2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. GAGE SHOWS DRIVING 120 MPH WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY. GETS STUCK ON NUMBERS AND STAYS THERE FOR DAYS AT A TIME. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND GIVES THE WRONG SPEED ABOUT 2X A MONTH, ON AVERAGE. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE AND DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY SLT- HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WITH NO WARNING AT NIGHT- HAPPENED ON A DARK ROAD, ALMOST WENT IN A DITCH- ALSO, SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. ROUGHLY 10% OF THE TIME, THE GAUGE WILL STOP WORKING COMPLETELY. NOW, THE RPM GAUGE HAS ALSO BEGIN ACTING ERRATICALLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SUPPORT, AND THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER, WHO WILL CHARGE ME $79 SIMPLY TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM, FOLLOWED BY A LIKELY $600 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH OF "2004 GMC ENVOY XUV SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS" RETURNED 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF HITS, SO IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING INTO THE SITUATION WITH GM DEALERS THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SIERRA'S AND YUKONS WHICH HAVE THE SAME CLUSTER AS MY VEHICLE BUT GM REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THE DEFECT ON THE ENVOYS. PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED YET ON MY VEHICLE HOPING THAT GM WILL WAKE UP AND REALIZE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ENVOYS AND THAT IT REQUIRES ATTENTION. BELOW IS JUST ONE OF MANY LINKS WHICH HIGHLIGHT THE ISSUE MANY GMC OWNERS ARE FACING: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2004/GMC/ENVOY/DIGITAL+INSTRUMENT+PANEL. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY 6-CYL 2WD WITH ~172,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DUE TO EVAP LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. SMOKE CHECK AT THE MECHANICS RESULTED IN VISIBLE SMOKE EXITING THE FILLER NECK OF THE FUEL TANK (NOT THE FILLER NECK FROM THE GAS LINE). NEW FUEL TANK (DEALER PART ONLY!) IS ~$900 FROM DEALER TO DEALER. PLUS LABOR. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER PUMP THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY AFTER WASHING THE WINDSHIELD. THE PUMP WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE WASHER PUMP OVERHEATED ITSELF AND CAUSE A SMALL FIRE, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OUT QUICK. I REPLACED WITH A NEW WASHER PUMP AND IT STILL RAN CONTINUOUSLY, I UNINSTALLED IMMEDIATELY...RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO WAY TO WASH MY WINDSHIELD AND THE BIGGER ISSUE IS THE FIRE THAT WE WERE LUCKY TO ESCAPE ANY MAJOR INCIDENT. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY. CUSTOMER REQUESTED FUEL SENDING UNIT TO BE REPLACED. UPON SPEAKING WITH OTHER ENVOY OWNERS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CORROSION AREAS, NAMELY NOVA SCOTIA. THE LEAK WAS FOUND AFTER OWNER SMELLED A CONSTANT GAS ODOR AROUND THE BACK DRIVER WHEEL WELL. WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS TAKEN DOWN FOR INSPECTION THE MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONTAINED THE FUEL PUMP, DEVELOPED CORROSION OF THE FUEL FEE/RETURN PIPES AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE ENTIRELY REPLACED ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2010. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 88,546KM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER READ 35 MPH WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL GARAGE. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING LOCATED FAILURE AT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE, WHICH WAS REPLACED.OTHER UNKNOWN PARTS WERE ALSO REPLACED.THE INSTRUMENTAL CONTROL PANEL SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A REPORT, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND HAVE SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SEEM OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES. SINCE WE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE REAR WINDOW IS FOUND DOWN AND NOONE WAS EVEN IN/NEAR THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO WORK BUT STILL WILL GO DOWN BY ITSELF. A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION ON A RECALL OF SMELLING GAS FUMES WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLE CORROSION IN FUEL LINES. OF COURSE THE FUEL LINES WERE NOT CORRODED SO WE WERE TOLD. I FOOTED THE BILL $800+ TO GET A NEW FUEL TANK ,AS NECK ON TANK WAS CRACKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WHY WE SMELLED GAS. LUCKILY, I WENT TO MY GARAGE AND SAVED SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FROM THE DEALERS COST TO REPAIR. LAST WEEKEND 9/10/10 MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING TO TOWN AND THE MIDDLE WINDOW UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED AND NOW DOES NOT WORK. I RESEARCHED AN IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULATOR ISSUE AND WILL COST AROUND $500, WOW! OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS THERE IS A RATTLE WHEN WE TURN ON OUR AC. AGAIN AFTER WE WERE IN FOR SERVICE AS WE HAD THE AC CHARGED AT THE START OF SUMMER. I CAN SEE WHERE I HAVE THE SAME TROUBLES AS A LOT OF OTHERS AND FEEL, THE SAME AS THEY DO, LEFT HOLDING THE BAG BY GMC AND NO WAY OUT BUT, TO LOOK FOR A NEW/USED VEHICLE AND GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 ENVOY XUV WITH A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. MY MECHANIC SAID HE HAS SEEN A LOT OF THESE ON THE 4.2 AND TELLS ME IT IS DUE TO BAD DESIGN. GMC WON'T FIX IT UNLESS I GIVE THEM ABOUT $1,000.00. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ALMOST NEVER CRACKED IN THE PAST. PLEASE INSIST THEY HELP US LIKE WE HELPED THEM. *TR
