2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

I JUST BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A PRIVATE PARTY ON MONDAY 4/23/12. MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK ON 80 MPH YESTERDAY WHEN IT WAS IN PARK AND WHEN I DROVE IT. NOW TODAY IS IS STUCK AT 120 MPH. *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 COST ME $240 WITH GMC PAYING THE OTHER HALF. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE I DID SO WHY AM I NOW STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BILLS? WHY WAS THIS NOT FIXED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP? SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.I SHOULD NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR GMC'S ERRORS! IN ADDITION THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE OTHER GMC MODELS FOR THE CLUSTER GAUGE THAT AFFECTS THE SPEEDOMETER. THE ENVOY WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. ONCE AGAIN WHY SHOULD I BE STUCK HOLDING THE BAG ON FAULTY EQUIPMENT? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS RESOLVED? *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. I WILL FILL UP THE TANK AND TURN ON THE CAR AND IT READS LOW FUEL AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. THEN I CAN BE DRIVING AND IT WILL JUMP UP TO PAST 1/4 TANK THEN SLOWLY GO DOWN TO E AND READ LOW FUEL.

MY 2005 ENVOY SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING OR STICKS. IT ALSO DOES NOT GIVE CORRECT SPEED. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO RELY ON MY GPS FOR SPEED CONTROL. ARE THERE ANY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

THE GAS GAUGE STARTED FAILING. IT STARTED MARKING RANDOM FUEL VALUES WHICH WERE COMPLETELY INCORRECT. IT WOULD MARK HALF A TANK WHEN IT WAS FULL. IT WOULD RANDOMLY JUMP TO DIFFERENT SETTING AFTER EACH START. AND FINALLY IT GOT STUCK ON EMPTY WITH THE EMPTY LIGHT ON. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY. ATTORNEY WRITES ON BEHALF OF THE CLIENT IN REGARDS TO FUEL LEVEL CENSOR THAT MAY WEAR PREMATURELY *TGW THE ATTORNEY STATED HIS CLIENTS VEHICLE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. ULTIMATELY, THE SENSOR WORE OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO STOP WORKING. *JB

TACHOMETER INITIALLY FAILED, NOW SPEEDOMETER IS ALSO NOT WORKING. HAVE HEARD/SEEN MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT ON ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS BEGUN READING INCORRECTLY. THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN I FILL IT WITH FUEL. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE TANK APPEARS TO RETURN TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS A NORMAL READING. THEN, ON IT'S OWN, IT WILL FLUXUATE DROPPING TO EMPTY, TRIGGERING THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND ALARM AND THEN RETURN TO IT'S PREVIOUS POSITION. AT THIS TIME, I CANNOT TRUST THE GAUGE TO BE ACCURATE. *TR
