2004 GMC ENVOY Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2004 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied, the contact noticed that the front passenger's door was on fire. The contact stated that he arrived home just in time and noticed the fire. The contact stated that, because it was raining, the contact's wife had powered the window up; however, the contact noticed that the window was down when the fire occurred. In addition, the contact stated that the fire was blazing, and after the fire was extinguished, the smoke was still visible. The contact extinguished the fire. The contact disconnected the battery. In addition, the contact stated that it could have been a huge fire because the fuel tank had just been refilled prior to the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure....

Headlight's,taillight's,turn signals stop working whenever they want.It's pretty scary to lose your headlight's when your driving at night.There's nothing i can do about it,except to sit wherever it happend and wait for them to come back on.My wife was following me one day and told me my brakelight's and turn signal stopped working and started to work again,she said this happened a couple time's at the same red light.There a couple of thing's (electrical)inside the vehicle that don't work anymore but i really dont care about them.To get the odometer to work i have to knock pretty hard on the plastic cover that cover's the instrument cluster,sometimes it stay's on,most of the time it wont stay on.The DIC (driver control center) doesn't work anymore.I cant even get to it.The speakers on the left side of the vehicle dont work anymore.I thought i would tell you about the inside also because...

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE SEAT HEATER. THE VEHICLE PARKED AND TURNED OFF. IT WAS PARKED IN A HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN SCHOOL. WE CONTACTED GMC, BUT THEY SAID IT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WENT WRONG FOR IT TO JUST CATCH FIRE. CAN YOU HELP US IN ANYWAY AT ALL.

MY DASH PANEL GAUGES BEGAN FAILING ONE BY ONE. MY HEADLIGHTS WILL SOMETIMES NOT COME ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON AUTO. A FLICK OF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN AND OFF, DOES NOT MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON. SOMETIMES THEY COME ON AFTER DRIVING AROUND, AND THEN WILL GO OFF WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SWITCH. NOW, MY SIDE BRAKELIGHTS WILL NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. ONLY THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE TAILGATE LATCH AND MOTOR FAILED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TAILGATE MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR FAILED TO INFLATE THE AIR BAGS EVENLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO W-K CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC (LOCATED AT 3310 W BROADWAY BLVD, SEDALIA, MO 65301, (660) 826-8320), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE ABS LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER THE FACT I HAD THE BREAKS SERVICED A FEW YEARS AGO. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. NOW MY BREAK LIGHT STOPPED WORKING, I REPLACED THE FUSE AND STILL NOT WORKING AND NOW THE HEADLAMPS STOPPED WORKING. THEY ONLY WORK ON HIGH BEAM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. UPON ENTERING AND STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED A READING OF 45 TO 90 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER DISPLAYED A READING OF 1 1/2 RPMS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MOSTLY DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BATTERY CHARGING ALERT DISPLAYED INCORRECTLY AS WELL AS THE FUEL GAUGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED INCORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT MALFUNCTIONING MAGNETS AND THE CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDED REPLACEMENT. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STOPPED THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING. THERE WERE UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO FAILING TO START. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A CABLE DISCONNECTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JESSUP AUTO PLAZA (68-111 E PALM CANYON DR, CATHEDRAL CITY, CA 92234, (760) 328-9999). THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,338.

NOTHING BUT THIS HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I BOUGHT FOR THAT DEALERSHIP. GUY FROM TODD WENZEL GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN. I HAD JUST BACK INTO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SHE'S JUST USED TO GOING EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND YOUR IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE ITSELF IT CUTS OUT CAR SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING BURNING I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND I STILL OWE ON IT I LIKE TO REPORT TODD WENZEL BUICK TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU THEY'RE LOUSY PEOPLE THANK YOU ALSO SENT ALL THIS INFORMATION GMC AND HAVE NOT GOT ANYWHERE

DASHBOARD AND GAUGES KEPT MALFUNCTION SPEED ODOMETER READING INCORRECT HAD TO REPLACE ALSO REAR DOOR BURNED OUT VERY COSTS VERY HIGH.

