2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

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

LAST EVENING OUR FAMILY LOADED INTO THE ENVOY AND MY SON OPENED THE HATCH HALFWAY AND REALIZED HE FORGOT SOMETHING AND RAN TO GET IT. THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING YET. WE HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" AND GLASS SHATTERING AND HOPPED OUT. THERE WAS GLASS ALL OVER OUR DRIVEWAY AND EVEN PIECES UP TO SEVERAL YARDS AWAY. THE GLASS ON THE HATCH HAD EXPLODED. IT WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND WE WERE SO RELIEVED THAT MY SON HAD NOT BEEN STANDING RIGHT THERE AND THAT THE HATCH WAS PARTIALLY OPEN SO THE GLASS DIDN'T BLOW TOWARD MY REAR FACING INFANT, TODDLER AND 8 YEAR OLD SON ALREADY LOADED IN THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT MY CHILDREN DID LATER CUT THEMSELVES ON SHARDS OF GLASS THAT MADE IT OVER TO THE YARD. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS INCREDIBLY UPSETTING. EVEN OUR NEIGHBOR CAME TO HELP. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. OUR INSURANCE COVERS THE COST AFTER OUR $500 DEDUCTIBLE, HOWEVER, WE ARE AFRAID THE WINDOW WILL BLAST OUT AGAIN AND AFRAID ESPECIALLY FOR OUR REAR FACING INFANT AND SONS RIDING IN THE VERY BACK. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. *JS

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.

MISFIRE WAS DETECTED DEALER CODE #P038. DEALER CLAIM WAS A SPARK PLUG PROBLEM. SPARK PLUGS AND CABLES WERE REPLACE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER TECHNICIAN CLAIMED THERE IS A PROLBLEM WITH THE TANK THAT IS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THEY STATED THE PROBLEM IS ON MOST OF THIS NEW TANKS. JUST WONDER IF THIS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM SINCE IT CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION AT ANY TIME ON THE ROAD. *JS

THE REAR TAILGATE IS NOT OPERATING AT ALL. IT WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED, IT SWINGS DOWN ON ITS OWN. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD IN THE LATCHED POSITION BY A RATCHET STRAP. IT HAS ALSO SWUNG OPEN ON ITS OWN, WHILE IT WAS STILL LATCHING PROPERLY AND THE REAR WINDOW HAS DROPPED ITSELF ON ITS OWN. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE FUEL SMELL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS CORRODED AND FUEL WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

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
