CAR HAD 48K MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, BUT IT HAD 56K WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS REQUIRED THAT I HAVE THE PROBLEM OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED, WHICH COST ME $85. I WAS ASSURED THAT I WOULD GET THAT AMOUNT CREDITED TOWARD THE FIX. SCHEDULED TO GET YET ANOTHER UPDATE CALL FROM GM TOMORROW. SHORTLY AFTER I PAID OUT THE $85 AND SENT THEM MY INFORMATION, I RECEIVED BOTH AN EMAIL AND A PHONE CALL SAYING "SORRY, WE CAN'T OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE". I CALLED THEM RIGHT BACK TO ESCALATE IT FURTHER. I'M PUSHING IT AS FAR AS I CAN. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS WITH THE ENVOYS YET, ALTHOUGH SHE ADMITTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT, AND BECAUSE OF THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM, THE CASES WOULD BE HANDLED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AT THIS POINT. WHAT MORE PROOF DO WE NEED? *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING CORRECTLY, WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 120MPH AND I WAS IN TOWN IN A 35MPH ZONE. I HAD MY GPS DEVICE ON AND IT SHOWED THAT I WAS ACTUALLY GOING 35MPH. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT THE SPEEDOMETER STATED THAT I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 75 MPH, AND THAT WAS INCORRECT BECAUSE I WAS SITTING STILL AT THE LIGHT. ALSO, AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE IT STILL REGISTERED A RATE OF SPEED OF 75 MPH. THERE ARE SOME DAYS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT GOES CRAZY. ANOTHER EXAMPLE, IT SOMETIMES SHOWS THAT I AM GOING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 0 MPH AND I KNOW THAT I AM AT LEAST GOING 55 MPH. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. UPON CONTACTING THE GM SERVICE CENTER THEY STATED THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDING REPLACED, BUT IF THAT WOULD BE THE CASE THE OTHER GAUGES WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. SO FAR THE ONLY THING THAT IS MESSED UP IS THE SPEEDOMETER. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS THE SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $300.00 OR MORE AND THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH IN MY OPINION DOES NOT NEED REPLACED....ONLY THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDS REPLACED/REPAIRED. *TR

THIS IS FOR A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 64,984 MILES. NO EXTENDED WARRANTY SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE ALL THE WORK DONE. THE DAY I HAD IT CHECKED OUT THE SERVICE REP DID SAY THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH A CERTAIN YEAR AND IF WE HAD THE RIGHT YEAR AND VEHICLE AND IF IT WAS UNDER 70,000 MILES THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. WHEN WE CAME BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE WORK DONE HE SAID AFTER I ASKED HIM IT WAS FOR A SILVERADO NOT SURE IF HE SAID 2003 OR 2004 BUT NOT FOR OUR VEHICLE.....

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PERSON HELPING ME SAID THAT THEY GET ALOT OF REPAIR REQUESTS FOR THE SPEEDOMETERS GOING OUT ON THE GMC'S. SO I STATED IF THIS IS AN OFTEN OCCURRENCE IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL BEING THAT THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR ALOT. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT ON LINE TO PULL THE REVIEWS AND TO SEE WHAT OTHERS WERE TALKING ABOUT. THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT A I WAS NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN I WENT ONTO MY IPHONE APPLICATION TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD ASSIST ME BEING THAT I WAS GOING OUT OF TOWN I FOUND AN APPLICATION AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE POSTING A REVIEW WAS A GUY WHO WAS OUT OF TOWN AND HIS SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AND HE TOO WAS ABLE TO FIND THE SAME SPEEDOMETER THAT I HAD TO USE IN ORDER FOR HIM TO GET BACK TO WHERE HE WAS GOING. AS A CUSTOMER I FEEL THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING AT THE 35,000-45,000 MARK OF THESE VEHICLES THEN IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE GOOD ON THIS MALFUNCTION.

