I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED MY 2005 GMC ENVOY STALLING WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT WILL JUST STOP GOING AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASH ON. LUCKILY, WHEN I TURN THE KEY, IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. GOING TO CALL MECHANIC AND SEE IF HE CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND FUEL LEVELS ARE NOT PROPERLY INDICATED. THE CAR SHAKES AND CUTS OFF WHEN IDLING. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW FUEL ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY. TOOK CAR IN TWICE TO [XXX] BLACK KENNESAW BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I INFORMED THEM ON BOTH SERVICE VISITS THAT I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC BUT THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING, I COULD NOT TELL WHAT THE CAR'S SPEED WAS. THE NEEDLE WOULD GO UP AND THEN FALL BACK DOWN, AND THEN WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS WOULD GO ON EVERY TIME I DROVE. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT THERE WASN'T. THERE HAD BEEN SOME COMPLAINTS AND I EVEN CALLED GM AND PLACED A COMPLAINT. I COULDN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS WAY, IT WAS TO DANGEROUS, SO I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND HAD IT REPAIRED. IT COST ME $540.79 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED! I WAITED AND WAITED FOR A RECALL BECAUSE I KNEW THERE HAD BEEN OTHERS IN THE SAME SITUATION AS ME. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT GM WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY PARTS THAT THEY PLACE ON THEIR VEHICLES. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL TANK SENSOR AND I HAD IT REPAIRED THREE YEARS BEFORE GM WOULD EVER ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS REIMBURSED BY GM, BUT ONLY IF THE REPAIRS WERE DONE BY A GM DEALER. I GUESS I'LL BE STUCK WITH THE CLUSTER REPAIR SINCE IT WASN'T REPAIRED BY A DEALER. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THAT COST WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALER! GM NEEDS TO SUCK IT UP AND REIMBURSE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HAD REPAIRS COMPLETED EVEN IF IT'S NOT BY THE DEALER. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL FROM GM, AND AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A RECEIPT! *TR
