2005 GMC ENVOY Electrical System Problems

On steering wheel where the GMC logo is . Melted/Melting from underneath. Some type of clear color gooey. Have been told it is seal for airbag. Also none of the chimes are not working at all example * seat belts, door,blinkers,dashboard chimes *dummy lights*,along with Bose stereo. Last issues are REAR VIEW MIRROR... KEEPS FALLING OFF. have taken to dealership SEVERAL TIMES! Now they are saying that I need to contact my auto insurance provider to put in claims.

The driver side window control caught fire, while the vehicle was sitting overnight. It was sitting by itself without reason to catch fire, but it did burn inside the driver side door.

Unknown All the cluster panels quite working. RPM, Speed, Oil, Water, Gas shows always empty. Danger because have to guess my speed and never know if I have enough gas, oil, or water in my car. Also sometimes when I shut off my car I cannot get the key out of the steering column. Cannot leave my car without my keys.

The contact owned a 2005 GMC Envoy. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH the entire dashboard illuminated and needles on gauges had begun to move independently. The contact heard an abnormal "popping" sound from the front end of the vehicle and gray smoke was emitted from under the hood, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to pull off of the roadway and placed the vehicle into park (P) with difficulty. The contact exited the vehicle and moved away towards the rear end. The contact stated that she noticed flames under the vehicle located at the front end. The contact stated that within 3 minutes of observing the flames under the vehicle, the entire front end became engulfed by flames. The police and fire department arrived on the scene. The contact stated that the fire department used a chemical to extinguish the flames, the contact stated that the flames had burned not only the front end and front tires but the front part of the passenger cabin including the seats. The contact stated that the highway patrol wrote a report and had been informed by the fire department that the fire appeared to have been caused by the electrical system. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I purchased my vehicle in oct of 2021 in Nov 2021 is when my car started failing my car started to lose power also started smoking from the lower passenger side no warning lights came on besides the oil warning light since Nov 2021 my car has been losing power it only goes up to about 40 m.p.h I have been smelling fuel coming from some where my tail and license plate light and back driver side inside car light stopped working the engine light turns on and off the steering wheel makes the car lose a little bit of power when I turn the wheel or when I roll up and down the windows or adjust my seat my ac does not work the back ac turns on by it's self to the heater does not work when I have it turned all the way to the 5 I hear clicking knocking noises in the back passenger side of the car my fuel injectors had puddles of oil in them the car gets really hot and blows hot air the engine is always hot the seatbelt lights are constantly flashing my check engine light as of today flashes on and off and the car jumps also my car caught on fire under the hood where the O2 sensor is started smoking than caught on fire.

All the gages have stopped working correctly. They do not report proper information to driver . The electrical wiring to the rear wiper, license plate lights and rear hatch stopped working. The most dangerous thing is the ABS brake system dash lights and bell comes on every time the car is driven and the brake pedal goes to the floor when trying to stop.

WHILE DRIVING IN A 40 MPH ZONE I GLANCED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT READ 70 MPH! I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN BEFORE I REALIZED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATION WAS INACCURATE. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE RESUMING NORMAL OPERATION. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTICED THE GAUGE "STICKING" WHEN LETTING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CREATING AN UN-SAFE CONDITION FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE SPEED INDICATION IS TRULY ACCURATE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER GM MODELS MADE DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL HAS THE SAME RECALLED MASTER WINDOW SWITCH UNITS AS OTHER RECALLS, BOTH SIDES FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS BURNT WITH A BAD SMELL AS I WAS DRIVING. WHY? WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHEN EVERYTHING IS THE SAME AS OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES ?? I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL WITH NOWHERE TO PULL OVER FOR A FEW MILES IN GREAT PANIC WITH CARS GOING PAST ME AT 65 MPH PLUS AS I WAS BEING CAUTIOUS TO GET TO AN EXIT SO I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WAS THE DOOR SWITCH SO I LIFTED IT OUT OF THE DOOR AND UNPLUGGED IT SO I COULD CONTINUE MY TRIP. SCARY SITUATION . PLUS MY MECHANIC CAN'T GET THE ANSWER IF JUST REPLACING THE SWITCH WILL MAKE IT WORK OR DOES IT NEED PROGRAMMED INTO THE COMPUTER ?

I'VE HAD MY 2005 ENVOY FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND HAD MY HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND FREWAY. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AY NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY FOR A FEW SECONDS. I WAS SO SCARED WSS REALLY GLAD FOR NO ONE BEHIND ME OR ON COMING TRAFFIC. ON ANOTHER OCCASSION I HAD TO PULL OVER ON CITY STREET AS MY LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF AND I COULD SEE THE CAR AHEAD WAS A COP AND I DIDNT WANT HIM TO THINK I WAS FLASHING FOR HELP ESPECIALLY AT 2 IN THE MORNING. IVE ALSO HAD TO EXIT THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY LIGHTS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AND ON AND WASNT SURE IF THEY WOULD JUST GO OUT COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SINCE IT WAS NIGHT TIME I DIDNT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND HURTING SOMEONE ELSE OR MYSELF.

READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT COMPARE TO MINE THE FUEL GAUGE, OIL GAUGES, AIR CONDITIONER ARE ALL MALFUNCTIONING IN MY CAR AND I'M VERY UPSET BECAUSE ALL OF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2005 AND I WILL NEVER BUY A GMC CAR AGAIN FOR THIS REASON IT'S ONE THING TO RECALL REPAIR PARTS THAT WERE BROKEN THAT TO REPAIR MALFUNCTION PARTS. VERY DISAPPOINTED. IN SHORT MY GAUGES DON'T WORK, MY AIR CONDITIONER ONLY WORKS ON ONE SIDE AND NOW MY HEADLIGHTS LOW BEAN DON'T WORK. GMC NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 GMC ENVOY MY SPEEDOMETER WILL STOP WORKING AND REGISTER AS 0 MPH EVEN WHEN I AM MOVING. IT ALSO HAS SHOWN ME TRAVELLING AT A MUCH HIGHER SPEED AT TIMES. THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS THAT I'VE FOUND WHILE SEARCHING THE WEB. IT IS UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS TO NOT KNOW THE SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING. I HAVE STARTED TO USE A GPS SYSTEM WHEN I DRIVE TO SHOW MY SPEED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER DARK AND MY LOW BEAMS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. I COULD ONLY GET MY HIGH BEAMS TO WORK. CURRENTLY ONLY ONE LOW BEAM IS WORKING AND THE OTHER WILL NOT WORK EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULB OR THE FUSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY HAVING A YOUNG CHILD. IT WAS VERY SCARY GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND HAVE YOUR LIGHTS COMPLETELY JUST GO OUT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH 06-07 ENVOYS BUT I WANTED GM TO BE MADE AWARE THAT 2005 MODELS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED AS WELL.

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ANYMORE. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN GMC ENVOYS, BUT GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE NOR FIX THE ISSUE. SPEEDOMETER CURRENTLY SHOWS I'M DOING 60 MPH WHILE PARKED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE DRIVERS DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW FAST THEY ARE GOING...... *TR

Mileage: 93,000

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ODOMETER AND ALL THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS WENT TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN OVER THE YEARS. I TOOK IT TO TWO GMC CAR DEALERSHIPS AND THE FIRST ONE SAID IT WAS THE KILL SWITCH INSTALLED BY A BUY HERE PAY HERE DEALERSHIP. THE KILL SWITCH WAS REMOVED AND THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO FLICKER. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE CAR BEGAN TO TRIBBLE, AGAIN I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. I DID THAT AND BOUGHT A BATTERY BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. THE TOW DRIVER SAID IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND A SOLUTION. HAVE YOU HAD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE? NOT TO CONFUSE THE COMPLAINT, I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES. 1. DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND THE INFORMATION PANELS SHUT DOWN (ALL ARE AT ZERO) 2. THE ODOMETER GOES TO ZERO AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS BLACK 3. TRIBBLE UNDERNEATH WHILE DRIVING FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS SHAKING THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT AFTER A VERY SIMPLE WEB SEARCH A VAST NUMBER OF THESE GMC ENVOY VEHICLES. WHEN TRAVELING NORMALLY THE SPEEDOMETER DECIDES TO EITHER DROP ITS SPEED BY 20-30 MPH OR RAISE IT EVEN AS HIGH AS 120MPH. WHEN TRAVELING IN THE CITY OR HWY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT ZONES VARY RATHER FREQUENTLY AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER NATURALLY REACTS TO THE NEEDLE UNAWARE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTUALLY FAULTY. I HAVE THEREFORE BRAKED HARD TO REDUCE MY SPEED WHEN IN FACT I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. THAT CAN RESULT IN AN INSTANT TO A REAR END CRASH BASED ON NORMAL REACTIONS. GM OBVIOUSLY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE ON LINE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND INDEED THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR SIMILAR GM TRUCKS. THEY HOWEVER CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE ENVOY PROBLEM AND LEAVE THE OWNERS "LIVE OR DIE" WITH THE PROBLEM. HOW THIS CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A HIGH PRIORITY SAFETY ISSUE IS A MYSTERY TO ME. EVEN 10 MPH VARIATIONS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MEAN POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS FROM BUMPER HUGGING DRIVERS BEHIND. THIS ISSUE IS MORE COMMON IN THE EXTREME COLD WEATHER AND THUS I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THERE IS A DEFINITE TESTING VALIDATION PROBLEM. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND ALL LIGHTS, ETC JUST TURNED OFF. I AM CONCERNED WONDERING IF PERHAPS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ENVOY IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL? NO, IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SERVICING OF THE SUV. I TAKE CARE OF THE VEHICLE AND I DON'T DRIVE 200 MILES A MONTH.

AT LEES THAN 1/4 TANK OF FUEL THE GAS GAUGE IS CLOSE, AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE GOES WAY PAST FULL AND WILL STAY LIKE THAT UNTIL FUEL IS BELOW 1/4 TANK.

