ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING AND STARTED SMELLING LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING IN THE CAR SO I ATTEMPTED TO LET THE WINDOW DOWN AND COULD NOT. NO WINDOWS WILL GO DOWN AND I PULLED OVER TO CHECK UNDERNEATH HOOD TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS BURNING AND DIDNT SEE ANYTHING. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ANY FURTHER SO I TRIED TO LOCK THE DOORS AND WAS UNABLE TO LOCK ANY OF THE DOORS. THE ENTIRE WINDOW PANAL IS NON FUNCTIONING. I CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART BUT I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF AND WHEN I GO ONLINE TO CHECK IT SAYS RECALL LIST CLOSED WHICH I NEVER HEARD OF. I WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND GMC NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF RISK OF FIRE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON. I WORK NIGHTS SO IT'S IMPERATIVE MY LIGHTS ARE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. DRIVING 65 DOWN A HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND YOUR LIGHTS SHUT OFF IS A SCARY SITUATION. I NOTICED A RECALL FOR THIS IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS AND WOULD APPRECIATE CLARIFICATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC OR AT A STOP LIGHT, MY VEHICLE WILL IDLE ROUGHLY AND SOMETIME STALL. IT DOES THIS IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND PARK. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THERE ARE NO CODES SHOWING A PROBLEM.

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.

ENGINE
2004 ENVOY XUV, IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED, CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY AND I STARTED IT TO GO TO THE STORE AND IT STARTED CHUGGING AND THEN ALMOST DIED, BUT THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH.TURNED OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED, AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS STILL THERE SO MY HUSBAND HOOKED UP HIS CODE READER AND IT HAD THE CODE P1680 ( THROTTLE BODY POSTIONING CENSOR.) AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT'S DONE IT BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS JUST FLASHED IT WOULD NEVER STAY ON SO WE COULD READ THE CODE. BUT IN ORDER TO FIX THIS YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW THROTTLE BODY HOUSING BECAUSE THE CENSOR IS BUILT INTO IT. AND IT ISN'T CHEAP. AT AUTOZONE IT IS $280.00. AND YOU HAVE TO ALSO BUY A GASKET FOR IT AND NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS BECAUSE TO REMOVE THE THROTTLE BODY HOUSING WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE MANIFOLD YOU HAVE YO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD ALSO. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GM EXPECT US TO BE ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE IF IT'S ALWAYS SO MUCH MONEY FOR PARTS FOR THESE CARS. AND I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY BACK TAILGATE AND BOTH BIG WINDOW MOTORS. I HAVE REPLACED ONE BUT STILL SAVING UP TO REPLACE THE MIDDLE ONE AND I'VE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY GAS TANK WHICH IS $677.00 OR MORE AT THE DEALERS FOR A NEW GAS TANK BECAUSE U CAN'T JUST FIX THE FILLER HOSE. SUCH FAILURES WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE. SO I THINK GMC NEEDS TO TAKE A LONGER LOOK AT THESE GMC ENVOY XUVS AND GET SOME RECALLS OUT TO FIX THESE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. AND HONOR ALL CARS THAT COME IN NO MATTER WHAT. BECAUSE WE HAD TO FIX THE GAS TANK ISSUE OURSELVES BECAUSE WE COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW GAS TANK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE MY RESIDENCE. PERFORMED A WALK AROUND INSPECTION AND FOUND NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF FUEL LEAKAGE. OPENED THE HOOD AND HAD NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. ENVOY IS HARD TO START BUT ONCE STARTED CONTINUES TO RUN WITH NO ISSUES. GASOLINE FUMES ARE EVIDENT IN THE CAB WHILE PARKED BUT DISPERSE WHEN MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. UPON STOPPING IN TRAFFIC, FUMES IMMEDIATELY BECOME VERY STRONG IN THE CAB. RESEARCHING ON LINE SIMILAR SITUATIONS, IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. CHECKED UNDER THE ENVOY AND NOTICED SOME MINOR STREAKING ON THE TANK. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME FUEL PUMP EROSION ISSUE, THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR IS BETWEEN $650 AND $900. MA 10/6 THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER REMOVING THE GAS TANK, HE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THE METAL LINES BROKE OFF AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AS HE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE CLIPS HOLDING THE LINES ON TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AND THE ASSOCIATED METAL LINE WERE RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR. IT APPEARED THE METAL LINES AS PART OF THE FUEL PUMP WERE SPRAYING FUEL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE PUMP WAS RUNNING. THE DESIGN OF THE TOP OF THE TANK WITH THE FUEL PUMP PROVIDED A BOWL ON THE TOP OF THE TANK WHERE THE FUEL PUMP WAS LOCATED ALLOWING SALT WATER TO POOL ON TOP OF THE TANK DURING THE WINTER DRIVING SEASON. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AND THE TANK WAS RE-INSTALLED. UPDATED 03/01/16.*JB
