ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I WAS RETURNING FROM LUNCH, GOING OVER THE VINCENT THOMAS BRIDGE IN L.A. HARBOR. I LOOKED OUT AT THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, THEN LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER. I WAS GOING 90 MPH. I STARTED TO PANIC AND WENT FOR THE BRAKE. MY OTHER SENSES KICKED IN AND SAID "YOUR NOT GOING 90 MPH" . I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER "SAID" ALL KINDS OF NUMBERS. WHEN I PARKED, I THINK IT SAID 40MPH. THAT WAS TWO MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN THE SPEEDOMETER HAS READ ALL KINDS OF WIERD NUMBERS. SOMETIMES IT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY CLOSE, THEN IT GOES OFF THE CHARTS TO 140MPH. I HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT OUT, THE VEHICLE HAS 79,000 MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT GM WOULD COVER IT UP TO 70,000 MILES. THE DEALER WANTED $325.00 FOR THE PART AND $200.00 TO INSTALL IT. I SAID NO SO HE CHARGED ME $45.00 TO CHECK THE ELECTRICAL. BESIDES THE SAFETY FACTORS, WHAT REALLY BOTHERED ME WAS TWO THINGS. 1) THE DEALER MADE THIS SEEM LIKE AN ISOLATED CASE. THIS SITUATON IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE SIMPLY SAID "IT'S PROBALLY A STEPPER MOTOR, IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM,$ 500.00 TO FIX". INSTEAD HE PLAYED DUMB AND CHECKED OVER MY VEHICLE FOR $45.00. THE SECOND THING IS, I TOOK THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OUT TO TAKE A LOOK. IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES. WHERE DOES THE DEALER COME UP WITH $200.00 THE VEHICLE IS SUBSTANDARD. INSTEAD OF OWNING UP TO THE SITUATION, THE DEALER USED THIS SITUATION TO MAKE MONEY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTED AND IT IS PROPER. GM COULD FIX ALL THESE VEHICLES FOR LESS THAN $50.00 A PIECE, IF THEY WERE SMART. INSTEAD THERE ARE HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS OF GM CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE STATED ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY WILL NEVER BUY A GM PRODUCT AGAIN. GO FIGURE! *CN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. I CAN BE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE SPEEDO WILL BE PEGGED AT 120MPH. OR WHEN IM DRIVING IT WONT MOVE AT ALL. SOMETIMES...I'LL START THE CAR, AND THE SPEED WILL BE SITTING AT 40 MPH. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3-4 MONTHS NOW. AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP ME. THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ($475+) TO RESOLVE MY PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2003 ENVOY WITH 68,000 WAS REAR ENDED. SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT I BEGAN TO HEAR A CLUNCKING NOISE WHEN STOPPING. AFTER I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED I WAS INFORMED THAT IT NO LONGER WOULD GO IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE SUNSHELL GEAR WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FINE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THE DEALER IS CLAIMING IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT AND THUS I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ESTIMATED $2,500 TO FIX! *TR
