FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN DRIVING MY 2003 ENVOY IT SMELLED STRONGLY OF GAS AND UPON PARKING, IT WAS LEAKING GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND, I HAD IT TOWED AND THE SENDING UNIT WAS BAD, IF IT HAD SPARKED OR THERE HAD BEEN AN AEC, IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND THE COST IS $ 1000.00 AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THE FIRST EXTENDED SERVICE CORPORATION WILL NOT COVER IT, THE WARRANTY WAS FALSELY OFFERED TO ME BY THE SALES REP AT WAESTCOTT BUICK BURLINGTON NC AND WAS COSTLY AND WORTHLESS. THE ENVOY WAS A LEASE OUT OF PA, WHICH ALSO WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO US. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE COST AND DISAPPOINTMENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY THAT WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2008. THE VEHICLE WORKED PERFECTLY UNTIL JUNE OF 2008, WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. ANYTHING LESS THAN 3/4 FULL TANK WAS REGISTERING AS "EMPTY". AT THIS TIME, FEBRUARY 2009, THE GAUGE CONSTANTLY READS "EMPTY", EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS AND THE GMC WEBSITE, HOWEVER, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE FUEL FLOAT THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. I PERSONALLY CANNOT AFFORD $300 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO CARRYING PAPER AND PENCIL TO TRY AND MONITOR MY FUEL CONSUMPTION AND MPG SO I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE ENTIRE PANEL WOULD GO OUT AND ALL THE GAUGES BOTTOMED OUT. I COULD NOT TELL MY SPEED, GAS LEVEL, RPMS, ETC. THE PANEL WOULD STAY OUT FOR A FEW DAYS THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. ALSO ON OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STICK AT 60 MPH AND ONLY CORRECT ITSELF IF I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON. FINALLY, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT AND HAS NEVER COME BACK ON. I HAVE DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND AM AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO JUDGE MY FUEL LEVEL. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS IN AN AREA WITH EASY ACCESS TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. (I CAN'T BE SURE OF THIS, HOWEVER, SINCE THE ODOMETER IS A PART OF THE PANEL THAT IS OUT.) THIS IS A SERIOUS AND, ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, RECURRING PROBLEM THE GMC SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT AND PAY FOR. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, INTERIOR LIGHTING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR HEAD LAMPS FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITHOUT WARNING. AS A CONSEQUENCE, VISIBILITY IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NOTICED PERIODIC INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE/ACCURACY PROBLEMS. SPEEDOMETER WILL SOMETIMES WORK OR WORK ERRATICALLY SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM GOING. I RESEARCHED ON THE WEB AND FOUND THIS IS VERY TYPICAL FOR THIS MODEL. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL ONLY REPAIR (NO COST) THE GMC PICKUPS AND NOT MY SUV MODEL EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME PART. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION REGARDLESS OF WHAT VEHICLE THIS IS IN. WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS IN MN REQUIRE DILIGENCE IN SPEED AND BRAKING, THIS IS A HUGE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR GMC AND THEY ARE JUST IGNORING CERTAIN MODELS FOR WARRANTY REPAIR AND FORCING THE CONSUMER TO SPEND $500.00 (EST.) TO FIX THERE PROBLEM! *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER OPERATION, WE TOOK IT IN TO IN TO BE CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW CLUSTER, ALSO WHILE IT WAS THERE I HAD THEM CHECK THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT WHICH CAME ON ERRATICALLY AND THEY SAID IT ALSO NEEDED A NEW MODULE. THIS IS FOR A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 64,984 MILES. NO EXTENDED WARRANTY SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE ALL THE WORK DONE. THE DAY I HAD IT CHECKED OUT THE SERVICE REP DID SAY THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH A CERTAIN YEAR AND IF WE HAD THE RIGHT YEAR AND VEHICLE AND IF IT WAS UNDER 70,000 MILES THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. WHEN WE CAME BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE WORK DONE HE SAID AFTER I ASKED HIM IT WAS FOR A SILVERADO NOT SURE IF HE SAID 2003 OR 2004 BUT NOT FOR OUR VEHICLE..... I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AFTER 40 YEARS OF BUYING GM VEHICLES THAT GM DIDN'T TAKE CARE OR HELP TAKE CARE OF THE COST OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE FLUTTERED AND THEN STUCK BETWEEN 100-120 MPH. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THERE IS ANY CURRENT SERVICE BULLETIN (E.G., #07187A (INCLUDES ENVOY) AND #07187B (DOES NOT INCLUDE ENVOY), OR #040845010) WHICH COVERS THIS DEFECT WHICH, ACCORDING TO VARIOUS CHAT SITES, HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER VEHICLES. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WE ARE AWAITING A REPLACEMENT PART WHICH WILL BE AT OUR EXPENSE. REPLACEMENT COSTS VARY BE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION. *TR
