MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THERE WAS NO FORE-WARNING. IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH, IT READS I'M GOIN 25 MPH. THE NEEDLE FALLS BELOW "0" WHEN IDLING. I'VE CALLED A GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ALTHOUGH I'VE READ MANY EXACT COMPLAINTS ONLINE. *TR

I OWN A 2004 GMC ENVOY AND THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. IT IS VERY ERRATIC AND GOES ANYWHERE BETWEEN 10-100 MILES OVER THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING. I'VE BEEN STOPPED TWICE FOR SPEEDING AND RECEIVED A FINE FOR $170.00. GMS STATES IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, I DISAGREE! WHEN I WAS STOPPED I TRIED EXPLAINING TO THE POLICE OFFICER WHAT WAS WRONG, HOWEVER HE DIDN'T WANT TO HER IT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 ENVOY HAS BEEN INACCURATE AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS. I NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM ARISES WHEN THERE IS A SPIKE OR DIP IN TEMPERATURE OUTDOORS. FOR OVER 24 HOURS THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 120 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER CORRECTS ITSELF OVER THE COURSE OF 4 OR 5 DAYS DEPENDING ON HOW MANY STARTS AND STOPS I MAKE AROUND TOWN. I SEE THAT GM ISN'T GOING TO CLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON THIS MATTER SO I JUST PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO MY SPEEDOMETER WHEN DRIVING AND STAY IN THE SLOW LANE. CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE BIG BUCKS FOR THEIR MISTAKE. *TR

MY RPM GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. MY SPEEDOMETER WORKS WHEN USING IN STOP AND GO MODE OR CITY DRIVING. BUT WHEN I AM ON A TRIP MY SPEEDOMETER WILL QUIT WORKING ACCURATELY. IT WILL REFLECT A MUCH LOWER SPEED THAN I AM GOING. MY CRUISE CONTROL IS OFTEN ENGAGED WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. BUT THE RPM GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS AT ANY TIME. I TALKED TO SOMEONE AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE SYMPTOMS THAT I DESCRIBE ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2003/04 CHEVYS THAT DO HAVE A RECALL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY STEPS YET TO FIX. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE $95 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE AND THAT MOST LIKELY IT WOULD COST $550 TO FIX (BASED ON WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE CHEVYS THAT ARE ON RECALL). *TR

I HAVE 2004 ENVOY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALTERNATOR. STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE ENVOY HAD I REPLACED 3 TIMES THEN STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BACK SEAT WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE NOT ROLLING UP. THEN MY GIRLFRIEND HAD A FLAT ON SIDE OF ROAD AND COULD NOT GET SPARE DOWN I HAD TO GO OUT AND CUT THE CABLE THAT HOLDS IT UP. THAT IS A UNSAFE THING TO DO ON SIDE OF HWY SHOULD NOT TAKE 45 MIN TO GET SPARE DOWN. HEADLIGHTS DIM AND BRIGHTEN GETS DIM ENOUGH THAT MAKES HARD TO SEE. *TR
