2005 GMC ENVOY Electrical System Problems

INITIALLY THE AMP GAUGE PEGGED OUT FOLLOWED WITHIN A MONTH BY THE SPEEDOMETER GIVING UP OR SOMETIMES READING 120 MPH WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD BE REPAIRED AT A COST OF ABOUT $600. NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THAT AT THE TIME, I INSTALLED A GPS UNIT SO I WOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF SPEEDOMETER. WITHIN 2 MOS. TIME THE CAR STALLED UPON TAKEOFF FROM A LIGHT WITH RINGING BELLS,THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS DIMLY LIT AND THE TACHOMETER BOUNCING FROM 500 TO 2500 RPMS WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STOPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT RE-START UNTIL THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF ONCE OR TWICE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT BRIGHTLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 65MPH. I'M TOLD GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A...

A RECALL HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED FOR GMC ENVOY. DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL SHORTS OUT AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE. RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2007 MODEL YEARS. MY CAR IS A 2005 AND THE DRIVER DOOR CONTROLS HAVE BEEN SHORTING OUT FOR ABOUT A YEAR. I HAVE NOT YET HAD A FIRE BUT WHY WAS MY MODEL YEAR NOT RECALLED AND WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO HAVE THIS MODEL YEAR INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY BOUGHT IN FEBRUARY OF 2011. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE FUEL GAUGE ONLY REGISTERS AS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE TANK. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING IN APRIL 2011. SHOWING EMPTY EVEN WHEN FULL. TOOK TO DEALER. MENTIONED I HEARD TRAILBLAZERS ALSO HAVING ISSUE. WAS TOLD NO RECALLS. HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. FINALLY GOT NOTICE CAN GET PORTION OF MONEY BACK. IT TOOK MONTHS TO GET PORTION OF MONEY BACK. I HAD TO KEEP FOLLOWING UP EVEN THOUGH THEY CONFIRMED THEY HAD MY PAPERWORK. STRIKE 1. HAD CAR IN FOR 100,000 MILE SERVICE, 9/24 - 9/25/2012, ONLY TO GO BACK LATER BECAUSE OF CAR SEEMING TO NOW HAVE ISSUES ACCELERATING AND CAR WAS NOT RESET AFTER OIL CHANGE. TOLD NEEDED ENGINE MOUNTS. DISPUTED THIS AS SEEMS STRANGE CAR WAS RUNNING AND SOUNDING FINE BEFORE 100K MILE SERVICE. WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH DEALER.TOOK CAR BACK TO HAVE MASTER TECH CHECK AND ALSO BECAUSE OIL GAUGE STUCK IN ONE SPOT. WENT IN 12/31/2012. WAS QUOTED REPAIR PRICE FOR OIL SENSOR AND NOW...

IN DECEMBER OF THIS PAST YEAR (2012) MY 2005 GMC ENVOY BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. I WOULD BE TRAVELING DOWN THE A BUSY ROAD AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BARLEY MOVING AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 80MPH. THE NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE ANYWHERE FROM 20 MPH ALL THE WAY UP TO 120 MPH AND PEG THERE. ONE OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL 0 MPH AND WORK NORMALLY, BUT NOW THAT IS AN EXTREMELY RARE OCCURRENCE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NO LONGER MEASURING MY SPEED, AND WAS STUCK ON 70MPH. THE NEEDLE REMAINED THERE, OCCASIONALLY LOWERING ITSELF IN 5MPH INCREMENTS AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, BUT THEN GETTING STUCK AGAIN WHEN DRIVING. THE NEEDLE GENERALLY BURIES ITSELF AT 120+ AND DOES NOT READJUST EVEN BY SMALL INCREMENTS ANYMORE. MY FUEL GAUGE IS ALSO NOT WORKING, READS ON E REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, I WONDER IF THESE TWO PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED? *TR

ELECTRICAL FIRE APPEAR TO HAVE STARTED UNDER DASH ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THR BLOWER MOTOR IS LOCATED. *TR

