2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

2004 GMC ENVOY INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS INOPERATIVE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, AND FUEL GAUGE. VEHICLE HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC; SHOWING WRONG SPEED ALMOST ALL THE TIME. 1000S OF REPORTS OF THIS ON INTERNET IN GM AND CHEVROLET SUVS OF THE SAME TYPE. I HAVE 2004 ENVOY XL AND THIS COST ME AROUND $600. THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS SAME PART IS USED ON MANY OF THE GM AND CHEVROLET VEHICLES AS THERE ARE EVEN OUTSIDE BUSINESSES WHO NOW FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY CASES IN GMS. PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE IN THE VEHICLE SPEED SECTION BUT SOME ARE INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR SOME MODELS BUT NOT MY MODEL. IF IT IS TRULY THE SAME PART THEN WHY ISN'T MY MODEL INCLUDED? *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO SHOW INCORRECT SPEED (E.G. ON THE HIGHWAY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC FLOW AND SPEEDOMETER READS 20 MPH). OTHER GAUGES SHOWING PROBLEMS (E.G. TACHOMETER SHOWING 7000 RPMS WHEN IDLING, ALL OTHER GAUGES POSITIONED IN AREAS BELOW OR ABOVE THERE LIMITS, ETC.). THERE SEEM TO BE A HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER, THAY STATE IT NEEDS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL REPLACED, ESTIMATE OVER $500.*CN

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL MALFUNCTIONED. ITS READINGS ARE VERY ERRATIC AND DO NOT CORRESPOND AT ALL WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE, READINGS OF 10 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND 100 MPH WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE READINGS VARY ANYWHERE FROM O MPH TO PAST 120 MPH AND ARE COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. THE FIRST SIGN WAS THE SPEEDOMETER STICKING AT 10 MPH EVEN AS I ACCELERATED; IT THEN BEGAN THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR MENTIONED ABOVE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING TO ME SINCE THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AS I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM INDIANA TO SOUTH CAROLINA WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED YESTERDAY AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD BOTH REAR TAILGATE SENSORS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER ACTING ERRATICALLY OFF AND ON OFF AND ON. I HAVE HAD THE STARTER SWITCH GO OUT TWICE. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XUV FAULTY SPEEDOMETER, THE SPEEDOMETER READS FALSE READING, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY DOING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS 55 AND I WAS PULLED OVER FOR DOING 72 MILES IN A 55 ZONE. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY UNSAFE HITCH. CONSUMER STATES THAT CLIP IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE HITCH PIN IN PLACE IS SO DESIGNED TO FIT OVER THE PIN TO HOLD IT IN PLACE, IS NOT SAFELY DESIGN. CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED A SAFER DESIGN FOR THE PIN AND CLIP WOULD BE TO HAVE A HOLE DRILLED INTO THE PIN WHEREBY THE CLIP COULD BE INSERTED INTO THE HOLE THEREBY ALLEVIATING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CLIP BEING JARRED LOOSE FROM THE PIN. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE TRAILER SLIGHTLY WENT AIRBORNE, FLIPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND THE TONGUE OF THE TRAILER STARTED HITTING THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SOON DISCOVERED THE SAFETY CHAINS HAD COME LOOSE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE HITCH DENIED THE CONSUMERS CLAIM. THEY STATED THAT THEIR PRODUCT WAS SAFE AND THERE WAS NO STRESS ON THE CLIP. *JB
