2004 GMC ENVOY XL Complaints

THE ONE "ELECTRICAL" PART THAT CONTROLS THE INSTRUMENTS THAT GIVE THE SPEED OF THE CAR, RPMS, GAS, OIL, ECT....ALL GAUGES DO NOT WORK. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS YET WITH GMC, I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR RIGHT AFTER THE 60K MILE MARK. THIS IS A TRUE "DANGER"...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED, HOW MUCH GAS, WHAT MY ENGINE IS DOING...NOTHING...THE DEALERSHIPS WANT ANYWHERE FROM $400.00 TO $600.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A TRUE MECHANICAL DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, SAID THAT GMC HAS A REAL PROBLEM....THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ONE PART OFTEN. ITS SOMETHING THEY SEE OFTEN. I WANT GMC TO RECALL THIS PART AND FAST...I NEED MY GAUGES TO WORK. *JB

MY 2004 ENVOY AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A YEAR WITH NO LONG ROAD TRIPS THE TIRES HAD WORN UNEVENLY AND TWO WERE ALMOST BALD. THIS IS A SHORT TIME FOR TIRES AND THEY WERE ROTATED WHEN NEED. THE WARRANTY COVERED REPLACING THE TIRES AND NOW IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER YEAR OR SO AND THEY HAVE DO THE SAME THING. GMC DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN, THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL WEAR. SO MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY PEOPLE REPLACE THEIR TIRES EVERY YEAR? *NM

PROBLEM WITH BRAKE LIGHT NOT COMING ON. THE FUSES AND TAIL LIGHTS HAVE BEEN CHECKED; ALL FUSES AND BULBS ARE FUNCTIONING. THIS IS HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING, FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS UNSUSPECTED DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THIS WILL ALSO CREATE PROBLEMS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ME OR ANYONE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY GMC ENVOY XL SHUDDERED THEN STALLED. THE SES LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT 65 MPH). THE DEALER, REGAL AUTOMOTIVE IN LAKELAND STATED THAT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE DRIVE TRAIN LOST CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY INFORMED US THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ENVOY AND THAT THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR A PROGRAM UPDATE. HOWEVER, NO RECALL HAVE BEEN ISSUED. *JB

GMC 2004 ENVOY XL SUV HAS REPEATED STOPPING PROBLEMS AT LOW SPEED. BRAKE PEDDLE HAS EXCESSIVE TRAVEL AND COAST THROUGH STOP SIGNS AT LOW SPEED. EXPERIENCED NEAR MISSES WITH CARS IN PARKING LOTS. BRAKE PEDDLE COLLAPSES TO FLOOR AT STOP LIGHTS AND SIGNS WHEN STOPPED. FALSE ABS ACTIVATION ON DRY PAVEMENT. *NM

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH EITHER THE TRANSFER CASE OR TRANSMISSION OF MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE PERFORMING SLOW MANEUVERS (20 MPH OR LESS) IN AND OUT OF PARKING SPACES OR MAKING SLOWER RIGHT OR LEFT HAND TURNS, THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF IT IS BEING HELD BACK BY SOMETHING, UNTIL A LOUD CLUNK IS HEARD AS IF A GEAR DISENGAGES, AND THEN THE VEHICLE JUMPS FORWARD. THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE DANGEROUS TO ME, AS I HAVE FELT MORE THAN ONCE LIKE I HIT SOMETHING. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCES VERY HARD DOWNSHIFT, INTO FIRST GEAR AS THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. THIS ISSUE FIRST APPEARED ON THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2004, AND HAS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY THROUGH THE CURRENT DATE DATE (FOR MORE THAN 5 SEPARATE INSTANCES).

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL BROKE. HE WAS UNAWARE OF HOW OR WHY THIS HAPPENED. HE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED A PART FOR THIS VEHICLE.

FRONT BRAKING PROBLEM WITH 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AFTER EACH TIME A REPAIR ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE BY GMC PROBLEM IS FRONT SQUEALING OF BRAKE SYSTEMS. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. WHILE PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY AT 5 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, IT ACCELERATED AND THEN I HIT GARAGE. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE THE GARAGE DOOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED, THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS $5000. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER . AN INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING AT THIS TIME. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME TO PICK THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER NOTED THAT THE BRAKES WERE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 35-40 MPH, AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, (I-75) MY TRUCK JUST SLOWED ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP, NO WARNING. AND STARTED JERKING. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. MY TRUCK STARTED RATTLING, AND CLANKING, AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY FRONT CARRIER HAD THROWN A BEARING, (FONT DIFFERENTIAL) AND THE HOUSING WAS BROKEN. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE 3,286.53 TO HAVE MY TRUCK REPAIRED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I LEARNED FROM A FRIEND THAT THE SAME PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED WITH HIS TRUCK SIX MONTHS AFTER HE HAD PURCHASED IT, AND THAT OVER 450 OF THESE SAME PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED IN 2004 ALONE. *NM