INITIALLY THE AMP GAUGE PEGGED OUT FOLLOWED WITHIN A MONTH BY THE SPEEDOMETER GIVING UP OR SOMETIMES READING 120 MPH WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD BE REPAIRED AT A COST OF ABOUT $600. NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THAT AT THE TIME, I INSTALLED A GPS UNIT SO I WOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF SPEEDOMETER. WITHIN 2 MOS. TIME THE CAR STALLED UPON TAKEOFF FROM A LIGHT WITH RINGING BELLS,THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS DIMLY LIT AND THE TACHOMETER BOUNCING FROM 500 TO 2500 RPMS WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STOPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT RE-START UNTIL THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF ONCE OR TWICE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT BRIGHTLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 65MPH. I'M TOLD GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT MANDATED AS A "SAFETY PROBLEM". I DRIVE THE INTERSTATES FOR A LIVING AND HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR ENDED NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND HOW CAN A COMPANY WHICH TOOK MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER BAILOUT MONEY NOT BE FORCED TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF DRIVING. IT GOES TO ZERO. IT SOMETIMES STARTS AGAIN IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND STARTED AGAIN, BUT IT WILL QUIT WORKING IF A LONG DRIVE CONTINUES. IT WORKS PERFECTLY WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN ON SHORT TRIPS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN APPARENTLY SAYS TO "CLEAN GROUND CONNECTION". HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM TOLD I NEED TO HAVE SPEEDOMETER REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $600.00. *TR

I PURCHASED MY ENVOY APPROX. 1 YEAR AGO. I HAVE 105,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AT 50 MPH BUT WOULD SEEM TO ALWAYS END UP FIXING ITSELF. NOW IT IS PEGGED AT 120 AND HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR 2 MONTHS. # 5 ON MY AC/HEAT BLOWER IS NOT WORKING. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON EVERY TIME I START MY CAR. I CAN NOT TURN THEM OFF , USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 30 WIPES IT WILL TURN OFF. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME. AS I AM RESEARCHING THESE PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET, HOPING TO FIND SOME SORT OF RECALL, I FIND MANY OTHER ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS!!!! I REALLY FEEL THAT GMC SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AS MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THIS SITUATION. I HAVE TO SAY WITH THIS MANY PROBLEMS, IT'S THE VEHICLE NOT THE PEOPLE AND I THINK GMC NEEDS TO BACK THEIR PRODUCT AND TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

IN DECEMBER OF THIS PAST YEAR (2012) MY 2005 GMC ENVOY BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. I WOULD BE TRAVELING DOWN THE A BUSY ROAD AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BARLEY MOVING AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 80MPH. THE NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE ANYWHERE FROM 20 MPH ALL THE WAY UP TO 120 MPH AND PEG THERE. ONE OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL 0 MPH AND WORK NORMALLY, BUT NOW THAT IS AN EXTREMELY RARE OCCURRENCE. *TR

Mileage: 63,000

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NO LONGER MEASURING MY SPEED, AND WAS STUCK ON 70MPH. THE NEEDLE REMAINED THERE, OCCASIONALLY LOWERING ITSELF IN 5MPH INCREMENTS AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, BUT THEN GETTING STUCK AGAIN WHEN DRIVING. THE NEEDLE GENERALLY BURIES ITSELF AT 120+ AND DOES NOT READJUST EVEN BY SMALL INCREMENTS ANYMORE. MY FUEL GAUGE IS ALSO NOT WORKING, READS ON E REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, I WONDER IF THESE TWO PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED? *TR

AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER GM CUSTOMERS MY VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FUEL GAUGE/SENDING UNIT FAILURE. IT BEGAN SLOWLY WITH MINOR INACCURACIES IN FUEL AMOUNT. THEN IT QUICKLY AND STEADILY GOT WORSE UNTIL THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO PAY THE FULL PRICE. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD FORCE THEM TO FULLY REPAIR THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT WHICH RENDERS THE DRIVER BLIND AS TO HOW MUCH FUEL THEY MAY HAVE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT SINCE I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AND THE LETTER STATED NOT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER UNLESS YOU CURRENTLY HAD THE PROBLEM. AS OF A WEEK AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I FUELED UP UNTIL THE TANK WAS FULL AND THE GAUGE READS AS IF THE TANK IS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IN ADDITION THE SPEEDOMETER HAS IS HAVING ISSUES NOW AS WELL. IT STICKS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THEN JUST GOES TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY GPS I WOULD HAVE NO CLUE WHAT RATE OF SPEED I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR FOR THE FUEL GAUGE WILL COST ME $240 WITH GMC PAYING THE OTHER HALF. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE I DID SO WHY AM I NOW STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BILLS? WHY WAS THIS NOT FIXED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP? SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.I SHOULD NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR GMC'S ERRORS! IN ADDITION THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE OTHER GMC MODELS FOR THE CLUSTER GAUGE THAT AFFECTS THE SPEEDOMETER. THE ENVOY WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. ONCE AGAIN WHY SHOULD I BE STUCK HOLDING THE BAG ON FAULTY EQUIPMENT? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS RESOLVED? *TR

