2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 91 SOUTH, GLANCED DOWN TO SEE MY SPEEDOMETER INDICATED I WAS TRAVELING 75 MILES PERHOUR LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO DECREASE SPEED WHEN I REALIZED THE VEHICLE BEHIND MINE HAD TO PULL AROUND MY VEHICLE TO AVOID HITTING MINE IN THE REAR. SEVERAL MILES LATER I DISCOVERED MY SPEEDOMETER INDICATED I WAS TRAVELING 120MPH ALTHOUGH KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC. AS I PULLED OF HIGHWAY AND HIT MY BRAKES THE SPEEDOMETER DECREASED IN SPEED, ALTHOUGH WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP SPEEDOMETER INDICATED I WAS TRAVELING 30 MPH. THIS CAUSES SOME CONCERN SINCE I ONLY HAVE 41,119 MILES ON MY 2005 ENVOY XUV. I CONTACTED GMC AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH A GMC DEALER TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE AFTER SOME RESEARCH HAD BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND FIND IT DIFFICULT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MADE FOR THIS ISSUE. SPEED IS A HAZARD, THAT'S WHY SPEED LIMITS ARE POSTED, THAT'S ALSO WHY SPEEDOMETERS ARE PUT INTO VEHICLES IN THE FIRST PLACE. LETS PRAY FOR ONCE THAT SOMEONE IS NOT INJURED SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DRIVER COULD NOT AFFORD TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY GM. *TR

1. EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE WERE NORMAL DRIVING IN WINTER CONDITIONS. 2. PASSENGER DOOR LATCHES SEIZE FROM CORROSION. PASSENGER DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, PASSENGERS COULD NOT EXIT VEHICLE AFTER A 4 HOUR RIDE. THERE IS NO SEAL TO PREVENT WATER, SALT, DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR AND THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISMS DURING NORMAL VEHICULAR OPERATION. 3. DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED. *TR

NEVER HAD FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS BEFORE, FILLED MY TANK, DROVE AWAY FROM GAS STATION AND WITHIN ONE MILE, THE FUEL BELL WENT OFF AND THE WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON. WENT BACK TO GAS STATION THINKING I HAD BEEN RIPPED OFF, BUT OWNER SHOWED ME ON GAS PUMP THAT IT HAD PUMPED $60 WORTH OF GAS. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, THE WARNING LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I'VE BEEN GIVEN QUOTES TO FIX IT RANGING FROM $400 TO $600. WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS, GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX FOR EVERYONE FREE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILED. IT NOW EITHER DISPLAYS NO SPEED OR AN INACCURATE READING. *TR

I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS BUT SINCE THEY HAD REMOVED THE BATTERY AND RE-CONNECTED IT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD WORK CORRECTLY. I WORKED CORRECTLY FOR 2 DAYS. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY. COMING TO A STOP, PUT FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL, FOOT SLIPPED OFF, CAR CONTINUED MOVING INTO PASSING CAR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED JULY , 2009 BUT WITH MORE DAMAGE. PRIOR TO THESE INCIDENTS, HAD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN FEET SLIPPED. [2 DIFFERENT DRIVERS] PEDAL IS EITHER WRONG SIZE, MATERIAL, OR PLACED IN WRONG PLACE. AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW, IT IS PARKED IN GARAGE. YOUR FORM DOES NOT ALLOW FOR "BRAKE PEDAL" . I MARKED SERVICE BRAKES, BUT IT WASN'T THE BRAKES. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL IS PEGGED AT 120 MPH AND STAYS THERE ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH GMC PRODUCTS. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MANY GMC PRODUCTS BUT DOSE NOT INCLUDE THE ENVOY LINE. WHY IS THIS? NO ACCIDENT SO FAR BUT VERY UNSAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE WHERE YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. CAR HAD 42000 MILES WHEN IT QUIT. CAR NOW HAS 50200 MILES ON IT. GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AND SOMETIMES WILL FLOAT JUST ABOVE EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. CAR HAS LEFT FAMILY ALONG SIDE ROAD WHILE WAITING FOR HELP. SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE IS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. *TR UPDATED 02/01/10 *BF UPDATED 02/02/10.*JB

FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AND WARNING SOUND CONTINUES AFTER FILLING UP. THE GAS GAUGE STAYS ON AND THE WARNING SIGNAL CONTINUES TO CHIME AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER CONSTANTLY SHOWS DIFFERENT SPEEDS. WILL BE DRIVING DOWN EXPRESSWAY AT 65MPH AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT SHOWS 90MPH SO YOU SLOW DOWN 65 AGAIN AND REALIZE THAT EVERYONE FLIES BY. THE BEST I CAN FIGURE IS IT WILL SUDDENLY SHOW A DIFFERENT SPEED THAN ONE IS ACTUALLY GOING FROM 20MPH LESS TO 40MPH MORE. DIFFERENT EVERY TIME. *TR