NEXT AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A MINUTE WE ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION AND ALL THE GAUGES WENT CRAZY, REGISTERING AS IF I WAS DRIVING. THEN AS IN THE ANOTHER COMPLAINT, UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ALL THE GAUGES STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AND ALL THE NEEDLE INDICATORS STARTED JUMPING AT RANDOM. THE NEXT TIME I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE VEHICLE DID THE VERY SAME THING AS MENTIONED ABOVE (GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY, ETC.). I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MORE TIME EACH TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. PRIOR TO THIS EXPERIENCE THE OIL GAUGE HAD STOP REGISTERING AND HAD MALFUNCTION ABOUT ONE YEAR EARLIER. AFTER MY FAVORITE MECHANIC CAME TO RESCUE ME HOT WIRED THE FUSE BOX TO ALLOW FOR ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. HE SAID THAT THE FUSES WERE NOT GETTING THE 12 VOLTS NEED TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I'M NOW WAITING ON THE DIAGNOSIS. *TR

I HAD TO HAVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED FOR A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER. *TR

WE WERE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY READ 120 MPH. WE WERE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOW STUCK AT THAT POSITION, 120 MPH. *TR

Mileage: 66,330

THE CLUSTER IN MY CAR HAS GONE OUT AND MY SPEEDOMETER IS NO LONGER WORKING UP ON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE ENVOY. THEY STATED THE AT LEAST RECEIVED 4 TO 5 VEHICLES A DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

OWN A 2004 ENVOY XL. SPEEDOMETER STUCK MAXED OUT AT 100+ MPH. HAD TO HAVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED. QUITE A SHOCK WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN AND THINK YOU ARE GOING 100. SHOULD BE PART OF RECALL. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OUR SPEEDOMETER WENT HAYWIRE AND THEN QUIT WORKING. I CALLED GMC AND THEY SAID OUR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED AND THAT OUR VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED AS A VEHICLE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. WE OWN A GMC 2004 ENVOY XL.*CN

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL MALFUNCTIONED. ITS READINGS ARE VERY ERRATIC AND DO NOT CORRESPOND AT ALL WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE, READINGS OF 10 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND 100 MPH WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE READINGS VARY ANYWHERE FROM O MPH TO PAST 120 MPH AND ARE COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. THE FIRST SIGN WAS THE SPEEDOMETER STICKING AT 10 MPH EVEN AS I ACCELERATED; IT THEN BEGAN THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR MENTIONED ABOVE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING TO ME SINCE THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AS I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM INDIANA TO SOUTH CAROLINA WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED YESTERDAY AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL SLT READS INCORRECTLY AT ALL TIMES. BEGAN AS READING HIGH OCCASIONALLY, NOW IT IS ENTIRELY UNRELIABLE. SOMETIMES HIGH, SOMETIMES LOW, SOMETIMES 140MPH IN THE DRIVEWAY. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER IN MY 2004 GMC ENVOY READ INACCURATELY. THE NEEDLES READ WAY OFF OF WHERE THEY SHOULD BE (IE. READING 45 MPH AT IDLE AND TACH AT 8,000 RPMS AT IDLE). *TR

SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC OFTEN 30 TO 80 MPH OFF AND WILL NOT RETURN TO 0 MPH WHEN STOPPED. CURRENTLY IT READS ABOVE 120 MPH AND WILL NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN. *TR

