2005 GMC ENVOY Electrical System Problems

1) I just purchased the vehicle in Oct 2026 & 3 days after purchase, it broke down in Walmart parking lot due to, all the antifreeze pouring out. 2) December 2026 had to replace the front tires as they were stripped to the threads from rubbing against the fender wells. 3) January 2026 Wouldn’t start, wouldn’t turn over or anything. Had the ignition replaced. Ran fine for one week. 4) Currently won’t start. Broke down.

On steering wheel where the GMC logo is . Melted/Melting from underneath. Some type of clear color gooey. Have been told it is seal for airbag. Also none of the chimes are not working at all example * seat belts, door,blinkers,dashboard chimes *dummy lights*,along with Bose stereo. Last issues are REAR VIEW MIRROR... KEEPS FALLING OFF. have taken to dealership SEVERAL TIMES! Now they are saying that I need to contact my auto insurance provider to put in claims.

The driver side window control caught fire, while the vehicle was sitting overnight. It was sitting by itself without reason to catch fire, but it did burn inside the driver side door.

Unknown All the cluster panels quite working. RPM, Speed, Oil, Water, Gas shows always empty. Danger because have to guess my speed and never know if I have enough gas, oil, or water in my car. Also sometimes when I shut off my car I cannot get the key out of the steering column. Cannot leave my car without my keys.

The contact owned a 2005 GMC Envoy. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH the entire dashboard illuminated and needles on gauges had begun to move independently. The contact heard an abnormal "popping" sound from the front end of the vehicle and gray smoke was emitted from under the hood, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to pull off of the roadway and placed the vehicle into park (P) with difficulty. The contact exited the vehicle and moved away towards the rear end. The contact stated that she noticed flames under the vehicle located at the front end. The contact stated that within 3 minutes of observing the flames under the vehicle, the entire front end became engulfed by flames. The police and fire department arrived on the scene. The contact stated that the fire department used a chemical to extinguish the flames, the contact stated that the...

I purchased my vehicle in oct of 2021 in Nov 2021 is when my car started failing my car started to lose power also started smoking from the lower passenger side no warning lights came on besides the oil warning light since Nov 2021 my car has been losing power it only goes up to about 40 m.p.h I have been smelling fuel coming from some where my tail and license plate light and back driver side inside car light stopped working the engine light turns on and off the steering wheel makes the car lose a little bit of power when I turn the wheel or when I roll up and down the windows or adjust my seat my ac does not work the back ac turns on by it's self to the heater does not work when I have it turned all the way to the 5 I...

All the gages have stopped working correctly. They do not report proper information to driver . The electrical wiring to the rear wiper, license plate lights and rear hatch stopped working. The most dangerous thing is the ABS brake system dash lights and bell comes on every time the car is driven and the brake pedal goes to the floor when trying to stop.

WHILE DRIVING IN A 40 MPH ZONE I GLANCED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT READ 70 MPH! I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN BEFORE I REALIZED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATION WAS INACCURATE. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE RESUMING NORMAL OPERATION. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTICED THE GAUGE "STICKING" WHEN LETTING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CREATING AN UN-SAFE CONDITION FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE SPEED INDICATION IS TRULY ACCURATE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER GM MODELS MADE DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER DECLINED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE GAS GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. THERE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER COMES ON BY ITSELF. THE RADIO PLAYS LIKE IT IS IN A TIN BOX. EVERY SO OFTEN IT WILL PLAY NORMAL. BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS MOVING OR IN PARK.

FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY & FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN VEHICLE RUNNING IN MOTION OR STATIONARY

I HAD JUST DROVE MY TRUCK THE NIGHT BEFORE HEADLIGHTS WORKED FINE. I WENT TO LEAVE THE NEXT NIGHT AND NO HEADLIGHTS AT ALL. SO VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I REALIZED I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS ON AT NIGHT. I HAVE NO REGULAR HEADLIGHTS AT ALL. THEN MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW JUST QUIT WORKING AS WELL.

