ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2005 ENVOY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOING BAD. IT WILL SEEM FINE THEN THE MPH GO WAY OFF AND WHO KNOWS IF YOU CAN TRUST THE OTHER GAUGES WHILE ON THE ROAD. I'VE READ THAT MOST GMC ENVOYS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND GMC IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE KNOWN PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WILL COST ME 575 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR

STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
2005 GMC ENVOY XL BACK REAR DOOR WINDOW BRACKET DETACHED THE FIRST TIME, THE SECOND TIME THE BRACKET ITSELF BROKE AND SHATTERED THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE EXPERIENCED. I AM TRYING TO GET WARRANTY TO COVER IT BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DON'T COVER BROKEN GLASS, WELL IF THE BRACKET DIDN'T SNAP IN 2 THE GLASS WOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN. I AM VERY LUCKY I WAS NOT BLINDED BY THE EXPLOSION OF GLASS. I TOOK PICTURES WHICH SHOW PIECES OF GLASS OVER 20 FEET AWAY. I ALSO READ POST BY OTHER PEOPLE WHERE CHILDREN WERE CUT IN THE FACE A SCARRED BY THIS SAME EVENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I HAD A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND HAD SEVERAL THINGS GOING WRONG. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS RADICAL, SOME DAYS IT WOULD WORK AND OTHER DAYS NOT. THE BACK WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DOWN FOR NO REASON AT ALL WHEN I WAS NOT EVEN IN OR NEAR THE CAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF. LIKE A FOOL I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV, ONLY OWNED IT 2 DAYS AND SMELLED GAS. LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE ENTIRE REAR OF THE UNDERSIDE OF IT WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. THERE WAS A SMALL PUDDLE ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOOK OUT THE GAS TANK AND THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FILLER NECK. STILL WAITING TO GET THE CAR BACK, CAN'T FIND PARTS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST ENVOY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE ODOMETER HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR 2 YEARS IT WILL WORK AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. I WOULD BE GOING IN SPEEDS OF OVER 50MPH AND THE ODOMETER WOULD READ 20MPH. OR I WOULD GO ABOUT 30MPH IT WOULD READ100MPH OR OVER. IT WILL ERRATICALLY DO THIS. SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM YET. IT IS WORKING RIGHT NOW. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STEERING
1) FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY- HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. BEGAN AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT NOW IS ALWAYS ON EMPTY. 2) POWER STEERING: MAKES A WHIRRING SOUND WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL - BEAMAN GMC SERVICE IN NASHVILLE HAS THE DETAILED RECORDS, BUT I BROUGHT IT IN BEFORE FOR THIS, AND IT WAS REPAIRED TEMPORARILY, BUT THE SOUND HAS BEEN BACK AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENVOY, BUT I AM WRITING ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. THE FAILURE OF THE PANEL CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER TO FAIL. THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS OVER 120 MPH REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, OR WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF OR ON. THE MECHANIC WHO INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE STATED THAT THERE WERE NUMEROUS DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS THAT HAD TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE HE COULD SUCCESSFULLY DIAGNOSE THE BAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE ENVOY, GMC WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND THE FAILED INSTRUMENT PANEL CAN RESULT IN ACCIDENTS.

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY'S FUEL GAUGE HAS FAILED. IT NOW READS AS "EMPTY", NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE IS NO EASY OR INEXPENSIVE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I HAVE 03 GMC ENVOY THAT I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS LATELY AND NOT SEEN ANY GAS LEAKING. THE GAS ODOR GRADUALLY HAS BEEN GETTING STRONGER AND STRONGER. EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO TELL THAT THERE IS A GAS LEAK, BUT IS ONLY LEAKING A SMALL AMOUNT WHILE THE TRUCK IS RUNNING. NOW MY ENVOY REEKS OF GASOLINE ALL THE TIME OUTSIDE AND SOMETIMES INSIDE WHEN THE HEAT IS ON AND IDLING. SEEMS THE GAS POOLS ON AN INDENT ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK AND WHEN I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY(DOWN A STEEP HILL AND SHARP TURN) IT ALL POURS OUT. SEEMS THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME TYPE PROBLEMS. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A BAD DESIGN ON GM'S BEHALF.......MAYBE THEY WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. I WONDER IF THEY STILL PRODUCE THEM LIKE THIS? I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS AFFECTS SO MANY OTHER MODELS. YIKES! THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DANGER OR GOT STUCK WITH A LOFTY REPAIR BILL. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE HIDDEN WELDMENT HOLDING THE REAR LIFTGATE STRUT BROKE CAUSING THE STRUT TO BECOME DISLODGED AND ALLOWING THE GATE TO VIOLENTLY FALL ON MY BACK, SHOULDERS AND HEAD. WHILE PAINFUL FOR ME THIS COULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC IMPACT ON A CHILD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T REPAIR THIS AND SUGGEST I TALK TO A BODY SHOP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND DISPLAYED ZERO. THE OIL GAUGE ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING BEYOND THE EIGHTY PRESSURE MARK AND STAYED IN THAT POSITION. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE CLUSTER PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASED INTERMITTENTLY BUT IT DID NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60MPH WHILE TRAVELING. DIDN'T MATTER IF STOPPED, ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR TURNING VEHICLE OFF. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT SEEMED TO CAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER TO DECREASE, SOME, FINALLY GETTING IT TO REGISTER 20MPH. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING THE SPEEDOMETER STILL REGISTERED 20 MPH AND UPON ACCELERATION THE SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATED FINALLY SETTLING AT 80MPH. WE WERE UNABLE TO TELL HOW FAST WE REALLY ARE TRAVELING BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER IS WACKO. STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HELP. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT RESET TO ZERO IT IS NOW STUCK AT 80MPH. OUR LOCAL GM DEALER ADVISED THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 75,000 MILES WAS OFFERED ON THE VEHICLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. OUR VEHICLE IS OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE WARRANTY. GM IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH WACKO SPEEDOMETERS HENCE THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. ONE WOULD ASSUME BEING ABLE TO MONITOR ONES SPEED IN A VEHICLE IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED A CODE PO 442. THIS CODE IS INDICATIVE OF A FUEL SYSTEM LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM. REPLACED GAS CAP. PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. FILLED VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IN OCTOBER 2010 AND SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IS PRESENT. EACH TIME FUEL NOZZLE FAILS TO SHUT OFF FUEL FROM GASOLINE PUMP AND GASOLINE IS SPILLED ON THE GROUND NEAR PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR CREATING AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE NEVER IN ACCIDENT OR MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. VEHICLE HAS 62,000 MILES. A COURTESY GENERAL MOTORS REPAIR PROGRAM IS IN PLACE FOR THESE VEHICLES IF THE LONG WHEELBASE MODELS. NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES IN THE SHORT WHEELBASE MODELS ALSO. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ACCORDING TO THE GM DEALER THAT SERVICES THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY WANT OVER $1500 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND THE TANK UNIT WHICH INCLUDES THE FUEL PUMP, GAUGE, AND HOSE CONNECTIONS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE THAT SETS THE CHECK ENGINE LAMP, OR THE PROBLEM OF GASOLINE LEAKAGE/SPILLAGE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION AND THEREFORE IS NOT ALLOWED ON THE ROAD. A FORCED RECALL SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE MADE FOR THESE VEHICLES. AT A COST OF OVER $35,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THE HAZARDS IT REPRESENTS, IT IS A TOTAL TRAVESTY THAT GM REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR
