2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. SOMETIMES YOU CAN RESTART IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. NOW IT SPUTTERS AND HAS VERY LITTLE POWER. IF YOU TURN ON ANYTHING IT MAKES IT WORSE. IT SURGES AND STALLS. IT CHUGS ALONG UNTIL YOU TURN OFF AS MAY ELECTRICAL ITEMS AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DOING 40 MPH WHEN I LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK MY SPEED AND THE SPEEDOMETER STATED THAT I WAS GOING 70 MPH AND IT WAS GOING HIGHER. I BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO ANY LESS THAN 70 MPH, EVEN WHEN I PARKED MY CAR AT MY JOB IT WAS STILL READING 70 MPH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN OVERPOWERING GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK EXHIBITED A LEAK AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE FUEL LEAK AND THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLINKER SWITCH HOUSING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V198000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I HEARD AM EXHAUST LEAK AND WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT A CRACKED MANIFOLD WAS THE CAUSE. COST TO REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT $1100.00. *TR

THE CLUSTER INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHES ON AND OFF GUAGES ARE ALL INCORRECT FROM TIME TO TIME AND DO NOT WORK SOME TIMES. *TT

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN OR ELECTRICAL GHOST OF SOME SORTS. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER 4 TIME WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THAT WAS THE DEALERS CURE. THEN WHEN I PURCHASED IT I REPLACED THE BATTERY.THEN IT WAS REPLACED FOR THE 6TH TIME 18 MONTHS LATER. THE REAR WINDOW ON THE TAIL GATE KEPT GOING DOWN ON IT'S OWN UNTIL THE MOTOR FLEW APART. THE WINDOW BEHIND THE REAR SEAT WENT DOWN ON IT'S OWN AND DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE RETRACTABLE BACK ROOF WILL NOT ENGAGE DUE TO THE REAR WINDOW. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE AC WILL COME ON BY ITSELF ALSO THE RADIO, THE SEAT HEATERS. NOW WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT ON THEIR OWN, LUCKILY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS STILL WORK, BUT THAT'S NOT HELPING THE POOR SOUL IN FRONT OF ME. GM SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY OF THIS BUT I'M ALMOST TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OR LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR ANYTIME FOR THAT MATTER. NOT TO MENTION ANY KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I MAY OF OVERLOOKED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WHEN HE NOTICED A BURNING ODOR AND SAW SMOKE AND A SMALL FIRE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT COULD NO LONGER BE ADJUSTED ELECTRONICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 84,000.

2004 ENVOY XUV, IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED, HAD *NO* RESPONSE TO ACCELERATOR AS I MADE A LEFT TURN AT A LIGHT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH. WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED, AND IT RAN OKAY BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT REAPPEARED. DROVE ANOTHER 35 MILES WITH LIGHT ON. THE NEXT MORNING IT HAD RE-SET AND THE LIGHT IS GONE FROM THE DASH. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GM EXPECT US TO BE ABLE TO REPLICATE SUCH INCIDENTS FOR A TECH TO FIX? SUCH FAILURES WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AROUND 40,000 MILES. CHECKED WITH DEALER AND FOUND OUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $700 TO FIX. *TR
