Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE CAR STARTED LUGGING AND NOT DRIVING SMOOTHLY. WHEN I NEEDED TO BRAKE SHORTLY AFTER THIS HAPPENED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANY ONE. I CONTINUED ABOUT 5 MILES CONTINUALLY PUMPING THE BRAKES NOT KNOWING IF THEY WOULD WORK .DURING THIS TIME THE PEDAL WOULD SOMETIMES GO TO THE FLOOR AND OTHER TIMES ALMOST GO TO THE FLOOR. THEN AS SUDDENLY AS IT STARTED IT STOPPED. BRAKES WERE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY AND THE GMC MECHANIC FOUND NOTHING WRONG. SO I'M PUT BACK ON THE STREET RISKING MY LIFE AND SOMEONE ELSE'S BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID "IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS". THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Summary

HELLO, FIRST OFF, THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE ISSUE OR COMPLAINT. THIS IS AN AFTER MARKET COMPONENT ISSUE REGARDING BOSCH EVOLUTION WIPER BLADES. I PURCHASED BOSCH EVOLUTION ALL SEASON WIPERS FOR MY 2004 ENVOY FROM WOOT.COM AND INSTALLED THEM LAST SUMMER. THEY WORKED FINE UNTIL LAST MONTH WHEN WINTER WEATHER HIT HERE IN NEW YORK STATE. IN COLD WINTER CONDITIONS THREE THINGS HAVE OCCURRED: 1.THE WIPER LATCHES ARE LIFTING UP (RELEASING) ALLOWING THE WIPERS TO NO LONGER BE SECURED TO THE WIPER ARM. MY PASSENGER SIDE WIPER HAS ACTUALLY SEPARATED FROM THE WIPER ARM TWICE SO FAR, AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO RETRIEVE THE WIPER FROM THE STREET WHILE AVOIDING TRAFFIC. 2.AND, IN COLD WINTER CONDITIONS THE WIPERS BLADES ARE TAKING A 'SET' THUS SCRAPING THE WINDOW LOUDLY IN ONE DIRECTION INSTEAD OF WIPING THE GLASS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. 3.ALSO, THE COLD WEATHER IS MAKING THE WIPER BLADES FORM INTO A CURVED SHAPE AWAY FROM THE GLASS, INSTEAD OF BEING FLAT ON THE GLASS. THIS PREVENTS THE WIPER BLADE FROM CONTACTING MOST OF THE WINDSHIELD. I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING BECAUSE THE WIPERS ONLY CLEARED THE WINDOW AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES BECAUSE ONLY THE ENDS OF THE WIPER BLADE WERE MAKING CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED BOSCH AUTOMOTIVE AND THEY REPLIED THEY ONLY HAVE A 30 DAY WARRANTY ON WIPERS AND I SHOULD CONTACT THE SELLER. BECAUSE OF BOSCH'S I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE I AM CONTACTING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) REGARDING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SORRY TO BOTHER YOU WITH THIS ISSUE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BACK IN 2012,I WAS UNABLE TO PASS INSPECTION ON MY CAR BECAUSE MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON (02/2012) AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC. SOMETHING UNDER MY CAR MELTED (SAID IN SERVICE RECEIPT) AND COST ME $343.00 TO REPAIR. A WEEK LATER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN AND I TOOK MY CAR TO KERBECKS GMC IN ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. SERVICE MANAGER SAID MY CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED, BUT I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID OTHERWISE. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER AND AFTER LONG ARGUMENT, IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. RECEIPT DOESN'T STATE CAUSE OR WORK DONE. NOW I BROUGHT CAR BACK TO KERBECK AS THE SMELL OF GAS IN MY CAR IS PUNGENT. THEY SAID MY CAR HAD A CRACK IN MY FUEL TANK, COVERED UNDER 14423 AND SAID GM WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE IT AS A FIRE COULD OCCUR. ERBECK GAVE ME A LOANER FOR TWO WEEKS ON 12/31/20015.

SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND TO SAFETY PRIOR TO BEING HIT BY 2 OTHER CARS COMING DOWN THE ROAD. THE ENVOY WAS TOTALED. BY THE GRACE OF GOD MY DAUGHTER MADE IT OUT ALIVE AND IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH HER LEFT KNEE. WE ARE NOT SURE WHY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, UNABLE TO TURN, FORCING HER DIRECTLY INTO THE MEDIAN. IT COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN OR WHEELS. THE ENVOY IS CURRENTLY AT A COLLISION YARD IN LEVITTOWN, PA.