ALMOST DUSK, HIGH BEAMS WERE ON. THOUGHT I SAW A FLICKER. GOT BEHIND ANOTHER CAR AND SAW THAT IT WAS MY LIGHTS. LOOKED TO MY PANEL AND MY VOLTAGE WAS SWINGING BETWEEN 9 VOLTS UP TO 18-19 VOLTS. TURNED ALL POWER DRAW OFF EXCEPT MY LOW BEAMS. NEEDLE KEPT SWINGING AND LIGHTS KEPT FLASHING. WAS 6 MILES FROM HOME. I MADE IT. THERE WAS A DISCHARGE TO MY SYSTEM INSTEAD OF CONTINUEING TO CHARGE. TOOK TO DEALER. NOTHING FOUND. 11-6-2012 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED INBETWEEN ALSO. VERY INTERMITTANT. HAD BATTTERY & ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. ALWAYS GOOD. AFTER INCIDENTS, WORKS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME. NEVER HAPPENED IN SUMMER. ALWAYS WHEN COOLER WEATHER. NOW THAT IT IS DECEMBER, AFRAID TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. THERE MUST A BULLENTIN OR RECALL??? TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF MY CAR. ENGINE IS GOOD. ONLY 69,000...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. AFTER SOME TIME, SEVERAL OF THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD MALFUNCTIONED AS WELL. THE HEAD LIGHTS ALSO BEGAN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSIS BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY AFTER FILLING TANK. LIGHT & SOUND SENSORS INDICATE LOW FUEL LEVEL. FUEL MUST DRAIN SLOWLY INTO TANK OR GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF. ELECTRICAL DASH INDICATORS DO NOT WORK FOR A TIME AFTER FUELING SO CANNOT SET THE TRIP INDICATOR TO GAUGE THE MILEAGE TO A TANK OF GAS. FUEL ON OCCASION DOES NOT SHUT OFF AT THE GAS PUMP WHEN TANK IS FULL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER REPAIRED , GAS GAUGE GOES CRAZY, TACHOMETER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY LIGHTS DIM AND FLASH, WINDSHIELD HAS RECALL NEEDS REPLACED , GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM KEEPS FAILING. THREE RECALLS NEED TO BE REPLACED GMC ADMITS FAULT TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, NOTED ON WEBSITE SAFERCAR.GOV. WANT TO KNOW WHAT DEALER TO BRING MY CAR TO FOR REPAIRS. I AM A CANCER PATIENT WITH METASTATIC LIVER CANCER I HAVE THOUSAND OF DOLLARS WORTH OF MEDICAL, I CAN'T KEEP PAYING FOR THIS CAR TO BE REPAIRED WHEN GMC OWNS UP TO THE FACT THAT THESE DEFECTS ARE THEIR FAULT PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO TAKE THIS ENVOY FOR THEM TO FIX ALL THESE PROBLEMS THANK YOU *TR

HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM, THEN BRIGHTEN REPEATEDLY, AS TO APPEAR TO BE "FLASHING" OTHER DRIVERS. SHORTLY AFTER, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED. AFTER THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, A FEW DAYS LATER THE BATTERY GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING RIGHT. NOW, THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY JERKS, LIKE IT IS MISSING DUE TO LACK OF FUEL. CONTACTED GMC ON 11-09-2012. NO SOLUTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS PEGGED AT OVER 120MPH. WHEN I STOPPED IT WAS STILL PEGGED OVER 120 MPH. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE REPAIRS TO THE GAS GAUGE. I HAD JUST FILLED UP AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE ABNORMALLY AND THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXACT LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED FOR SOME TIME. IN ADDITION, THE SPEEDOMETER ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD COVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,224. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 12/11/12*LJ

THE GAS GAUGE WENT CRAZY. I FILLED UP MY TANK BUT THE GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING INCORRECT READINGS. IT JUMPS LEFT, AND RIGHT AT RANDOM TIMES, AND SOMETIMES REPORTS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT'S FULL. *TR

AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER GM CUSTOMERS MY VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FUEL GAUGE/SENDING UNIT FAILURE. IT BEGAN SLOWLY WITH MINOR INACCURACIES IN FUEL AMOUNT. THEN IT QUICKLY AND STEADILY GOT WORSE UNTIL THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO PAY THE FULL PRICE. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD FORCE THEM TO FULLY REPAIR THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT WHICH RENDERS THE DRIVER BLIND AS TO HOW MUCH FUEL THEY MAY HAVE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I'M BACK! YES HERE WE GO AGAIN A REPETITIVE ISSUE W/GMC HERE IT'S JULY 20012 AND YET NO REPLY FROM GMC OR DEALERSHIP ON MY CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH ALL GAUGES LOCATED ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SURE REIMBURSED PARTIALLY FOR CHARGES REPLACING FUEL SENSOR BUT NOTIFIED TO CONTACT DEALER WHERE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED BUT NO RETURN CALLS FROM GMC AND THE SO WHAT DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY CALL THEIR ESTABLISHMENT. THIS WAS ONLY ONE OF MANY PROBLEMS. GAUGES FLUCTUATE SPEEDOMETER, RPM, FUEL, BATTERY, WATER TEMP JUST SAY ALL THE [XXX] GAUGES SUCK. HOW DOES GMC GUARANTEE TODAY TRY ARE VEHICLES TODAY IF NOT SATISFIED BRING THEM BACK BS WHY NOT TAKE ALL THESE GMC ENVOYS FROM 2003-2008 BACK OR BETTER YET RESOLVE OUR ISSUES. STRONGLY I FEEL LET'S ALL UNITE & FILE A MAJOR LAW SUIT AGAINST GMC FOR HARDSHIP, FALSE INFORMATION, DEFECTIVE PRODUCT SOLD, STRESS, ANGER MAYBE THEY WILL ADDRESS OUR ISSUES...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO DISPLAY AN ACTUAL SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,400.

WHILE DRIVING SPEED CONTROL GOES BACK AND FORTH. ALSO WHEN COME TO STOP IT STAYS STUCK? FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT PROPERLY DISPLAY CORRECT AMOUT OF FUEL IN TANK. *TR

FUEL GAUGES IS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULL OF GASOLINE. ODOMETER IS NOT READING THE CORRECT SPEED. TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS MALFUNCTIONING. ON GOOGLE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IS WIDELY KNOWN. WHAT IS GMC DOING TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES? THE TAX PAYERS HELP BAIL OUT GMC AND NOW WE ARE NOT BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY WHERE IS OUR JUSTICE? PLEASE HELP, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT STOP WIPING WHEN CONTROL IS MOVED TO STOP. MUST STOP VEHICLE, TURN IGNITION OFF IN ORDER TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT SINCE I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AND THE LETTER STATED NOT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER UNLESS YOU CURRENTLY HAD THE PROBLEM. AS OF A WEEK AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I FUELED UP UNTIL THE TANK WAS FULL AND THE GAUGE READS AS IF THE TANK IS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IN ADDITION THE SPEEDOMETER HAS IS HAVING ISSUES NOW AS WELL. IT STICKS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THEN JUST GOES TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY GPS I WOULD HAVE NO CLUE WHAT RATE OF SPEED I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR FOR THE FUEL GAUGE WILL...

REPEAT PROBLEMS SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AT DEALERS. AIR /O2 SENSORS DEFECTIVE/REPLACED. DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP/FUEL SENSOR/ELECTRONIC GAS GAUGE; FLICKERING/DIMMING HEADLIGHTS; FREEZING/INABILITY TO CONTROL DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND CONTROLS. 1/4 OF FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS OUT; DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CONTROL LIGHTING 1/4 OUT; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW FUEL LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1997. TIE RODS BOTH REPLACED AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT SWAY BARS. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING VEHICLE PURCHASE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY GO OFF. I WOULD CALL ONSTAR AT WHICH POINT I WAS TOLD TO TAKE CAR IN FOR REPAIR W/I 7-10 DAYS (OFTEN TOLD A PROBLEM W/POWERTRAIN OR TRANSMISSION) . AT DEALERS SERVICE DEPT, TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN AFTER TONS OF WORRY, CONCERN AND TIME SPENT, THAT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS CAR TENDS TO TRIP/TRIGGER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY WOULD JUST RESET IT SO AFTER AWHILE, I BEGAN TO DISREGARD THE LIGHT AS I...

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING EMPTY CONTINUOUSLY AS I HAVE READ FROM MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. AT FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO, AT WHICH TIME THE MESSAGE IN ON THE LCD READING SAID "STOP ENGINE" AND "OIL PRESSURE LOW". I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY GAS STATION AND CHECKED THE OIL, WHICH WAS ONLY DOWN A 1/4 TANK. MY MECHANIC STOPPED THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE RESET ITSELF BUT ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS ANOTHER SENSOR PROBLEM LIKE THE FUEL SENSOR BUT IS NOT COMPLETELY SURE. I ONLY STARTED WITH THIS ISSUE TODAY BUT IT IS MORE WORRISOME TO ME THAN KEEPING TRACK OF HOW...