AC PLUG TO FAN MOTOR BURNT/MELT, DAYLIGHT/HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS MELTED MULTIPLE TIMES HAD THEM REPLACED 3 TIMES EACH SIDE... CLUSTER/ RADIO/AC LIGHTS BURNING OUT LIGHTS OUT ON DIFFERENT AREAS FROM ILLUMINATION TO GAGES TO RADIO AND AC CONTROL BUTTON LIGHTS HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING SO DID CLUSTER, RADIO AND AC LIGHTS HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED BY DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BACK IN 2013 OVER CLUSTER SHORTENING, HAD MY RADIO REPLACED AS WELL BY DEALER SAME TIME

I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY TAIL LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING IN WAS HEADED TO IDAHO DUE TO THAT IM STILL IN NORTH DAKOTA ALSO LIKE A MONTH AGO I WAS PULLED OVER IN THE CITY FOR NO BACK LIGHTS IT'S HAPPEN 4 OR 5 TIMES TWO ON A 15 HOUR ROAD TRIP.TAILGATE HAS OPEN TWICE ONCE IN CITY AND ON HIGHWAY NOW IT DOESN'T SHUT AT ALL ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS NOW AND IT STARTED TO NOT WANT TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE ROOF PART AS WELL IT SOUND AS IF ITS JAM.I WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY AND PUBLIC AS WELL.

CLUSTER WANT POWER UP PROPERLY AT START UP. WARNING LIGHTS GIVE FALSE INFORMATION. AND NOW RADIO SOMETIMES WANT PLAY CORRECTLY. AC FAN WANT WORK ON ALL SPEEDS ALSO AT TIMES. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND THERE WAS ONE 03V096000 BUT IT DID NOT COVER MY YEAR. YOU CAN GET DIFFERENT DISPLAYS GIVING BAD INFORMATION ON EVERY START UP.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A TWO WAY HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THE GAS PEDAL LOST RESISTANCE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE WAS STEERED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STEERED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, CHECK ENGINE AND OTHER DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING CHAOTICALLY. WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN A SHORT TIME, WHITE SMOKE TURNED INTO BLACK SMOKE AND THEN FLAMES STARTED TO APPEARS. THE FIRE UNDER THE HOOD EVENTUALLY CONTINUED TO GROW UNTIL IT COMPLETELY BURNED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT MOST OF THE FIRST TWO ROWS OF THE INTERIOR BEFORE THE FIREMEN ARRIVED AND WERE ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.

ONE DAY MY SUNROOF WORKED AND THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT. IT WAS STUCK IN THE IN THE OPEN POSITION (NOT FULLY OPEN, BUT WHEN THE FRONT END RAISES AN INCH OR SO). I TOOK IT TO A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A WHOLE NEW ASSEMBLY AND QUOTED ME $2,100. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS DEFECT AT ALL. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS ONLY WORTH $5,000 AND I PAID OVER $14,000 FOR IT IN 2009 WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM A GM DEALERSHIP. I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE $2,100 ON THIS VEHICLE. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE THAT I HAVE HAD. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THEY FIXED THAT. THEN A YEAR LATER, WHEN I...

PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING GARAGE SO I KNOW THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING WHEN WE WENT IN. AS WE WERE LEAVING APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS LATER, THE LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL. HAD TO RUN HIGH BEAMS; HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE LOOK AT THE FUSES, REPLACED BULBS, ETC. BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER JUST BEFORE I WAS TAKING IT TO A DEALER TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM THE LOW BEAMS BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED ONLY THIS TIME I HEARD A FAINT NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SMELLED A BURNING (SEEMED ELECTRICAL) AROMA FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I REALIZED THE LOW-BEAM LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AGAIN. AFTER A WEEK OR SO THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AGAIN. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS AND HAD MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE NEW. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE AT 75000 MILES. NOW DOOR LOCKS INTERMITTENT. WON'T OPEN OR LOCK BY REMOTE. REAR WIPER GOES OUT WHEN DOOR LOCKS STOP. REAR DOOR LOCK OUT ALSO. CAN LOCK DOORS FROM INSIDE AND MANUALLY LOCK DRIVER DOOR BUT REAR HATCH WILL STAY UNLOCKED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT AT A MALL OR EVEN IN MY DRIVEWAY. SOMEONE COULD ENTER MY VEHICLE AND HURT SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY WHEN LOCKS ARE OUT. IN MY DRIVEWAY THEY COULD GET ACCESS TO MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER AND ENTER MY HOUSE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REMOVE MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER EVERYTIME I ENTER MY HOME. I THINK THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. I'M RETIRED AND CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR. I'VE SEEN THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT NO FIX FROM GM....

