ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, SEATS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I PURCHASED A 2005 GMC ENVOY IN SEPTEMBER 2005. IN THE PAST YEAR (SINCE JANUARY 2007, AT LEAST), I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST PROBLEM IS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. EVERYTIME I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS APPEAR TO DIM/FLICKER AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ONCOMING VEHICLES TURNING THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON ME THINKING MY BRIGHTS ARE ON WHEN IN REALITY MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DIMMING AND THEN RETURNING TO NORMAL. THE SECOND PROBLEM CONCERNS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ANYTIME A CERTAIN WEIGHT LIMIT IS MET OR EXCEEDED THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS SUPPOSED TO SWITCH TO ON, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR HASN'T RECOGNIZED IT. THIRD PROBLEM, DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT FAILURE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN I HAVE TRIED TO MOVE THE DRIVER SEAT FORWARD, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE MOTOR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GRINDING AND WANTED TO MOVE, BUT THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THE MOST EXTREME PROBLEM TO DATE HAS BEEN WITH THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THEN NOT STARTING OR EVEN TURNING OVER AT ALL. EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR, AT LEAST, THE LAST MONTH WHEN I GO TO START THE VEHICLE IT FAILS TO START AND IT TAKES A MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR TO GET IT STARTED. ONE INSTANCE IN PARTICULAR WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WAS WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY. WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WE WERE FORCED TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER. WE SAT THERE FOR ALMOST AN HOUR IN TEMPERATURES OF 13 DEGREES TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS OF OTHER ENVOY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THESE SAME PROBLEMS. SOME DEALERS HAVE ACTUALLY SAID THAT THESE FAILURES/PROBLEMS ARE NORMAL!!!! WHAT!?!?! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! SINCE WHEN IS IT CONSIDERED "NORMAL" WHEN SO MANY ENVOYS ARE DISPLAYING THESE SAME PROBLEMS? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC; SHOWING WRONG SPEED ALMOST ALL THE TIME. 1000S OF REPORTS OF THIS ON INTERNET IN GM AND CHEVROLET SUVS OF THE SAME TYPE. I HAVE 2004 ENVOY XL AND THIS COST ME AROUND $600. THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS SAME PART IS USED ON MANY OF THE GM AND CHEVROLET VEHICLES AS THERE ARE EVEN OUTSIDE BUSINESSES WHO NOW FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY CASES IN GMS. PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE IN THE VEHICLE SPEED SECTION BUT SOME ARE INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR SOME MODELS BUT NOT MY MODEL. IF IT IS TRULY THE SAME PART THEN WHY ISN'T MY MODEL INCLUDED? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I WAS RETURNING FROM LUNCH, GOING OVER THE VINCENT THOMAS BRIDGE IN L.A. HARBOR. I LOOKED OUT AT THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, THEN LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER. I WAS GOING 90 MPH. I STARTED TO PANIC AND WENT FOR THE BRAKE. MY OTHER SENSES KICKED IN AND SAID "YOUR NOT GOING 90 MPH" . I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER "SAID" ALL KINDS OF NUMBERS. WHEN I PARKED, I THINK IT SAID 40MPH. THAT WAS TWO MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN THE SPEEDOMETER HAS READ ALL KINDS OF WIERD NUMBERS. SOMETIMES IT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY CLOSE, THEN IT GOES OFF THE CHARTS TO 140MPH. I HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT OUT, THE VEHICLE HAS 79,000 MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT GM WOULD COVER IT UP TO 70,000 MILES. THE DEALER WANTED $325.00 FOR THE PART AND $200.00 TO INSTALL IT. I SAID NO SO HE CHARGED ME $45.00 TO CHECK THE ELECTRICAL. BESIDES THE SAFETY FACTORS, WHAT REALLY BOTHERED ME WAS TWO THINGS. 1) THE DEALER MADE THIS SEEM LIKE AN ISOLATED CASE. THIS SITUATON IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE SIMPLY SAID "IT'S PROBALLY A STEPPER MOTOR, IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM,$ 500.00 TO FIX". INSTEAD HE PLAYED DUMB AND CHECKED OVER MY VEHICLE FOR $45.00. THE SECOND THING IS, I TOOK THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OUT TO TAKE A LOOK. IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES. WHERE DOES THE DEALER COME UP WITH $200.00 THE VEHICLE IS SUBSTANDARD. INSTEAD OF OWNING UP TO THE SITUATION, THE DEALER USED THIS SITUATION TO MAKE MONEY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTED AND IT IS PROPER. GM COULD FIX ALL THESE VEHICLES FOR LESS THAN $50.00 A PIECE, IF THEY WERE SMART. INSTEAD THERE ARE HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS OF GM CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE STATED ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY WILL NEVER BUY A GM PRODUCT AGAIN. GO FIGURE! *CN

#10213182December 29, 2007
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL MALFUNCTIONED. ITS READINGS ARE VERY ERRATIC AND DO NOT CORRESPOND AT ALL WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE, READINGS OF 10 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND 100 MPH WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE READINGS VARY ANYWHERE FROM O MPH TO PAST 120 MPH AND ARE COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. THE FIRST SIGN WAS THE SPEEDOMETER STICKING AT 10 MPH EVEN AS I ACCELERATED; IT THEN BEGAN THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR MENTIONED ABOVE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING TO ME SINCE THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AS I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM INDIANA TO SOUTH CAROLINA WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED YESTERDAY AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *TR

LIFT GATE, UPPER MOLDING CRACKED WHEN OPENING BACK HATCH WINDOW. POORLY DESIGNED, CONTACTED GMC BASICALLY MY PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH LOCAL GMC DEALER HAS TO REPLACE SEVERAL OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. ALSO ANY VIBRATION FROM THE ROAD CAUSES THE WINDOW AND OR GATE TO COME UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING. SPOKE TO GMC IN REGARDS TO THAT AND I ALSO CHECKED FOR RECALLS.