REPEAT PROBLEMS SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AT DEALERS. AIR /O2 SENSORS DEFECTIVE/REPLACED. DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP/FUEL SENSOR/ELECTRONIC GAS GAUGE; FLICKERING/DIMMING HEADLIGHTS; FREEZING/INABILITY TO CONTROL DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND CONTROLS. 1/4 OF FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS OUT; DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CONTROL LIGHTING 1/4 OUT; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW FUEL LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1997. TIE RODS BOTH REPLACED AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT SWAY BARS. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING VEHICLE PURCHASE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY GO OFF. I WOULD CALL ONSTAR AT WHICH POINT I WAS TOLD TO TAKE CAR IN FOR REPAIR W/I 7-10 DAYS (OFTEN TOLD A PROBLEM W/POWERTRAIN OR TRANSMISSION) . AT DEALERS SERVICE DEPT, TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN AFTER TONS OF WORRY, CONCERN AND TIME SPENT, THAT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS CAR TENDS TO TRIP/TRIGGER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY WOULD JUST RESET IT SO AFTER AWHILE, I BEGAN TO DISREGARD THE LIGHT AS I WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST WEEKLY. APPROX 2 YRS AFTER PURCHASE, FILLED UP GAS TANK AND FUEL LIGHT SHOWED "LOW FUEL". WENT BACK UP TO FULL, DROPPED TO 1/2 AND BACK TO EMPTY. WENT BACK TO FULL AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND CONTINUED TO DO THIS. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS, CONSTANTLY STAYS AT EMPTY. CALLED REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD APPROX $700-800 TO DROP TANK AND REPLACE FUEL SENSOR WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD AND BEGAN TO TRACK ODOMETER AND REFILL TANK AFTER 200 MILES DRIVEN AFTER FILL UP. HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 5 YEARS. JAN 29,2011, I GO FOR EMISSION TEST. FAIL D/T LOW FUEL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. GO TO MECHANIC, APPROX $950 REPAIR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF...AND BACK ON NEXT DAY. READ THOUSANDS OF POSTS ONLINE AND AM FINDING MANY, MANY ENVOY OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEMS AS MINE. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON ENTIRE FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. PLEASE CALL FOR QUESTIONS/CLARIFICATION. *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING EMPTY CONTINUOUSLY AS I HAVE READ FROM MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. AT FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO, AT WHICH TIME THE MESSAGE IN ON THE LCD READING SAID "STOP ENGINE" AND "OIL PRESSURE LOW". I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY GAS STATION AND CHECKED THE OIL, WHICH WAS ONLY DOWN A 1/4 TANK. MY MECHANIC STOPPED THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE RESET ITSELF BUT ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS ANOTHER SENSOR PROBLEM LIKE THE FUEL SENSOR BUT IS NOT COMPLETELY SURE. I ONLY STARTED WITH THIS ISSUE TODAY BUT IT IS MORE WORRISOME TO ME THAN KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MUCH GAS SHOULD BE IN MY TANK. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW AND HAVE DRIVE 79000 MILES. I ALSO HAD A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH I BELIEVE IS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS GETTING MY TANK FILLED WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE PEGGED OUT PAST FULL, THEN BOUNCED DOWN TO EMPTY. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES THEN WENT BACK TO FULL. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUED TO BOUNCE AROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE KNEW IF WE HAD ENOUGH GAS WAS TO FILL IT AND USE THE TRIP METER. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS CEASED TO MOVE AT ALL SINCE APRIL 2011. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL SINCE THE INCIDENT. I LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT IT IS A MAJOR PAIN TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WHEN 3 PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD RELY ON IT. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, ONLY TO LEARN THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I PRICED A NEW CLUSTER AND IT WAS OVER $500. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE STILL HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WITH OUR TRIP METER. GM SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY HAD NO PROBLEM TAKING A BAILOUT. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN BUYING GM PRODUCTS FOR YEARS, HOWEVER, NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WILL EVER OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT IF THEY CAN'T DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CONSUMERS, AND DO IT NOW.

I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE CONTINUED TO ERRATICALLY GO UP AND DOWN. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS INCORRECTLY. AT FIRST IT WOULD SHOW HALF TANK OR MORE WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS LESS GAS. NOW THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. THE AUDIBLE FUEL WARNING FOR LOW FUEL ALSO RINGS CONSTANTLY. AFTER RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE REPAIR WAS TOO COSTLY. WE WERE HOWEVER CHARGED A $100 FEE JUST FOR THE GMC DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. WE NOW TRACK FUEL USING THE TRIP COMPUTER.

ONE FELLOW SAID HE TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. RECALL - AND NOW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY HUSBAND WAS LAID OFF FROM HIS JOB AND WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE 1/2 THAT GM IS OFFERING TO FIX THE THING IN THEIR RECALL. IF THEY KNEW IT WAS A FAILURE OF THEIR EQUIPMENT WHY ARE THEY NOT PAYING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT? *TR

THE FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF THE PORT TO CHECK ENGINE CODE DOES NOT WORK.

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING 8 MONTHS AGO, TOOK TO GMC DEALER FOR SERVICE ESTIMATE. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THESE FUEL GAUGES ALWAYS GO OUT ON ENVOYS AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS $578.00 (PLUS TAX) - I CHOKED AND DID NOT GET REPAIRED. 3 MONTHS LATER AFTER TRYING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FUEL GAUGE - IT BECAME A NIGHTMARE TO KNOW IF WE HAD GAS IN THE VEHICLE OR NOT, I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID "WE SEE THIS FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM ALL THE TIME ON THE ENVOYS"... THEY SAID THE GMC PARTS WERE A RIP-OFF AND EXPENSIVE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO USE GMC PARTS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE AND THEY QUOTED $408.00 (PLUS TAX) FOR THE REPAIR. THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE REPAIR SHOP SAID HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE NOT HAD A RECALL ON THIS SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF GMC'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HE SAID WE MAY WANT TO WAIT ON THE REPAIR TO SEE IF GM HAS A RECALL. ON AUGUST 30, I RECEIVED A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FROM GMC STATING AN ISSUE WITH ENVOYS AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, GMC STATED THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR. WHAT A JOKE, 50% OF A $600 REPAIR BILL FOR A PROBLEM THEY ADMIT IN WRITING IS A SCAM TO TRY AND GET AS MANY PEOPLE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ($300) BEFORE THE GOV'T. MANDATES A RECALL. I CALLED GMC AND REQUESTED A 100% PAID REPAIR AND THEY REFUSED. I WILL BE GLAD TO FORWARD THE "FUEL SENSOR FAILURE" LETTER IF YOU NEED. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP?

