ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN OR ELECTRICAL GHOST OF SOME SORTS. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER 4 TIME WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THAT WAS THE DEALERS CURE. THEN WHEN I PURCHASED IT I REPLACED THE BATTERY.THEN IT WAS REPLACED FOR THE 6TH TIME 18 MONTHS LATER. THE REAR WINDOW ON THE TAIL GATE KEPT GOING DOWN ON IT'S OWN UNTIL THE MOTOR FLEW APART. THE WINDOW BEHIND THE REAR SEAT WENT DOWN ON IT'S OWN AND DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE RETRACTABLE BACK ROOF WILL NOT ENGAGE DUE TO THE REAR WINDOW. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE AC WILL COME ON BY ITSELF ALSO THE RADIO, THE SEAT HEATERS. NOW WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT ON THEIR OWN, LUCKILY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS STILL WORK, BUT THAT'S NOT HELPING THE POOR SOUL IN FRONT OF ME. GM SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY OF THIS BUT I'M ALMOST TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OR LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR ANYTIME FOR THAT MATTER. NOT TO MENTION ANY KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I MAY OF OVERLOOKED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
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 LOST FAITH IN GM CAR AND PROBABLY WILL NOT CONSIDER . *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ONE REAR DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT (THANK GOODNESS SHE WAS IN A SEATBELT, BUT MY PURCHASE WENT FLYING OUT AND SPILLED OUT ALL OVER THE ROAD). SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTICED BOTH REAR DOOR LATCHES RANDOMLY STICK CLOSED EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND BOTH LATCHES RANDOMLY FAIL TO LATCH CLOSED CAUSING DOOR TO REMAIN OPEN. AFTER THIS HAPPENS, I TRY NUMEROUS TIMES TO CLOSE THE DOOR ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT CATCH. AFTER PLAYING WITH THE LATCH, IT FINALLY WORKS. I AVOID OPENING THE REAR DOORS AT ALL IF I CAN. THE LATCHES DO APPEAR CORRODED AND RUSTY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2003 XL MODEL, BUT MY 2004 MODEL HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM! IT SEEMS OTHERS SHARE THE SAME COMPLAINT ACCORDING TO SOME INTERNET FORUMS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPAIRED BY A LOCAL REPAIR PERSON WHO'S BEEN MAKING A LIVING REPAIRING THESE GAUGES AND CLUSTERS FOR 10 YEARS NOW. MY GAUGES WOULD FLUCTUATE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MY FUEL GAUGE TELLS ME I HAVE 100+ MILES LEFT IN THE TANK AND THEN I RUN OUT OF GAS. EVEN WITH THE GAUGES REPAIRED, I STILL HAVE A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT OR SOMETHING THAT HAS MY "ESTIMATED MILEAGE TO EMPTY" ALL OVER THE BOARD. IT SHOWS ME AT 85 MILES TO EMPTY WHEN I PARK IT, BUT START IT BACK UP AND IT GOES TO 140, OR SOMETIMES TIPS ME OFF THAT IT'S ACTUALLY LOW ON FUEL. I'M FRUSTRATED, CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY STRAIGHT ANSWERS FROM ANYONE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER BEGIN STICKING ABOVE ZERO WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF. GRADUALLY, THE SPEEDO STUCK HIGHER AND HIGHER, UNTIL IT REMAINED PEGGED AND CEASED TO FUNCTION. SOON AFTER, ALL INSTRUMENTS IN THE PANEL SUCCESSIVE FAILED - INCLUDING FUEL GAUGE, TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE, AND BATTERY LEVEL... IT APPEARS TO BE AT THIS POINT A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. MOST WORRISOME, THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ INCORRECTLY AT ALL TIMES, IF THEY READ AT ALL. *TR
