2003 GMC ENVOY XL Electrical System Problems

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I HAD TRAFFIC RIGHT BEHIND ME GOING 45MPH AND THEN THEY CAR WOULD NOT RUN AGAIN. I WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTER SECTION AT HALL ROAD AND 59 IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS A USED AUTO AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE EMMISSION SYSTEM EVER GOT CHANGED AND THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE AND THE DEALER SAID NOT TO DRIVE WITH MY HOUSE KEYS ATTACHED. I HAD TO GET THE AUTO TOWED HOME.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, THE THIRD ROW FLOOR GOT REALLY HOT AND MY CHILDREN WERE SAYING THEIR FEET WERE REALLY HOT AND WE SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE PLASTIC MELTING AND MY 15 YEAR OLD COUSINS BOOT MELTED AND THE CARPET MELTED AND YOU CAN SEE METAL. ONCE WE ARRIVED HOME THE BLINKER STAYED ON AND DID NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED. JUST BEFORE THIS HAPPED THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUT HIS FOOT ON THE GAS ALL THE WAY.

I WAS IN A MVA JULY 22, 2015 I WAS TBONED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE WENT HEADON WITH A LIGHT POLE AND MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL IN THE TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. IT WAS AN AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY AND I WASNT GIVEN ANY KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEMS OR RECALLS. I SUFFERED EXTENSIVE INJURIES TO MY BODY AND MY TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS $10000 IN DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE.

THE FAN BLOWER FOR HEAT AND AIR WOULDN'T CUT OFF EVEN WITH THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION. ALSO TWO COIL PACKS WENT OUT WITHIN A MONTH. *TR

MAINLY IN WET WEATHER, DASHBOARD ALERTS CHIME AND LIGHTS FLASH. DOESN'T STOP UNTIL WEATHER IS BETTER. I'M AFRAID THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE. BOUGHT VEHICLE IN DECEMBER, 2013. DEALER WON'T HELP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE ADVISE. I CAN'T FIND A RECALL REGARDING THIS. BUT HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND REVIEWS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS WHEN I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS WINTER AT THE TIME. VERY FRUSTRATED AND UNHAPPY. *TR

TRUCK SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL AND HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING LOSE AND NOT SHUTTING OFF ALL THE WAY WHEN THE KEY IS OUT AND JUST THE OTHER MORNING I WENT TO GO TO WORK AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START DUE TO THE IGNITION BEING STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AFTER I HAD PARKED MY CAR AND TOOK THE KEY OUT, I AM NOW AFRAID THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IS GOING TO BE BUMPED INTO THE OFF POSITION AND CAUSE ME TO CRASH. *TR

HEADLIGHT SWITCH OVERHEATED AND CAUSED CIRCUIT PANEL TO CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FIRST STARTED FLUCTUATING THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL HAS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. IT SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING BUT THERE WASN'T A FIRE. I'VE HAD BOTH SITUATIONS CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC STATES THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THE ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS BUT IT IS STILL AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL MALFUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FRONT DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AND THE REAR DOORS WOULD ONLY LOCK BY USING THE KEY FOB. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS, WINDOWS, POWER MIRROR ADJUSTER AND THE HEATED SEATS FAILED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SWITCH PANEL ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V248000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND VISIBILITY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. PAM UPDATED 08/12/14*LJ

MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS AND WINDOW CONTROLS HAVE CEASED TO OPERATE. EVIDENTLY FLUID MAY ENTER THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, CAUSING CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE DOOR MODULE WHICH CAUSED THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SHORT MAY ALSO CAUSE OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD MELT COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR MODULE, PRODUCING AN ODOR, SMOKE, OR A FIRE. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A RECALL FROM GM AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, IF IT IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, A PROTECTIVE COATING WILL BE APPLIED. IF THE MODULE IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, IT WILL BE REPLACED. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 12180. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO MY AUTOMOBILE...MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES MANUAL SWITCH FOR 2HI,AWD,4HI,4LOW. THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE USED VEHICLE FROM FIXED THE ISSUE RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE AND I'M HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCH. I TRY TO SELECT ANYTHING BESIDES 2HI AND THE SELECTOR WILL JUST CONTINUE TO BLINK ON THE SELECTION WITHOUT ANY ACTION. SOMETIMES THE SERVICE 4WD WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE/COMPLAINT OF OTHER ENVOY OWNERS ONLINE. *TR

