SUSPENSION:REAR
REAR SUSPENSION ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY DENALI HAS AN AIR LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM. IT CONTINUOUSLY DEFLATES. MANUFACTURES OWNERS MANUAL SAYS AFTER 3 DAYS OF NON-USE WILL IT DEFLATE. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR COMPRESSOR STARTS INTERMITTENTLY TO INFLATE IT BACK UP. THIS STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2008, AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY AND THERE IS A GAS LEAK. I BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER 2006. IN 2007, I TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY MY NOT TIGHTENING THE GAS CAP. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH PUMPING GAS INTO TANK, PROBLEMS WITH A GAS SMELL WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED OR IF I GO OVER A BUMP. NOW, THERE IS REDUCED POWER. HUSBAND SAYS IT IS ON FUEL FILLER NECK. ON SEVERAL WEB PAGES, IT SAYS THERE WAS A RECALL ONLY I AM UNABLE TO FIND ANY INFORMATION ON IT. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AND WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET IN A CRASH. WE HAVE 5 KIDS THAT I DRIVE AROUND. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST $500 AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY SHIFT INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEAR AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE RPMS WOULD REV HIGHER THAN NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PICK UP SPEED. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD HUMMING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $2,000. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT HE COULD REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,386 UPDATED 07/28/09 *BF THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 58,000 MILES. UPDATED 07/31/09.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AND AT ANY TIME CAN SHOW THAT I'M DOING 70 WHEN I AM STOPPED, BE PEGGED, OR SOMETIMES IT WORKS. I HAVE TO USE MY GPS TO DETERMINE MY SPEED. I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAD HEARD THAT THERE WAS FOR VEHICLES UP TO 7 YEARS OLD OR UP TO 70,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A ROARING SOUND AT TIMES WHEN I FIRST BEGIN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IF I SLOW DOWN OR STOP WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE COMMONLY STALLS. HAS NEVER STALLED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE THE ECAS (ELECTRIC SUSPENSION) ON MY VEHICLE, BUT I WAS NOT PART OF RECALL 04V289000 AS FAR AS I KNOW. THIS RECALL SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 3-4 YEARS, AND EVEN THE DEALER "CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM." I'LL I EVER HEAR IS THAT THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE IS A PIECE OF '!@#$%. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY AND THE SPEEDOMETER ACTS ERRATICALLY, AND IS NEVER CORRECT. I'VE RESEARCHED IT AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT, AND FROM OTHER INTERNET USERS MESSAGES ON SITES, THERE ARE A LOT OF GM VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM!! I DON'T PERSONALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED, THAT AND I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE MY PROBLEM TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT EITHER, GM PUT A BAD PART IN THE VEHICLES SO I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
PROBLEM JUST STARTED WITH NO WARNING. SPEEDOMETER READS 60 MPH WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED WITH ENGINE OFF. WHEN YOU CRANK THE VEHICLE. SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR DROPS DOWN APPROX. 5 MPH (55 MPH) THEN WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR (NEEDLE) GOES PAST THE 120 READING ON THE SPEEDOMETER. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT DETERMINE THE TRUE SPEED VEHICLE IS REALLY GOING . VEHICLE ODOMETER AND TRIP ODOMETER ARE NOT AFFECTED (CHECKED BY MILE MARKER ON INTERSTATE). FAILURE IS CONSISTENCE . OCCURS EVERYTIME VEHICLE IS OPERATED. NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID (NO RECALL) . VEHICLE HAS APPROX 52,000 MILES. *TR

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THERE WAS NO FORE-WARNING. IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH, IT READS I'M GOIN 25 MPH. THE NEEDLE FALLS BELOW "0" WHEN IDLING.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE ENVOY BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AT APPROXIMATELY 58, 000 MILES WHEN THE GAS TANK BEGAN READING EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK. EVENTUALLY, AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM IF I PAID FOR HALF OF THE REPAIRS. I REFUSED. LATER, AT APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, JUST RECENTLY IT WAS STUCK AT 120 MPH EVEN IN PARK. NOW, THE BATTERY GAUGE HAS BEGUN TO MALFUNCTION. THE BATTERY CHARGE RANGES FROM THE LOWEST TO THE HIGHEST WITH NO REAL RHYME OR REASON. IT IS APPARENT BY READING ON THE INTERNET FORUMS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PRODUCT DEFECT AS IT HAPPENS TO MANY, MANY GMC OWNERS, ESPECIALLY 2002-2005 ENVOY OWNERS. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH GMC DIRECTLY AND RECEIVED RESPONSES THAT ARE NOT SATISFACTORY. THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE A RECALL EFFORT AND REPAIRED BY GMC AS THEY ARE CLEARLY PRODUCT DEFAULT NOT JUST GENERAL WARE AND TEAR OF THE VEHICLE. THESE PROBLEMS ARE COSTLY AND PRESENT SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. *TR
