I PURCHASED A USED 2004 GMC ENVOY SLT, WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM GRAND PRIX AUTO GROUP, HICKSVILLE, NY IN AUGUST 2008. SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR IT STALLED WHILE WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, MAY I MENTION IT NEVER STOPPED STALLING. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER BROKE AGAIN. IT CONSTANTLY SAYS I'M TRAVELING 120 MILES AN HOUR. ONCE AGAIN, BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY TELL ME I NEED TO GO TO A GMC DEALER, I DO, THEY REPLACE THE INFORMATION CLUSTER AND SPEEDOMETER, HAD TO PAY A $ 300.00 DEDUCTIBLE. THIS WAS IN MARCH 2009. DRIVING THE OTHER DAY OCTOBER 2009 AND THE SPEEDOMETER ONCE AGAIN SAYS 120. GET PULLED OVER, GET A TICKET FOR A BROKEN SPEEDOMETER. THE OFFICER WAS AWARE I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT THAT SPEED, AND EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN, WANTED TO HEAR NONE OF IT. SO NOW HERE I AM AGAIN, BROKEN SPEEDOMETER, ENGINE THAT STALLS OFTEN AND A SUMMONS TO BOOT. I NEED HELP AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN THE DEALERSHIPS ARE OF NO HELP. JACQUELINE KING *TR

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT ISSUE AND TOLD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AND GM SEPT 2007 TSB 07187 INCLUDED ENVOY BUT LATEST REVISIONS B & C AT DEALERS DOES NOT INCLUDE ENVOY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 20,000 MILES AND SEE THIS LACK OF GMC OWNING UP TO ITS ISSUE IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHEN TURNED, EVEN IF THE MIST OR WASH IS SELECTED WILL NOT TURN OFF WITHOUT SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR APPROX. 15 MINUTES ALSO BOTH HEAD LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON WITH OR WITHOUT THE SWITCH. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN I-95 AT APPX. 60MPH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT. I SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF IT. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, NOR DID ONSTAR CALL TO CHECK ON ME (SO MUCH FOR BELIEVING IN THOSE ADS!) THE ENTIRE FRONT END NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FLUIDS WERE SPILLING FROM THE VEHICLE. 2 WITNESSES ARE CAPITOL HILL POLICE OFFICERS WHO WERE SHOCKED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SEATBELT DID RESTRAIN ME CAUSING IRRITATION AT THAT SITE. MY BACK, NECK AND HEAD WERE ACHING. I WAS CHECKED OUT BY THE ER. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 54 MPH, REGARDLESS OF SPEED. MOVED TO 95 MPH AND STUCK THERE. MOVED TO 120 MPH AND STUCK THERE. MOVED BACK TO 95 MPH AND STUCK THERE. *TR

FAULTY SPEEDOMETER IN 2004 GMC ENVOY, BAD STEEPER MOTORS IN ALL 6 GAUGES. SPEEDOMETER INACCURATE, WILL GO PAST 120MPH, WILL AFFECT TACH EVENTUALLY, ALL GAUGES WILL GO BAD. THE PROBLEM IS FAULTY STEEPER MOTORS GM WAS SUPPLIED THESE BY DELPHI ELECTRONICS. GM WON A CLASS ACTION SUIT, WHY NO RELIEF TO ENVOY OWNERS? THIS AFFECTS ALL 2003-2004 ENVOYS, THEY WERE INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL SERVICE BULLETIN THEN REMOVED? WHY NO RECALL ON THESE ITEMS GM IS AWARE OF THIS BUT AS OF TODAY NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. *TR