I GOT HOME ONE EVENING AND WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. I WAS CONCERNED; AS I COULD NOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE RUNNING ALL NIGHT; AT THAT POINT I TRIED TO ENGAGE THE KEY AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING . I BECAME CONCERNED AND STARTED TO FIDDLE WITH THE KNOBS AND WAS SURPRISED WHEN AFTER TURNING THE HIGHLIGHT SWITCH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE NEXT MORNING I HESTITATELY ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I WAS SUCCESSFUL I HEADED STRAIGHT TO THE GMC DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM AND THE IGNITION WIRING HAD TO BE REDONE; (THE COST WAS $1600.00) I STARTED A DIALOG WITH GM AND THEY ENGAGED ME WITH SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS; WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD PICK UP THE COST; AS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE NOT PART OF...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND GMC WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAY I HAVE TOO MANY MILES AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS NOW CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND THE WHOLE ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS IN FAILURE, I CAN'T START THE VEHICLE NOW AND THIS IS 2013. CHRONIC ONGOING PROBLEM THAT POSES MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES WITH SPEED, FUEL AND MUCH MORE. *TR

MY GMC ENVOY CLUSTER ( SPEEDOMETER ) IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY SOMETIMES IT MOVES AND SOMETIME IT JUST SIT ON ZERO, EVEN IF GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR.. THE EXTERIOR HEADLIGHT SHOT OFF ONE NIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME I CAN ONLY DRIVE WITH FULL LIGHT. MY MECHANIC STATED IT WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS... GMC NEEDS TO DO SOME RECALLS ON SOME ISSUE ON THIS TRUCK... I HAVE RED SIMILAR ISSUE WITH OTHER TRUCK OWNER. *TR

MY GMC ENVOY XL THAT IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND ALL MAINTENANCE IS ALWAYS KEPT UP TO DATE JUST STOPPED CHARGING (BATTERY) OVER NIGHT. I WAS TOLD THE THE BATTERY CELL WAS BAD AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. I SPENT THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TO ONLY FIND OUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE, AND THE DEALERSHIP IS STILL HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THE EXACT ISSUE WITH WHAT COMPONENT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY TRUCK FOR A WEEK NOW, AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE BILL FOR FIX THIS ISSUE. I AM HOPING THE GMC RECOGNIZES THIS IS A PROBLEM AND HELPS INDIVIDUALS WITH SOME COST TO HELP FIX AN ISSUE THAN HAS BEEN ONGOING WITH THERE PRODUCT. *TR

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

IT'S SEEMS CRAZY TO ME THAT THIS AGENCY THAT WAS CREATED TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM FAULTY VEHICLES CAN LET SO MANY COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS MANUFACTURER THAT WAS BAILED OUT BY TAXPAYERS MONEY CAN BE SO BLIND TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON GMC PART. I HAVE SPENT COUNT LESS HOURS AND WAY TOO MUCH MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE LITERALLY SAT DOWN AND CRIED VOWING NEVER TO BY ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE CAR BECAUSE THEY ARE PIECES OF JUNK (AND THAT IS PUTTING IT NICELY). I HAVE PAID TO REPLACE THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND ALL THAT GOES WITH THAT; THE CATALYST CONVERTER TWICE; THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND NOW MY RADIO DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE THERE IS A SHORT THAT IS DRAINING THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF; THE SPEED CONTROL (MPH/RPM) DOESN'T WORK AND...

SPEEDOMETER STARTED DISPLAYING INCORRECT MPH. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH, SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 110MPH AND HAS CONTINUED TO TODAY. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SHOWS 60MPH. GMC HAS RECALLS FOR OTHER MAKES, NOT OURS. I GOOGLED THIS INFORMATION, TURNS OUT THOUSANDS OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED GM FOR ASSISTANCE, WAS TOLD MY MODEL WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE. THE REPAIR WILL COST $600-800. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY ISN'T THERE AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ASSIST. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL IN 2008 FROM A NY DEALER WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT, THE CAR DIDN'T REGISTER ANY ACCIDENTS WITH CARFAX. THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR MY BATTERY WENT DEAD AND I WAS STRANDED AT 7AM WITH MY KIDS. THE DEALER PAID FOR THE TOW AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. A YEAR LATER WHILE DRIVING TO MY SONS BASKETBALL GAME AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER AND USED MY HAZARDS, MY SON INSPECTED THE LIGHTS AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING WAS BURNING..THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WIRE WAS BURNT BADLY. WE REPLACED THE LIGHT AND THE WIRING. THE NEXT DAY NOT ONLY DID THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BUT I COULDN'T PUT MY WINDOW UP! THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW PANEL DID NOT WORK, BUT THE OTHER WINDOWS WORKED FINE. I PAID $400 TO HAVE THE PANEL REPLACED. (NOW...

