2004 GMC ENVOY XUV Complaints

2004 ENVOY XUV, IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED, HAD *NO* RESPONSE TO ACCELERATOR AS I MADE A LEFT TURN AT A LIGHT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH. WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED, AND IT RAN OKAY BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT REAPPEARED. DROVE ANOTHER 35 MILES WITH LIGHT ON. THE NEXT MORNING IT HAD RE-SET AND THE LIGHT IS GONE FROM THE DASH. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GM EXPECT US TO BE ABLE TO REPLICATE SUCH INCIDENTS FOR A TECH TO FIX? SUCH FAILURES WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEED READINGS. I TRY TO SEE HOW FAST IT IS GOING AT A DEAD STOP AND THEN ADD THAT NUMBER TO FIGURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. BUT NOW WHEN I DRIVE FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE PEGGED AT OVER 120 MPH. SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS WERE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND TIME AND MONEY TO TRY A SOLUTION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER. IF I GET THE SAME CLUSTER TYPE BACK I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. WHAT ADVICE DID YOU GIVE THE OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS? *KB

I HAVE GMC ENVOY XUV SLT 2004 MODEL AND LAST YEAR BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STILL RED BATTERY LIGHT CONTINUED AND I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND CHARGED ME 100 DOLLARS TO CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG AND RED LIGHT PERSISTED AND WAS TOLD THAT CLUSTER BOARD NEEDS CHANGE BUT AFTER FEW WEEKS RED LIGHT WAS GONE AND THAN FEW WEEKS LATER GLASS BETWEEN PASSENGER CABIN AND TRUNK WENT DOWN AND WOULD NOT WORK AND TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT CABLES ARE BAD AND THAN FEW WEEKS LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP AND WOULD SHOW 30 MILES WHEN CARE IS IDLE AND WOULD RACE TO 110 MILES AND THAN WOULD START SHOWING NORMAL AND TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL COST 500 DOLLARS AND TWO DAYS AGO THE TAIL WINDOW GLASS DROPPED. AND READING ON LINE MULTIPLE GM CAR OWNERS AND CHERY CAR SUV OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS.I THINK THIS IS A POOR WORK MAN SHIP ON PART OF GM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED OR BE FIXED BY GM AT NO COST TO OWNER. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM CAR AND PROBABLY WILL NOT CONSIDER . *TR

I HAVE A 2004 TRAILBLAZER THAT THE DASH COMPONENTS (SPEED, GAS, ECT....) HASN'T WORKED SINCE 2008. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. I ALSO HAVE LATCH PROBLEMS. I HAD A REAR DOOR STOP LATCHING...I USED A BUNJY CORD TO HOLD IT SHUT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO A JUNK YARD FOR A 35 DOLLAR NEW LATCH. I AM A SINGLE MOM TRYING TO MAKE MY TRUCK LAST. IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE HAD A FUEL PUMP GO, MY LATCH, MY TAILGATE WON'T OPEN AND MY SUNROOF DOESN'T OPEN ANY MORE AND MY TRUCK IS RUSTING HORRIBLY? I ALSO HAD A COOLING ISSUE WITH EMISSIONS. IT WASN'T READING THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE CORRECTLY. I HAVE SPENT NEAR TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR ODD THINGS. P.S. I PUT THE DOOR LATCH IN MY SELF TO SAVE MONEY. I HAVE TWO KIDS TO PROTECT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 ENVOY XUV. SINCE LAST YEAR WINTER, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AND RUN ERRATICALLY, WHICH I THOUGHT AT THE TIME WAS DUE TO THE COLD. OCCASIONALLY TOO, WE'D COME TO THE GARAGE TO FIND THE REAR WINDOW OPEN AND THE TAILGATE UNABLE TO OPEN. DURING THOSE TIMES, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE WINDOW BACK UP WITH THE BUTTON INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS UNLOCK THE TAILGATE BY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE. ALSO, THE TRUCK WOULD STALL DURING DRIVING, FOR NO REASON BUT WOULD START AGAIN (BIG SAFETY ISSUE!!! I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE WELL). SINCE THEN, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS ALSO CONTINUOUSLY GONE HAYWIRE, WITH THE SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATICALLY AS WELL AS THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THE MID WINDOW NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND MY TAILGATE WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. I HAVE HAD IT SWING OPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC (ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN!!!!! WHAT IF I HAVE SOMETHING BACK THERE AND IT FALLS OUT) THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS REGARDING ANY OF THESE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES THESE ARE PROBLEMS MOST GMC ENVOY XUV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, WITHOUT RECOURSE OF HAVING IT FIXED BY GM AT NO CHARGE. NOW, WE KNOW WHY THEY HAVE LOST THE MARKET SHARE TO JAPAN VEHICLES, BECAUSE OUR NEXT VEHICLE WILL NEVER BE A GM, UNLESS ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE RECALLED AND FIXED. WE'LL ALSO ENSURE TO MOUNT A LACK-OF-CONFIDENCE CAMPAIGN AGAINST GM VEHICLES WITH EVERYONE WE KNOW, IF NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT ASAP BY GM. *TR

XUV WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD. VEHICLE SAT OVER NIGHT AND WOULD NOT START THE NEXT DAY. DEALER CHECKED ALL SYSTEMS, REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH. TWO WEEKS LATER, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WAS DETERMINED THE STARTER WAS BAD, IT WAS REPLACED. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS GOING HAYWIRE LIKE OTHERS. MECHANIC STATED IT WOULD COST OVER $700 TO REPLACE COMPONENTS. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS MALFUNCTIONING, THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY MANY ENVOY/GMC OWNERS. SYMPTOMS ARE INDICATION OF MOVEMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, ANY WHERE UP TO MAXIMUM SPEEDOMETER INDICATION. AT TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STAY AT 0 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. SUBMITTED A SERVICE REQUEST TO GM BUT WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY , I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A FUEL TANK PROBLEM. IT SAID DO NOT BRING THE TRUCK IN IF YOU DON'T SMELL GAS. NOW A YEAR LATER I SMELL GAS AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THE RECALL EXPIRED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE (195500). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE CONTACTED AT A LATER TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,900.

SPEEDOMETER DON'T WORK,GAS GAUGE DON'T WORK, TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT ETC AND I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 9 MONTHS NOW BUT THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FOR ALONG TIME. *TR