Summary

ONE DAY MY SUNROOF WORKED AND THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT. IT WAS STUCK IN THE IN THE OPEN POSITION (NOT FULLY OPEN, BUT WHEN THE FRONT END RAISES AN INCH OR SO). I TOOK IT TO A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A WHOLE NEW ASSEMBLY AND QUOTED ME $2,100. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS DEFECT AT ALL. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS ONLY WORTH $5,000 AND I PAID OVER $14,000 FOR IT IN 2009 WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM A GM DEALERSHIP. I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE $2,100 ON THIS VEHICLE. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE THAT I HAVE HAD. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THEY FIXED THAT. THEN A YEAR LATER, WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY NEW BORN, THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION GOING 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER AND THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT, BUT IT WOULD COVER A RESTORATION OF THE COMPUTER. THEN WHEN I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE THE REFUSED TO LET ME TAKE IT UNTIL I PAID $200. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING SINCE THAT AND CAN BARELY MAINTAIN IDLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT TIMES. NOW BACK TO THE SUNROOF, AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX IT THE MECHANIC TOOK OUT THE SUNROOF AND JUST SET IT IN THE FRAME SO AT LEAST WATER WOULD NOT GET IN WHEN IT RAINED. HOWEVER, IT IS JUST SITTING IN THERE AND CAN EASILY BE LIFTED OUT AND MAY EVEN GET BLOWN OUT ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN EXACTLY WILL THIS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD? WHEN MY SUNROOF BLOWS OFF ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSES A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT? OR WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN ON THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND MY CHILDREN AND I GET KILLED IN A PILE UP? GM HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF NEGLECTING TO RECALL VEHICLES WITH SAFETY ISSUES RECENTLY. CLEARLY, GM REFUSES TO PROTECT ITS CUSTOMERS. PLEASE HELP PROTECT CONSUMERS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Summary

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.

STARTED SMELLING GAS, STARTED DRIPPING FUEL. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE FUEL LINES COMING OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AT THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. DRIPPING GAS COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. LEARNED THERE WAS A TSB ON THIS AND EXTENDED WARRENTY DUE TO CORROSION OF FUEL LINES. THE WARRENTY WAS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150K. THE VEHICLE IS NOW 11 YEARS OLD. I HAVE LIVED IN THE SAME HOUSE FOR EIGHT YEARS AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL OR TSB NOTICE FROM GMC. OVER 800$ FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP AND TO DROP GAS TANK FOR REPAIRS. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 IT ONLY HAS 67K ON IT.

Summary

ABOUT 9-10 MONTHS AGO STARTED NOTICING A FUEL SMELL AROUND BACK OF TRUCK. REPLACED GAS CAP, BUT THE ODOR CONTINUED. INQUIRED AT LOCAL DEALER, BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. TRIED A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT I HAD USED BEFORE, BUT AT THAT TIME, THEY CLAIMED THEY FOUND NO CAUSE EITHER. ON MY THIRD TRIP TO LOCAL MECHANIC, WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A CRACK IN MY FILLER/GAS TANK CAUSING THE SMELL. FINALLY THEY FOUND THE CAUSE ONLY TO INFORM ME THAT NOW MY TRUCK IS BEYOND THE MILEAGE AND/OR DATE OF THE 'RECALL' THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT BY GMC ABOUT MY GAS TANK, AND IT WILL ONLY COST "ABOUT" $1200 TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK. I'VE RESIDED IN THE SAME HOME WELL LONGER THAN I'VE OWNED MY TRUCK, SO MY HOME ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ARE ALL STILL THE SAME AS THEY WERE THEN, AND HAD NO NOTIFICATION THAT THEIR WAS ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON MY TRUCK. HAVE TRIED EMAILING AND SNAIL MAILING GMC ON MANY NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO SEE IF I COULD GET ANY HELP WITH THE UNKNOWN OF RECALL, BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY ANSWER WHAT'S SO EVER FROM THEM AT ALL. OBVIOUSLY, IF I HAD THE DISPOSABLE INCOME, I WOULD NOT BE PURSUING ANOTHER SOLUTION, BUT LIKE MANY, I CONTINUE TO LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND MY TRUCK IS THE MAIN LIFELINE TO MAINTAIN WHAT LITTLE I CAN PROVIDE. IF YOU COULD PASS ALONG ANY INFORMATION ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALL ASSISTANCE I CAN RECEIVE, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU *TR