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT GO ABOVE 1/8 TANK. SPEEDOMETER "STICKS" USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WHEN STOPPED DOES NOT RETURN TO ZERO THEN WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN THE NEW SPEED IS ACCUMULATING ON "STUCK" SPEED. SOMETIMES SPEEDOMETER "STICKS" BEFORE REACHING STEADY SPEED AND WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED THE READING IS BELOW ZERO IN THIS SCENARIO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN THE "REGISTERED" SPEED IS BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. AS I DRIVE 1,000 MILES A WEEK, IT IS QUITE IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN MY TANK AND OF COURSE HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING. *KB

THE WIPERS WERE THE FIRST TO GO. THAT NEEDED A CONTROL MODULE. THE TOUCH PADS FOR THE TAIL GATE WERE NEXT. FIRST THE DROP DOWN THEN THE SWING.

I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPAIR AS THE ENTIRE CLUSTER PANEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVE AND REPLACED. AFTER TALKING WITH CO-WORKERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM; I LATER DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT YOU HAD TO BE THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING THE CLUSTER PANEL REPAIRED, MY GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I AM TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED FOR REPAIR AND THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE EITHER. THE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO IS NON-OPERATIONAL. THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE SEVERAL MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT I AM MOST DISTURBED BY THE FACT THAT AFTER SPENDING THE MONEY TO HAVE THE CLUSTER PANEL FIXED MY GAS GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AFTER FILL UP. MOVES FROM EMPTY, TO 1/2 FULL, TO 1/4 FULL TO EMPTY, BACK TO 1/4 FULL, BACK TO EMPTY. I CAN'T DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS IN MAY TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ENVOY AND CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. THERE IS NO WARNING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL OR SUGGESTION THAT THE GAUGE AND SENSORS BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR - BETWEEN $600 AND $900.

FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS MY 2005 GMC ENVOY DENALI HAS HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. AFTER RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY AND ILLUMINATE THE EMPTY TANK WARNING LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. WITHIN A FEW MILES THE FUEL GAUGE WILL BEGIN TO FLUCTUATE WILDLY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT. THE FUEL GAUGE SOMETIMES BEGINS TO OPERATE AGAIN AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW DAYS. CAR HAS BECOME UNSAFE BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN IT AND EMPTY TANK SENSOR "CRIES WOLF." ALSO, THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEGUN TO REGISTER A FULL TANK WHEN REALLY THE GAS TANK IS NEAR EMPTY. ONCE YOU START DRIVING THE FUEL GAUGE BEGINS TO FALL SLOWLY UNTIL ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT FINALLY REGISTERS THE PROPER GAS LEVEL... I'VE THOUGHT MY HUSBAND FILLED UP THE TANK AND ALMOST RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE DIDN'T TELL ME I WAS OUT OF GAS UNTIL I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY STUCK IN TRAFFIC - AWAY FROM A NEARBY GAS STATION. THE TRIP ODOMETER IS NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE SO IT CANNOT BE RELIED UPON. (MPG VARY DEPENDING OUT TEMPERATURE, CITY VS. HIGHWAY MILES, MPH, ETC). MESSAGE BOARDS SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE CAR STALLING UNEXPECTEDLY, EVEN DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL.

I STILL HAVE INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING. THE STALLING IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AS I TRAVEL VERY BUSY HIGHWAYS DURING MY DAILY COMMUTE. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN, AS WELL AS MYSELF, HAVE BEEN STRANDED MANY TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER OPERATING FINE PRIOR TO TURNING OFF IGNITION. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FOR US BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS. AT THIS POINT, I DO NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE OUT OF FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF HER AND MY CHILDREN.

IT RESEMBLED THE CAR RUNNING OUT OF GAS WITHOUT DOING SO. AFTER I PULLED OFF THE ROAD WITH GREAT DIFFICULTIES, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE GOT STUCK IN IT. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AFTER THIS OCCURRED AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. THERE IS NO RELEASE SWITCH WHICH THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THERE SHOULD BE SO HE COULD GET IT ONTO THE TRUCK, SO THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE DRUG WITH THE WHEELS LOCKED ONTO THE FLATBED AND THEN PUSHED OFF IN THE SAME MANNER.

