2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

SPEEDOMETER BEGIN STICKING ABOVE ZERO WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF. GRADUALLY, THE SPEEDO STUCK HIGHER AND HIGHER, UNTIL IT REMAINED PEGGED AND CEASED TO FUNCTION. SOON AFTER, ALL INSTRUMENTS IN THE PANEL SUCCESSIVE FAILED - INCLUDING FUEL GAUGE, TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE, AND BATTERY LEVEL... IT APPEARS TO BE AT THIS POINT A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. MOST WORRISOME, THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ INCORRECTLY AT ALL TIMES, IF THEY READ AT ALL. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XL, REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILS TO ENGAGE PREVENTING DOOR FROM STAYING CLOSED. *TR

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO READ THE INSTRUMENTATION BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

TAILGATE LATCHES ON 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV KEEP BREAKING REPEATEDLY. UNABLE TO OPEN REAR OF VEHICLE. PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEY STOP WORKING OVER AND OVER. IF MY KIDS GET IN THE BACK AND GET STUCK THERE IS NO WAY OUT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER WOULD FLUCTUATE ABNORMALLY WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE DETERMINE THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. UPDATED 06/17/11*LJ UPDATED 06/27/11

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AS THE FUEL GAGE DISPLAYED AN INCORRECT READING. THE FAILURE RECURRED AT ANY TIME. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK YET THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE FUEL TANK BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

THE PROBLEM FROM WHAT I CAN TELL FROM RESEARCHING IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND I HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS ON THE NET THAT PEOPLE ARE STATING THE SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING. THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ANYWHERE FROM 0-120 MPH AND THOUGH I HAVE NOTICED THAT NO FIRES OR DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED IS THIS WHAT THE NHTSA WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO DIE FROM THIS HAPPENING? ALSO, THE TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, AND VOLTAGE INDICATOR HAVE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES AS WELL. THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING (IE M.P.H.). I AM BEING TOLD THIS WILL BE A $450 FIX WHEN IN FACT WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS I AM READING ARE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES IT SEEMS THAT GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES. IS IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS SO MUCH INVESTED IN GMC THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEING RESOLVED? HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE THE NHTSA WILL REACT? DO I NEED TO START POSTING TO ALL THE FORUMS I ENCOUNTER AND GET PEOPLE TO SIGN UP? IF I AM THE 55TH PERSON WITH JUST THE '04 GMC ENVOY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE THEN ALL THE OTHER YEARS AND MODELS OF GM AND CHEVY FROM '02 THROUGH AT LEAST '06 MUST FILING COMPLAINTS, TOO. IN TOTAL THERE MUST BE ENOUGH TO AT LEAST LOOK INTO THE MATTER SO WHY ARE YOU STALLING? A PERSON NOT KNOWING HOW FAST THEY ARE DRIVING MUST BE A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY THROUGH SCHOOL ZONES AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS WOULD YOU NOT AGREE? FOR US THE ISSUE STARTED ABOUT A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE BY THE WEEK. WE MAY GO A DAY WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT THEN IT STARTS HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN; IT USE TO BE THAT IS WOULD START ONLY ON THE FREEWAY BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVEN AROUND TOWN. I WILL WAIT FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE NHTSA BEFORE GETTING THIS REPAIRED, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BY NOW BEING THAT I HAVE BEEN SEEING INFO ON THE NET ABOUT IT FOR SOME TIME NOW, BUT I FIGURE I NEED TO GET INVOLVED BEFORE ANYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE CLUSTER GAUGE QUIT WORKING. FIRST THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED READING THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. SECOND, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER QUIT READING. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. CURRENTLY OUT OF THE ENTIRE CLUSTER GAUGE SYSTEM THE BATTERY METER IS THE ONLY GAUGE THAT WORKS. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE SAYS I HAVE GAS WHEN I KEEP RUNNING OUT. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED GAUGE. STILL DOES NOT WORK. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY. FAULTY GAS GAUGE. CAR HAS A FULL TANK BUT GAS GAUGE READS 1/4 TANK TO EMPTY. *TR
