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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE FRONT BRAKE SHOES ON AN 2004 ENVOY HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY YEAR SINCE 2007. WILL NOT WEAR EVENLY AND CAUSES THE FRONT END TO VIBRATE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THERE WAS A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT WOULD RESET TO THE ACTUAL READING WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT WOULD STAY ON THE ACTUAL READING AND THEN A MINUTE LATER THE DIAL WOULD GO DOWN TO EMPTY. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS FOR A MONTH. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. IT SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TANK AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE TO DO QUITE A BIT OF TRAVELING DUE TO MY NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT AND FIND IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. CURRENTLY, I HAVE 81,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. AFTER SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE OR WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. $800 IS EXPENSIVE FOR ANY FAMILY WHO HAS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. *TR

VISIBILITY
WEATHER IS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND I PARKED MY 2007 ENVOY DENALI IN MY DRIVE. I DON'T HAVE A GARAGE SO IT SITS OUT IN THE EXTREME HEAT ADD COLD. I THOUGHT I HEARD A NOISE OUTSIDE AND WHEN I LOOKED OUT MY REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. NOTHING HIT IT, NOBODY WAS DOWN OUR ISOLATED LANE, IT JUST DECIDED TO FAIL. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS MENTIONING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE VEHICLES OVER MY 54 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A REAR WINDOW EXPLODING ON IT'S OWN. TO CUT TO THE CHASE MY VEHICLE WAS 9 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I DID GET SOME MONEY FROM THE GM REP AND THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT WAS $850 AND I WAS ASKED TO CHIP IN $200. I THINK THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN TIRES OR BRAKES WEARING OUT WITH TIME AND I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD COMPLETELY COVER THE WINDOW FAILURE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN ANOTHER FEW YEARS I COULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR SITS OUT IN THE ELEMENTS. IT WAS A MESS BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK OF THE INCONVENIENCE AND PROBLEMS I COULD HAVE HAD IF IT FAILED WHILE TRAVELING OR ON VACATION. THE SECURITY OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPROMISED WITH THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY GONE AND NO ALARM WHEN THE BREAK OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY I WAS HOME AND COULD KEEP OUT THE ELEMENTS BEFORE I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. I FEEL MY DEALER DID WHAT THEY COULD, BUT I THINK IN THIS CASE GM SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY WIFE AND I WERE ON A TRIP DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY, THE GAS GAUGE READ BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND "E" AND I PLANNED TO GET OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT (APROX 12 MILES) TO REFUEL. WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND PASSING IN THE LEFT LANE, OUR ENVOY JUST DIED! WITH NO POWER ANYTHING (BRAKES, STEERING, ECT.) I DESPERATELY MADE MY WAY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WE HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE READ PLENTY TO MAKE THE NEXT EXIT. STRANDED FOR HOURS AWAITING A TOW, OUT TRIP WAS RUINED. SINCE THEN THE FUEL GAUGE ON OUR ENVOY HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY, IT WILL READ "E" FOR DAYS JUST AFTER WE FILL UP THEN JUMP ALL OVER THE DIAL NEVER GIVING US THE SAME READING EACH TIME WE START THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER THIS WILL COST US $600 TO FIX OR LIVE WITH AN UNRELIABLE FUEL GAUGE, OF COURSE WHAT THE DON'T TELL YOU IS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH GMC ENVOYS THAT YOU WILL ONLY HEAR ABOUT WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
BEGINNING IN 2009 MY 2006 GMC ENVOY BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK SENSOR. IT WOULD SHOW EMPTY WHEN IN FACT IT WAS FULL. NOW THE PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS. I MUST USE TO ODOMETER TO GUESS WHEN I NEED TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS. IF THIS HAPPENS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA IF WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND TO OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY. AT FIRST MY RPM NEEDLE STARED TO MOVE UP FASTER THEN WHAT I WAS GOING FOR ABOUT A MONTH. WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS LETTING OUT A VACUUM NOISE. NOW IT'S BEEN A MONTH AND A HALF AND MY MPH IS NOT WORKING. IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON 80 MPS WHILE I'M SETTING AND GOES PAST 120 WHILE I'M DRIVING. ALSO THE GAS GAGE IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF GAS THAT'S IN THE TANK. I HOPE SOON THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER, BECAUSE EACH GAGE IS GOING OUT ONE BY ONE. I HOPE THIS WOULD BE A VEHICLE SAFETY HAZARD SINCE YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. THANK YOU

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT HAS A VARIABLE RESISTOR ATTACHED TO A FLOAT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. AS YOU USE FUEL, THE FLOAT CHANGES POSITION (DOWNWARDS) CAUSING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR TO CHANGE VALUE. THE CHANGE IN RESISTANCE CAUSES A CHANGE IN THE VOLTAGE SENT TO THE FUEL GAGE. MY P0463 ERROR IS SAYING THAT THE VARIABLE RESISTOR IS SHOWING HIGH INPUT, INSTEAD OF A TYPICAL SMALL VALUE. THIS MEANS THAT THE VARIABLE RESISTOR OR SOMETHING ELSE INSIDE THE SENDER UNIT IS CAUSING THE ECM TO "SEE" AN INVALID VOLTAGE ON THE FUEL GAGE CIRCUIT. IF THE VOLTAGE IS TOO HIGH THEN THE RESISTANCE IS TOO HIGH. POSSIBLY A BAD CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ECU AND THE SENDER OR A GROUNDING PROBLEM.

SPEEDOMETER HAS WEIRD SOUNDS LIKE BIRDS FLAPPING WINGS. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. GM USA CLAIMS THAT IT IS A DEFECT THAT THEY CANNOT REPAIR. THE ENVOY IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. REALLY ISN'T ACCEPTABLE. MAKES ONE WONDER IF THE READINGS ON MILEAGE, AND SPEED ARE ACCURATE. *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. AT 1/4 TANK, I FILLED UP THE TANK, STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE FUEL NEEDLE WENT PAST EMPTY AND LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER MANY RE-STARTS, DAYS THE GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. AS I DRIVE NOW WITH A FULL TANK THE GAUGE NEEDLE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY GO UP AND GO DOWN WITH DRIVING. *TR

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