I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THE FIRST TIME THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY, SOME CABLES AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT BACK ABOUT A MONTH LATER BECAUSE THE LIGHT WERE STILL FLASHING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS AND TOLD ME IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR. I DID NOT BELIEVE THEM AND DID NOT GET MY ALTERNATOR CHANGED ($675.00) AND MY CAR HAS BEEN STARTING AND RUNNING FINE. MY HEADLIGHTS STILL FLICKER, BUT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

I PULLED OVER AT A CONVENIENCE STORE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 45 MPH IN PARK. I CONTINUED HOME GAUGING SPEED BY THE OTHER TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. ON 01-14-2009, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE VEHICLE RETURNING FROM SCHOOL. THE SPEEDOMETER APPEARED TO BE WORKING. AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00 PM WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES. AT THE SAME TIME, THE A/C WENT TO MAXIMUM HEAT AND HIGH BLOWER. MY WIFE STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN PARK. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, STRIKING MY DAUGHTER IN THE LEFT TEMPLE RESULTING IN A MILD CONCUSSION. ONSTAR NOTIFIED THE POLICE OF A COLLISION. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO REFERRED ME TO GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE. THE AGENT TOLD ME THAT THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING TOO FAST AND TURNING TOO SHARP. AN INVESTIGATOR WAS DISPATCHED TO GATHER COMPUTER INFORMATION AND DETERMINE IF THERE HAD BEEN A COLLISION. HIS RESULTS WERE THERE WAS NO COLLISION AND THE BAGS DEPLOYED PER COMMAND FROM THE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM BASED ON THE VEHICLE TRAVELING 20 MPH AND TURNING TOO SHARP. THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY TRAVELING 20 MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE. TURNING RIGHT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN GOING THROUGH A FENCE AND LEFT WOULD HAVE PUT THE VEHICLE IN A PARK. GMC REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AND THE DRIVER'S ACCOUNT FURTHER. I CONTACTED A LOCAL GM DEALER WHO HAS AS MUCH CONCERN ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AS I DO. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN INITIATED TO DATE AS IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT IS AT FAULT.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE WE HAVE BEEN ON BACK ROADS, RUSH-HOUR FREEWAY TRAFFIC, ETC. AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND YOU CAN'T PUMP THE BRAKES-YOU HAVE ONE SHOT TO HIT THE BRAKES. LAST THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2008 THIS HAPPENED TO US 5 TIMES IN ONE DAY!! MY WIFE WAS ON HER WAY HOME FROM A JOB INTERVIEW AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON HER 3 TIMES. THEN, IT SHUT OFF ON HER AGAIN WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING TO PICK ME UP FROM WORK. ON OUR WAY HOME IT SHUT OFF FOR THE 5TH TIME THAT DAY AND IT DID IT IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY, RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS! THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WE KEEP THIS CAR IN TIP-TOP SHAPE, PROPERLY MAINTAINED. IT IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAVING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS IS NOT RIGHT. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ASAP. THIS NEEDS FIXED IMMEDIATELY...AND APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING WITH A LOT OF, IF NOT ALL, ENVOYS. ONE ENVOY...THAT COULD BE A FLUKE, BUT MORE THAN ONE, EVEN JUST 2 IS A DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 GMC ENVOY IN SEPTEMBER 2005. IN THE PAST YEAR (SINCE JANUARY 2007, AT LEAST), I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST PROBLEM IS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. EVERYTIME I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS APPEAR TO DIM/FLICKER AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ONCOMING VEHICLES TURNING THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON ME THINKING MY BRIGHTS ARE ON WHEN IN REALITY MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DIMMING AND THEN RETURNING TO NORMAL. THE SECOND PROBLEM CONCERNS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ANYTIME A CERTAIN WEIGHT LIMIT IS MET OR EXCEEDED THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS SUPPOSED TO SWITCH TO ON, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR HASN'T RECOGNIZED IT. THIRD PROBLEM, DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT FAILURE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN I HAVE TRIED TO MOVE THE DRIVER SEAT FORWARD, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE MOTOR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GRINDING AND WANTED TO MOVE, BUT THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THE MOST EXTREME PROBLEM TO DATE HAS BEEN WITH THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THEN NOT STARTING OR EVEN TURNING OVER AT ALL. EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR, AT LEAST, THE LAST MONTH WHEN I GO TO START THE VEHICLE IT FAILS TO START AND IT TAKES A MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR TO GET IT STARTED. ONE INSTANCE IN PARTICULAR WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WAS WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY. WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WE WERE FORCED TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER. WE SAT THERE FOR ALMOST AN HOUR IN TEMPERATURES OF 13 DEGREES TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS OF OTHER ENVOY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THESE SAME PROBLEMS. SOME DEALERS HAVE ACTUALLY SAID THAT THESE FAILURES/PROBLEMS ARE NORMAL!!!! WHAT!?!?! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! SINCE WHEN IS IT CONSIDERED "NORMAL" WHEN SO MANY ENVOYS ARE DISPLAYING THESE SAME PROBLEMS? *TR

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS SHOWING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE NEEDLE GETS STUCK FOR A MOMENT WHILE THE CAR SPEEDS UP. THE NEEDLE WILL ALSO STAY AT ONE SPEED WHILE THE CAR SLOWS DOWN, THUS GIVING NO TRUE READING OF SPEED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY - SINCE PURCHASE, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT; SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN TO UNDER 11 VOLTS WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE DEALER HAS TIGHTENED THE GROUND CONNECTIONS AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE; AFTER RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS "NORMAL". THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 50K MILES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *JB

Mileage: 1,000

SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2005, I HAVE EXPERIENCED DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS DIMMING AT INTERMITTENT TIMES. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER ,WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AT VARIOUS TIMES. EACH TIME IT WAS SERVICED, I AM TOLD THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT THROTTLE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE THROTTLE TO SURGE AND THE HEADLIGHTS TO GO DIM TO BRIGHT AND DASH LIGHTS TO GO DIM TO BRIGHT. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, AND THE DEALERSHIP STATES THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THIS CONDITION IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN CONFINED SPACES SUCH AS PARKING LOTS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS PROBLEM TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES SINCE JULY 2006 AND CONTINUE TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM.*AK

