ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 GMC ENVOY MY SPEEDOMETER WILL STOP WORKING AND REGISTER AS 0 MPH EVEN WHEN I AM MOVING. IT ALSO HAS SHOWN ME TRAVELLING AT A MUCH HIGHER SPEED AT TIMES. THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS THAT I'VE FOUND WHILE SEARCHING THE WEB. IT IS UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS TO NOT KNOW THE SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING. I HAVE STARTED TO USE A GPS SYSTEM WHEN I DRIVE TO SHOW MY SPEED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER DARK AND MY LOW BEAMS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. I COULD ONLY GET MY HIGH BEAMS TO WORK. CURRENTLY ONLY ONE LOW BEAM IS WORKING AND THE OTHER WILL NOT WORK EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULB OR THE FUSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY HAVING A YOUNG CHILD. IT WAS VERY SCARY GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND HAVE YOUR LIGHTS COMPLETELY JUST GO OUT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH 06-07 ENVOYS BUT I WANTED GM TO BE MADE AWARE THAT 2005 MODELS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED AS WELL.
