2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

BOUGHT "CERTIFIED USED" ENVOY IN OCTOBER OF 07. TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED AT 57K MILES 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF EVERY COUPLE DAYS(HAVE VIDEO, BUT SANDY SANSING OF PENSACOLA FLORIDA SAYS THERE NOTHING WRONG) VEHICLE JERKS AT STOPS AND STARTS. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP W/ "NOTHING WRONG" THEY FINALLY DECIDED THAT A O2 SENSOR WAS BAD AT 71K. ENVOY HAD BEEN BACK IN THE SHOP AT A COST OF 80.00 BUCKS TWICE SINCE THEN BECAUSE OF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AND THE BRAKES ARE FAILING, THE "ABS BRAKE" LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON SO THEY SAY IT CANT BE THE BRAKES. WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND A SECOND LATER THEY WILL CATCH AND BEGIN TO STOP VEHICLE, AS IF THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS OBSTRUCTED AND SKIPS A FEW TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR THOSE FEW SECONDS BUT DOESN'T STAY ON LONG AND THEY SAY IT ISN'T THROWING ANY CODES. PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY SO THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID ITS A UNFOUNDED PROBLEM. THE THERMOSTATS ASSEMBLY WITH OTHER PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND DATES THAT I'VE TAKEN THIS POS INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC VEHICLE. I HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD PICKUP TRUCK ALSO AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE SHOP ONCE. THERE'S NO EXCUSE THAT WE ARE DRIVING THESE (EXPENSIVE) UNSAFE VEHICLES!! *TR

FILL FUEL TANK WITH FUEL. DRIVE AROUND. SMELL GAS ODOR WHEN STOPPED/PARKED. DID NOT FIX. *TR

SPEEDOMETER GAGE IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPS/STICKS RANDOMLY. I NEED TO START/STOP THE IGNITION TO DECREASE THE MPH READING IN 5MPH DECREMENTS. FAULTY STEPPER MOTOR. *TR

THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED APPROXIMATELY FIVE OR SIX TIMES (ABOUT ONE-TWO MONTHS BETWEEN OCCURRENCES) SINCE JANUARY 2008. EVERY TIME I READ THE CODES, IT CAME UP AS P0442. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUICK WORKING. DEALER DIAGNOSED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR PARTS AND LABOR IN EXCESS OF $600. POTENTIAL LOSS OF ALL GAUGES WHILE DRIVING PRIOR TO REPAIR. *TR

I'VE HAD PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN I TRY TO PLAY THE CD PLAYER IT SAYS CHECK DISC SOMETIMES THE DISC WILL NOT EJECT FROM THE RADIO. THE CLOCK ALWAYS RESET ITSELF TO INCORRECT TIME AND NOT ALL LIGHTS STAY LIT ON DASH. REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TWICE TO DEALER THEY REPLACED SENSOR TWICE AND HERE IT IS 2008 WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND STILL HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. WHEN I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT MY CRUISE CONTROL SPEED OF 65. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MY SPEEDOMETER BACKED OFF TO 45 MPH, BUT WOULD NOT RETURN TO ZERO. AFTER STOPPING, THEN TURNING ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL STUCK AT 45 MPH. MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS PREVIOUSLY SET AT THE SPEED LIMIT FOR THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND I HIT THE BUTTON TO RESUME CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, THINKING IT WOULD RESET TO ZERO WITHOUT POWER; YET, IT IS STILL STUCK AT 45 MPH AND MY CAR IS OFF AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

I HAVE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS WITH MY 2004 SUV ENVOY XUV AND I AM BELIEVE THIS TO BE MORE OF A RECALL PROBLEM THAN JUST BAD LUCK AND MY HEAR SHIFT IN THE TRUCK IS GOING OUT "THE ELECTRONIC ACUTATOR," ALL OF THIS IS JUST UNREAL WITH THESE CAR AND TRUCKS HAVING THESE TYPE MALFUNCTION AND THE MAKE DOES NOT WANT TO HONOR THE REPAIRS. I HAVE NEVER IN MY MANY OF CARS ALONG WITH FAMILY MEMBER HAD AUTO REPAIR SUCH AS THIS. I CAN'T WAIT TO GOT BACK TO A FOREIGN AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC AGAIN. GMC SAID THY WOULD GET THE DEAL TO HELP WITH HALF THE REPAIR, BUT THE DEAL HERE CHANGED NAMES AND MANAGEMENT FROM MILLSAPS TO TEEAMS AUTO. THESE CARS COST WAY TOO MUCH FOR THINGS LIKE THIS TO GO WRONG. I WANT TO VOICE MY OPINION ABOUT TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT WILL AT LEAST READ ABOUT IT. THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY WAY TO MUCH FOR SOMETHING THEY ALREADY PAID FOR. MY TRUCK IS ROLLING MILES THAT I AM NOT REALLY DRIVING AND THIS IS SAD. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF GETTING THIS TRUCK USED AND THAT WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MAKER DOES NOT CAR ENOUGH ABOUT THE CONSUMER TO MAKE IT RIGHT. THIS IS PROBABLY SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE ECONOMY NOW AND THAT THE LITTLE MAN HAS TO PAY THE COST BECAUSE THE MONEY MAKERS WILL NOT HONOR RIGHT WITH THE CONSUMERS, YOU CAN'T CHEAT PEOPLE AND/OR BE DISHONEST AND THINK IT WILL NOT COME BACK TO YOU. I HAVE NOT HAD PERFORMANCE FAILURE, BUT I AM CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFETY WITH SUCH PROBLEMS AS GEAR SHIFT ELECTRONIC ACTUATOR FAILING. *TR

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY MPH AND RPM GAUGES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PUT ON ALL GMC/CHEVY TRUCKS AND SUV FOR THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER EXCEPT FOR THE ENVOY, ANY NEWER MODELS. THE PART IS AT LEAST 500 AND ADVISED CAN ONLY BE DONE BY DEALERSHIP DUE TO PROGRAMMING. IM FURIOUS, MY TRUCK IS ONLY AT ABOUT 53,000 MILES. THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE UNDER RECALL FOR THE ENVOY ASAP! *TR

THIS PAST MONTH THE SPEEDOMETER SET AT 40 MPH WITH CAR IN "PARK" POSITION. AFTERWARD WHEN DRIVING, MY ACTUAL SPEED HAD 40MPH ADDED TO THE READING. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES SO FAR IN OCTOBER 2008. *TR
