2004 GMC ENVOY XUV Complaints

1) FOBS STOPPED WORKING AND HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED 2) TAILGATE SWITCHES STOPPED WORKING BOTH AT THE SAME TIME 3) SPEEDOMETER STOPPED READING ACCURATELY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN THE REARING OR HAD THE UNDERBODY SPRAYED WHILE WASHING. *TR

MY 2004 ENVOY XUV REAR TAILGATE HAS 2 BROKEN RELEASES IN IT. AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, THE ONLY WAY TO ACCESS THE REAR ENCLOSED PART OF THIS VEHICLE IS THROUGH THE REAR DOOR, IF THERE IS NO REAR ACCESS, THEN YOU CANNOT GET WHAT IS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE OUT. IN MY CASE, A DOG WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT THE MIDGATE WINDOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE IS TOO SMALL TO GET THE DOG OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS AS EVEN IF THERE WAS A ACCESS TO THE REAR THROUGH THE CENTER MIDGATE, SOME OBJECTS COULD GET PLACED IN THE REAR AREA THAT ARE TOO LARGE TO REMOVE VIA THE MIDGATE AND SIDE DOORS AND IF THE REAR TAILGATE CANNOT BE OPENED, THE OBJECTS WILL NEVER BE REMOVED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY NEW VEHICLE LAST WEEK AND DISCOVERED AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF IT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER RAMPS UP BUT DOES NOT GO DOWN. AS IT IS PARKED IT READS BETWEEN 38 AND 120+. DEALERS SAY SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL THEY CANNOT HELP ME AND HAVE QUOTED BETWEEN A 500 DOLLAR AND 1,000 DOLLAR FIX. *TR

SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER FAILURE. I KNOW OF 3 CLUSTER FAILURES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. THAT'S JUST MY NEIGHBOR AND MY SISTER AND MYSELF. THIS IS A 500.00 REPAIR AND I'M SURE THAT THIS CAN'T BE ISOLATED OCCURRENCES. *TR

SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING, SHOWING HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 95-120+MPH, ONLY WENT DOWN TO 20MPH AT LOWEST WHEN CAR IS STOPPED. USUALLY READS 60 AT STOP. MESH CHECKED IT & SAYS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ALL OTHER GAUGES OK. SEEMS LIKE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO GET GM TO CORRECT THIS, WITHOUT CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. FAILURE NOW LASTED 6 MOTHS - USING GPS TO DETERMINE SPEED. *TR

JUST ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THE SPEEDOMETER; VEHICLE NOW HAS 50,000 MILES, SO IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER WON'T FIX. PULL UP TO A STOP SIGN AND SPEEDOMETER STILL READS 20 MPH. VARIES ALL OVER THE PLACE. IF GMC DOESN'T RECALL, I WILL HAVE ENJOYED BOTH MY FIRST AND LAST GMC AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

GMC DEALER SERVICE TECH FOUND THE WIRE TO REAR DEFROSTER CORRODED AND BROKEN. REPAIRED WIRING. *TR

END GATE WOULD NOT SWING OPEN. GLASS LOWERS. ENDGATE OPENS FLAT. EMERGENCY BUTTON DOES NOT WORK EITHER. SINCE YOU CAN NOT SWING OPEN THE ENDGATE YOU CAN NOT ACCESS THE HOIST DRIVE SHAFT HOLE TO ALLOW THE UNDERBODY-MOUNTED SPARE TIRE TO BE LOWERED. GMC DEALER SERVICE TECH DIAGNOSED OPEN IN TAILGATE END SWITCH. REPLACED TAILGATE END SWITCH ON 2/21/2008. *TR

1. NO EVENT. JUST DRIVING 2. SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. 0 AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS 3. NOT CORRECTED. *TR

ALL GAUGES FAIL THEN TURN BACK ON, WARNING BELL CONTINUES TO RING DASHBOARD GOES THROUGH SYSTEM CHECK AND BELL GOES OFF AT EACH CHECK, SUCH AS UNKNOWN DRIVER, DOOR AJAR,ECT. GAUGES MAY GO DEAD AND COME BACK TO LIVE SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A SHORT TRIP. WHEN GAUGES WORK THE ALARM BELL CONTINUES TO RING EVEN WHEN DRIVING. *TR
