NHTSA Complaint #10596315 — 2004 GMC ENVOY

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER OF THE SUV BEGAN TO INDICATE INCORRECT READINGS. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS FINE UNTIL WE GO ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAVEL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET BETWEEN 65-70. THEN THEY WILL READ THE INCORRECT SPEED FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN START WORKING FINE AGAIN. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE JUST "HANGS." I TALKED TO 2 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS WHO ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ENVOY'S AND TRAILBLAZERS. THE COST TO DO THIS IS OVER $500 OR MORE. IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER 2004 GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER. WHEN I TALKED TO THE REPAIR SHOPS THEY SAID BEFORE THEY CAN CORRECT THE ISSUE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS TO SEE IT HAPPEN. EACH TIME I HAD AN APPT SET IT WOULD START WORKING BEFORE THE APPT DATE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. VERY IRRITATED THAT GMC DOESN'T ADDRESS THIS NOW. *TR
