2004 GMC ENVOY XL Complaints

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER OPERATION, WE TOOK IT IN TO IN TO BE CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW CLUSTER, ALSO WHILE IT WAS THERE I HAD THEM CHECK THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT WHICH CAME ON ERRATICALLY AND THEY SAID IT ALSO NEEDED A NEW MODULE. THIS IS FOR A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 64,984 MILES. NO EXTENDED WARRANTY SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE ALL THE WORK DONE. THE DAY I HAD IT CHECKED OUT THE SERVICE REP DID SAY THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH A CERTAIN YEAR AND IF WE HAD THE RIGHT YEAR AND VEHICLE AND IF IT WAS UNDER 70,000 MILES THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. WHEN WE CAME BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE WORK DONE HE SAID AFTER I ASKED HIM IT WAS FOR A SILVERADO NOT SURE IF HE SAID 2003 OR 2004 BUT NOT FOR OUR VEHICLE..... I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AFTER 40 YEARS OF BUYING GM VEHICLES THAT GM DIDN'T TAKE CARE OR HELP TAKE CARE OF THE COST OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

MY 2004 GMC ENVOYS SPEEDO IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE FUEL GAUGE IS ACTING UP TOO. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT ON MY GMC 2004 ENVOY. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PERSON HELPING ME SAID THAT THEY GET ALOT OF REPAIR REQUESTS FOR THE SPEEDOMETERS GOING OUT ON THE GMC'S. SO I STATED IF THIS IS AN OFTEN OCCURRENCE IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL BEING THAT THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR ALOT. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT ON LINE TO PULL THE REVIEWS AND TO SEE WHAT OTHERS WERE TALKING ABOUT. THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT A I WAS NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN I WENT ONTO MY IPHONE APPLICATION TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD ASSIST ME BEING THAT I WAS GOING OUT OF TOWN I FOUND AN APPLICATION AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE POSTING A REVIEW WAS A GUY WHO WAS OUT OF TOWN AND HIS SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AND HE TOO WAS ABLE TO FIND THE SAME SPEEDOMETER THAT I HAD TO USE IN ORDER FOR HIM TO GET BACK TO WHERE HE WAS GOING. AS A CUSTOMER I FEEL THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING AT THE 35,000-45,000 MARK OF THESE VEHICLES THEN IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE GOOD ON THIS MALFUNCTION. MY CAR IS NOT QUITE 5 YEARS AND I ONLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 42,500 MILES ON MY TRUCK. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUICK WORKING. DEALER DIAGNOSED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR PARTS AND LABOR IN EXCESS OF $600. POTENTIAL LOSS OF ALL GAUGES WHILE DRIVING PRIOR TO REPAIR. *TR

OUR VEHICLE HAS A SPEEDOMETER THAT INTERMITTENTLY READS MANY MPH OVER THE ACTUAL SPEED. THE INTERNET FORUM THAT REFERRED US HERE HAS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TROUBLE. THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE OUR MAKE OF VEHICLE ON THE LETTER THAT COVERS THIS ISSUES ON MANY OTHER MAKES. *TR

FAULTY TACH AND SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING MY ACTUAL DRIVING SPEED. SITTING STILL IT WILL SHOW 100+ MPH. I TRAVELED DOWN AN OFF RAMP TODAY DOING 120 MPH. MY WIFE CAN'T HANDLE THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. MY LOCAL GMC DEALER WANTS $500 TO FIX IT. HE STATED MANY 2003, 2004, 2005 AND 2006 GM VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I NEARLY RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET AND THE COP DID NOT BELIEVE ME WHEN I TOLD HIM MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS ONLY DOING 60. *TR

I TRADED MY 2005 FORD FOCUS 26410 MILES TO WADE RAULERSON GMC ON OCTOBER 3, 2007 WROTE TWO CHECKS IN THE AMOUNT OF 500.00 EACH THAT THEY HELD FOR FOUR WEEKS FOR A DOWN PAYMENT. WE LOOKED AT A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 65,000 MILES THE SALESMAN QUOTED US A PRICE OF 17,000 SO WE DID THE PAPER WORK THE FIRST TIME ON THE 16TH WE WERE CALLED IN AGAIN AND TOLD WE HAD TO SIGN MORE DOCUMENTS THIS TIME THE PRICE OF THE ENVOY ROSE TO 21698.35, I ASKED ABOUT MY 05 FOCUS WAS TOLD IT SOLD THE NEXT DAY AND WE HAD TO HAVE GAP PROTECTION. PAYOFF ON MY CAR WAS 12,502.95 AND IT LOOKED AS IF THEY WERE GIVING ME 14900.00 BUT RAISED THE PRICE OF THE TRUCK BY 4000.00. BAD DEAL TO BEGIN WITH. THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. I HAD TO RETURN IT AT THE END OF THE MONTH IN OCTOBER 2007 TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS, SEATBELT, AND MOTOR IN THE WINDOW REPLACED, AND DIAGNOSED TO FIND WHY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT. TWO WEEKS LATER STRANDED AT THE DAYCARE I HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. ON 05/05/2008 THE CONDITIONER WENT OUT. I PAID THE DEALERSHIP OVER 100.00 TO TELL ME IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL 600.00 PLUS DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE MODE ACTUATOR DOOR MOTOR. OCTOBER 17, 2008 I SPENT 375.02 TO HAVE BOTH THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE AND GEAR SHIFT LEVER REMOVED AND REPLACED. THANK GOD I WAS ACTUALLY ON A PARKING LOT WHEN THE CABLE BROKE AND NOT IN TRAFFIC. CONTACTING WADE RAULERSON GMC HAS BEEN USELESS I HAVE PRACTICALLY BEEN TOLD YOU BOUGHT THE "LEMON" AS-IS NOW IT'S YOUR TROUBLES! THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINST THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS AND NOT JUST FOR NEW CARS. NOW NO-ONE WILL TOUCH IT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS IT IS HAVING AND THE LARGE AMOUNT THAT'S NOW OWED. EVERY TIME THE VIN IS PULLED I GET PUSHED OUT OF THE DOOR FASTER THAN I CAN BLINK. BTW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND HAS BEEN SINCE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. I?M TIRED OF HONEST HARD-WORKING PEOPLE BEING RAKED OVER THE COALS BY UNSCRUPULOUS DEALERS WHILE THEY GET PROTECTED BY THE "AS-IS" RULE THEN LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK. *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND WITH NO WARNING BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER TOPPED OUT AND HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE. *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

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
