ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING UP A FEW MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT'S CONSTANTLY ACTING UP. SOMETIMES IT SHOWS ME GOING FASTER THAN ACTUAL AND SOMETIMES IT SHOWS ME GOING SLOWER THAN ACTUAL AND SOMETIMES IT JUST SITS BELOW ZERO AND DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. NOW THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. IT READS ALL THE WAY PAST 80 AND DOESN'T EVEN MOVE WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I DO NOT TRUST ANY OF MY GAUGES NOW. I CANNOT BE ASSURED THAT ANY OF THEM ARE READING CORRECTLY. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ALL THE GAUGES STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AND ALL THE NEEDLE INDICATORS STARTED JUMPING AT RANDOM. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE VEHICLE STARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE VERY NEXT TIME I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE; IT DID THE VERY SAME THING AS MENTIONED ABOVE (GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY, ETC.). I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MORE TIME EACH TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. FINALLY THE VEHICLE STARTED AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WERE EXPERIENCED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING HOME AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING QUIT. I COASTED TO A SAFE SPOT ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS MENTIONED ABOVE E.G. GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY. AFTER ABOUT 5 MIN. THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. IN MY DRIVEWAY I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIME. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS MENTIONED ABOVE E.G. GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY. UPON CONSULTING WITH A LOCAL MECHANIC AND A LOCAL DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY A BAD IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE SWITCH REPLACED. *JB

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. IT HAS TWO BUCKET SEATS AND A SECOND ROW BENCH SEAT AND A TRUNK THAT IS SEPARATED BY A PANEL WITH A GLASS INSIDE THE PANEL. I GUESS I HAVE ROLLED THIS WINDOW DOWN 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND NOW THE GLASS WILL NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID THE PART (REGULATOR) IS ON BACK ORDER FROM GM. THIS MEANS ONLY ONE THING THAT THEY HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. I CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE THEY HONOR NOTHING AND IN FACT HAD SOLD OUT AND DID NOT KNOW WHERE MY PAPERS WERE AT ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE REASON IT TOOK ME 34 YEARS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. I GOT BURNED AS A GREEN KID OUT OF COLLEGE WITH MY FIRST JOB AND PURCHASED A GM AND GOT SCREWED BY THE SALES PERSON IN THE CHECKERED COAT. GO FIGURE. ON TOP OF ALL THIS, THE RADIO FACE HAS TURNED FROM BLACK TO YELLOW AS THE PAINT OF ALL THINGS HAS STARTED COMING OFF OF THE RADIO. WHY WAS THE PLASTIC NOT MOLDED BLACK PLASTIC INSTEAD OF YELLOW PLASTIC AND PAINTED. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AS IT WAS PAST THE MILES. WELL THAT STINKS AS I HAD THE TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR AT THAT POINT. I TRAVEL A LOT IN MY JOB AND PUT A LOT OF MILES ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RADIO OR WINDOW REGULATOR. WHAT CAN I DO? *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE ONE "ELECTRICAL" PART THAT CONTROLS THE INSTRUMENTS THAT GIVE THE SPEED OF THE CAR, RPMS, GAS, OIL, ECT....ALL GAUGES DO NOT WORK. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS YET WITH GMC, I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR RIGHT AFTER THE 60K MILE MARK. THIS IS A TRUE "DANGER"...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED, HOW MUCH GAS, WHAT MY ENGINE IS DOING...NOTHING...THE DEALERSHIPS WANT ANYWHERE FROM $400.00 TO $600.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A TRUE MECHANICAL DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, SAID THAT GMC HAS A REAL PROBLEM....THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ONE PART OFTEN. ITS SOMETHING THEY SEE OFTEN. I WANT GMC TO RECALL THIS PART AND FAST...I NEED MY GAUGES TO WORK. