2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AND DEALER WON'T COVER UNDER WARRANTY. SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH GMC VEHICLES. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. $500 TO REPLACE. GM WILL NOT HELP, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE UNITS THAT ARE ON THE STREETS. THEY HAVE RECALL ON PICKUP TRUCKS FOR SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PER GM, SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE ACT UP ON THEIR OWN. CANNOT RELY ON GAUGES WHILE DRIVING... *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES WILL DISPLAY SPEEDS LESS THAN MY ACTUAL SPEED. THIS CREATES AN UNSAFE SITUATION WHERE I CANNOT ENSURE THAT I AM DRIVING WITHIN POSTED SPEED LIMITS. *TR

THIS PAST WEEKEND 08-23-08 AND 08-24-08. THE ANALOG DASH CLUSTER WENT OUT ON MY 2004 GMS ENVOY. WHEN IT WENT OUT I MEAN COMPLETELY OUT NO TACH, SPEED OR AND OR THE GAUGES WORKED. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY. IT WAS CHECKED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE DASH CLUSTER WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE REASON BEING IF IT WHERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING LIKE IT DID TO ME. IT COULD BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN AN ACCIDENT. NOT KNOW HOW FAST ONE IS GOING CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS A NEW DASH CLUSTER ON ORDER WHICH SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY WEDNESDAY 08-27-08. *TR

DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED AND NOTICED SPEEDOMETER WAS READING INCORRECTLY--MUCH HIGHER THAN ACTUAL. VEHICLE DRIVEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, WITH CONTINUED INCORRECT SPEED RATING. ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AT 68,000 MILES WITH NO PREVIOUS REPAIR NOTED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A GATE, WENT AIRBORNE, DROPPED APPROXIMATELY 35 FEET DOWN AN EMBANKMENT, STRUCK SOME TREES, BOULDERS, AND LANDED IN A SWAMP. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE LIFTED FROM THE EMBANKMENT WITH A CRANE AND WAS TOWED AWAY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 51,000.

I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV PREOWNED IN 2005 STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT BEGAN DIMMING THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BOARD AND AT THE RADIO AREA, I TOOK IT IN TO GMC FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION MY CAR WOULD GET LOUDER UNDERNEATH THE HOOD IF I SAT IDLING FOR A FEW MINUTES IN A DRIVE THROUGH FOR EXAMPLE, I TOOK IT IN ONCE AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. NOW MY ODOMETER WORKS OFF AND ON AS DOES MY OIL GAUGE. NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS OUT I WOULD HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL TO A FEW PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE POINTED OUT TO THE GMC DEALER SHIP ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I HAVE EVEN GONE AS FAR AS TO ASK IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND WAS TOLD NO THERE WERE NOT. AT ONE POINT MY MIDDLE WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING I TOOK IT TO GMC TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REGULATOR, INSURANCE DID NOT COVER THIS AND THE WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS LATER MY BACK WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN THEREFORE THE TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN, BACK TO GMC I WENT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REGULATOR ONCE AGAIN, AT THIS POINT I ASKED AGAIN ABOUT RECALLS AND WHY BOTH REGULATORS WOULD GO BAD WITHIN WEEKS OF ONE ANOTHER, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COINCIDENCE. JUST AS RECENT AS JULY 24 MY POWER LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THERE OWN EVEN WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT ALL CHECKED OUT FINE. AT THIS POINT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GMC TO ANYONE OR BUY ANOTHER! HELP *TR

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER ON 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV SHOWS VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM ZERO TO 120+ MPH WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL ROAD SPEEDS. NEED TO USE TACHOMETER TO DETERMINE APPROXIMATE SPEED OF VEHICLE (2000 RPM = 65 MPH FOR THIS VEHICLE). WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DOES NOT ALWAYS RETURN TO ZERO, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE ALSO SHUTTERS A LITTLE INTERMITTENTLY WHEN REDUCING SPEED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING PROPERLY ON FRIDAY, JULY 11. BY MONDAY MORNING, IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. *TR