GASOLINE AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES STOP WORKING SUDDENLY ON A GMC ENVOY 2005. *TR

I WAS GETTING MY TANK FILLED WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE PEGGED OUT PAST FULL, THEN BOUNCED DOWN TO EMPTY. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES THEN WENT BACK TO FULL. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUED TO BOUNCE AROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE KNEW IF WE HAD ENOUGH GAS WAS TO FILL IT AND USE THE TRIP METER. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS CEASED TO MOVE AT ALL SINCE APRIL 2011. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL SINCE THE INCIDENT. I LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT IT IS A MAJOR PAIN TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WHEN 3 PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD RELY ON IT. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, ONLY TO LEARN THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I PRICED A NEW CLUSTER AND IT WAS OVER $500. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE STILL HAVE...

INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS INCORRECTLY. AT FIRST IT WOULD SHOW HALF TANK OR MORE WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS LESS GAS. NOW THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. THE AUDIBLE FUEL WARNING FOR LOW FUEL ALSO RINGS CONSTANTLY. AFTER RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE REPAIR WAS TOO COSTLY. WE WERE HOWEVER CHARGED A $100 FEE JUST FOR THE GMC DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. WE NOW TRACK FUEL USING THE TRIP COMPUTER. LOOK ONLINE FOR SOME HELP I WAS AMAZED TO FIND OUT THAT MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE AND ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS REGULARLY BLINK IN AND OUT ON MY 2005 ENVOY. THERE HAVE EVEN BEEN TIMES WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON FOR NO KNOWN REASON. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS. SCARY STUFF! PLUS, I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. ONE FELLOW SAID HE TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. RECALL - AND NOW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY HUSBAND WAS LAID OFF FROM HIS JOB AND WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE 1/2 THAT GM IS OFFERING TO FIX THE THING IN THEIR RECALL. IF THEY KNEW IT WAS A FAILURE OF THEIR EQUIPMENT WHY ARE THEY NOT PAYING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT? *TR

THE FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF THE PORT TO CHECK ENGINE CODE DOES NOT WORK. THE INSIDE COURTESY LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ONE BACK UP LIGHT WILL NOT WORK THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT GETS NO POWER AND WON'T WORK. ONLY 3 OF THE 5 SPEED SETTINGS ON THE FAN WORK. GMC DEALER SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING, AND THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THESE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER I AM ABLE TO FIND THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN VARIOUS CONSUMER SITES. GMC WON'T EVEN RETURN MY CALLS. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY XL HAS SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE BATTERY AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES ARE READING OFF THE SCALE PAST THEIR MAXIMUM READINGS. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT AND THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAGE SENSOR FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 131,000.

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING 8 MONTHS AGO, TOOK TO GMC DEALER FOR SERVICE ESTIMATE. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THESE FUEL GAUGES ALWAYS GO OUT ON ENVOYS AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS $578.00 (PLUS TAX) - I CHOKED AND DID NOT GET REPAIRED. 3 MONTHS LATER AFTER TRYING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FUEL GAUGE - IT BECAME A NIGHTMARE TO KNOW IF WE HAD GAS IN THE VEHICLE OR NOT, I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID "WE SEE THIS FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM ALL THE TIME ON THE ENVOYS"... THEY SAID THE GMC PARTS WERE A RIP-OFF AND EXPENSIVE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO USE GMC PARTS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE AND THEY QUOTED $408.00 (PLUS TAX) FOR THE REPAIR. THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE REPAIR SHOP SAID HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE NOT HAD A RECALL ON THIS SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN...

