NHTSA Complaint #10398715 — 2004 GMC ENVOY

THE PROBLEM FROM WHAT I CAN TELL FROM RESEARCHING IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND I HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS ON THE NET THAT PEOPLE ARE STATING THE SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING. THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ANYWHERE FROM 0-120 MPH AND THOUGH I HAVE NOTICED THAT NO FIRES OR DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED IS THIS WHAT THE NHTSA WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO DIE FROM THIS HAPPENING? ALSO, THE TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, AND VOLTAGE INDICATOR HAVE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES AS WELL. THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING (IE M.P.H.). I AM BEING TOLD THIS WILL BE A $450 FIX WHEN IN FACT WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS I AM READING ARE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES IT SEEMS THAT GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES. IS IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS SO MUCH INVESTED IN GMC THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEING RESOLVED? HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE THE NHTSA WILL REACT? DO I NEED TO START POSTING TO ALL THE FORUMS I ENCOUNTER AND GET PEOPLE TO SIGN UP? IF I AM THE 55TH PERSON WITH JUST THE '04 GMC ENVOY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE THEN ALL THE OTHER YEARS AND MODELS OF GM AND CHEVY FROM '02 THROUGH AT LEAST '06 MUST FILING COMPLAINTS, TOO. IN TOTAL THERE MUST BE ENOUGH TO AT LEAST LOOK INTO THE MATTER SO WHY ARE YOU STALLING? A PERSON NOT KNOWING HOW FAST THEY ARE DRIVING MUST BE A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY THROUGH SCHOOL ZONES AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS WOULD YOU NOT AGREE? FOR US THE ISSUE STARTED ABOUT A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE BY THE WEEK. WE MAY GO A DAY WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT THEN IT STARTS HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN; IT USE TO BE THAT IS WOULD START ONLY ON THE FREEWAY BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVEN AROUND TOWN. I WILL WAIT FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE NHTSA BEFORE GETTING THIS REPAIRED, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BY NOW BEING THAT I HAVE BEEN SEEING INFO ON THE NET ABOUT IT FOR SOME TIME NOW, BUT I FIGURE I NEED TO GET INVOLVED BEFORE ANYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. *TR
