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

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.

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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HIGH BEAMS ON VEHICLE PROJECT STRAIGHT UP TO THE SKY. WHEN WEATHER IS CLEAR IT IS NOT NOTICEABLE BUT WHEN RAINING, FOGGY OR SNOWING VISIBILITY IS AFFECTED A GREAT DEAL. MY INTERNET SEARCH INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH AN AFTERMARKET HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY BUT MINE ARE GM STAMPED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2004 ENVOY XUV SPEEDODOMETER STUCK AT 55MPH. I SPOKE TO DEALER TECHNICIAN AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BECAUSE OF A SMALL THING CALLED A STEPPER MOTOR. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES. I STRONGLY SUGGEST A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS FAILING ON THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. *LN

VISIBILITY
ON A COLD CLEVELAND OHIO DAY, I STARTED MY 2004 GMC ENVOY AND TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROST, AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER MY REAR WINDOW JUST EXPLODED! I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE SOUND WAS LIKE A GUNSHOT, AND IT NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, BUT I MANAGED TO PULL MY CAR OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER/INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILURE. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND NOW HAS FAILED. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD MULTIPLE LAW SUITS FILED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER IN DIFFERENT STATES. WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY IS MY VEHICLE (WHICH IS KNOWN BY GM TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM) NOT INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT (THE SETTLEMENT IN INCLUDED OTHER GMC, CHEVROLET AND CADILLAC VEHICLES)? IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWN TO ME BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE IT HAPPENED. ON THIS SITE ALONE THERE ARE MORE THAN 52 COMPLAINTS JUST FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS IT NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THANK YOU. *TR

2004 ENVOY, 81,300 MILES. FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING OR WHEN THEY DO IT IS VERY ERRATIC AND UNRELIABLE. ON A TRIP THROUGH MIN I NOTICED THE GAUGE SAID I WAS GOING 70 MPH IN 45 ZONE. THEN RAN OUT OF GAS ON ANOTHER TRIP NOT REALIZING THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ALSO NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. AT THIS POINT I USE MY GARMIN FOR DETERMINING SPEED. LOOKING TO GET IT FIXED BUT WAS ESTIMATED THE COST FOR NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL WOULD BE $600. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
ERRATIC SPEED ODOMETER READINGS, HAPPENS 3-4 TIMES WEEKLY. THIS HAPPENS FROM YOUR ACTUAL SPEED OF 40-60 MPH, YOU LOOK DOWN NEXT SECOND AND YOU ARE GOING 100-120 MPH PER ODOMETER. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP IT SAYS YOUR STILL GOING 90-110 MPH, ONLY WAY TO RESET YOUR ODOMETER IS TO PULL OVER AND RESTART YOUR CAR ABOUT 50-60 TIMES UNTIL IT SAYS 0 MPH. SOMETIMES THIS WONT LAST BUT 5 MIN... THIS ALSO INCREASES YOUR CARS MILEAGE. GMC WILL NOT REPAIR THIS WITH OUT CHARGING YOU 600 DOLLARS. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE ON THE ROAD AND NOT FAIR TO PEOPLE OWING CARS, OR BUYING CARS TO HAVE NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE ON A CAR NOR TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. UPDATED IVOQ 12/03/10. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK IN MT 2004 GMC ENVOY. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THE GMC PICKUPS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS HANDLED AS A RECALL. WHEN IT BEGAN, IT WOULD HANG UP AT A RANGE BETWEEN 60-90 MPH. IT NOW JUST SITS AT 0. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED FOR SPEEDING IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN MASSACHUSETTS, WHERE I WORK FOR GOING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5-15 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS HAS COST ME MONEY IN FINES AND MY AUTO INSURANCE, IT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL, GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. I INQUIRED WITH MY MECHANIC, AND ITS ABOUT A $900.00 FIX FOR ME TO REPAIR! *TR
