ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
2004 GMC ENVOY XL SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER INACCURATE READINGS. SPEEDOMETER READINGS SOME AS HIGH AS 115-120. HAVE NO IDEA THE ACTUAL SPEED AT WHICH I AM TRAVELING. TERRIFIED TO THINK OF USING CRUISE CONTROL WHEN TRAVELING INTERSTATES MANY TIMES EACH YEAR. HAVE REVIEWED ONLINE COMMENTS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. GM/GMC APPEARS TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BASED ON THE COMMENTS AND DEALER/SERVICE RESPONSES. STANDS TO REASON THAT A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL COULD AFFECT OTHER FUNCTIONS OF CAR. NOT KNOWING SPEED AT WHICH I AM TRAVELING IS DIRE SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT HAS NHTSA DONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH GM/GMC? *TR

XUV WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD. VEHICLE SAT OVER NIGHT AND WOULD NOT START THE NEXT DAY. DEALER CHECKED ALL SYSTEMS, REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH. TWO WEEKS LATER, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WAS DETERMINED THE STARTER WAS BAD, IT WAS REPLACED. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS GOING HAYWIRE LIKE OTHERS. MECHANIC STATED IT WOULD COST OVER $700 TO REPLACE COMPONENTS. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY. FUEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. WHILE GAUGE USUALLY STAYS AT E EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK, OCCASIONALLY IT WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR BUSY STREETS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE IS INOPERABLE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2004 -2007 GMC ENVOY, CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS AND BUICK RANIER. I KNOW AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS NOT A CLASS ACTION ISSUE BUT TO MANY COMMENTS ARE ON THE INTERNET. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT INTERSECTIONS AND PARKING LOTS WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AFTER BEING STOPPED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE WITH THE GM PRODUCTS. GM SHOULD BE RECALL ALL VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNITS AT NO CHARGE OR A REDUCED CHARGE(COST OF PART OR LABOR WHICHEVER IS THE LEAST COST TO THE OWNER). THE GOVERNMENT HAS BAILED THEM OUT NOW IT IS TIME FOR GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. ALSO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ALSO AND THIS RESULTED IN SPEEDING TICKETS. I HAVE REPLACED WITH A REMANUFACTURED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT THE COST OF $150.00 VS $600.00 WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER IS FAILING. MY SPEEDOMETER HAS TOTALLY QUIT WORKING.MY GAS GAUGE IS STARTING TO FAIL ALSO. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT GMC HAS ADMITTED THE STEPPING MOTORS ARE DEFECTIVE, ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GAUGES FOR MY 2003 GMC ENVOY. A CLASS LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED, ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET .ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET,THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2003-2007 GMC'S. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS APPX. $800.00. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT KNOWING MY CORRECT SPEED, DUE TO THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. SOON I WILL NOT KNOW ....HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY GMC. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET MY OTHER GAUGES WILL SOON FAIL. I PURCHASED MY GMC BRAND NEW FOR $38,000. I FEEL MY GMC ENVOY IS UNSAFE, DUE TO THE REASONS I HAVE JUST LISTED. I FEEL GMC SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO OPERATE THE GMC LIKE THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE FAILURE IS CONSTANT...NO SPEEDOMETER. THIS COULD CAUSE MY TO DRIVE OVER THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT WITH OUT MY KNOWLEDGE, WHICH IS UNSAFE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS YET. AT THIS TIME I CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *TR

I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW IN FEB 06. MY FUEL GAUGE HASN'T WORKED IN 3 YEARS. IT CONSTANTLY READS EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON. I HAVE TO REFUEL EVERY 300 MILES TO ENSURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. I WAS QUOTED $500 TO FIX IT AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEREFORE, IT CONTINUES TO BE FAULTY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL METER REPEATEDLY INCORRECT ON 2006 GMC ENVOY. AFTER FILLING THE CAR, THE FUEL LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE GAS METER WILL READ EMPTY. DRIVING WILL CAUSE THE GAS METER TO BOUNCE BETWEEN 0 - FULL SPORADICALLY - SOMETIMES STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE, AT 1/4, 3/4, 1/2 TANK. ALWAYS INCORRECT. VERY DANGEROUS. NO IDEA WHERE MY FUEL LEVEL IS AT ANY TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 ENVOY AND I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. I FILL UP THE TANK AND IT DOES NOT READ FULL, IT CONTINUES TO READ EMPTY. WHILE DRIVING MY SON BACK TO SCHOOL WITH MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR THE SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS SHOWING THAT I WAS GOING 120 MILES WHEN I WAS ONLY GOING 40 ISH. THE OTHER THING THAT SHOCKS ME IS THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE ISSUES. IT HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR