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL HAS THE SAME RECALLED MASTER WINDOW SWITCH UNITS AS OTHER RECALLS, BOTH SIDES FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS BURNT WITH A BAD SMELL AS I WAS DRIVING. WHY? WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHEN EVERYTHING IS THE SAME AS OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES ?? I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL WITH NOWHERE TO PULL OVER FOR A FEW MILES IN GREAT PANIC WITH CARS GOING PAST ME AT 65 MPH PLUS AS I WAS BEING CAUTIOUS TO GET TO AN EXIT SO I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WAS THE DOOR SWITCH SO I LIFTED IT OUT OF THE DOOR AND UNPLUGGED IT SO I COULD CONTINUE MY TRIP. SCARY SITUATION . PLUS MY MECHANIC CAN'T GET THE ANSWER IF JUST REPLACING THE SWITCH WILL MAKE IT WORK OR DOES IT NEED PROGRAMMED...

SUV DIES AND WON'T START BACK UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. I WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH ON A FIVE LANE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE JUST DIED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND IT COULDN'T BE DIAGNOSED.

MY SEAT COVERS WERE ORIGINALLY CLOTH BUT AT TIME OF PURCHASE THEY WERE REPLACED WITH LEATHER SEAT COVERINGS AND THERE IS RECALL #06V417000 HAS ME VERY CONCERNED.

I'VE HAD MY 2005 ENVOY FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND HAD MY HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND FREWAY. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AY NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY FOR A FEW SECONDS. I WAS SO SCARED WSS REALLY GLAD FOR NO ONE BEHIND ME OR ON COMING TRAFFIC. ON ANOTHER OCCASSION I HAD TO PULL OVER ON CITY STREET AS MY LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF AND I COULD SEE THE CAR AHEAD WAS A COP AND I DIDNT WANT HIM TO THINK I WAS FLASHING FOR HELP ESPECIALLY AT 2 IN THE MORNING. IVE ALSO HAD TO EXIT THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY LIGHTS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AND ON AND WASNT SURE IF THEY WOULD JUST GO OUT COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SINCE IT WAS NIGHT TIME I DIDNT WANT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED MORE THAN THREE TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR WAS PARKED FOR 10 MINUTES WHEN WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE INTERIOR UPON OPENING THE CAR DOOR WE REALIZED THE DASHBOARD WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT COMPARE TO MINE THE FUEL GAUGE, OIL GAUGES, AIR CONDITIONER ARE ALL MALFUNCTIONING IN MY CAR AND I'M VERY UPSET BECAUSE ALL OF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2005 AND I WILL NEVER BUY A GMC CAR AGAIN FOR THIS REASON IT'S ONE THING TO RECALL REPAIR PARTS THAT WERE BROKEN THAT TO REPAIR MALFUNCTION PARTS. VERY DISAPPOINTED. IN SHORT MY GAUGES DON'T WORK, MY AIR CONDITIONER ONLY WORKS ON ONE SIDE AND NOW MY HEADLIGHTS LOW BEAN DON'T WORK. GMC NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PANEL CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER READS 0 OIL PRESSURE GUAGE READS NO PRESSURE, ALL GUAGES READ 0, THEN SPEEDOMETER READS RANDOM SPEEDS.

PROBLEM WITH BOTH HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM MALFUNCTION; GOING ON AND OFF. PROBLEM STARTED ON 1/10/16 AND CONTINUES UNTIL TODAY DESPITE REPLACING BOTH HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM FUSES AND RELAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 GMC ENVOY MY SPEEDOMETER WILL STOP WORKING AND REGISTER AS 0 MPH EVEN WHEN I AM MOVING. IT ALSO HAS SHOWN ME TRAVELLING AT A MUCH HIGHER SPEED AT TIMES. THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS THAT I'VE FOUND WHILE SEARCHING THE WEB. IT IS UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS TO NOT KNOW THE SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING. I HAVE STARTED TO USE A GPS SYSTEM WHEN I DRIVE TO SHOW MY SPEED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER DARK AND MY LOW BEAMS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. I COULD ONLY GET MY HIGH BEAMS TO WORK. CURRENTLY ONLY ONE LOW BEAM IS WORKING AND THE OTHER WILL NOT WORK EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULB OR THE FUSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY HAVING A YOUNG CHILD. IT WAS VERY SCARY GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND HAVE YOUR LIGHTS COMPLETELY JUST GO OUT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH 06-07 ENVOYS BUT I WANTED GM TO BE MADE AWARE THAT 2005 MODELS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT FLICKERED AND FAILED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, WATER FROM THE RAIN ENTERED THE DOOR MODULE RESULTING IN A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V406000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REFUSED TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ODOMETER AND ALL THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS WENT TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN OVER THE YEARS. I TOOK IT TO TWO GMC CAR DEALERSHIPS AND THE FIRST ONE SAID IT WAS THE KILL SWITCH INSTALLED BY A BUY HERE PAY HERE DEALERSHIP. THE KILL SWITCH WAS REMOVED AND THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO FLICKER. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE CAR BEGAN TO TRIBBLE, AGAIN I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. I DID THAT AND BOUGHT A BATTERY BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. THE TOW DRIVER SAID IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND A SOLUTION. HAVE YOU HAD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE? NOT TO CONFUSE THE COMPLAINT, I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES....