Mileage: 11,373

THERE ARE 3 CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY 05 ENVOY. MY LIGHTS FLICKER AND BATTERY GAUGE GOES DOWN SUDDENLY THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. UPON EXITING MY TRUCK I ALWAYS GET A HUGE SHOCK!! THE KNOBS ON THE SIDES OF MY FRONT SEATS KEEP COMING OFF, I HAVE HAD ONE REPLACED BEFORE NOW THEY ARE BOTH OFF AND MISSING, THEY MUST HAVE FELL OUT THE DOOR ONE DAY. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD, AND TAIL LIGHTS FLASHED RANDOMLY AT ANY SPEED, THIS FAILURE STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2006. THE WEATHER AND TIME OF DAY WERE NOT FACTORS IN THE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THERE WERE TSBS FOR THE FAILURE, AS WELL AS FOR SEVERAL OTHERS. THE FUEL NECK HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE DUE TO A DESIGN CHANGE. THE SEAL AROUND THE LICENSES PLACE HOLDER CAME LOOSE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SQUEAKING, THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE FOR SERVICE ON THREE OCCASIONS, AND REPLACED THE SERPENTINE BELT TWICE, AN AIRBAG SENSOR, THE REAR WIPER ARM, THE OXYGEN SENSOR TWICE ,THE FIRST TIME AT 7000 MILES. THERE WERE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURES, WHEN THE CONTACT TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATED AND THEN SURGED. THE WEATHER STRIPPING ON THE REAR DOORS HAS BEEN REPAIRED THREE TIMES. THE ABS WOULD SKIP ON A BUMPY ROAD AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AT ONE POINT THE CONTACT COULD SMELL FUEL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND VEHICLE HAD VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT AIR VALVE BECAME STUCK AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE REAR DOOR HINGES SQUEAKED. THIS WINTER IT WON'T GO TO FULL VOLTAGE UNTIL A MINUTE ELAPSED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED. THE ORIGINAL FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3829, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23700.*AK THE BRAKES WERE INOPERATIVE, THE BELTS SQUEAKED, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY, THE REAR WIPER WOULD ONLY WIPE THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK WINDSHIELD. A NEW FUEL NECK WAS INSTALLED. UPDATED 03/15/07. *JB

Mileage: 3,829

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FLICKER AND DIM. THIS HAS BEEN NOTED TO OCCUR MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS. THE VOLTAGE GAGE JUMPS APPROXIMATELY 6 VOLTS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RECREATED. *JB

AT THE BEGINNING OF NOV THERE WAS TWO OCCASIONS THAT I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK MY HEADLIGHTS AND THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BOARD WOULD DIM AND FLASH EVERY TIME I LET MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. THE GAUAGE TO THE BATTERY WOULD DROP DOWN PASS THE HALF POINT.AND I WOULD HERE CLICKING IN MY STEERING COLUMN,THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON.I TOLD THE GMC DEALERABOUT THIS,THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY CONCERN AT THAT TIME. HE GAVE ME A #02-06-03-008A FORM AND TOLD ME IT COULDNT BE FIXED. I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS I AM DRIVING A DEFECTIVE SUV. I AM AFRAID OF GOING OUT TO START MY SUV AND IT NOT START.THAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IT COULD HAVE. *NM

I HAVE AN '05 GMC ENVOY SLT. I'VE ONLY OWNED IT SIX MONTHS, SINCE NOV '05. I'VE DEALT WITH FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS UNTIL JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I HAD THAT ISSUE LOOKED AT WHILE INSTALLING STEP RAILS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A TYPICAL ISSUE WITH ENVOYS AND THEY ONLY NEEDED TO 'TIGHTEN' SOME BOLTS. WHEN I INITIALLY MENTIONED THE PROBLEM I ALSO COMMENTED THAT I WOULD GET THE 'SHOCK' OF MY LIFE WHILE EXITING THE ENVOY AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE A GROUNDING ISSUE BUT THEY SAID NO. ANYWAY. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR A FEW DAYS BUT IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN AND IT GETS WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. BEFORE I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SO BAD I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE SURGE IN UNISON WITH THE FLICKERING OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS. I FEEL THIS COULD BE AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT INVOLVES THE HEADLIGHTS AND IT MORE NOTICEABLE IN THE DARK HOURS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLS AND OPERATES AT A REDUCED SPEED. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK AT NIGHT AND THE GAS GAUGE PROVIDES AN INCORRECT DISPLAY OF THE PROPER FUEL LEVEL. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW DROPPED THE LIGHTS BECAME DIM AND THE BATTERY FAILED. UPDATED 04/06/06. *JB

Mileage: 35,000

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ENTERING THE FREEWAY ON RAMP. THE RAMP IS CONTROLLED BY A SIGNAL AND I WAS WAITING MY TURN WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. I WAS COASTING DOWNHILL INTO ANOTHER CAR WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. I BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DAMAGING THE FRONT GRILL AND HOOD OF MY CAR. SUBMITTED THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. *JB