Summary

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS PRESENT AND THE "SERVICE VEHICLE SOON" LIGHT WAS LIT. USING THE ON-STAR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE, THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDICATED A FUEL SYSTEM LEAK OR LOOSE GAS CAP. HOWEVER, UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE, WHICH IS PART OF THE FUEL TANK, WAS FRACTURED AND LEAKING FUEL. IN CHECKING WITH GMC, THERE WAS AN EXISTING NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE07014 CONCERNING THIS DEFECT FOR MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE. A GMC SPECIAL COVERAGE POLICY EXTENSION (07099A) WAS ALSO IN EFFECT SINCE 2007 FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES TO EFFECTIVELY REPAIR THIS KNOWN FUEL TANK DEFECT. THIS REPAIR INVOLVES A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. HOWEVER, GMC REFUSED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND COVER THE COST OF REPAIR BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE LISTED RANGE. IN TRYING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE IT WAS FOUND THAT THESE FUEL TANKS ARE ON BACKORDER FROM GM AS I SUSPECT MANY GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE NOW BECOMING AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS DEFECT AND WERE NOT INFORMED AT THE INITIAL RECALL BECAUSE LIKE MY VEHICLE, THEY WERE NOT ON THE VIN NUMBER COVERAGE LIST. OBVIOUSLY THE GM VIN NUMBER RANGE FOR THIS DEFECT IS INCORRECT AND SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL KNOWN 2002-2004 ENVOY, ENVOY XL AND ENVOY XUV MODEL VEHICLES. THE COST OF REPAIR WAS OVER $1400. GMC IS THE ONLY SOURCE FOR THIS FUEL TANK AS THERE ARE NO OTHER OEM VENDORS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT OF WHICH I BELIEVE MANY GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE NOT AWARE OF AND CAN LEAD TO EXPLOSION AND SERIOUS INJURY IF LEFT UNDETECTED. GMC NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THE VIN NUMBER RANGES AND NOTIFY ALL MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OWNERS IMMEDIATELY TO CHECK FOR FUEL TANK LEAKAGE AND IF NECESSARY, COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR. I HAVE SAVED THE FUEL TANK AND REPAIR RECEIPTS AND CAN SUPPLY PICTURES OF THE DEFECT IF REQUIRED/REQUESTED.

Summary

FIRST NOTICED REDUCED RADIO VOLUME AS IF SPEAKERS WERE NOT COMPLETELY CONNECTED. THEY RADIO WOULD WORK CORRECTLY FROM TIME TO TIME. SERVICE DEPT SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE DASH SYSTEM. THEN NOTICED REAR DOOR/TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN AS A DOOR, NEXT THE TAILGATE STOPPED FUNCTIONING ALL TOGETHER; THIS MAKES THE REAR PART OF THE XUV USELESS AND DANGEROUS. DEALER STATED THAT IS ELECTRONIC AND THAT ALL TAILGATE/REAR DOOR HINGES RUSTED DUE TO WATER COMING IN WHERE REAR WINDOW IS/ ESTIMATE IS OVER $650.00 AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN!!! NEXT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK EXCEPT BY MANUAL UNLOCKING FROM INSIDE AND SOMETIME THE KEY WILL NOT UNLOCK TO DRIVER'S DOOR. KEY FOB WILL NOT WORK ON DRIVER'S DOOR, TAILGATE/REAR DOOR; HOWEVER, KEY FOB WORKS ON PASSENGER DOORS. DEALER STATED THAT THE TAILGATE/REAR DOOR ISSUE HAS A HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING SO WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL???? WHEN WILL GMC MAKE THIS RIGHT??? *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE MARCH OF 2014 FROM SUNSET MOTORS IN COEUR D ALENE, ID. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR DIED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACED; WHICH THEY REPLACED. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AND FILLED MY GAS TANK WHEN I BEGAN TO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE GAS LEAKING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE NECK OF THE GAS TANK WAS CRACKED AND THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. I LEFT WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER SUNSET MOTORS STATED THE REPAIR WAS DONE ON THE GAS TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE CODE WAS READING P0455 LARGE EVAP LEAK. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE GAS CAP AS RECOMMENDED BY AUTOZONE WHERE I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE CODE READ. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON OVER THE COURSE OF MONTHS. I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO AAMCO AFTER MY VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING WHILE IN IDLE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CRACK IN THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK WAS STILL APPARENT AND FUEL TANK NEEDED REPLACED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND GM HAD OFFERED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY WHEN RESEARCH INTO SAFETY WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY WHICH WAS ACCEPTED AND NO RECALL WAS DONE. GM HAS STATED THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I FEEL THAT THE LEAK IN THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AS THERE IS NO KNOWN REASON FOR A CRACK TO HAPPEN IN THE FUEL TANK. LIKE I SAID PREVIOUSLY I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND FEAR THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE WITH MYSELF AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL I AM ABLE TO AFFORD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED IN TO AND THE SAFETY AROUND THE DEFECT. *TR

THE RPM (TAC) FAILED AND STARTED JUMPING ALL OVER. ON 09-14-14 THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO FAIL. DID NOT FIX THE RPM (TAC) AT THE TIME. THIS APPARENTLY IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE YEARS IN THE GMC PRODUCT. IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE - YES!!! ONE NOW CANNOT TELL ONES SPEED WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR A CITATION TO THE DRIVER BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. TO FIX THIS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL BE IN THE $600.00 RANGE. I BELIEVE GMC WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST YEARS AND IGNORED IT - CAUSING OWNERS AN UNDUE EXPENSE ON A VEHICLE THAT THEY PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR.

