ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY. TWO YEARS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING. IT NOW DOES NOT KEEP THE SPEED AT ALL. MY RPM (WHEN IN PARK) WILL REV UP TO 2 OR 3RPM, MY GAS GAUGE HAS NOW STARTED TO SOMETIMES NOT SHOW I HAVE ANY GAS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME, MY AIR CONDITIONER WILL BLOW OUT THE BACK VENT AND BARELY COME OUT OF THE FRONT VENT WHEN I HAVE IT UP FULL BLAST. AND TO TOP IT OFF MY BACK BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT.. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS FORUMS WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SOME OF THESE SAME ISSUES BUT NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL. I DEFINITELY THINK THESE BAD INSTRUMENT PANELS CALL FOR A RECALL!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO CUT A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC OVER THE SPEEDOMETER AND BEFORE IT QUIT COMPLETELY WORKING WHEN WE WOULD GO ON VACATION, WE WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON BUSY HIGHWAYS EVERY 20 MINUTES OR SO TO SET THE SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO SO IT WOULDN'T SHOW ME GOING 120MPH. OF COURSE I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT NOW. I'M JUST AMAZED I HAVEN'T ENDED UP WITH A TICKET FOR MY SPEED OR MY RUNNING OR BRAKE LIGHTS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE ENVOY IN TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO A GM DEALER. I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN THIS WEEK TO HAVE AIR WORKED ON AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY OVER $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR IN A CAR THAT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. PLEASE HELP!! *TR

PURCHASED A 2003 ENVOY IN NOVEMBER OF 2010 AT AROUND 86000 MILES IN ONE MONTH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT SO NO SPEEDOMETER AND AFFECTED THE OIL GAUGE. AT EXACTLY 100,000 MILES THE DRIVER DOOR PANEL WENT OUT COULD SMELL WIRES BURNING. CALLED DEALER WHERE PURCHASED TO TRADE IN ON VEHICLE IN WORKING ORDER AND HE WAS ABLE TO FIND PARTS FROM JUNK YARD TO REPLACE I WAS ALSO INFORMED THE PROBLEMS I HAD HAVE BECOME AN EPIDEMIC FOR ALL GMC VEHICLES AND PEOPLE ARE SPENDING A SMALL FORTUNE GETTING THEM REPAIRED. JUST WANT TO ADVISE ANYONE READING THIS TO STOP BUYING ANYTHING MADE MY GMC BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS NOR DOES THE GOVERNMENT MAKE THEM. *TR

ONE DAY I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND IT READ EMPTY WHEN I DROVE AWAY. IT HAS READ EMPTY EVER SINCE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MOVING SLIGHTLY ABOVE E FOR A FEW MININUTE WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER FILLING THE TANK AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND AM HOPING FOR A RECALL. I FILL UP EVERY OTHER DAY JUST TO BE SURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. MY ENVOY IS A 2005 WITH ABOUT 85K MILES.

GMC SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL SYSTEM, I CONTACTED THEM WHEN MY GAS GUAGE STARTED ACTING ERRACTILY, WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO DEALER AND PAY 100.00 FOR DIAGNOSIS, I SAID THE PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, SHE SAID SHE WASNT AWARE. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR THEM TO BE SAYING THEY DONT KNOW IT. MY HUSBAND HAS CANCER AND HE CANNOT TAKE A CHANCE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, THE ONLY TIME YOU KNOW IT HAS GAS IN IT IS WHEN YOU FILL IT UP! PLEASE HELP US GET THIS RESOLVED, I HAVE A GMC JIMMY PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!

GMC ENVOY DENALI XL 2006 FUEL GAUGE ISSUE. 1ST INCIDENT - FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK GAS AVAILABLE WHILE TRAVELING IN I-70 IL WHEN VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING AT 65MPH PASSING SEMI TRUCK.

I HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM CAR AND PROBABLY WILL NOT CONSIDER . *TR

ONE DAY MY OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND EVENTUALLY EVERY GAUGE IN MY PANEL STOPPED WORKING. THIS ALL STARTED AROUND NOV OF 2008. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I CHECKED ALL FUSES, BULBS AND WIRING. NOW TWO DAYS AGO MY HEAD LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON LOW BEAM. NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY FOUND HUNDREDS OF ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND NOW KNOW IT IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. EST COST FOR THE PART ONLY $570. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IN 2007 GMC ENVOY DOESN'T READ PROPERLY....EVEN WITH A FULL TANK THE GAUGE SAYS EMPTY. IM 8 MTHS PREGNANT AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DEPEND ON HAVING A GAS GAUGE THAT WORKS AND IF AS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS........ *TR
