2004 GMC ENVOY XUV Complaints

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE GAS GAUGE SAYS EMPTY WHEN I HAVE JUST FUELED THE CAR TO FULL. THE CAR WILL SURGE FORWARD WHEN I AM BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND PUTTING CAR IN DRIVE. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND RETURN THE CAR TO NEUTRAL POSITION TO STOP FROM RUNNING INTO PARKED CARS OR THE CURB. TONIGHT WE WERE LEAVING THE PARK AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS ( LOW BEAM) ARE NOT WORKING. ALL OTHER LIGHTS AND FLASHERS ON THE CAR WORK. THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON THE LEFT HALF OF THE A/C CONTROLLER DOES NOT WORK.THE MOTOR IN THE REAR WINDOW WENT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $ 1000 TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND THEN THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE MIDDLE WINDOW MOTOR WAS BAD AND THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $600 TO REPAIR. I ONLY COULD AFFORD THE BACK WINDOW MOTOR. THIS CAR IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GM HAS NPT PLACED A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

WE HAVE A 2004, GMC ENVOY XUV, WHICH WE PURCHASE BRAND NEW IN 2004. 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, ESPECIALLY AT TURNS, BUT WOULD START AGAIN. JUST LAST WEEK, MY WIFE WAS JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE HOME LAST WEEK, WHEN SHE NOTICED THE REAR TAILGATE WINDOW HAD GONE DOWN BY ITSELF AS USUAL; FOLLOWING WHICH ALL ELECTRONIC EFFORTS TO BRING IT UP FAILED, AND THE TAILGATE OR ROOF WOULDN'T OPEN AS WELL. THEN, WE HEARD SOME HUMMING INSIDE THE TAILGATE. MY WIFE LEFT HOME ONLY TO HAVE THE TRUCK'S BATTERY FAIL AT THE LOCAL MALL. SINCE THEN, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS ALSO CONTINUOUSLY GONE HAYWIRE, WITH THE SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATICALLY AS WELL AS THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. 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

2004 GMC ENVOY SUV, 45,XXX MILES. NOVEMBER 2009 ENVOY WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE (NEW BATTERY REPLACED 7-09), JUMPED ENVOY AND WOULD LOOSE CHARGE, KEYS ALWAYS WERE LOCKED IN VEHICLE IGNITION. APRIL 2010 AGAIN, VEHICLE WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE (SOMETHING DRAINING BATTERY - NOTHING LEFT ON). TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, NO PROBLEMS LOCATED, MECHANIC REPLACED 7-09 BATTERY (FREE), DROVE VEHICLE 4 DAYS AND DID NOT DRIVE FOR 5 DAYS - AGAIN VEHICLE WOULD NOT START (NO LIGHTS, ETC) JUMPED VEHICLE OFF. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO MECHANIC, NOTHING INDICATED IN STARTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY - NOTHING WAS LEFT ON. TOOK HOME AGAIN SAME PROBLEM 4 DAYS RUNNING, 6 DAYS DID NOT DRIVE, VEHICLE WILL NOT START; HAD TO JUMP OFF AGAIN. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE MECHANIC. IN THE MEANTIME I RESEARCHED AND FOUND GM BULLETIN 04-06-03-002 FOR "MISINDEXED IGNITION SWITCH"; NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF SAME ISSUE. CURRENTLY ENVOY IS AT MECHANIC AFTER I REPORTED GM BULLETIN. *TR

CLUSTER PANEL ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV HAS FAILED. GM STATED THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET HAS DIFFERENT INFORMATION. I ASKED ABOUT THIS TO GM AND THEY STATED THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING BEING ON THE INTERNET AND CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT IS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ON MY 2004 ENVOY, WITH ONLY 24000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON A TRIP LAST WEEK WHICH CAUSED ME TO GET A SPEEDING TICKET BECAUSE OF THIS. ORIGINALLY IT WAS 10 MPH OFF, BUT NOW IS READING AS HIGH AS 70 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL. BASED ON OTHER INFO I HAD READ ON THE WEB, THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH GMC ENVOYS YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY GM AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS VERY HIGH ($500.00 +). THIS IS NOW A VARIABLE PROBLEM THAT SHOWS MY SPEED OFF AS MUCH AS 80 MPH AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO BE TRAVELING AT EXCESSIVE, UNSAFE SPEEDS, IF I TRIED TO USE IT. *TR

THE SPEDOMETER WOULD STICK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DROP BACK TO NORMAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. NOW IT PERMANTELY STUCK AT 120 MPH.

SPEEDOMETER STARTED SHOWING I WAS GOING 90-130MPH WHEN I WAS ON PROBABLY MOVING 50MPH. IT WAS ABOUT 30-50MPH OFF. WHEN CAR IS OFF SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 50MPH. FOUND OUT YOU CAN MAKE SPEEDOMETER DROP 5MPH AT A TIME IF YOU TURN THE CAR ON & OFF ABOUT 20 TIMES IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO TO ZERO MPH. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT DOES THE SAME ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. I HAVE READ OVER HUNDREDS OF POST ONLINE ABOUT THIS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL ALONE AND THINK THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I NEED HELP AND NEED MY CAR FIXED PLEASE HELP. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ,SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT 60 MPH,GAS GUAGE DOES NOT WORK,WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL YOU STOP AND RESTART AND THEN ,MOST OF THE TIME THEY GO BACK TO NORMAL

2004 GMC ENVOY. SUDDEN MOMENTARY ENGINE SURGE. OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED WITH FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. SIX OCCURRENCES , FOUR WITHIN LAST FEW MONTHS. GM DEALER CHECKED SAID ALL SYSTEMS WERE OK, GM CORPORATE NOTIFIED SAID NO HISTORY THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. WHEN SURGE HAPPENED QUICK SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL PREVENTED DAMAGE.

CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ENGINE SPEEDED UP WHEN PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME. MOST OF MY DASHBOARD GAUGES HAVE BEEN FAILING OVER THE LAST YEAR INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL PRIOR TO THE EVENT. I THINK IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE COMPUTER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. THE DEALER HAS ADVISE ME THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILING BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR
