2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BECOME ERRATIC ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. I WAS TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP IT WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT IN THE RANGE OF 300 DOLLARS JUST FOR PARTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CONVENIENTLY APPEARS SHORTLY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY. FROM WEB POSTS IT IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET AND MY INSPECTION IS DUE!!!!! *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON 2004 ENVOY XUV LEASE STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AFTER WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT. SHOWED 120 MPH AT RESTING SOMETIMES, OFTEN STUCK AT 120-130 MPH. THIS APPEARED TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT FROM MY RESEARCH, AND THE DEALER WANTED ME TO PAY FOR THIS WHEN TURNING THE CAR IN. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS CRACKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

1) THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING A FEW MONTHS AGO. 2) MY INSPECTION STICKER IS NOW DUE TO BE REPLACED, BUT I CAN'T GET ONE WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING. 3) CUSTOMER SERVICE THRU GMC WAS NO HELP AT ALL. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WHICH I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR, THEN THEY WILL REVIEW THE CASE. OH HOW NICE, REVIEW IT JUST TO TELL ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?! I'VE SEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ON THE INTERNET. WHY HASN'T ANYTHING BEEN DONE? IF YOUR EVERYDAY AVERAGE JOE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WORK/PRODUCTS HE/SHE PUTS OUT, WHY NOT THE BIG CORPORATIONS?

WHENEVER I TURN ON MY HEATING SYSTEM FAN, MY WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ABS AND BRAKE FAILURE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE ON DASH COMPUTER INDICATES SERVICE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AND THEY ARE FINE. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION. CAR IS AT DEALER NOW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TREAD ON THE MICHELIN CROSS-TERRAIN TIRES SEPARATED. A MICHELIN DEALER INSPECTED THE TIRE, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS PUNCTURING THE TIRE. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR. THE DOT NUMBER AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 36,000.

SPEEDOMETER READING 25 MPH AT FULL STOP. N4180 CLUSTER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. INSTRUMENT PANEL BUTTONS WERE THEN NOT WORKING AS THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY. WORKING ON THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER. *AK

I OWN A 2004 ENVOY XL 2 WD. IT HAS 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE SPEEDOMETER READ ZERO WHILE THE CAR WAS ABOVE 40 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINED OFF LINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT WAS STOPPED WITH TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. UPON START UP,THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BEGAN TO RECOGNIZE THE ACTUAL SPEED VARIATIONS OF THE DRIVE. UNDOCUMENTED RATES OF SPEED COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. WHEN WILL THE NEXT TIME WHEN THIS RECURS ON THE VEHICLE? WILL THIS AND/OR COULD THIS CAUSE AN ACCIDENT? *AK

WHEN KEY WAS TURNED IN IGNITION ALL LIGHTS WOULD WORK ,BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. SPEEDOMETER WOULD JUMP TO 70 MPH ,AND TACHOMETER WOULD JUMP TO APPROXIMATELY 2000 RPMS EVEN THOUGH ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM TO BE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE AT POSITION IGNITION ONE.*AK

RPM GAUGE SHOWS I AM AT 7000 RPM WHEN STOPPED AT IDLE. WHILE DRIVING THE GAUGE MOVES BACKWARDS, TO A NEGATIVE RAMP NUMBER, BELOW THE ZERO. WENT TO SHOP TODAY AND COULDN'T FIX IT. WILL GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP NEXT WEEK TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK
