ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC; SHOWING WRONG SPEED ALMOST ALL THE TIME. 1000S OF REPORTS OF THIS ON INTERNET IN GM AND CHEVROLET SUVS OF THE SAME TYPE. I HAVE 2004 ENVOY XL AND THIS COST ME AROUND $600. THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS SAME PART IS USED ON MANY OF THE GM AND CHEVROLET VEHICLES AS THERE ARE EVEN OUTSIDE BUSINESSES WHO NOW FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY CASES IN GMS. PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE IN THE VEHICLE SPEED SECTION BUT SOME ARE INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR SOME MODELS BUT NOT MY MODEL. IF IT IS TRULY THE SAME PART THEN WHY ISN'T MY MODEL INCLUDED? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE ODOR OF GAS WAS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE AT A STOP SIGN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CORRODED WITH RUST CAUSING THE PUMP TO SPRAY FUEL TO THE TOP, PENETRATE IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE CONTACT ASSUMED THE COST OF $444 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM THAT THERE IS NO RELATED RECALL. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 42,500. UPDATED 02-14-08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE LABOR COST WAS IN THE AMOUNT OF $220 EXTRA. UPDATED 02/14/08 *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL MALFUNCTIONED. ITS READINGS ARE VERY ERRATIC AND DO NOT CORRESPOND AT ALL WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE, READINGS OF 10 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND 100 MPH WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE READINGS VARY ANYWHERE FROM O MPH TO PAST 120 MPH AND ARE COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. THE FIRST SIGN WAS THE SPEEDOMETER STICKING AT 10 MPH EVEN AS I ACCELERATED; IT THEN BEGAN THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR MENTIONED ABOVE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING TO ME SINCE THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AS I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM INDIANA TO SOUTH CAROLINA WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED YESTERDAY AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *TR

TRAILER HITCHES
2004 GMC ENVOY UNSAFE HITCH. CONSUMER STATES THAT CLIP IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE HITCH PIN IN PLACE IS SO DESIGNED TO FIT OVER THE PIN TO HOLD IT IN PLACE, IS NOT SAFELY DESIGN. CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED A SAFER DESIGN FOR THE PIN AND CLIP WOULD BE TO HAVE A HOLE DRILLED INTO THE PIN WHEREBY THE CLIP COULD BE INSERTED INTO THE HOLE THEREBY ALLEVIATING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CLIP BEING JARRED LOOSE FROM THE PIN. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE TRAILER SLIGHTLY WENT AIRBORNE, FLIPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND THE TONGUE OF THE TRAILER STARTED HITTING THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SOON DISCOVERED THE SAFETY CHAINS HAD COME LOOSE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE HITCH DENIED THE CONSUMERS CLAIM. THEY STATED THAT THEIR PRODUCT WAS SAFE AND THERE WAS NO STRESS ON THE CLIP. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
ON 11/01/07 I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER ACTING ERRATIC; IT WOULD STAY ON 10 TO 20 MPH. WHEN I KNEW I WAS GOING FASTER. AT OTHER TIMES IT WOULD CREEP UP TO 75 OR 80 MPH. AND NOT GO DOWN WHEN I SLOW DOWN. OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD WORK FINE. THIS WENT ON ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT CORRECT ITSELF. IT FINALLY STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER COMING TO REST ABOVE 120 MPH. ON 12/07/07 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE INTERMENT PANEL AT A COST OF AROUND $470.00. THEY ALSO SAID IF I DIDN'T HAVE OVER 60,000 MILES ON MY CAR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I HAD 62,492 MILES ON THE DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND WHEN THE OIL WAS JUST RECENTLY CHANGED THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AT THE POINT WHERE THE FILLER MET THE MAIN BODY OF THE TANK. HE SAID SINCE THE TANK WAS PLASTIC THE GAS WAS CAUSING THE DETERIORATION AND THE ENTIRE TANK WOULD CAUSE A MAJOR ISSUE. AFTER CHECKING WITH OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF THE 3 YR WARRANTY PERIOD AND SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN ARIZONA AND NOT CALIFORNIA IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED GMC WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE PART OF A REPLACEMENT PLAN THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE PAYING FOR, NOT LIKE A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM (CHANGING TIRES, OIL CHANGES, SPARK PLUGS, ETC.) CUTTING CORNERS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE LIGHTER AND THEN NOT SUPPORTING THE CHANGE IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO BE POPULAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
1. I PURCHASED A 2004 ENVOY. THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM HAD IT UNDER WARRANTY. 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE COMING ON AND OFF, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS STARTED TO LOCK BY THEMSELVES SIMULTANEOUSLY. NON STOP. IT SCARES MY CHILDREN, AS WELL AS I, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO SPARK A FIRE OR WHAT. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT MORE THAN OTHERS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN IT RAINS, BUT IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I ROLL THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW UP. EVEN IF ITS NOT DOWN AND I ROLL IT UP IT DOES IT. AS WELL AS IF I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE AND SOMETIMES IT JUST DOES IT ON ITS ON. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A GMC DEALER 4 OR MORE TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM ANY WHERE. SO, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIND A SOLUTION. I PARK MY $18,000 VEHICLE NEXT TO THE ROAD IN CASE IT DOES SPARK A FIRE. PLEASE INFORM ME IF ANYTHING IS AVAILABLE OR WHO I NEED TO CONTACT AT GMC TO FIND AN ANSWER. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES GMC HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON CAR TO COVER ALL OF THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I JUST BOUGHT A USED 04 GMC ENVOY WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. NOW ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. SOMETIMES IT WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK IT READS TO HIGH OR TWO LOW. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 AND IT WILL DROP BELOW 0. OR I CAN BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT SHOWS 40. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE WEB SHOWS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL GM AND GMC SHOULD HAVE TO DO A RECALL ON THIS AS IT COULD BE A LIFE AND SAFETY ITEM. FOR EXAMPLE ONE COULD SLOW TO THE RECOMMEND SPEED FOR A CURVE OR A TURN. IF THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING TWO LOW THEN THE PERSON WOULD BE TRAVELING TWO FAST FOR THE TURN. I SEE ALSO WHERE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT IS IN THE WORKS ON THIS. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND TAKEN TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A SMALL LEAK. THEY ADVISED THAT HOSES ARE TO BE CHECKED. HOSES WERE CHECKED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM. BUT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. NOW WAITING FOR PART TO BE REPLACED. *TR