PURCHASED A 2003 ENVOY IN NOVEMBER OF 2010 AT AROUND 86000 MILES IN ONE MONTH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT SO NO SPEEDOMETER AND AFFECTED THE OIL GAUGE. AT EXACTLY 100,000 MILES THE DRIVER DOOR PANEL WENT OUT COULD SMELL WIRES BURNING. CALLED DEALER WHERE PURCHASED TO TRADE IN ON VEHICLE IN WORKING ORDER AND HE WAS ABLE TO FIND PARTS FROM JUNK YARD TO REPLACE I WAS ALSO INFORMED THE PROBLEMS I HAD HAVE BECOME AN EPIDEMIC FOR ALL GMC VEHICLES AND PEOPLE ARE SPENDING A SMALL FORTUNE GETTING THEM REPAIRED. JUST WANT TO ADVISE ANYONE READING THIS TO STOP BUYING ANYTHING MADE MY GMC BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS NOR DOES THE GOVERNMENT MAKE THEM. *TR

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. IT HAS BEEN ACTING UP OCCASIONALLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT NOW IT SOMETIMES WILL TOTALLY MALFUNCTION AND EITHER BOTTOM OUT AT ZERO, OR REGISTER TOO HIGH, IT IS JUST NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR GMC VEHICLES OF THIS TIME FRAME, AND ENVOYS ARE ONE OF THE WORST. *TR

PROBLEMS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES. SPECIFICALLY WITH THE RPM GAUGE. IT REFLECTS ERRATIC RPM'S WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THE NEEDLE WOULD RAISE TO BETWEEN 5-6K RPMS WHEN AT IDLE, AFTER APPROX 2 WEEKS IT WOULD RESET ITSELF TO NORMAL, APPROX 2-3 WEEKS LATER IT WOULD REGISTER APPROX 6-7K RPMS THEN RESET ITSELF ONCE AGAIN TO NORMAL. NOW IT IS PEGGED ALL THE WAY AROUND AND POINTING DUE SOUTH, IT ATTEMPTS TO RESET ITSELF BUT WILL NOT. I AM ALSO SEEING ERRATIC INDICATIONS ON THE FUEL GAUGE. ON THE EDMUNDS ENVOY FORUM THERE ARE QUITE A FEW ENVOY OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, SOME ARE HAVING SPEEDOMETER LEVEL PROBLEMS. WAS IN CONNECT WITH GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE COULD/WOULD NOT HELP SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I EVEN SUGGESTED THAT THEY PAY AT LEAST 1/2 THE COST OF REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THIS A COMPONENT FAILURE...

SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATES BETWEEN NOT WORKING AT ALL TO SIMPLY DISPLAYING AN OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT SPEED. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING COST 550.00 TO REPLACE AND AFTER READING ONLINE ALL GMC ENVOYS OF THIS YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I FEEL THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER READING BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 50 MPH. THE FUEL, RPMS, WATER TEMPERATURE, BATTERY AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FLUCTUATED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

DURING COLDER DAYS, OUR SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2003 GMC ENVOY XL DOES NOT WORK UNTIL IT WARMS UP. WE HAVE 112,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER RESEARCHING ON LINE FOR SPEEDOMETER ISSUES, THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE. I CANNOT TELL WHAT SPEED WE ARE GOING AND THEN ONCE IT WARMS UP IT BEGINS TO WORK RECORDING HALF SPEED. IT MAY OR MAY NOT EVENTUALLY RECORD ACCURATE SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FROM THE STAND POINT THAT I USE MY SPEEDOMETER TO DETERMINE SPEED GOING INTO CORNERS AND OFF RAMPS. WITHOUT THIS ABILITY, MY SPEED IS ESTIMATED WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW ACCURATE SPEED INTO CURVES. THIS APPEARS TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

