THE VERY SAME THING DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 14V755000, GM SAFETY RECALL 14291, BEGAN HAPPENING TO MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL. MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED OFF AND ON. IN TIME, MY HEADLIGHTS STAYED OFF LONGER AND LONGER. ONLY THE LOW BEAMS AND THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SEEMED TO BE AFFECTED. I COULD FIND NO DISCERNIBLE REASON OR CONNECTION TO ANY ACTION OR SETTING ON THE CAR. WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT AND REMAIN OFF FOR MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, SO I QUIT DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO A GM SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. THE RECALL 14291 LETTER POSTED AT HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM471691/RIONL-14V755-2465.PDF DESCRIBES MY SAFETY SITUATION EXACTLY. SERVICE MANAGER SAID MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR

THE OIL GAUGE WENT OUT FIRST AND THE DEALER STATED THE OIL SENDING UNIT NEED TO BE REPLACE AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER 300. 00 DOLLARS, THEN NEXT THE ENGINE COOLANT GAUGE STARTING GOING CRAZY. I TOOK MY CAR BACK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER NEEDS REPLACING. I WENT BACK TO HAVE MY ENGINE COOLANT GAUGE LOOK AT BY THE DEALER BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH MY 4 YEAR TODDLER IN THE CAR AND PAID FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE ENGINE COOLANT THERMOSTAT BASED ON THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. STILL MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS PEGGED OUT AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE HAS COMPLETELY STOP WORKING, SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER NEED TO BE REPLACE AND THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE TOO. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $570.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE BY ITSELF. I AM VERY UPSET AFTER BEING QUOTED AND TOLD THE FIRST TIME BY THE DEALER THAT THEY COULD FIX THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AT ONE PRICE AND NOW TELL ME THAT WITHOUT REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FOR THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE OIL GAUGE. I NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE IN WHICH TO TAKE MY PRESCHOOL CHILD BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL AND MANY DAYS OTHER DRIVES FROM BEHIND HAVE BLOWN THEIR HORN AT ME DUE TO GOING TO SLOW BECAUSE I AM UNSURE WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. I WAS USING THE RPM GAUGE TO HELP OUT BUT IT HAS NOW STOP WORKING TOO. I CONTACTED GMC ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE GMC DEALER, WHICH I AM STILL WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR ME TO BE DRIVING A CAR IN WHICH THE INSTRUMENT GAUGES JUST STOP WORKING AT ANYTIME. *TR

AT VARIOUS SPEEDS INCLUDING AT REST, INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS FAILED AND THEN COME BACK UP AFTER CUTTING TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING IT. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES ARE GREATLY INACCURATE. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS ALWAYS SHOWING HOT. CONCERNING!!! *TR

THIS PIECE OF CRAP VEHICLE IN WHICH THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS COMPLETELY FAILED STARTING WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS FAILURE THEN LED TO THE FAILURE OF ALL THE GAUGES MINUS AS OF RIGHT NOW THE SPEEDOMETER. THE TAC WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. GMC NOW HAS WENT BACK AND WANTS TO "FIX" THE SENDING UNIT ONLY TO THE GAS TANK (GEE....THANKS FOR THE RUSH GM CONSIDERING THIS IS A 2005 VEHICLE AND THE YEAR IS NOW 2013...AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING FOR DARN CLOSE TO 10 YEARS ABOUT THEM NOW!! NICE JOB STEPPING UP!!).....THUS CORRECTING THE GAS GAUGE ..WE HOPE (WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD WILL PROBABLY LAST FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR...IF WE ARE LUCKY....OH JOY FOR US!!!) YEA...THANKS GM...I NOW KNOW I WILL HAVE 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN MY FREAKIN VEHICLE OVERHEATS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY SINCE THE REST OF THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE WILL NOT BACK YOUR G.D. PRODUCTS. MAYBE IF WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH IT WILL OVERHEAT AND MELT TO THE GROUND AND WE WILL BE RID OF THIS PIECE OF CRAP. NO WONDER EVERYONE IS GOING TO FOREIGN CARS...WHY BUY THESE PIECE OF [XXX]. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER GMC AS LONG AS I BREATH AIR AS SOON AS I AM ABLE TO EITHER SELL, TRADE OR HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL COME AND STEAL IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK OR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 3 TO 4 YEARS THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT DOESN'T. THE GAS GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY AND THE OIL PRESSURE READS ABOVE 80. THEY SENT ME A LETTER YESTERDAY TO SAY THEY ARE NOW FIXING THE FUEL GAUGE IF YOU HAVE LESS THEN 120,000 MILES BUT I HAVE MORE THEN THAT NOW IF THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM YEARS AGO WHEN THEY KNEW ABOUT IT I WOULD HAVE BEEN OK. THEY STILL ARE NOT FIXING THE SPEEDOMETER AND I THINK THAT IS MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE THEN THE GAS GAUGE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR 2005 ENVOY XL DENALI. 70153 MILES. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY UNTIL ABOUT AN EIGHTH OF A TANK HAS BEEN USED THEN THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS JUST FINE. HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL FOR APPX. TEN MINUTES TO GET THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO STOP ILLUMINATING. OCCURS EVERYTIME I FILL THE VEHICLE. IT CAUSES AN INACCURATE FUEL READING. TURNING IN TO DEALER TOMORROW 06-19-2013 FOR REPAIRS. CODE PRODUCED P0463. *TR
