2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

MY SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK AND DOES NOT FUNCTION AT TIMES. ALTHOUGH NO HARM HAS BEEN CAUSED, IT IS A CONCERN THAT I'VE SEEN MANY OTHERS FILE COMPLAINTS ON. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL SOMETIMES SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING A CERTAIN MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. EXAMPLE: VEHICLE IS IN PARK. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 34 MPH. WHEN DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER BASES IT'S SPEED OFF OF 34 MPH BEING AT 0 AND ACTUAL SPEED IS 34MPH HIGHER THAN WHAT I AM ACTUALLY GOING. ALSO, VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WILL SOMETIMES GET STUCK PAST 120MPH BECAUSE OF THE NEEDLE BEING AT A CERTAIN SPEED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN MOVING. *TR

WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AT 33,000 MILES AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THE CHECKED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT, AT 50K WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH LOST THE POWER TRAIN. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION AND THREE WEEKS THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO FIX FOR 500 VICE 3300 WHICH THEY WANTED. A WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN AND NOW WE LOST POWER STEERING AND THE GAS NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WIESNER GMC IN CONROE TX AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED ANY CALLS. I AM NOW TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC TO TRIED TO GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

THE MPH AND RPM GAUGES NOT WORKING. NEEDLE WOULD NOT GO DOWN TO ZERO. WOULD GET STUCK IN ONE MPH AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM THERE. WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN TO ZERO IN 5MPH INCREMENTS BY STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE, BUT THEN AFTER DRIVING IT WOULD STICK AT 40 AND UP. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT MY OTHER 2004 CHEVY TRUCK RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM MY GMC WAS HAVING. HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE DASH BOARD CLUSTER(OVER $500.00). I NEEDED TO KNOW THE SPEED I WAS DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

MY 2004 ENVOY XUV REAR TAILGATE HAS 2 BROKEN RELEASES IN IT. AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, THE ONLY WAY TO ACCESS THE REAR ENCLOSED PART OF THIS VEHICLE IS THROUGH THE REAR DOOR, IF THERE IS NO REAR ACCESS, THEN YOU CANNOT GET WHAT IS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE OUT. IN MY CASE, A DOG WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT THE MIDGATE WINDOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE IS TOO SMALL TO GET THE DOG OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS AS EVEN IF THERE WAS A ACCESS TO THE REAR THROUGH THE CENTER MIDGATE, SOME OBJECTS COULD GET PLACED IN THE REAR AREA THAT ARE TOO LARGE TO REMOVE VIA THE MIDGATE AND SIDE DOORS AND IF THE REAR TAILGATE CANNOT BE OPENED, THE OBJECTS WILL NEVER BE REMOVED. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING HEADLIGHTS WILL PERIODICALLY DIM AND BRIGHTEN WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

I BOUGHT MY NEW VEHICLE LAST WEEK AND DISCOVERED AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF IT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER RAMPS UP BUT DOES NOT GO DOWN. AS IT IS PARKED IT READS BETWEEN 38 AND 120+. DEALERS SAY SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL THEY CANNOT HELP ME AND HAVE QUOTED BETWEEN A 500 DOLLAR AND 1,000 DOLLAR FIX. *TR

SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER FAILURE. I KNOW OF 3 CLUSTER FAILURES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. THAT'S JUST MY NEIGHBOR AND MY SISTER AND MYSELF. THIS IS A 500.00 REPAIR AND I'M SURE THAT THIS CAN'T BE ISOLATED OCCURRENCES. *TR

SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING, SHOWING HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 95-120+MPH, ONLY WENT DOWN TO 20MPH AT LOWEST WHEN CAR IS STOPPED. USUALLY READS 60 AT STOP. MESH CHECKED IT & SAYS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ALL OTHER GAUGES OK. SEEMS LIKE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO GET GM TO CORRECT THIS, WITHOUT CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. FAILURE NOW LASTED 6 MOTHS - USING GPS TO DETERMINE SPEED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER ARE NOT WORKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON. *TR