WE BOUGHT NEW A 2004 GMC XUV. FROM THE BEGINNING WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN PARKED THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON IF YOU DO NOT WIGGLE THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN A FEW DAYS YOU COME BACK THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WE KEEP A BATTERY JUMPER IN THE CAR SINCE NEW SO WE ARE NOT LEFT STRANDED. THE REAR AND MIDDLE WINDOW HAVE FAILED FOUR TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CANNOT OPEN THE BACK GATE OR OPEN THE ROOF WHICH I FEEL IS DANGEROUS. YOU CANNOT GET IN OR OUT FOR THERE IS NO RELEASE. FIXED FOUR TIMES AND THE WINDOW WENT DOWN AGAIN AT 74,000 MILES AND GATE IS LOCK AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER AND PRIVATE MECHANICS BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WE NOW HAVE A SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE. GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON THEN GO OFF ERRATICALLY. AT THE SAME TIME OUR AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS ONLY ON OUR FEET. THE MECHANICS SAY THE ENTIRE CONTROL PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FIVE MONTHS LATER THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS AGAIN. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE OUR LAST GM CAR. *TR

MY GARAGE IS ATTACHED TO MY HOUSE, LET THE DOG OUT AND THE DOG EVEN SNEEZED!.... BEING A WEEKEND AND MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION I DROVE THE CAR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. MONDAY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SHOP AND THE TECH NOTICED THE STRONG ODOR , LATER THE TECHNICIAN CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT THE LINES TO FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE LEAKING BUT ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOBILE!!!!!. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A FIRE HAZARD AND I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. NOW WHAT! I HAD TO GET THIS FIXED AS I NEED THE VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK. THE ADDITIONAL COST WAS $960 NOT TO MENTION THE EXTENSION I HAD TO PAY THE DMV TO EXTEND MY RENEWAL REGISTRATION. HAD THE VEHICLE BACK A WEEK NOW, NO MORE GAS SMELL BUT LORD AND BEHOLD THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" JUST POPPED UP AGAIN! THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 103K AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF..THE MECHANIC SAYS THE CODE IS STILL READING "FUEL EVAP LEAK" . SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP.!!!!!!! IT SEEMS AS THO I AM NOT THE ONLY ENVOY OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!!!! I LOVED THIS VEHICLE BUT TOTALLY DISGUSTED AND DISAPPOINTED IN GMC. *TR

Summary

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER OF THE SUV BEGAN TO INDICATE INCORRECT READINGS. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS FINE UNTIL WE GO ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAVEL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET BETWEEN 65-70. THEN THEY WILL READ THE INCORRECT SPEED FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN START WORKING FINE AGAIN. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE JUST "HANGS." I TALKED TO 2 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS WHO ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ENVOY'S AND TRAILBLAZERS. THE COST TO DO THIS IS OVER $500 OR MORE. IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER 2004 GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER. WHEN I TALKED TO THE REPAIR SHOPS THEY SAID BEFORE THEY CAN CORRECT THE ISSUE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS TO SEE IT HAPPEN. EACH TIME I HAD AN APPT SET IT WOULD START WORKING BEFORE THE APPT DATE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. VERY IRRITATED THAT GMC DOESN'T ADDRESS THIS NOW. *TR

TO ME THAT IS NOT OK. AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR MY VEHICLE IT SHOULD NOT DO THIS.

Summary

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH MY SPEEDOMETER NOT SHOWING THE CORRECT SPEED FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IT HAS NOW REACHED A POINT TO WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ONE AND THE TACH ONLY WORKS ONCE IN A WHILE. I ACTUALLY KNOW THREE PEOPLE WITHIN THE MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE RANGING FROM A 2003 TO A 2005 THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR INSTRUMENT PANELS. OF COURSE, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE BUT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPLACE THE IP (ALMOST $700) TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THE ISSUE. I ALSO KNOW OF A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WEBSITES WHERE YOU CAN SEND THE PANEL OFF AND THEY WILL REPLACE ALL OF THE BULBS AND MOTORS FOR LESS $100. IT IS A SHAME THAT GM WOULD CHARGE OVER 7 TIMES THAT AMOUNT FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS THIS WIDE SPREAD. I HAVE DRIVEN GM MODEL CARS FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND THE ENGINES SEEM TO BE GOOD BUT THE INTERIOR ISSUES ARE AT A POINT THAT I AM TIRED OF DEALING WITH THEM. I GUESS THAT IT IS TIME TO LOOK TO TAKE ME BUSINESS TO A DIFFERENT CAR MANUFACTURER AND THAT IS A SHAME. *TR

