2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 63,000MI. ON IT STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL BURY THE NEEDLE PAST 120MPH OR STAY ON ZERO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. HAVING BEEN A TRUCK DRIVER FOR OVER 20 YRS. AND UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE AND SAFETY OF SPEED CONTROL, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL. *TR

I LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU RECEIVE ANY COMPLAINS OR SOMEBODY REPORT PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR GMC ENVOY (02TO05) LIKE LOOSING POWER NO ACCIDENT BUT CAN CAUSE SOME THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FOR THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE DRINK CUP HOLDER.. DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE SENSOR THE SENSOR GETS WET AND CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BY NOT DEPLOYING THE AIR BAGS WHEN NEEDED..I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE, I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY HAD A LOT OF THESE ISSUES BUT GMC DECIDED IT WAS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE.. *TR

2004 GMAC ENVOY - THE SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC. WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN ROAD, IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO RECALL. I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW CLUSTER - $600 PLUS LABOR! INTERESTING THERE ARE 4 OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW THAT OWN GM SUVS AND THEY ARE ALL DOING IT AS WELL. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE CLUSTER AND THAT HAS FIXED BUT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY LITTLE CIRCLE. THERE IS A OVERALL PROBLEM WITH THE GM/GMAC CARS. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE FOR THE CONSUMER. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY SUV, 45,XXX MILES. NOVEMBER 2009 ENVOY WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE (NEW BATTERY REPLACED 7-09), JUMPED ENVOY AND WOULD LOOSE CHARGE, KEYS ALWAYS WERE LOCKED IN VEHICLE IGNITION. APRIL 2010 AGAIN, VEHICLE WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE (SOMETHING DRAINING BATTERY - NOTHING LEFT ON). TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, NO PROBLEMS LOCATED, MECHANIC REPLACED 7-09 BATTERY (FREE), DROVE VEHICLE 4 DAYS AND DID NOT DRIVE FOR 5 DAYS - AGAIN VEHICLE WOULD NOT START (NO LIGHTS, ETC) JUMPED VEHICLE OFF. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO MECHANIC, NOTHING INDICATED IN STARTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY - NOTHING WAS LEFT ON. TOOK HOME AGAIN SAME PROBLEM 4 DAYS RUNNING, 6 DAYS DID NOT DRIVE, VEHICLE WILL NOT START; HAD TO JUMP OFF AGAIN. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE MECHANIC. IN THE MEANTIME I RESEARCHED AND FOUND GM BULLETIN 04-06-03-002 FOR "MISINDEXED IGNITION SWITCH"; NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF SAME ISSUE. CURRENTLY ENVOY IS AT MECHANIC AFTER I REPORTED GM BULLETIN. *TR

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SLT CLUSTER GAUGE; SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAVE STOPPED WORKING. *TR

CLUSTER PANEL ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV HAS FAILED. GM STATED THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET HAS DIFFERENT INFORMATION. I ASKED ABOUT THIS TO GM AND THEY STATED THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING BEING ON THE INTERNET AND CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT IS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ON MY 2004 ENVOY, WITH ONLY 24000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON A TRIP LAST WEEK WHICH CAUSED ME TO GET A SPEEDING TICKET BECAUSE OF THIS. ORIGINALLY IT WAS 10 MPH OFF, BUT NOW IS READING AS HIGH AS 70 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL. BASED ON OTHER INFO I HAD READ ON THE WEB, THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH GMC ENVOYS YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY GM AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS VERY HIGH ($500.00 +). THIS IS NOW A VARIABLE PROBLEM THAT SHOWS MY SPEED OFF AS MUCH AS 80 MPH AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO BE TRAVELING AT EXCESSIVE, UNSAFE SPEEDS, IF I TRIED TO USE IT. *TR

THE SPEDOMETER WOULD STICK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DROP BACK TO NORMAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. NOW IT PERMANTELY STUCK AT 120 MPH.

SPEEDOMETER STARTED SHOWING I WAS GOING 90-130MPH WHEN I WAS ON PROBABLY MOVING 50MPH. IT WAS ABOUT 30-50MPH OFF. WHEN CAR IS OFF SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 50MPH. FOUND OUT YOU CAN MAKE SPEEDOMETER DROP 5MPH AT A TIME IF YOU TURN THE CAR ON & OFF ABOUT 20 TIMES IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO TO ZERO MPH. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT DOES THE SAME ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. I HAVE READ OVER HUNDREDS OF POST ONLINE ABOUT THIS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL ALONE AND THINK THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I NEED HELP AND NEED MY CAR FIXED PLEASE HELP. *TR