IN SIX YEARS MY 2003 ENVOY HAS HAD NOTHING BUT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MY LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY BEING REPLACED. MY HEAD LIGHT WIRING HAS SHORTED OUT AND NOW THE WHOLE WIRING CONNECTION NEEDS REPLACED. THE LATEST IS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM THAT IS DRAINING MY BATTERY AND NOT ALLOWING IT TO PROPERLY CHARGE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE ENVOY THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY, NOTHING I DID WOULD RESET IT. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND $650.00 LATER IT WAS FIXED. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY HAD SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE MOVE TO 120 MPH AND WOULD NOT REGISTER PROPER SPEED ON HIGHWAY. ONCE PARKED, CYCLING THE ENGINE (ON/OFF/ON/OFF) CAUSED THE NEEDLE TO RETURN TO ZERO WHILE PARKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE (DEC 18, 2009 AND FEB 4, 2010). THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT OPERATE SMOOTHLY BUT RATHER INCREASES OR DECREASES IN 1 MPH INCREMENTS IN A 'JERKY MOTION'... THIS MUST BE A SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING HAYWIRE. I WAS EITHER GOING LESS THAN 0 MILES AND HOUR OR OVER 120 MILES AND HOUR, DEPENDING ON THE DAY. IT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED ITSELF AND STARTED WORKING AGAIN FOR A WHILE. NOW IT IS BACK TO ACTING ERRATIC AND I NEVER, EVER KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING. I AM EVEN MORE UPSET NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON HERE ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A RECALL SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED BY GMC. I NOW HAVE TO PAY SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 03' ENVOY STICKS, IT SAYS I AM GOING LIKE 60 WHEN I JUST CRANKED THE CAR. ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE CAR THE SPEEDOMETER STILL READS THE TOP SPEED YOU WERE GOING. THIS IS HORRIBLE, I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM!! GMC NEEDS TO RECALL THIS FAULT AND HAVE IT REPLACED! *TR

DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON, THEN GOES OFF. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVEN WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE IS WARM. THIS IS A SCARY THING NOT KNOWING IF THE AIR BAG IS GOING TO SHOOT OUT WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. MY KIDS DRIVE THIS ENVOY XL, AND TO THINK THAT THEY MAY GET HURT NOT BY ANOTHER DRIVER BUT BY THE VEHICLE THEY ARE DRIVING. THIS IS LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE. DO SOMEONE HAVE TO GET HURT BEFORE YOU FIX THIS. *TR

MALFUNCTIONING OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIAGNOSED BY DEALER. *TR

THE TACHOMETER STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY SHOWING SURGES IN THE ENGINE RPM. THIS PROBLEM CAME AND WENT AND NOW, FEBRUARY 2009, THE SPEEDOMETER IS DOING THE SAME THING. I WAS DOING 90 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM ON GM VEHICLES AND THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING IT. THEY ARE LEAVING IT TO THE OWNER TO PAY A DEALER $600 OR MORE FOR REPAIRS. *TR

THE SIDE-MIRRORS, PARTICULARLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, MOVED TO DIFFERENT POSITIONS EVEN WITH ALL CURB PARKING FEATURES DISABLED. THE HAPPENED WITH ALMOST EVERY USE. 2. THE SPEEDOMETER GAVE FALSE READINGS AND FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON OR SPEED. IT MAY BE PEGGED AT 120 WHILE AT IDLE. IT WILL RANDOMLY RESET OR FAIL FREQUENTLY.*AK

EVERY TIME YOU EXIT THE VEHICLE AND CLOSE THE DOOR OR TOUCH ANY THING THAT IS METAL AFTER EXITING THE CAR YOU GET SHOCKED....SPARKS FLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEDAY I WILL BE PUMPING GAS AND ONE OF MY CHILDREN IS GOING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND TOUCH SOMETHING AND SPARK AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. *NM

THE 2003 ENVOY WE PURCHASED GAVE US NUMEROUS PROBLEMS, INCLUDING A NUMBER OF THE ONES OTHER OWNERS MENTIONED HERE, LIKE THE GLASS LIFTGATE THAT DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, BUT ESPECIALLY THE OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS THAT MOVE ON THEIR OWN NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY SERVICE TECHNICIANS. THEY DO NOT STAY IN THE POSITION WE SET THEM IN, AND THE FUEL TANK LEAKING IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WELL AS INHALING FREON BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTIONING A/C SYSTEM. WHY IS GMC DOING NOTHING TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS? I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS SEEING THAT SO MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET SOME HELP?*AK

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS FROM THE REAR WINDOWS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN ALLOWING THE WINDOW TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS A BAD TIME SUCH AS IN A STORM. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE REGULATOR. THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES FOR FAILURE TO WORK PROPERLY. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD TWICE. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH WOULD SHUT OFF AFTER YOU TRIED TO PUT IT BACK INTO 2-WHEEL DRIVE. THE DEALER REPLACED A FAULTY SWITCH. SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO CRAZY. NOW, THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY YARD AND WILL NOT START. WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWS THAT THERE IS 40 POUNDS OF OIL PRESSURE AND THE MPH IS 90 AND THE CAR IS NOT EVEN RUNNING. THE DIC SAYS THAT THE BRAKE...