Summary

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ON MY GMC ENVOY 2004 IS DEFECTIVE AS IT IS ON A MULTITUDE OF OTHER GM MODELS BETWEEN 2003 AND 2005. ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK OR WILL REPORT A FAULTY READING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AND FOR SOME REASON GM HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM FOR GMC ENVOYS OF THE YEAR 2004 EVEN THOUGH OTHER YEARS OF THIS MODEL AND OTHER MODELS OF GM VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE HELP GM DO THE RIGHT THING BY IT'S ENVOY OWNERS. WE HAVE CERTAINLY BAILED THEM OUT ENOUGH. THERE IS ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCE OF THIS ISSUE. IF ONE WERE TO BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 60MPH USING CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SPEEDOMETER WERE TO ALL OF A SUDDEN PEG ITSELF TO 20MPH, THERE WOULD BE A SUDDEN AND ABRUPT ACCELERATION AS THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN 60MPH EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY AT THAT SPEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS DANGEROUS SPEED CONTROL ISSUE.. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON DURING THE SUMMER OF 2013 AND DIAGNOSTICS WERE COMPLETED STATING THAT THERE WAS A PRESSURE ISSUE, THEN LATER IN THE FALL, NOTICED FUEL SMELL AT TIME OF FUELING. TOOK CAR TO SHOP TO GET CHECKED, SHOP OWNER FOUND RECALL FOR INJURIES DEMONSTRATED IN MY FUEL SYSTEM. MOVED CAR TO GMC DEALER FOR OFFICIAL DIAGNOSTICS, THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY A 2003, SINCE IT WAS SOLD IN DEC OF THAT YEAR AND WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE. I THEN FOUND A RECALL NOTICE PUBLISHED IN 2007 THAT INCLUDED 2002 AND 2003 VEHICLES WITH THE INITIAL RECALL. GMC TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO COVER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL(THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN IN A SATISFACTORY WAY HOW THIS AFFECTED ME AS A CONSUMER). THE NHTSA ACTION # IS PE07014. AT THE TIME OF THE SYMPTOMS, MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 130,000 MILES ON IT (AS IT HAS JUST 130 K ON IT NOW) AND WAS JUST UNDER 10 YEARS OLD. *TR

I HAVE HAD AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE FOR WEEKS AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTO STORE AND HAD THEM PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER THE CODE READ SMALL EVAP LEAK SO I BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THAT DIDN'T WORK SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR IT TO BE CHECKED OUT AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. ON THE FIRST VISIT HE SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND CODES READ PO 442 & 445 ? SMALL/LARGE EMISSION LEAK, HE CHECKED ALL COMPONENTS AND COULD FIND NOTHING. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AS THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE WAS GETTING WORSE AND THE GAS SMELL WAS STILL PRESENT THE SAME CODE CAME UP FOR THE EMISSION/EVAP LEAK AND STILL NOTHING FOR THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE. HE THEN DID A SMOKE TEST AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FILLER NECK OF THE PLASTIC GAS TANK THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND MUST BE REPLACED. HE REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER SENDER WHICH STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND BOTH OF THESE ISSUES TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH OTHER ENVOY OWNERS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE PARTS AND WHY GMC IS LEAVING THE COST OF REPAIRS UP TO THE OWNERS. THESE ARE MANUFACTURE??S DEFECTS. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPUTABLE COMPANY. I HAVE CALLED INTO GMC SUPPORT AND THEY AS WELL AS STAFF AT A GMC DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS WAS STATED IN A RECALL BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED SO NO FINANCIAL HELP WAS GIVEN. $1,215.29 LATER I HAVE A NEW GAS TANK AND MY SPEEDOMETER STILL DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS... TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR PRODUCT MALFUNCTIONS!!! HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES THERE NEED TO BE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED ON THESE VEHICLE ISSUES? *TR

SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD, NO BUMPS, AND REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERED. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S ENVOYS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEBODY SHOT OUT MY WINDOW BECAUSE WHO HAS EVER HEARD OF A WINDOW JUST EXPLODING FOR NO REASON. WELL, APPARENTLY GMC FOUND A WAY TO MAKE WINDOWS, "JUST EXPLODE", AND THEN WEASELS THEIR WAY OUT OF PAYING TO FIX THIS EMBARRASSMENT OF AMERICAN ENGINEERING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ GMC HAS REFUSED ALL CASES COMPENSATION FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO I CAME HERE TO VOICE MY FRUSTRATION BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $795 TO FIX MY TRUCK. I AM WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. MY 1999 VW JETTA WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE THE GROUND EFFECT TRIM WOULD GET CAUGHT ON PARKING BLOCKS AND CAUSE DAMAGE, BUT THIS WINDOW EXPLODING IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. SO I WILL CALL GMC ON JAN.2 WHEN OFFICES OPEN BACK UP, AND DEPENDING ON HOW THAT GOES I MIGHT CALL UP A BUDDY WHO PRACTICES LAW TO SEE WHAT THE CHANCES ARE FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT. *TR

NOW AS FOR LAST NIGHT MY LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING, I BOUGHT NEW BULBS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO IT IS BACK TO THE MECHANIC. OH AND I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT GOES ON AND OFF. THEY REALLY NEED TO GET ON ALL OF THESE THINGS. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE CAR WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

MY CAR OVERHEATED ON A NORMAL DAY, ABOUT 80 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I CHECKED AND REPLACED A DEFECTIVE THERMOSTAT, AND STARTED THE ENGINE ONLY TO FIND IT MISFIRING BADLY FOR THE FIRST TIME. I GAINED ADVISE FROM A LOCAL AUTO STORE AND CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OLD ONES, I FOUND THREE OF THE SIX COVERED IN OIL. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD AND REPLACE THE TUBE SEALS BUT THE PLASTIC MANIFOLD COVER WOULD NOT COME OFF AS INDICATED IN A GM MECHANICS MANUAL. THIS IS THE LAST OF SEVERAL PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THE 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV 2WD INLINE 6. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE OILY SPARK PLUG ISSUE AND CRACKED MANIFOLD BUT NO TSBS. LAST YEAR, I HAD MY A/C COMPRESSOR GO OUT AND REPLACED, MY GAS TANK LEAK AND REPLACED UNDER A 'SPECIAL WARRANTY', A DIAGNOSIS THAT MY HEATER CORE IS BAD, ALL THREE MOTOR MOUNTS GO OUT AND REPLACED, AND A NUMBER OF VARIOUS SMALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS GO OUT. I NEED GMC TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES OUTSTANDING WITH MY VEHICLE AND EXPECT APPROPRIATE ACTION FROM THEM. I SPENT WELL OVER $40000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND ITS NOT EVEN 10 YEARS OLD YET. GM HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN FOR LONG LIFE OF THEIR ENGINES AND BODY FRAMES, AND HAVE SAID SO ON THEIR BEHALF. THEY NEED TO LIVE UP TO THE REPUTATION I HAVE SO LOYALLY PAINTED FOR THEM. *TR

Summary

LONG TERM PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT GREW MUCH WORSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 88K MILES ON IT. BACK IN 2010 THE TACHOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AT IDLE, IT WAS READING 5000-6000 RPM. KEPT WATCHING THE TACH OVER MONTHS AND IT WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE UNTIL THE NEEDLE FINALLY RESTED AT THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION. WASN'T A BIG DEAL. EARLY THIS YEAR (2013), OTHER GAUGES STARTED READING IMPROPERLY. ONE BY ONE THE OIL PRESSURE, SPEEDOMETER, AND FUEL GAUGE ALL WENT HAYWIRE, SHOWING READINGS OUTSIDE OF THEIR RANGE. THE ONLY TWO FUNCTIONAL GAUGES LEFT WERE VOLTAGE AND COOLANT TEMPERATURE WHEN I HAD THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED BACK IN MARCH THE CLUSTER IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE'S A THREAD AT EDMUNDS.COM WITH OVER 500 POSTS RELATED TO IT: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX?14@@.F17BA01/0 DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING ALL THE GAUGES CLOSELY, BUT I'D HATE TO SEE SOMEONE RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. *TR

UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DETECTED. I CONTINUE TO BE AFRAID THAT MAYBE MY CAN IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE OR EXPLODE AT ANY TIME. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF GMC ENVOYS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME OF THE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THIS ISSUE REACHES FAR BEYOND THOSE MODELS.

THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ABOUT THIS YET NO RECALLS. HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION. *TR

Summary

DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMING ON I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP. IT WAS STATED IF THE CAP IS NOT ON PROPERLY IT AFFECTS THE EMISSION CONTROLS. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP SEVERAL TIMES NOTHING HAS CHANGED ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN ACCURATE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS MATTER. VEHICLE HAS FAULTY / LEAKING AIR BAGS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION. UPON RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON GMC VEHICLES FROM 1994 ~ 2006. WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS? GMC ENVOY VEHICLE ARE SITTING VERY LOW DURING FREEZING TEMPERATURES. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE IT WILL RAISE BACK UP AND LEVEL ITSELF BUT IT SHOULD NOT DROP DOWN LOW PERIOD. WEBSITES ARE FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC REGARDING ALL THESE ISSUES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS REGARDING THESE MATTERS WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I HAVE VIEWED SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL WEBSITES REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES. EXTERIOR LIGHTS~ LAMPS HAVE FAULTY SOCKETS DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING INSIDE THE LAMPS / BACK UP LAMPS. BULBS BURNING OUT CONTINUOUSLY. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO A FREQUENT DEALER, MANY TIMES THEY'LL STEP OUTSIDE TO CHECK YOUR VEHICLE QUICKLY WITHOUT PUTTING YOU IN THE SYSTEM IF THEY FEEL NO SERVICE IS REQUIRED. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE WHY THESE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED/ REPORTED / OR RECORDED. IT IS APPARENT THERE ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH REPEAT MANUFACTURER DEFECTS/HAZARDS YEAR AFTER YEAR. IT IS NOT FAIR TO US (THE CUSTOMER). THEY CAN CONTINUALLY CONTACT YOU TO TRADE IN YOUR VEHICLE OR BUY IT, BUT THEY CAN'T CONTACT YOU REGARDING DEFECTS ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THEY ONLY NOTIFY THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF RECALLS. AGAIN THEY'LL CONTACT YOU REGARDING MARKETING AND ADVERTISING. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

LAST EVENING OUR FAMILY LOADED INTO THE ENVOY AND MY SON OPENED THE HATCH HALFWAY AND REALIZED HE FORGOT SOMETHING AND RAN TO GET IT. THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING YET. WE HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" AND GLASS SHATTERING AND HOPPED OUT. THERE WAS GLASS ALL OVER OUR DRIVEWAY AND EVEN PIECES UP TO SEVERAL YARDS AWAY. THE GLASS ON THE HATCH HAD EXPLODED. IT WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND WE WERE SO RELIEVED THAT MY SON HAD NOT BEEN STANDING RIGHT THERE AND THAT THE HATCH WAS PARTIALLY OPEN SO THE GLASS DIDN'T BLOW TOWARD MY REAR FACING INFANT, TODDLER AND 8 YEAR OLD SON ALREADY LOADED IN THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT MY CHILDREN DID LATER CUT THEMSELVES ON SHARDS OF GLASS THAT MADE IT OVER TO THE YARD. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS INCREDIBLY UPSETTING. EVEN OUR NEIGHBOR CAME TO HELP. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. OUR INSURANCE COVERS THE COST AFTER OUR $500 DEDUCTIBLE, HOWEVER, WE ARE AFRAID THE WINDOW WILL BLAST OUT AGAIN AND AFRAID ESPECIALLY FOR OUR REAR FACING INFANT AND SONS RIDING IN THE VERY BACK. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. *JS

THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE IN MY 2004 ENVOY DO NOT WORK. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HERE THE SPEEDOMETER IN MINE SOMETIMES READS OVER 100 MPH WHEN I MIGHT BE DOING 35MPH. MOST OF THE TIME IT JUST STAYS AT 0 SO I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING. THE GAS GAUGE JUST DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR AND FROM ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN GM SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE ANYWAY. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN BEFORE THE NTSB WILL GET BEHIND THE CAR OWNERS? ONE PERSON HERE SAID THAT GM ACTUALLY WON A LAWSUIT AND WAS COMPENSATED FOR THE FAULTY PARTS BUT DID NOT DO THE RECALL ON THE ENVOYS! *TR