THE WIPERS WERE THE FIRST TO GO. THAT NEEDED A CONTROL MODULE. THE TOUCH PADS FOR THE TAIL GATE WERE NEXT. FIRST THE DROP DOWN THEN THE SWING. THEN THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR INSIDE HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. THEN THE LEFT SIDE REAR DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE DOESN'T WORK. THEN THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DOESN'T WORK. THEN THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. NOW THE PASSENGER'S WINDOW DOESN'T OPEN. 5TH SPEED ON THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH GMC? THAT IS A HIGH END VEHICLE AND AS SUCH SHOULD NOT BE PLAGUED WITH SUCH PROBLEMS. *KB

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES IN 2006. WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR THE CLUSTER PANEL (GAUGES) STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPAIR AS THE ENTIRE CLUSTER PANEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVE AND REPLACED. AFTER TALKING WITH CO-WORKERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM; I LATER DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT YOU HAD TO BE THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING THE CLUSTER PANEL REPAIRED, MY GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I AM TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED FOR REPAIR AND THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE EITHER. THE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO IS NON-OPERATIONAL. THIS...

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT ACCURATELY RECORD THE SPEED WHILE TRAVELING FOR MY 2005, GMC, ENVOY, SLT MODEL. IT WILL INDICATE THAT I AM TRAVELING 20 MPH OR EVEN 0 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND SEEMS TO INCREASE MY RPMS WHILE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL TICKETS AS I CAN NOT PERSONALLY TRACK HOW FAST/SLOW I AM GOING WHILE DRIVING. THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENS EVERYDAY. MY OIL GAUGE IS ALSO UNABLE TO READ, IT NEVER MOVES AND READS UNDER THE START OF THE METER (SOUTH) AT ALL TIMES, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT STARTED. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 78 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BE CITED BY A POLICE OFFICER FOR SPEEDING. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS NOT REPLACED; HOWEVER, HE NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SPEEDOMETER FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AND OTHER GM VEHICLES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO DISPLAY IMPROPER READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS RESET. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ONE DAY MY OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND EVENTUALLY EVERY GAUGE IN MY PANEL STOPPED WORKING. THIS ALL STARTED AROUND NOV OF 2008. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I CHECKED ALL FUSES, BULBS AND WIRING. NOW TWO DAYS AGO MY HEAD LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON LOW BEAM. NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY FOUND HUNDREDS OF ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND NOW KNOW IT IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. EST COST FOR THE PART ONLY $570. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE READING ON THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. GAUGE MOSTLY READS EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL SHOW THERE IS MORE GAS THAN IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK BEFORE HEADING OUT OF TOWN ON 4/22/11, FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY. GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY FOR THE PAST WEEK NOW. NEWS REPORT OF NHTSA INVESTIGATION MADE ME AWARE THAT I COULD REPORT THIS SOMEWHERE. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAS ALSO BEEN ACTING SIMILARLY ERRATIC, STARTING A FEW DAYS BEFORE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING.

SPEEDOMETER JUMPS FROM 120 TO WHEREVER. CAN NEVER TELL HOW FAST OR SLOW I'M GOING. NEVER DISPLAYS CORRECT SPEED. OIL PRESSURE GAGE GOES UP AND DOWN. ALSO, HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. HAD TO TAKE TO MECHANIC TO REDO WIRING FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AFTER FILL UP. MOVES FROM EMPTY, TO 1/2 FULL, TO 1/4 FULL TO EMPTY, BACK TO 1/4 FULL, BACK TO EMPTY. I CAN'T DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS IN MAY TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ENVOY AND CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. THERE IS NO WARNING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL OR SUGGESTION THAT THE GAUGE AND SENSORS BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR - BETWEEN $600 AND $900.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INOPERATIVE. SPEEDOMETER PEGGED AND ALL OTHER INSTRUMENTS EXCEPT THE TACHOMETER MALFUNCTION. *TR

TL* THE OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT SPEED HE WAS TRAVELING, THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK, THE OIL LEVELS, BATTERY LEVEL AND VEHICLE TEMPERATURE, ALL OF WHICH THE GAUGES FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND BELIEVED THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR FAILED AND WOULD PROVIDE INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN REFUELING, THE VEHICLE WOULD INDICATE THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR A FAILED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

FUEL GAUGE IS FAULTY. WILL NOT RECORD EXACT CAPACITY OF FUEL IN TANK. THIS LEAD TO THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS DURING OPERATION. AVOIDED A CRASH, JUST BARELY.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED AND HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ALSO CAUSED THE HEADLIGHTS TO FLICKER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,189.
