2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED BEING TRAVELED. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DISPLAYED " EMPTY FUEL" REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED AND THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED THE INCORRECT MILEAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO DATE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 38,000.

THE CLUSTER GAUGE ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY HAS GONE COMPLETELY OUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH ALL ENVOYS MADE DURING 2004/2005 YET TO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. AT FIRST IT WAS SPORADIC BUT EVENTUALLY, ALL OF THE GAUGES WENT COMPLETELY OUT. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING, IT EVEN POINTED COMPLETELY SOUTH AT ONE TIME. LOOKING ON THE WEB IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN ENVOYS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 120 MPH EVEN SITTING STILL AND TURNED OFF. STARTED A MONTH AGO AND CONTINUALLY GOT WORSE. NOW IT WON'T MOVE AT ALL. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT OBSERVED WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED BEING TRAVELED. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE HEADLIGHTS REMAINING "ON" WHEN DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENT. THE FAN CLUTCH FAILED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE FAN CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERN OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

SPEEDOMETER FAILED AT 44,000 MILES. GAS GAUGE MISREADS. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS BEING REPLACE BY GMC ON OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME CLUSTER BUT THEY DECIDED NOT TO REPLACE THE ENVOYS CLUSTER. GMC KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE CLUSTERS THAT FAIL AND HAVE EVEN BEEN MONETARY REIMBURSEMENT BY OTHER COMPANIES TO REPLACE BUT STILL DO NOT REPLACE FOR THE ENVOYS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING INCONSISTENT AND THEN "FIXED" ITSELF THE LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2009. AT THAT TIME IT WOULD NOT DROP BELOW 20MPH. AFTER SEEMINGLY BEING OK, THE FIRST WEEK OF JAN. 2010, THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO 80MPH AND HUNG THERE AND PEGGED OUT AT 120MPH WHEN DRIVEN. I MADE APPT. WITH GMAC IN WINSTON SALEM, NC AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED @ $600+. PANEL HAS BEEN ORDERED AND TO BE INSTALLED END OF WEEK. NOW I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LETTER SENT OUT BY GMAC THAT I NEVER RECEIVED, TO REPLACE THIS CLUSTER IF LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN 73,000 MILES. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM??? *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ON MY GMC ENVOY 2004 IS DEFECTIVE AS IT IS ON A MULTITUDE OF OTHER GM MODELS BETWEEN 2003 AND 2005. ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK OR WILL REPORT A FAULTY READING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AND FOR SOME REASON GM HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS IPC PROBLEM FOR GMC ENVOYS OF THE YEAR 2004 EVEN THOUGH OTHER YEARS OF THIS MODEL AND OTHER MODELS OF GM VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE HELP GM DO THE RIGHT THING BY IT'S ENVOY OWNERS. WE HAVE CERTAINLY BAILED THEM OUT ENOUGH. THERE IS ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCE OF THIS ISSUE. IF ONE WERE TO BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 60MPH USING CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SPEEDOMETER WERE TO ALL OF A SUDDEN PEG ITSELF TO 20MPH, THERE WOULD BE A SUDDEN AND ABRUPT ACCELERATION AS THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN 60MPH EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY AT THAT SPEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS DANGEROUS SPEED CONTROL ISSUE. MATT DYE *TR

MY CAR'S SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO GIVE ME THE WRONG SPEED AND EVENTUALLY JUST QUIT AND IS NOW STUCK ON 0. A LITTLE WHILE AFTER, THE RADIATOR GAUGE DOES NOT WORK EITHER. IT SEEMS THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS SLOWING GOING OUT. WE HAVEN'T FIXED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER YET BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TALK WITH THE DEALER AND GMC ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT BECAUSE WE WERE JUST ONE PERSON. *TR
