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 REPAIR QUOTE NOT ONLY HAS ENGINE MOUNT REPLACEMENT BUT ALSO QUOTED TRANS MOUNT REPLACEMENT. REALLY....REFUSED REPAIR. STRIKE 2 AND 3. BTW, ALSO NEEDED NEW TIRES. I WENT TO OTHER DEALER APPROXIMATELY 35 MINUTES AWAY INSTEAD TO GET TIRES. ON 3/5/2013, ON WAY HOME NOTICE SPEEDOMETER SHOWING ABOUT 90 MILES EVEN THOUGH GPS SAYS I'M ONLY DOING ABOUT 67. EXITED INTERSTATE, SHUT CAR OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. NO CHANGE. GOT HOME, TURNED CAR OFF. SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 20 MILES. MORNING OF 3/6/13, STARTED CAR, SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 7 MILES. WORKED FULL DAY. GOT HOME AND IT WAS BACK TO ZERO AFTER TURNING CAR OFF. CURRENT ODOMETER IS APPROXIMATELY 106,102. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKES AND ERRORS. WE SPEND ENOUGH MONEY WITH THEM. GRASS MAY NOT BE GREENER WITH OTHER MAKE VEHICLE BUT CUSTOMER SERVICE GOES A LONG WAY!!!!! WILL TAKE A LOT TO GET ME TO BUY ANOTHER GMC OR SIMILAR VEHICLE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY ENVOY APPROX. 1 YEAR AGO. I HAVE 105,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AT 50 MPH BUT WOULD SEEM TO ALWAYS END UP FIXING ITSELF. NOW IT IS PEGGED AT 120 AND HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR 2 MONTHS. # 5 ON MY AC/HEAT BLOWER IS NOT WORKING. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON EVERY TIME I START MY CAR. I CAN NOT TURN THEM OFF , USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 30 WIPES IT WILL TURN OFF. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME. AS I AM RESEARCHING THESE PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET, HOPING TO FIND SOME SORT OF RECALL, I FIND MANY OTHER ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS!!!! I REALLY FEEL THAT GMC SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AS MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THIS SITUATION. I HAVE TO SAY WITH THIS MANY PROBLEMS, IT'S THE VEHICLE NOT THE PEOPLE AND I THINK GMC NEEDS TO BACK THEIR PRODUCT AND TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

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

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY FOR THE AFTERNOON AND THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING HITTING REAR GLASS. HALF THE GLASS WAS INSIDE VEHICLE AND HALF THE GLASS WAS BLOWN BACKON THE HOOD AND BUMPER OF MY SECOND CAR WHICH WAS PARKED DIRECTLY BEHIND SAID VEHICLE. NEITHER ONE WAS IN MOTION. *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

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING. I CAN NO LONGER JUDGE SPEED. TIRES CRACKED AND DRY ROTTED ON SIDEWALLS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT EARLY MILEAGE. *TR

REAR WINDSHIELD/BACK WINDOW SHATTERED ON IT'S OWN WHILE PARKED IN PARKING LOT. COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY OR WHAT HAD CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SHOP FOR WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED, AND WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR TO LEAVE THE SHOP THE REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED AGAIN. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME AND THIS SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF BOTH OF US. THE SHOP COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS AND REPLACED THE WINDOW FOR A 2ND TIME. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOOGLED 'GMC ENVOY, REAR WINDOW' AND SEE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS WITH ENVOYS OF DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO HERE FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE OF US DRIVING THESE VEHICLES. *TR