ENGINE, CHECK GADGES LIGHT APPEARS, SUV STALLS, RADIO LIGHTS AND STEERING LIGHTS KEEPS FAILING. I HAVE TAKEN MY 04 ENVOYXL INTO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 7 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN WHICH THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO FIX/RESOLVE. MY ENVOYXL CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK GADGES LIGHTS KEEP POPPING ON AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO CUT OFF/STALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET FIXED THE PROBLEM, I HAVE TAKEN THE SUV IN OVER 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. FROM 2004 UNTIL NOW 2007 THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS GOING OUT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES BUT THEY KEEP GOING OUT. THESE LIGHTS ARE ON THE RADIO PART, THE BUTTONS WHICH OPERATE THE RADIO AND SWITCHES THE STATION. THE PANELS SEEMS TO GET VERY HOT. THE LIGHTS ARE CURRENTLY OUT NOW AFTER BEING REPLACED 3 TIMES AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE PAINT ON THE SUV IS VERY DULL AND THE LEATHER ON THE 2ND ROW SEAT IS CRACKING, COMPLETELY WORN AND VERY CHEAP. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT THE LEATHER IS WORN OUT TOO FAST, NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE 2ND ROW LEATHER SEATS. THE PAINT ON THE EXTERIOR IS DULL AND SPOTTY, I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE PAINT EITHER. THIS SUV IS A LEMON, IT CONTINUES TO CUT OFF ALTHOUGH MANY ATTEMPTS HAS BEEN MADE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, I THINK THEY SHOULD BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK SINCE IT CAN'T BE FIXED. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SINCE THESE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUES TO WEAR OUT VERY FAST AND THE RADIO HAD TO BE REPLACED ALREADY BUT THE LIGHTS CONTINUES TO BLOW OUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE RADIO AND OTHER COMPONENTS. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BECOME ERRATIC ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. I WAS TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP IT WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT IN THE RANGE OF 300 DOLLARS JUST FOR PARTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CONVENIENTLY APPEARS SHORTLY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY. FROM WEB POSTS IT IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET AND MY INSPECTION IS DUE!!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY (UNDER 26,000 MILES). I HAVE NOTICED THAT AFTER THE SUV RUNS FOR ABOUT 1/2 HR THE SPEEDOMETER WILL DISPLAY MY SPEED BEING BELOW ZERO. IN REALITY I AM GOING ABOUT 50 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER IS BEING ACTING VERY ERRATIC. IS THERE ANYTHING THE GM CAN DO FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE SIMILAR PROBLEM TO OTHER ENVOY OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THE SAME ISSUE IN OTHER GM BRANDS. I THINK GM SHOULD RECALL 2004 ENVOYS FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER ON OUR 2004 ENVOY XL SOMETIMES QUITS WORKING. THIS CREATES AN UNPREDICTABLE SITUATION ESPECIALLY ON LONG TRIPS. *JB

SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK. IT WILL JUMP AROUND AND STICK ON ANY GIVEN SPEED AND REMAIN THERE. SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED IT WILL DECREASE 5 MPH FROM THE POINT AT WHICH IT WAS LAST POSITIONED. I CANNOT REGULATE MY SPEED WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER AND AFRAID THAT I WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING UP A FEW MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT'S CONSTANTLY ACTING UP. SOMETIMES IT SHOWS ME GOING FASTER THAN ACTUAL AND SOMETIMES IT SHOWS ME GOING SLOWER THAN ACTUAL AND SOMETIMES IT JUST SITS BELOW ZERO AND DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. NOW THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. IT READS ALL THE WAY PAST 80 AND DOESN'T EVEN MOVE WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I DO NOT TRUST ANY OF MY GAUGES NOW. I CANNOT BE ASSURED THAT ANY OF THEM ARE READING CORRECTLY. *NM

THE ONE "ELECTRICAL" PART THAT CONTROLS THE INSTRUMENTS THAT GIVE THE SPEED OF THE CAR, RPMS, GAS, OIL, ECT....ALL GAUGES DO NOT WORK. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS YET WITH GMC, I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR RIGHT AFTER THE 60K MILE MARK. THIS IS A TRUE "DANGER"...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED, HOW MUCH GAS, WHAT MY ENGINE IS DOING...NOTHING...THE DEALERSHIPS WANT ANYWHERE FROM $400.00 TO $600.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A TRUE MECHANICAL DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, SAID THAT GMC HAS A REAL PROBLEM....THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ONE PART OFTEN. ITS SOMETHING THEY SEE OFTEN. I WANT GMC TO RECALL THIS PART AND FAST...I NEED MY GAUGES TO WORK. *JB

TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY, ABS LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT, 4-WD DRIVE LIGHT, HEAT/AC CRUSIE CONTROL NOT WORKING. FOUND PI REPORT, IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED, FIXED PROBLEM. *AK

ENVOY NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, SOUNDS LIKE IT IS DRAGGING, HAD IT CHECKED OUT, THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. NOW WHEN THE DIFFICULTY STARTS THE ABS LIGHT, THE BRAKE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ALONG WITH THE 4WD LIGHT ALL COME ON, THE BLOWERS DO NOT FUNCTION WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, NOR DOES THE AIR CONDITIONING AND OR CRUISE CONTROL. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS ACTIVE, INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD 43,000 MILES, IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THEN A PI REPORT SUDDENLY CAME OUT SO WE WILL SEE IF I END UP PAYING. THEY DID TELL ME HOWEVER THAT THEY HAVE A TRAIL BLAZER IN WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND IT TOOK THEM 8 DAYS TO FIGURE IT OUT AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE GETTING A LOANER SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES.
