2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

LTR FROM SENATOR CARDIN ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE PROBLEMS WITH HIS 2004 GMC ENVOY. *NJ THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED HE WAS TRAVELING. *JB

BOUGHT THE CAR 2006 WAS TWO YEARS AT THAT TIME LESS THAN A WEEK INTO REPLACED BRAKES FOR ABS FAILURE. STILL HAPPENING, TOOK IT BACK SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. WELL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO MY WIFE WAS GOING UP-HILL TO A STOP LIGHT HIT THE BRAKES ON SLICK PAVEMENT AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND ABS DID NOT KICK IN. CAUSING MY WIFE TO TOTAL TWO VEHICLES THAT I AM NOW BEING SUED FOR ONE OF THEM. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SPEED ODOMETER AND TACH NOT ACCURATE. I HAVE HAD 2 SPEEDING TICKETS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. NOT SURE OF THE DATE IT FIRST HAPPENED BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE. GM DEALER IN MY AREA WAS RUDE TO MY WIFE AND SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. THE CONTACT CANNOT DETERMINE HOW FAST SHE IS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY WHEN THERE IS A HALF A TANK OR LESS OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. GMC STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR HER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 3/19/09 *CN UPDATED 03/23/09.*JB

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE HAS GONE BAD. IT WILL NOT ZERO OUT AND OPERATES ERRATICALLY. *TR

I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE ENTIRE PANEL WOULD GO OUT AND ALL THE GAUGES BOTTOMED OUT. I COULD NOT TELL MY SPEED, GAS LEVEL, RPMS, ETC. THE PANEL WOULD STAY OUT FOR A FEW DAYS THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. ALSO ON OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STICK AT 60 MPH AND ONLY CORRECT ITSELF IF I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON. FINALLY, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT AND HAS NEVER COME BACK ON. I HAVE DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND AM AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO JUDGE MY FUEL LEVEL. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS IN AN AREA WITH EASY ACCESS TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. (I CAN'T BE SURE OF THIS, HOWEVER, SINCE THE ODOMETER IS A PART OF THE PANEL THAT IS OUT.) THIS IS A SERIOUS AND, ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, RECURRING PROBLEM THE GMC SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT AND PAY FOR. *TR

2004 ENVOY WITH APPROX.47,000 .HAD TO REPLACE FUEL TANK DUE TO FRACTURE AROUND FILLER NECK AND REPLACE OXYGEN SENSOR .WAS INFORMED EXTENDED WARRANTY ON FUEL TANK MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY WHICH CONTAINS THE FUEL PUMP DID NOT INCLUDE FILLER NECK I HAD TO PAY 1'551.16 DOLLARS FOR REPAIR. *TR

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER OPERATION, WE TOOK IT IN TO IN TO BE CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW CLUSTER, ALSO WHILE IT WAS THERE I HAD THEM CHECK THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT WHICH CAME ON ERRATICALLY AND THEY SAID IT ALSO NEEDED A NEW MODULE. THIS IS FOR A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 64,984 MILES. NO EXTENDED WARRANTY SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE ALL THE WORK DONE. THE DAY I HAD IT CHECKED OUT THE SERVICE REP DID SAY THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH A CERTAIN YEAR AND IF WE HAD THE RIGHT YEAR AND VEHICLE AND IF IT WAS UNDER 70,000 MILES THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. WHEN WE CAME BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE WORK DONE HE SAID AFTER I ASKED HIM IT WAS FOR A SILVERADO NOT SURE IF HE SAID 2003 OR 2004 BUT NOT FOR OUR VEHICLE..... I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AFTER 40 YEARS OF BUYING GM VEHICLES THAT GM DIDN'T TAKE CARE OR HELP TAKE CARE OF THE COST OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILED. AT FIRST IT DID NOT CORRECTLY REFLECT VEHICLE SPEED, THEN FLUCTUATED RAPIDLY OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL DAYS, AND FINALLY FAILED COMPLETELY. *TR

MY 2004 GMC ENVOYS SPEEDO IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE FUEL GAUGE IS ACTING UP TOO. *TR
