2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

OUR VEHICLE HAS A SPEEDOMETER THAT INTERMITTENTLY READS MANY MPH OVER THE ACTUAL SPEED. THE INTERNET FORUM THAT REFERRED US HERE HAS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TROUBLE. THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE OUR MAKE OF VEHICLE ON THE LETTER THAT COVERS THIS ISSUES ON MANY OTHER MAKES. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY ENVOY XUV JUMPED FROM 75MPH TO 120MOH AS I SLOWED DOWN TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE. IT CONTINUED TO INCREASE, ALTHOUGH IT WAS PAST THE POINT OF REGISTERING ANY SPEED. IT HAS LOWERED SOME, BUT IS STILL ACTING ERRATICALLY. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, AND I'M LOOKING AT A $500+ REPAIR. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY HEADLIGHTS WOULD PERIODICALLY DIMM AND GO OFF DURING BREAKING. WITHOUT WARNING HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITH NO INDICATION. REPAIR AT GMC DEALER COST $130 FOR A "HDM RELAY". VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE AS NO FUSES FAILED, NO LAMPS FAILED, BUT A HIDDEN COMPONENT FAILED WHICH CAUSED ME TO GO OFF A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AT NIGHT. *TR

FAULTY TACH AND SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING MY ACTUAL DRIVING SPEED. SITTING STILL IT WILL SHOW 100+ MPH. I TRAVELED DOWN AN OFF RAMP TODAY DOING 120 MPH. MY WIFE CAN'T HANDLE THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. MY LOCAL GMC DEALER WANTS $500 TO FIX IT. HE STATED MANY 2003, 2004, 2005 AND 2006 GM VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I NEARLY RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET AND THE COP DID NOT BELIEVE ME WHEN I TOLD HIM MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS ONLY DOING 60. *TR

THE OUTER SIDE OF THE SIDE WALL BLEW COMPLETELY OUT. NO TIRE DAMAGE. SIDE WALL BLEW OUT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMV ENVOY BEHAVES ERRATICALLY AND DOES NOT WORK. WHEN STARTING UP AUTO SPEEDOMETER COULD BE AT ZERO OR UP TO 100 OR CONTINUES TO NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE NO IDEAL AT EXACTLY WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I WOULD THINK THIS SHOULD BE A "SAFETY ISSUE" AND SHOULD BE REASON FOR A RECALL. *TR

I TRADED MY 2005 FORD FOCUS 26410 MILES TO WADE RAULERSON GMC ON OCTOBER 3, 2007 WROTE TWO CHECKS IN THE AMOUNT OF 500.00 EACH THAT THEY HELD FOR FOUR WEEKS FOR A DOWN PAYMENT. WE LOOKED AT A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 65,000 MILES THE SALESMAN QUOTED US A PRICE OF 17,000 SO WE DID THE PAPER WORK THE FIRST TIME ON THE 16TH WE WERE CALLED IN AGAIN AND TOLD WE HAD TO SIGN MORE DOCUMENTS THIS TIME THE PRICE OF THE ENVOY ROSE TO 21698.35, I ASKED ABOUT MY 05 FOCUS WAS TOLD IT SOLD THE NEXT DAY AND WE HAD TO HAVE GAP PROTECTION. PAYOFF ON MY CAR WAS 12,502.95 AND IT LOOKED AS IF THEY WERE GIVING ME 14900.00 BUT RAISED THE PRICE OF THE TRUCK BY 4000.00. BAD DEAL TO BEGIN WITH. THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. I HAD TO RETURN IT AT THE END OF THE MONTH IN OCTOBER 2007 TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS, SEATBELT, AND MOTOR IN THE WINDOW REPLACED, AND DIAGNOSED TO FIND WHY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT. TWO WEEKS LATER STRANDED AT THE DAYCARE I HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. ON 05/05/2008 THE CONDITIONER WENT OUT. I PAID THE DEALERSHIP OVER 100.00 TO TELL ME IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL 600.00 PLUS DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE MODE ACTUATOR DOOR MOTOR. OCTOBER 17, 2008 I SPENT 375.02 TO HAVE BOTH THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE AND GEAR SHIFT LEVER REMOVED AND REPLACED. THANK GOD I WAS ACTUALLY ON A PARKING LOT WHEN THE CABLE BROKE AND NOT IN TRAFFIC. CONTACTING WADE RAULERSON GMC HAS BEEN USELESS I HAVE PRACTICALLY BEEN TOLD YOU BOUGHT THE "LEMON" AS-IS NOW IT'S YOUR TROUBLES! THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINST THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS AND NOT JUST FOR NEW CARS. NOW NO-ONE WILL TOUCH IT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS IT IS HAVING AND THE LARGE AMOUNT THAT'S NOW OWED. EVERY TIME THE VIN IS PULLED I GET PUSHED OUT OF THE DOOR FASTER THAN I CAN BLINK. BTW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND HAS BEEN SINCE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. I?M TIRED OF HONEST HARD-WORKING PEOPLE BEING RAKED OVER THE COALS BY UNSCRUPULOUS DEALERS WHILE THEY GET PROTECTED BY THE "AS-IS" RULE THEN LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK. *TR

THE TRUCK'S DIM LIGHTS ALL OF THE SUDDEN STOP WORKING. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS COME ON, BUT THE DIM LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. THE BULBS WERE CHECKED, AND THE DIMMER SWITCH. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 MECHANICS, AND NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS. I CAN'T GET MY TAGS RENEWED BECAUSE THE DIM LIGHTS DON'T WORK AT ALL. I'VE CALLED GMC TO SEE OF ANY RECALLS, AND THEY STATED ONLY REAR TAIL LIGHTS. I DEFINITELY THINK ITS A MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT, AND WOULD LIKE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, MY BACK WINDOW WOULD SOMETIMES JUST GO DOWN. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH THE WINDOW MOTOR STARTED RUNNING AND RUNNING TRYING TO PUT THE WINDOW UP, ALTHOUGH IT WOULDN'T GO UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND 700 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY...WOULDN'T COVER IT, SO $400 TO REPAIR THE REGULATOR. NOW, THE MID WINDOW IS DOWN AND WON'T WORK. THE QUOTE FOR THIS IS $500. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE - GM SHOULD SUPPLY THE REGULATOR AT NO COST. SOME PEOPLES WINDOWS HAVE ACTUALLY EXPLODED....NOW THAT SOUNDS DANGEROUS. *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND WITH NO WARNING BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER TOPPED OUT AND HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE. *TR