(2005 ENVOY) ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE DIMMING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT . THIS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY. WHEN THE LIGHTS DIM, THE HEAT SLOWS DOWN AS WELL. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS OCCASIONALLY DIM WHEN THIS HAPPENS, TOO. MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY AND STARTED TO LOOK AT THE BATTERY GAGE, WHILE ONE OF US KEPT AN EYE ON THE LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH. LAST WEEK IT HAPPENED ABOUT EVERY 2 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY SCARY, AS I THOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS JUST GOING TO SHUT DOWN. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY GM DEALER AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND WIRES WERE FINE. HE STATED THAT WITH NEW VEHICLES AND EVERYTHING THAT IS RUN IN THEM THIS IS NORMAL. ALTHOUGH HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THEIR COMPUTER TOLD THEM THAT NOTHING NEEDED TO BE FIXED. WE HAVE NO AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE ONLY THINGS RUNNING WERE THE HEAT AND RADIO. *NM

ON THE NIGHT OF SATURDAY (AT 9 P.M.), DECEMBER 10, 2005, I DROVE MY GMC ENVOY SLT TO MICHAEL'S. WHEN DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, MY DAUGHTER AND I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE PARKED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AGAIN. SEVERAL ICONS THAT HAD NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN APPEARED, AND MY VEHICLE'S CLOCK REFLECTED 12:00. THE CLOCK WAS SET FOR THE CORRECT TIME INITIALLY, AND NEVER TAMPERED . WE SHOPPED FOR 20 MINUTES AND RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE, STARTED IT UP AND AGAIN SEVERAL ICONS APPEARED. THE CLOCK SAID 12:00 THOUGH IT WAS 9:30 P.M. WE DROVE THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD VIEWING SOME CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AS I PULLED ONTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND BEGAN BREAKING TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND AND PARK IT OUTSIDE OF OUR GARAGE, IT DID NOT RESPOND TO BREAKING. WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN HARDER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED AT THE SAME SPEED. I SCREAMED THAT WE WERE GOING TO HIT THE GARAGE DOOR, AND AT THAT MOMENT FELT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED DOWN ALL THE WAY. IT SLAMMED THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR, I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. MY FRONT AND MY DAUGHTER'S FRONT PASSENGER DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED AND WE SMELLED GAS. MY HUSBAND CALLED 911 AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES RESPONDED. THEY DETERMINED IT SHOULD BE SAFE BUT ASKED THE FURNACE BE TURNED DOWN SO THAT IT WOULD NOT CAUSE ANY COMBUSTION AND TO KEEP THE AREA VENTILATED.. THE GARAGE DOOR WAS TOTALLY DEMOLISHED, AND DRYWALL DAMAGES IN SEVERAL SPOTS. A TECHNICIAN FROM OVERHEAD GARAGE DOORS REMOVED THE REMNANTS OF THE DOOR. MY DAUGHTER'S CAR HAD MINOR PAINT AND DENT DAMAGE AS IT WAS IN THE GARAGE ALREADY. GM'S ROADSIDE TOWING HAULED THE ENVOY ONTO A FLATBED TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE EXPLAINED THE ACCIDENT TO GM WHEN WE CONTACTED THEM FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT OUR DEALERSHIP, ANDY MOHR, NOBLESVILLE, IN. *NM

Mileage: 3,500

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLE DEFAULTED INTO THIRD GEAR AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS WAS DUE TO A COMPUTER PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE SOLUTION. *AK

WHEN DRIVING - INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER/BLINK. *NM

Mileage: 20

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER PERIODICALLY. I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE HOME AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS A HUGE DISTRACTION TO HER WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LESS THAN 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO MY FRIEND, HIS 2005 TRAILBLAZER DOES THE SAME THING. NM

DT: CONSUMER OWNS A '05 GMC ENVOY AND HAS DIFFICULTY TOWING A TRAILER WITHIN GM RATES, GM STATES THAT HIS ENVOY CAN TOW A WEIGHT OF 5,800 POUND CAPACITY, HOWEVER HE FEELS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO MANEUVER A TRAVEL TRAILER OF 3,400 POUND CAPACITY. THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. CONSUMER HAS PULLED THE TRAILER WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND IT PULLS FINE BUT WHEN ATTACHED TO THE ENVOY THERE IS A PROBLEM. CONSUMER FEELS IT IS NOT WITH THE SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE BUT WITHIN THE ENGINE WHICH IS A V6. WHEN PULLING TRAILER FOR A DISTANCE AS LITTLE AS 2 MILES THE ENGINE HEATS UP, AND HE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF SPEED AND ENGINE THE BOGS DOWN TO 30 MPH. ENVOY IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 373 AXLE RATIO AND CAN NOT PULL AN ENCLOSED 24FT TRAVEL TRAILER ON IT'S 6 CYLINDER ENGINE. THE 2ND TRIP TO DEALER, THE SERVICE MANAGER DID DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THE CONSUMER NEEDED A V8 ENGINE. ALSO, THERE IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. CONSUMER GAVE EXAMPLES OF AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES AND THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM ENABLING ITSELF RESULTING IN A SHUTDOWN OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK TO DEALER 10 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER SAID GM WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE REPAIR UNLESS THEY COULD DUPLICATE PROBLEM. HAS CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT LEAST 100 TIMES FOR THESE ISSUES WITHOUT ANY LUCK. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS AS A RESULT. CONSUMER IS STILL EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS AS A RESULT. *JB
