ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEED GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. THE TEMPERATURE AND GAS GAUGE ALSO MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS NOT OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT SELL THE PARTS FOR THE VEHICLE AND HAS PURCHASE THE PARTS FROM ANOTHER DISTRIBUTOR. THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER CITY TO HAVE HIS VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31894. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE GMC ENVOY 2005. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. BASICALLY SOMETIMES IT GETS STUCK PAST 120, SOMETIMES AT 0 OR IN BETWEEN. I COULD BE DRIVING 30 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE SHOWING 110 MPH. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON GMC 2005 ENVOY, BUT THE COMPANY IS ONLY TAKING A RESPONSIBILITY ON MODELS 2002-2004. I HAVE CALLED AROUND DEALER SHOP AND THEY SAID GMC IS ONLY WILLING TO FIX IF THE CAR IS BETWEEN 2002 AND 2005, EVENTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. ALMOST ABOUT EVERYONE I TALKED TO, WHO OWNS GMC ENVOY 2005 INDICATED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I REALLY THINK GMC SHOULD OWN TO ITS DEFECT AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THROAT OF GAS TANK LEAKING ON A 2003 ENVOY. REVIEWING INTERNET, FOUND MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE ENVOY'S AND STATED IN 2007 THAT NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING. MECHANIC STATED VERY UNUSUAL TO LEAK IN THAT SPOT. ALSO, HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEAD LIGHT SOCKETS DUE TO BURNING UP. HAVE TALKED TO MANY ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN BULB BURNS OUT AND THE RECOMMENDED BULB IS PUT IN PLACE THE SOCKET AND WIRING GETS SO HOT THAT THE SOCKET IS CHARRED AND IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. WIRES HAVE TO BE CUT AND A NEW SOCKET WIRED IN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL NEEDLE GAUGES BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE SPEEDOMETER INITIALLY REGISTERED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN ACTUAL SPEEDS (REGISTERED 110+ MPH WHEN TRAVELING AT ~65 MPH) AND THEN STUCK AT 15 MPH REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL SPEED OR WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE TACHOMETER ALSO BEGAN TO REGISTER HIGHER THAN ACTUAL RPM, SHOWING 6,000+ RPM EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLES ENGINE WAS RETURNED TO IDLE OR TURNED OFF. OTHER GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS INCLUDE THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WHICH WOULD ALSO INTERMITTENTLY REGISTER HIGHER THAN ACTUAL PRESSURE. WITHOUT EITHER A FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER OR TACHOMETER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAINTAIN A SAFE DRIVING SPEEDS. HAVE CONTACTED A LOCAL GMC DEALER REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT YET IDENTIFIED A REMEDY. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2002 GMC ENVOY HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENT FLUCTUATES AND/OR STOP WORKING (LOW BEAMS ONLY) WHILE DRIVING CAR AT NIGHT. OCCURS AT ALL HEADLIGHT SETTINGS, AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY/NIGHT, ALMOST EVERY TIME THE HEADLIGHTS ARE USED AND DOES NOT RESOLVE ITSELF UPON TRYING CAR ON/OFF. PROBLEM STARTED AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, APPROXIMATELY 2005. GNC DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT AUTO MECHANICS UNABLE TO DETERMINE SOURCE PROBLEM DUE TO INTERMITTENT OF PROBLEM. PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL 2010 WHEN LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FINALLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY AND NO LONGER WORKED AT ALL. FIX WAS HEADLIGHT MODULE. HEADLIGHT MODULE POSSIBLY DAMAGED BY VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS COMING ELSEWHERE IN VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. OLD PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. PART WAS REPLACED AT STUART GMC IN STUART, FLORIDA. THE CONSEQUENCE IS NO HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT SO UNABLE TO DRIVE CAR AT NIGHT OR WORST, THE DANGER OF THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING (WHICH HAPPENED ALL THE TIME) AND DRIVING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION (WITHOUT PAYING FOR A TOWTRUCK) CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR A CITATION. ANOTHER CONSEQUENCE IS IT DECREASES VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE HONESTLY SOLD WHILE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION EXISTS SO I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH THE CAR AND CANNOT FINANCIALLY BUY A NEW CAR WITHOUT SELLING THIS CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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

MY 2006 GMC ENVOY STARTED EXPERIENCING GAS GAUGE PROBLEMS. AFTER A FEW CALLS AND FINDING A WEBSITE CALLED TOPIX.COM, I SEE OVER THREE HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, MANY ALSO AT FIXYA.COM. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND MOST CAN NOT AFFORD THIS UNLESS IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH I FIND MOST ARE NOT. *TR

I HAD THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER ON MY 2002 GMC ENVOY XLT REPLACED IN JULY OF 2009 DUE TO THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATION. I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD A BAD ELECTRONIC CLUSTER THAT WAS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRENTY.IT WAS REPLACED. NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HAD GONE BAD. AFTER PAYING 462.00 FOR THE REPAIR THE GAS GAUGE IS STILL FLUCTUATING. *TR

I'M AN OWNER OF A 2006 GMC ENVOY SLT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. AT FIRST, THE GAUGE WOULD SWING BETWEEN FULL, EMPTY AND HALF FULL. NOW, IT JUST LIVES AT 'EMPTY'. RESETTING THE TRIP DISPLAY AFTER REFILLING AT 220 MILES IS GETTING OLD AND INCONVENIENT. I DON'T LIKE NOT KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE - ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M DRIVING IN AREAS WHERE THERE ISN'T A GAS STATION ON EVERY CORNER. BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM, IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC. *TR

IN REFERENCE TO DP10-001. I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS AN ERRATIC GAS GAUGE AS WELL. AFTER RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY AND ILLUMINATE THE EMPTY TANK WARNING LIGHT. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES, THE GAUGE WILL RETURN TO THE FULL POSITION, BUT WILL FLUCTUATE OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS POSSIBLE FAULTY SENDING UNIT, FAULTY GAUGE AND FAULTY SENSORS ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. *TR
