2005 GMC ENVOY XL 370 Complaints

PROB #1 DRIVING DOWN STREET REAR DOOR CAME OPEN AND WOULDN'T CLOSE. ALREADY REPLACED THE DOOR LATCH ON PASS REAR DOOR. IF I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR THIS WOULD'VE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. TALKING TO OTHERS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. PROBLEM #2 FUEL GAUGE JUST STOP WORKING, LOW FUEL LIGHT BEEPS CONSTANTLY. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN CAR. COST TO REPLACE OVER $500! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY I6 THAT I PURCHASED IN MARCH 2005. NOVEMBER OF 2006 WE REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO WHEN I WOULD FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE GAUGE WOULD GO TO EMPTY AND WOULD EVENTUALLY MAKE IT TO FULL AFTER ABOUT 100 MILES DRIVEN. NOW A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS CONFIRMED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WOULD COST AROUND $1100 TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE ALREADY OF BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN. *TR

REAR GLASS DOOR CAME UNGLUED AT HINGES DAMAGING THE STRUTS AND ALMOST FALLING ON MY HEAD. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND REPLACING THE GLASS DOOR WAS SUGGESTED AT $1500.00. REPAIRING ATTEMPTED USING GLUE AND GLASS DOOR CAME LOOSE AGAIN. IT WAS A NEAR MISS, COULD BECOME A FATALITY. MAIN REAR DOOR STRUTS WERE DAMAGE AND THE DOOR ALMOST HIT ME AGAIN. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY. IT JUST QUIT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $481. *TR

OPENING THE HATCH ON MY 2005 ENVOY XLS APPROX 1 TIME PER DAY CAUSED THE PISTONS AND THE BALLASTS TO GO BAD. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK DOOR HANDLES AND INTERIOR MECHANISMS FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, WITH REPEATED TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. STILL NOT FIXED. *TR

POWER STEERING HOSE RUPTURED ON MY WIFE'S 2005 GMC ENVOY THANKFULLY JUST AS SHE WAS ENTERING OUR DRIVEWAY. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE HOSE ASSEMBLY AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 48,000 MI ON IT AND IN 40+ YEARS OF DRIVING HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE ROADWAY I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS IT RESULTED IN ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE DEALER WAS EXCELLENT WITH THE REPAIR, BUT GM WAS UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT THE 06 MDL YEAR HAD POWER STEERING HOSE PROBLEMS AND A RECALL BUT THIS MDL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED,AS IT BURST IN THE EXACT WAY DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATING AS THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED JUNE 2005 AND THE RECALL WAS DATED OCT 2005. *TR

#1 PROBLEM-- I ONLY HAVE 40,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND BOUGHT IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. MY FUEL TANK DOES NOT WORK-- IT FLOATS AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK #2 PROBLEM- DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT-- I LOOKED DOWN AT MY SPEEDOMETER AND IT WAS STUCK OVER 120 MPH. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH GMC AND TELL EVERYONE I KNOW NEVER TO BUY ANY CHEVY VEHICLES-- THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING SO SOON ON A NEWER VEHICLE. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WORKS WHEN IT WANTS. THE CAR CAN BE IN PARK, HOWEVER SPEEDOMETER MAY READ 30MPH. JUST RECENTLY I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF STATE AND WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND THE NEEDLE WENT TO ZERO. AND IN A LIKE MANNER, ON THE WAY BACK, MY SPEEDOMETER READ TEN MILES BELOW MY ACTUAL SPEED AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET A TICKET. FROM ASKING AROUND MANY CHEVY AND GMC VEHICLES WITH A SIMILAR GAUGE FACE HAVE EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THEIR GAUGES. PLEASE HELP ME. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PART COST AROUND $300 PLUS THE PRICE OF LABOR. I HAVE HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER WITH MY GMC ENVOY XL 2005. *TR

FAILS TO START PERIODICALLY CLOCK RETURNS TO 12:00 ALL GAUGES WORK BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER ENGINE, LIGHT WILL FLICKER WHILE DRIVING AND LURCHES FORWARD WHEN FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. *TR
