2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE FLUTTERED AND THEN STUCK BETWEEN 100-120 MPH. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THERE IS ANY CURRENT SERVICE BULLETIN (E.G., #07187A (INCLUDES ENVOY) AND #07187B (DOES NOT INCLUDE ENVOY), OR #040845010) WHICH COVERS THIS DEFECT WHICH, ACCORDING TO VARIOUS CHAT SITES, HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER VEHICLES. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WE ARE AWAITING A REPLACEMENT PART WHICH WILL BE AT OUR EXPENSE. REPLACEMENT COSTS VARY BE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT ON MY GMC 2004 ENVOY. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PERSON HELPING ME SAID THAT THEY GET ALOT OF REPAIR REQUESTS FOR THE SPEEDOMETERS GOING OUT ON THE GMC'S. SO I STATED IF THIS IS AN OFTEN OCCURRENCE IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL BEING THAT THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR ALOT. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT ON LINE TO PULL THE REVIEWS AND TO SEE WHAT OTHERS WERE TALKING ABOUT. THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT A I WAS NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN I WENT ONTO MY IPHONE APPLICATION TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD ASSIST ME BEING THAT I WAS GOING OUT OF TOWN I FOUND AN APPLICATION AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE POSTING A REVIEW WAS A GUY WHO WAS OUT OF TOWN AND HIS SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AND HE TOO WAS ABLE TO FIND THE SAME SPEEDOMETER THAT I HAD TO USE IN ORDER FOR HIM TO GET BACK TO WHERE HE WAS GOING. AS A CUSTOMER I FEEL THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING AT THE 35,000-45,000 MARK OF THESE VEHICLES THEN IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE GOOD ON THIS MALFUNCTION. MY CAR IS NOT QUITE 5 YEARS AND I ONLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 42,500 MILES ON MY TRUCK. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING, WHEN TURNED OFF AND BACK ON WOULD CORRECT THIS FOR A SHORT TIME. AFTER A WHILE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED I WAS GOING 90 MPH. SINCE THIS, MY SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY STOPPED. (ALTHOUGH,YESTERDAY WHEN I LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER IT DID SHOW 50 MPH THEN WENT BACK TO ZERO) I WAS ALSO TOLD THIS WAS A FAULTY STEPPER MOTOR. I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY $250 TO HAVE A $25 MOTOR INSTALLED WHEN THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BROKE AND GAVE WRONG READING. HAD TO REPLACE IP CLUSTER. *TR

THE GEARS IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL GOT DAMAGED AT 41,000 MILES. HAD TO REPLACE THE GEARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRVING 20 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY ASSUMED IT WAS A PART OF THE MANUFACTURERS RECALL AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CONFIRMED AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE THAT THE VEHCLE WAS NOT WITHIN THE RECALL VIN RANGE. THE DEALER HAS BILLED THE CONTACT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

SMELL OF GAS INSIDE OF VEHICLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NOTICE OF GAS ON GARAGE FLOOR. TOOK VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AROUND THE NECK OF THE TANK WHERE THE REFILL HOSE CONNECTS. FOUND OUT THAT CHEVROLET AND GMC HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT # 07099A ON THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED ON THIS SCA BECAUSE OF THE VIN NUMBER. I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE ON RECALLS AND I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THE DEALER AGREED TO PAY 2/3'S OF THE BILL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY 1/3 OF IT. ON THE SCA SHEET IT LIST THE FOLLOWING FOR MY VEHICLE. THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF THE VIN STARTING WITH 46100001 TO 46116824. MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING SO BADLY THAT I CAN SMELL GAS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALSO I PARK MY VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE ALL THE TIME AND THIS IS DANGEROUS. I THINK THAT ALL OF THE 2002 TO 2004 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZERS AND GMC ENVOYS WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LEAKING GAS TANKS. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALER THAT THEY USE TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANKS. HE SAID THAT SINCE THEY HAVE CHANGED THE TANKS OUT ON THE COVERED VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE HAD NONE OF THE VEHICLES BACK IN WITH LEAKING GAS TANKS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. SOME PEOPLE WOULD NOT NOTICE THIS PROBLEM AND IF THEY HAVE AN ACCIDENT THIS COULD CAUSE MORE INJURIES AND POSSIBLE DEATHS. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE AN EXPLOSION AROUND SPARKS OR STATIC IN SOMEONE'S GARAGE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY IN WHICH THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING FASTER THAN I REALLY WAS AND THE CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. COULD YOU PLEASE ASSIST W ANY RECALL MEASURES. IT COSTS OVER 500.00 TO REPLACE THIS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION - ENVOY 2004 -ELECTRICAL ERRORS SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS OFF & ON.......UP TO 120 MPH WHILE IDLING, NOT ABLE TO GET CORRECT SPEED READING.......UNSAFE. *TR

RECEIVED A SPECIAL CASE 07076 LETTER FROM GMC. TOOK 2004 GMC LETTER INDICATED IF YOU WERE NOT SEEING SYMPTOMS YOU ARE NOT TO TAKE IT TO DEALER. I ALREADY HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE SCHEDULED AND BROUGHT THIS SC07076 LETTER TO DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT CASE. DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR RECOMMENDED TO HAVE THIS SC07076 SERVICE PERFORMED AS PREVENTIVELY MAINTENANCE EVENTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXHIBITING THESE SYMPTOMS. THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AND IMMEDIATELY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHOW SYMPTOMS IN THE EXACT NATURE THAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE SC07076 LETTER, FUEL FUMES, FUEL LEAK WHEN FILLING, SES LIGHT ON... TOOK VEHICLE BACK AND DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY WILL NOT PERFORM FREE SERVICE EVENTHOUGH IT SHOULD STILL BE COVERED UNDER STIPULATIONS OF SC07076 LETTER AS WELL AS THEIR WARRANTY POLICY. CURRENTLY THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES SINCE MY CHILDREN AND I GET HEADACHES FROM GAS FUMES WHEN NEEDING TO USE THE VEHICLE AS FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY SINCE FUEL LEAKS FROM GAS TANK NOW. I AM TRYING TO PREVENT ANY INJURY OR DEATH, MINE, A PASSENGER OR NEAR BY PERSON. APPARENTLY GMC AND DEALER ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS BUT NOW IGNORE THE SITUATION DUE TO THEIR CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION. *TR