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT AFTER A VERY SIMPLE WEB SEARCH A VAST NUMBER OF THESE GMC ENVOY VEHICLES. WHEN TRAVELING NORMALLY THE SPEEDOMETER DECIDES TO EITHER DROP ITS SPEED BY 20-30 MPH OR RAISE IT EVEN AS HIGH AS 120MPH. WHEN TRAVELING IN THE CITY OR HWY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT ZONES VARY RATHER FREQUENTLY AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER NATURALLY REACTS TO THE NEEDLE UNAWARE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTUALLY FAULTY. I HAVE THEREFORE BRAKED HARD TO REDUCE MY SPEED WHEN IN FACT I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. THAT CAN RESULT IN AN INSTANT TO A REAR END CRASH BASED ON NORMAL REACTIONS. GM OBVIOUSLY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE ON LINE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND INDEED THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR SIMILAR GM TRUCKS. THEY HOWEVER CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE ENVOY PROBLEM AND...

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR @ NIGHT WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND ALL THE GAUGES READ ZERO EXCEPT THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH, TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR WASN'T INDICATING WHAT GEAR I WAS IN & RADIO ALSO KILLED. HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS & DIRECTIONS WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL. I ONLY HAD A MILE TO DRIVE TO GET HOME. PARKED VEHICLE IN GARAGE AND SHUT OFF....ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT POWER LOCKS HAD FAILED AND I WAS LOCKED IN CAR, POWER WINDOWS WERE ALSO OUT! REMOVED KEY FROM IGNITION AND FORTUNATELY THE REMOTE KEY FOB UNLOCKED THE DOOR. HAD THIS BEEN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, I WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO EXIT THE CAR NOR WOULD ANY PASSENGERS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND ALL LIGHTS, ETC JUST TURNED OFF. I AM CONCERNED WONDERING IF PERHAPS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ENVOY IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL? NO, IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SERVICING OF THE SUV. I TAKE CARE OF THE VEHICLE AND I DON'T DRIVE 200 MILES A MONTH.

GMC ENVOY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. ALL POWER LOST. VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP JUST A FEW FEET BEFORE AN INTERSECTION. DEALER REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH, DUE TO "MULTIPLE CODES STORED IN THE ECM." IRONICALLY, ALMOST 2 YEARS PRIOR, SAME ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESS WAY. WE WERE LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED DURING THAT INCIDENT AS WELL. TWO IGNITION SWITCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE SAME VEHICLE OVER THE COURSE OF 2 YEARS. I'M SURPRISED THAT THIS VEHICLE ISN'T PART OF THE GM IGNITION RECALL! *TR

AT THE SAME TIME WHEN FUEL GAUGE IS WRONG, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE OFF. MANY TIMES FREEZING AT 35MPH WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH. AFTER MANY RESETS OF IGNITION, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL COME BACK. ALSO WHEN ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE, THE RADIO HAS NO AUDIO. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, THE RADIO WILL COME BACK AND WORK ON ONE SPEAKER. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS OUT. WHEN WEATHER IS WARMER, ALL 3 FUNCTIONS SEEM TO WORK REGULARLY. BELOW 50 DEGREES,...

THE FUEL SENSOR ON THIS VEHICLE FAILS PREMATURELY. *TR