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT THE BEGINNING OF NOV THERE WAS TWO OCCASIONS THAT I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK MY HEADLIGHTS AND THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BOARD WOULD DIM AND FLASH EVERY TIME I LET MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. THE GAUAGE TO THE BATTERY WOULD DROP DOWN PASS THE HALF POINT.AND I WOULD HERE CLICKING IN MY STEERING COLUMN,THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON.I TOLD THE GMC DEALERABOUT THIS,THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY CONCERN AT THAT TIME. HE GAVE ME A #02-06-03-008A FORM AND TOLD ME IT COULDNT BE FIXED. I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS I AM DRIVING A DEFECTIVE SUV. I AM AFRAID OF GOING OUT TO START MY SUV AND IT NOT START.THAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IT COULD HAVE. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS I HAVE SMELLED GAS AND STARTED GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID ALL THE NECESSARY STEPS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM COME TO FIND OUT THE FILLER NECK IS BROKEN AWAY FROM THE TANK THAT HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL OF A FIERY REAR-END CRASH. CURSING THE NET IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE AND FROM SOME OF THE COMMENTS HAVE LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM OUT THERE . IS THERE SOME WAY TO GET GM TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM WITH THEIR GAS TANK? *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY WITH 82,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO THE SUNSHELL GEAR WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS DOWNSHIFTING HARD, I TOOK THE CAR TO A GMC DEALER LESS THAN 1000 MILES AGO TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD MY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO REVERSE AND THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $1,800. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AFTER I PARKED MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL IN THE GARAGE. AFTER INSPECTING, NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING ON GROUND. TOWED TO MECHANIC. TOLD TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSE WAS LAYING NEXT TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER - NOT SECURED. HEAT FROM CC RUBBED HOLE IN TC HOSE AND THEREFORE COULD HAVE IGNITED VEHICLE. SINCE I HAD PARKED IN THE GARAGE, IT ALSO COULD HAVE BURNED MY OTHER VEHICLE AND OUR HOUSE. MECHANIC REPLACED HOSE AND SECURED. GMC WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A PROBLEM SINCE I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY RECALL OR BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE HAD A INTERMITTENT RUMBLING SOUND IN THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT LIKE THE DOORS ARE NOT CLOSED PROPERLY. I HAVE CHECKED DOORS CLOSED BUT YET IT STILL HAPPENS. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE FUEL GAUGE IS READING INCORRECTLY, AT A HALF A TANK OF FUEL THE GAS HAND WILL INTERMITTENTLY MOVE UP OR DOWN. ALSO NOV. 2006 A HIGH PITCH SQUEAL FROM THE FRONT OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 1 AND 40 MPH. *JB

#10172583November 3, 2006
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH APPROXIMATELY 50000 MILES ON IT IN MAY OF 2006. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING SLIGHTLY ERRATIC, REPORTING SPEEDS VARYING BY 10-20 MPH (I.E. ON THE HIGHWAY, KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD REPORT 45 MPH OR SOMETIMES 80 MPH. OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE, WITH THE SPEEDOMETER REPORTING 120 MPH AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS, AND 50 MPH AT A STOP, SOMETIMES NOT REGISTERING ANY SPEED AT ALL (O MPH). THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING, WHICH I AM ASSUMING IS RELATED TO THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. I SEARCHED ONLINE, AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY OTHER GMC OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/T2BGKBGI55EKNU77C/P1 THIS IS THE FIRST GMC CAR I HAVE PURCHASED AND I AM DISSATISFIED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM A PRETTY GOOD GUESS AT HOW FAST I AM GOING, HOWEVER WITHOUT AN ACCURATE SPEEDOMETER I FEEL I AM TAKING UNNECESSARY CHANCES. AS A REALTOR, I OFTEN HAVE CLIENTS IN MY VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY AS WELL. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC, BUT I WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALER AS THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS A $500 FIX, AND I AM CONCERNED AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE THIS PROBLEMATIC WITH A VEHICLE 2 YEARS OLD. I HOPE THAT BY REPORTING THIS ISSUE, THE NHTSA WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME AND THE OTHER HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
