ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2005 GMC ENVOY WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION AFTER 3RD YEAR; FUEL METER NO LONGER WORKS. DEALER WANTED $400 TO REPAIR. DEALER WANTED $1600 TO REPLACE AIR INJECTION UNIT AND FUEL SENSOR AND THERMOMETER SO CAR COULD PASS INSPECTION. I HAD ALL THE ITEMS REPAIRED AND ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. IT HAS APPROX 60K MILES. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR AIR INJECTION UNIT STATING IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I PURCHASED CAR IT CAME WITH 100K WARRANTY FOR DRIVE TRANE. AFTER TAKING TO CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC WHO FIXED EVERYTHING ON LIST THE CAR STILL WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE AIR INJECTION UNIT CONTINUES TO TAKE ON WATER. THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND GM SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET IT REPAIRED THEREFORE, I AM SUBJECT TO GET A TICKET. I STILL OWE MONEY AND CANNOT TRADE IT IN. HOW MUCH LONGER ARE AMERICAN MADE CAR MANUFACTURERS GOING TO SCREW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!??? I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE CAR AS LONG AS I LIVE!!! I HAVE NOT EVEN MENTIONED THE FACT THAT THE CAR LOSS COMPLETE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MILES/HOUR ON THE TRNPK. EVERYTHING SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. I COULD NOT STEER. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CURVES AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO SIDE OF ROAD AS THE CAR SLOWLY CAME TO A HALT! THERE MUST BE A LAW AGAINST THIS!!! WHAT RECOURSE DO I (WE) HAVE???? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 GMC ENVOY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY MARCH 14, 2010. AFTER REFUELING, GAUGE READS EMPTY. USUALLY RECOVERS AFTER DRIVING 10-25 MILES. DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF REFUELING NECESSARY. VEHICLE WARRANTY RECENTLY EXPIRED. IT APPEARS THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IT IS EXPENSIVE ($700 - $800) TO REPAIR. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND OFTEN DRIVE ROUTES WITH 20 TO 60 MILE STRETCHES WITHOUT SERVICE STATIONS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FAULTY MECHANISM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. LAST MAY OF 2009 I WAS DRIVING ON US STATE 30 WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR START SMOKING VIGOROUSLY WITHOUT WARNING. JUST AS THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS AND REMOVE IT FROM TRAFFIC. I THEN TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR TO GET OUT (THE HANDLE ITS SELF WAS NOT SMOKING) AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. I CLIMBED INTO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND MANUALLY OPENED THE DOOR, GOT OUT, THEN REMOVED MY CHILDREN ALSO. THIS INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO GMC AND THEIR ANSWER WAS THAT THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WAS DESIGNED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD BE SAFE IN MY SITUATION? *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE RECENTLY FAILED FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN DISASTROUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2014, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY IN A SERIOUS TIME OF NEED. ON FEBRUARY 19, 2014, AFTER 6 1/2 HOURS, THE PROBLEM WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED AS BEING THE DECODER MOTOR AND WIRING FOR THE FOURTH TIME SINCE FEBRUARY 15, 2010. UPDATED 06/05/14. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER PURCHASING A SUPPOSED "CERTIFIED PRE OWNED" GMC 2007 ENVOY, THE GAS GAUGE HAS GONE BAD WHICH IS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO REMAIN ON LESS THAN 1 YR AFTER PURCHASE. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSING AN AUTOMATIC FAILURE IN NY DMV VEHICLE YEARLY INSPECTION. AFTER TAKING THIS TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND PLUGGING IN THE OBD,HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS HAS BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR A VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN 1 YR. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF FUEL SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK. ONCE WAS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE IN NY. PLEASE HELP MYSELF AS WELL AS THE MANY OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET WHO ARE FORCED TO MAKE THESE COSTLY REPAIRS DUE TO GM NEGLIGENCE JUST TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LEGALLY ON THE ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD KILL SOMEONE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IF THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET TO A SHOULDER OR OFF THE HIGHWAY QUICKLY AND SAFELY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
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
