2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER SPORADICALLY FAILED AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND IS AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 26,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BOOM AND A GRINDING NOISE. SHE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HER MECHANIC AND THEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DIFFERENTIAL CASING WAS CRACKED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 71,838.

WELL LETS JUST SAY AFTER RECEIVING THE ENVOY BACK FROM THE DEALER FOR REPLACING THE GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION IN WHICH GM DID NOT FIND TO BE AT FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION @ 31,000 MILES WHEN I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. SO OVER THE NEXT MONTHS FOLLOWING THIS MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT @ 52000 MILES, SO GM HAD ME PAY A 500 DEDUCTIBLE. NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR THE COOLANT SYSTEM ACCORDING TO ON-STAR, SO BACK OFF TO THE DELAERSHIP FOR NOT CHECKING ALL THE CODES FOR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER INSIDE THE GAS TANK, THE GAS TANK NECK, THE BATTERY @ 38,000 MILES, AND TIRES @ 28000 MILES, BRAKES @ 38000 EVEN WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND COMPLAINED 3 TIMES ABOUT THE BRAKES. AS I FURTHER INVESTIGATED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD OTHERS HAVE HAD REPORTED TO LEMON LAW, NHSTA, BBB. THESE ITEMS HAVE HAPPENED FROM THE START OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE UP UNTIL MARCH OF 2008. *TR

TRUCK SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS CONTINUOUSLY COME ON AND OFF. THE TRANSMISSION WENT AND LOST ALL GEARS AT 52,000 MILES, AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AT 31,000 MILES FOR THE SAME REASON. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ITEMS IN WHICH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON: TRANSMISSION SEVERAL TIMES BUT DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING, FUEL CAP, FUEL TANK NECK, INTERNAL GAUGE FOR THE FUEL TANK, AND ONLY TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK ON 3/19/08 AND FOR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AGAIN. I SWEAR THIS TRUCK IS A TOTAL LEMON! I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS LAST TIME WAS A TOTAL FIGHT WITH THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION, ALONG WITH NO MORALS AND RESPECT FOR THE CONSUMER FROM GM THEMSELVES OR THE DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE ENDED UP WITH A LEMON, AND THERE IS NOT A DARN THING I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO THINK THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. CONTACTED ON-STAR TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS EVERY TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING SO I END UP TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR 65.00 AN HOUR FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND BEING TOLD THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AND WAS ASSURED THAT THEY RAN ALL DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS AND CLEARED ALL THE CODES AFTER FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS BEGINNING TO BECOME VERY ANNOYING, COSTLY, AND UNRELIABLE WHEN TRANSPORTING CHILDREN IN WHAT I CALL AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I HAVE PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH WITH SUCH LOW MILES! *TR

JUST ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THE SPEEDOMETER; VEHICLE NOW HAS 50,000 MILES, SO IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER WON'T FIX. PULL UP TO A STOP SIGN AND SPEEDOMETER STILL READS 20 MPH. VARIES ALL OVER THE PLACE. IF GMC DOESN'T RECALL, I WILL HAVE ENJOYED BOTH MY FIRST AND LAST GMC AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

GMC DEALER SERVICE TECH FOUND THE WIRE TO REAR DEFROSTER CORRODED AND BROKEN. REPAIRED WIRING. *TR

END GATE WOULD NOT SWING OPEN. GLASS LOWERS. ENDGATE OPENS FLAT. EMERGENCY BUTTON DOES NOT WORK EITHER. SINCE YOU CAN NOT SWING OPEN THE ENDGATE YOU CAN NOT ACCESS THE HOIST DRIVE SHAFT HOLE TO ALLOW THE UNDERBODY-MOUNTED SPARE TIRE TO BE LOWERED. GMC DEALER SERVICE TECH DIAGNOSED OPEN IN TAILGATE END SWITCH. REPLACED TAILGATE END SWITCH ON 2/21/2008. *TR

SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS STUCK ABOVE 120 MPH. IT NEVER SHOWS THE CORRECT SPEED THE VEHICLE IS GOING. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON 2004 GMC ENVORY STARTED ACTING UP AND WOULD READ TWICE THE ACTUAL SPEED OF VEHICLE. THEN IT FROZE AT 80 MPH. IT STILLS IS NOT WORKING. IT JUMPS AROUND ALL THE TIME NOW. *TR

I OWN A 2004 GMC ENVOY AND I LIKE OTHERS HAVE A SPEEDOMETER THAT HAS FAILED ALSO....AND THE TACHOMETER HAS ALSO FAILED...SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS THE SPEED BUT IT IS NOT THE CORRECT ONE...AS I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND IT SHOWED I WAS GOING 10MPH....OTHER TIMES IT JUST SITS ON 0.... *TR