VEHICLE IS STUCK IN PARK, ON THE DASH BOARD IT SHOW THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, TACH GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY. TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. FORWARD AIR VENTS DO NOT WORK ALL. *TR

STOPPED AT STREET LIKE, LIGHT WENT GREEN STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AND CAR GOES DEAD. NO LIGHTS ON DASH, NOTHING SHOWING, JUST STOPS ABRUPTLY. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS TRIED RESTARTING CAR AND IT CAME BACK ON WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. P0606 PCM FAILURE CODE DISPLAYED. COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BY SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME OR KILLED IF I WAS TRYING TO TURN LEFT AT INTERSECTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH MY SPEEDOMETER NOT SHOWING THE CORRECT SPEED FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IT HAS NOW REACHED A POINT TO WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ONE AND THE TACH ONLY WORKS ONCE IN A WHILE. I ACTUALLY KNOW THREE PEOPLE WITHIN THE MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE RANGING FROM A 2003 TO A 2005 THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR INSTRUMENT PANELS. OF COURSE, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE BUT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPLACE THE IP (ALMOST $700) TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THE ISSUE. I ALSO KNOW OF A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WEBSITES WHERE YOU CAN SEND THE PANEL OFF AND THEY WILL REPLACE ALL OF THE...

I HAVE HAD AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE FOR WEEKS AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTO STORE AND HAD THEM PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER THE CODE READ SMALL EVAP LEAK SO I BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THAT DIDN'T WORK SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR IT TO BE CHECKED OUT AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. ON THE FIRST VISIT HE SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND CODES READ PO 442 & 445 ? SMALL/LARGE EMISSION LEAK, HE CHECKED ALL COMPONENTS AND COULD FIND NOTHING. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AS THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE WAS GETTING WORSE AND THE GAS SMELL WAS STILL PRESENT THE SAME CODE CAME UP FOR THE EMISSION/EVAP LEAK AND STILL NOTHING FOR THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE. HE THEN DID A SMOKE TEST AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS...

I HAVE BEEN READING MANY OF THESE POST. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE ALSO HAPPENED TO MY ENVOY. I HAVE HAD MY BACK WINDOW BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING, THANK GOD THAT BOTH OF MY KIDS THAT WERE IN THE BACK SEAT WERE NOT HURT, THEY WERE JUST SCARED AND STILL ASK IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I ALSO RECENTLY JUST HAD TO HAVE A PIECE ON THE GAS LINE FIXED WHICH WAS ALMOST $900.00 MONEY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE AND HAD TO BORROW. I AM STILL PAYING IT BACK. NOW AS FOR LAST NIGHT MY LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING, I BOUGHT NEW BULBS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO IT IS BACK TO THE MECHANIC. OH AND I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT GOES ON AND OFF. THEY REALLY NEED TO GET ON ALL OF THESE THINGS. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE CAR...

THE "CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT FLASHES FOLLOWED BY "LOW OIL PRESSURE" FOLLOWED BY "STOP ENGINE" AND THE ENGINE STALLS. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS THE AC HAS BEEN ON. SENT TO DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW. VERY SCARY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ANOTHER MOTORIST SAW SMOKE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE AND GOT VEHICLE STOPPED ON SIDE OF ROAD AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. CALLED FIRE DEPT AND POLICE. FIRE SPREAD THROUGH THE HEARER BOX INTO THE VEHICLE AND ACROSS DASH UNTIL IT BEGAN BURNING THE HEADLINER. FIRE DEPT PUT OUT FIRE BUT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON INSTRUMENT PANEL OF ANY PROBLEMS (ALL GAUGES SHOWING NORMAL READINGS). *TR

ONE DAY ALL MY GAUGES MAY WORK I MIGHT SHUT THE SUV OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND NO GAUGES WILL WORK (SPEED,OIL PRESSURE,BATTERY,GAS,ODOMETER,TACH) WHEN ONE WORKS THEY ALL WORK WHEN ONE DOESN'T WORK NONE OF THEM WORK AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY DO. *TR

LOCK COMPLETELY OUT OF BACK HATCH WIRE ACTS AS IF IT HAS A SHORT WHICH SHUTS THE WHOLE BACK DOWN I AM UNABLE TO USE MY REAR WIPER AT ALL INTERFERE WITH MY STEROE SHUTTING OF WHEN U TURN OFF ENVOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LOCKED COMPLETELY OUT OF THE REAR BOTTOM AND THE GLASS HATCH I DO NOT USE MY HATCH NOW BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE LOCKED OUT AGAIN IT HAS HAPPEN TWICE AND THIS NOT UNDER WARRANTY HAVE SEEN OTHE COMPLAINTS ONLINE DUE TO SAME ISSUES HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS ENVOY FOR 4 MONTHS AND TO BE HONEST I THINK IT MESSES WITH THE AIR I HAVE DUEL AIR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE GETS COLDER QUICKER THAN THE DRIVER AND NEVER SEEMED TO DO THIS UNTILL THE WIRES G STARTED MESSING UP IN THE REAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AND AS A RESULT, IT WAS PROVIDING AN ERRONEOUS FULL READING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 09/11/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS RAN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE FAILURE WITH THE GAS GAUGE. THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CONSUMER HAS ALSO RECEIVED A TICKET DUE TO THE ODOMETER READING A FALSE SPEED. UPDATED 09/13/2012 *JS

