ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL NEEDLE GAUGES BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE SPEEDOMETER INITIALLY REGISTERED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN ACTUAL SPEEDS (REGISTERED 110+ MPH WHEN TRAVELING AT ~65 MPH) AND THEN STUCK AT 15 MPH REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL SPEED OR WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE TACHOMETER ALSO BEGAN TO REGISTER HIGHER THAN ACTUAL RPM, SHOWING 6,000+ RPM EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLES ENGINE WAS RETURNED TO IDLE OR TURNED OFF. OTHER GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS INCLUDE THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WHICH WOULD ALSO INTERMITTENTLY REGISTER HIGHER THAN ACTUAL PRESSURE. WITHOUT EITHER A FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER OR TACHOMETER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAINTAIN A SAFE DRIVING SPEEDS. HAVE CONTACTED A LOCAL GMC DEALER REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT YET IDENTIFIED A REMEDY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ENGINE SPEEDED UP WHEN PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME. MOST OF MY DASHBOARD GAUGES HAVE BEEN FAILING OVER THE LAST YEAR INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL PRIOR TO THE EVENT. I THINK IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE COMPUTER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. THE DEALER HAS ADVISE ME THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILING BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2004 ENVOY OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. FIRST ISSUE WAS AN ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER, THEN NON-WORKING GAS GAUGE, NOW IT IS ALL GAUGES. I HAVE A PICTURE WITH THE CAR IN PARK SHOWING 15 MPH, THE DIGITAL READING SHOWS A FULL TANK OF GAS BUT THE GAUGE NEEDLE IS BELOW EMPTY AND ALSO NO OIL PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE. THE ENTIRE CLUSTER IS FAULTY, NOT JUST ONE GAUGE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN THE SPRING OF 2009, WE BEGAN NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF OUR 2004 GMC ENVOY XL. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT CONSISTENT. THE GAS GAUGE BECAME UNRELIABLE. WE HAVE ALSO SEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE OIL GAUGE AND MOST RECENTLY THE READING FOR THE EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE. CURRENTLY, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE START OF THE PROBLEMS, AND THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND THE EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE READOUT ARE NEVER CORRECT. WE CONTACTED THE GMC DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND WERE TOLD THAT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAD BEEN LOGGED REGARDING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. I BELIEVE THE COST TO HAVE IT FIXED WAS GOING TO BE $400-$500. IF SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY WILL GMC NOT ISSUE A RECALL AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS; WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, PROBABLY A FAULTY SENSOR, NOT HARMFUL. SO, LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, USING CRUISE CONTROL AND ON THE INTERSTATE MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT AN EXIT I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 42 MPH BUT I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED SHOULD IT HAVE BEGUN TO WORK WHILE I WAS DOING 60+MPH WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL!!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! SO I CAME HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL AND LOW AND BEHOLD THIS IS AN ISSUE TO ALL GMC SUVS FROM 2002-2005! I AM DISGUSTED AT THE INFORMATION I FOUND THAT STATES GMC ISN'T WILLING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE RECALL/REPAIR WHEN THIS IS ALREADY A KNOWN ISSUE!! PLEASE ACT ON THIS WITH DUE DILIGENCE AND RECALL THIS FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE!!!! *TR

HI, I'M A OWNER OF A GMC ENVOY XL. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE GAUGES ALTOGETHER. 1ST IT WAS THE FUEL GAUGE AND THEN NOW ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ARE OUT.

ITS NOT THAT ITS THE MOST COSTLY PART TO FIX BUT I DONT FEEL THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE IF UST ABOUT EVERYONE THAT OWNS THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE. ITS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON WHILE YOUR ON THE ROAD AS WELL THATS WHAT THE GAUGES ARE FOR. PLEASE HELP!!!!