ENGINE STALLS WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND THE AIR CONDITIONER OR WIDOW DEFOGGER IS ON . I HAVE ALSO HAD POWER SURGING. I HAD TO REPLACE THE MAP SENSOR TWICE AND THE BRACKET AND IT IS STILL SHOWING BAD. I ALSO REPLACE THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE THERMOSTAT. ALSO THE WIPER ON THE REAR WILL NOT SPRAY ANY WATER OR WASHER. *TR

FUEL GAUGE VARIES WILDLY FROM EMPTY TO FULL . BAD PLACE TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON I, 95 IN THE FAST LANE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED A GMC ALL MY ADULT LIFE. THIS ENVOY HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS ....NOW THE GAUGES SEEM TO BE ALL SCREWED UP AND AFTER READING POST FROM ONLINE..I WILL NEED TO PUT MORE TIME AND MORE MONEY INTO THIS SUV. NOTHING LIKE DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT WORRIED ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW. I GO FROM SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR LOSING PRESSURE AND TURNING OFF, TO NOW EVERY TIME I GET INTO IT AND LEAVE MY HOUSE I HEAR THE DOOR BELL AND ALL MY PANELS SYMBOLS FLASH AND SHOWS NO GAS TO NO BATTERY LIFE.. I AM NOT PLEASED AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE A GM AGAIN..SO SAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN EMPTY READING AFTER REFUELING. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE OTHER GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 132,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE IN MY 2004 ENVOY DO NOT WORK. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HERE THE SPEEDOMETER IN MINE SOMETIMES READS OVER 100 MPH WHEN I MIGHT BE DOING 35MPH. MOST OF THE TIME IT JUST STAYS AT 0 SO I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING. THE GAS GAUGE JUST DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR AND FROM ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN GM SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE ANYWAY. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN BEFORE THE NTSB WILL GET BEHIND THE CAR OWNERS? ONE PERSON HERE SAID THAT GM ACTUALLY WON A LAWSUIT AND WAS COMPENSATED FOR THE FAULTY PARTS BUT DID NOT DO THE RECALL ON THE ENVOYS! *TR

FIRST MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED REGISTERING A SPEED FOLLOWED BY THE GAS GAUGE GOING OUT. MY RADIO GOES IN AND OUT (MORE OUT THAN IN), MY SUNROOF STARTED OPENING AND CLOSING ON ITS OWN WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF, AND THE ROOF LEAKS AROUND WHERE THE VISOR IS WHEN IT RAINS HARD. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS ADDRESSED BY SOMEONE AT GMC. *TR

STARTING SHORTLY AFTER ENVOY WAS BOUGHT I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW QUARTER TANK ONE, THEN AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND STARTING AGAIN IT WAS OUT OF FUEL AND THE LIGHT WAS ON. IN JULY 2011 THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WENT HIGH AND IT IS NOW PEGGED AND DOESN'T RESET. I ASKED DEALER ABOUT IT AND THERE WAS AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE JUST TO DIAGNOSE. JAN 2012 AND NOW SPEEDOMETER GAUGE DOES NOT RESET, IT IS STUCK AT 30 MPH AND GOES UP TO 85-90 WHEN DRIVING. AFTER RESEARCHING TODAY I SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, I NEVER RECEIVED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LETTER FROM GM, BECAUSE ENVOY WASN'T INCLUDED, BUT IT IS THE SAME ISSUES AS OTHER VEHICLE ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. PLEASE HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE DEFECTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INCLUDE THE FUEL AND THE SPEEDOMETER WERE NOT RESPONDING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND DETERMINED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,600. UPDATED 07/12/11 *BF UPDATED 3/22/12 *CN

SPEEDOMETER BEGIN STICKING ABOVE ZERO WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF. GRADUALLY, THE SPEEDO STUCK HIGHER AND HIGHER, UNTIL IT REMAINED PEGGED AND CEASED TO FUNCTION. SOON AFTER, ALL INSTRUMENTS IN THE PANEL SUCCESSIVE FAILED - INCLUDING FUEL GAUGE, TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE, AND BATTERY LEVEL... IT APPEARS TO BE AT THIS POINT A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. MOST WORRISOME, THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ INCORRECTLY AT ALL TIMES, IF THEY READ AT ALL. *TR

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO READ THE INSTRUMENTATION BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

THE CLUSTER GAUGE QUIT WORKING. FIRST THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED READING THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. SECOND, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER QUIT READING. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. CURRENTLY OUT OF THE ENTIRE CLUSTER GAUGE SYSTEM THE BATTERY METER IS THE ONLY GAUGE THAT WORKS. *TR

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...

THE TEMP GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING IN THE CORRECT TEMP RANGE. THE TEMP NEEDLE IS EITHER IN THE OVERHEATING POSITION (RED AREA) OR TOTALLY PAST THE MAX TEMP ON THE GAUGE, ALMOST SPINNING LIKE A COMPASS. BECAUSE OF THIS FALSE READING I PULLED MY VEHICLE OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE, THINKING THE ENGINE NEEDED TO COOL DOWN. THIS WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GMC REFUSES TO REPLACE OR FIX THE GAUGE IF VEHICLE MILEAGE IS OVER 70,000. GAUGES , OIL,WATER TEMP, ETC, ARE IN VEHICLES TO ASSIST THE DRIVER WITH THEIR DRIVING AND FOR SAFETY REASONS AND SHOULD LAST A LOT MORE THAN 6 YEARS. PULLING OVER ON A HIGHWAY SHOULD ONLY BE DONE FOR AN EMERGENCY, NOT BECAUSE OF A FALSE...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND DISPLAYED ZERO. THE OIL GAUGE ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING BEYOND THE EIGHTY PRESSURE MARK AND STAYED IN THAT POSITION. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE CLUSTER PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASED INTERMITTENTLY BUT IT DID NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

2004 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER/INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILURE. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND NOW HAS FAILED. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD MULTIPLE LAW SUITS FILED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER IN DIFFERENT STATES. WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY IS MY VEHICLE (WHICH IS KNOWN BY GM TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM) NOT INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT (THE SETTLEMENT IN INCLUDED OTHER GMC, CHEVROLET AND CADILLAC VEHICLES)? IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWN TO ME BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE IT HAPPENED. ON THIS SITE ALONE THERE ARE MORE THAN 52 COMPLAINTS JUST FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS IT NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THANK YOU. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WAS KINDA STICKING/JUMPY BUT NOW STAYING AROUND 85 TO 120. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 ENVOY SLE 4X4 AND I HAVE BEEN HAVE THE PROBLEM OF IT STALLING AND IT WON'T START DO TO IGNITION PROBLEM.I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO CALL IN SO THEY COULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM THAT US PEOPLE ARE HAVE WITH THE IGNITION AND STALLING AT LIGHTS OR JUST DRIVING AND WILL NOT START IN DRIVEWAY..PLEASE CALL IN 1-800-263-3777 AND TELL THEM THAT YOUR HAVE IGNITION PROBLEMS ALSO,THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN GET SOMETHING DONE SO PLEASE CALL [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

1. 2004 GMC ENVOY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONING ON AND OFF. 2. ONGOING SINCE OCTOBER 2008. ALL GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL SUDDENLY STOP/START FUNCTIONING FOR VARYING LENGTHS OF TIME. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE DRIVING SPEED, GAS FUEL LEVEL, AND BATTERY STATUS LEADING TO OBVIOUS AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. 3. OWNER CURRENTLY SEEKING FINANCIAL RELIEF FROM GMC AND US GOVERNMENT FOR RECALL TO HAVE FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED AT NO COST TO CONSUMER. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ISSUES IN 2004 GMC ENVOY,. HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLICKER DIM TO BRIGHT. OCCURS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD VERY SPORADIC. DIAGNOSTIC STATED FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. ISSUE IF NOT FIXED, THE VEHICLE COULD STALL WHEN DRIVING AND LOSE POWER. MINE HAS STARTED LOOSING POWER AND STALLING. FAULTY SPEEDOMETER INACCURATE, WILL GO PAST 120MPH OR STAY ON ZERO, WHY NO RECALL ON THESE ITEMS GM IS AWARE OF THIS BUT AS OF TODAY NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 63,000MI. ON IT STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL BURY THE NEEDLE PAST 120MPH OR STAY ON ZERO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. HAVING BEEN A TRUCK DRIVER FOR OVER 20 YRS. AND UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE AND SAFETY OF SPEED CONTROL, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL. *TR