Summary

A YEAR AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY NEW 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECH SAID I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP BECAUSE OF A SMALL VAPOR LEAK. I BOUGHT THE NEW CAP AND A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AGAIN I BOUGHT ANOTHER CAP. FROM THEN I HAD BEEN TOLD BY DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT THE VAPOR LEAK IS COMING FROM THE NOZZLE THE CAP ATTACHES TO BUT TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD I WOULD FAIL MY SMOG CHECK BECAUSE THE VAPOR LEAK ACCORDING TO THEIR DIAGNOSTICS WAS NOT COMING FROM THE NOZZLE, BUT SOMEWHERE ELSE NEAR THE TANK. AFTER RESEARCH ON RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS, I FOUND OUT THAT MY PROBLEM WAS SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS, THAT BEING THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN 05-06-04-014A: INFO - DIAGNOSTIC AIDS FOR TROUBLE CODES P0440, P0455 & / OR P0442 FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE CRACK, AND THAT THE 2002 - 2004 ENVOY MAY HAVE ISSUES WITH A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK AS WELL. I CHECKED OUT THE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM AND YEP MY FILLER TANK CONNECTION FROM HOSE TO TANK IS LOOSE AND SHOWING EVIDENCE OF GAS LEAKING DOWN THE TANK. IT WASN'T A SMALL VAPOR LEAK, IT IS A MUSHROOM CLOUD EVENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN TO MY BACKSIDE! THE INTERESTING PART OF THIS DISASTER IS THAT THEY DID THIS AS FAR BACK AS I COULD SEARCH, SO FAR AS EARLY AS 2001. GM HAD ADVISED THEIR MECHANICS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED AND REDESIGN OF THE SYSTEM WAS IN PLACE WITH WELDED UNITS ATTACHING THE COMPONENTS, RATHER THAN RUBBER BOOTING TO PLASTIC TANKS. I HAVE THE INTERNAL MEMO OF THEIR DECLARATIONS FOR THREE YEARS SO FAR. TODAY, I'M IN POSSESSION OF A LOADED BOMB AND SEE THAT TSB'S ARE ISSUED FOR YEARS THROUGH 2009. PLUS THERES A DISCREPANCY WITH SERVICE WARRANTIES OF 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES VS 150,000, I HAVE THOSE INTERNAL DOCUMENTS FROM GM TO THE DEALERS AS WELL. I CANT AFFORD THIS. OTHER ENVOY OWNERS I'VE TALKED TO ARE SAYING THE SAME THINGS EXACTLY. *TR

STARTING SHORTLY AFTER ENVOY WAS BOUGHT I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW QUARTER TANK ONE, THEN AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND STARTING AGAIN IT WAS OUT OF FUEL AND THE LIGHT WAS ON. IN JULY 2011 THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WENT HIGH AND IT IS NOW PEGGED AND DOESN'T RESET. I ASKED DEALER ABOUT IT AND THERE WAS AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE JUST TO DIAGNOSE. JAN 2012 AND NOW SPEEDOMETER GAUGE DOES NOT RESET, IT IS STUCK AT 30 MPH AND GOES UP TO 85-90 WHEN DRIVING. AFTER RESEARCHING TODAY I SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, I NEVER RECEIVED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LETTER FROM GM, BECAUSE ENVOY WASN'T INCLUDED, BUT IT IS THE SAME ISSUES AS OTHER VEHICLE ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. PLEASE HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE DEFECTS. *TR

THE DEALER WANTED TO CHANGE MY SPEEDOMETER FIRST TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX BOTH PROBLEMS (OVER $600.00 IN COST) AND IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE A MODULE IN THE FUEL TANK (ANOTHER $600.00 IN COST). MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET INDICATES THIS IS A FAULTY PART AND NEEDS TO BE RECALL. I'VE READ DIFFERENT MAKES OF GMC AND MILEAGE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN OR ELECTRICAL GHOST OF SOME SORTS. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER 4 TIME WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THAT WAS THE DEALERS CURE. THEN WHEN I PURCHASED IT I REPLACED THE BATTERY.THEN IT WAS REPLACED FOR THE 6TH TIME 18 MONTHS LATER. THE REAR WINDOW ON THE TAIL GATE KEPT GOING DOWN ON IT'S OWN UNTIL THE MOTOR FLEW APART. THE WINDOW BEHIND THE REAR SEAT WENT DOWN ON IT'S OWN AND DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE RETRACTABLE BACK ROOF WILL NOT ENGAGE DUE TO THE REAR WINDOW. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE AC WILL COME ON BY ITSELF ALSO THE RADIO, THE SEAT HEATERS. NOW WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT ON THEIR OWN, LUCKILY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS STILL WORK, BUT THAT'S NOT HELPING THE POOR SOUL IN FRONT OF ME. GM SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY OF THIS BUT I'M ALMOST TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OR LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR ANYTIME FOR THAT MATTER.

Summary

THE PROBLEM FROM WHAT I CAN TELL FROM RESEARCHING IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND I HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS ON THE NET THAT PEOPLE ARE STATING THE SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING. THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ANYWHERE FROM 0-120 MPH AND THOUGH I HAVE NOTICED THAT NO FIRES OR DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED IS THIS WHAT THE NHTSA WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO DIE FROM THIS HAPPENING? ALSO, THE TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, AND VOLTAGE INDICATOR HAVE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES AS WELL. THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING (IE M.P.H.). I AM BEING TOLD THIS WILL BE A $450 FIX WHEN IN FACT WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS I AM READING ARE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES IT SEEMS THAT GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES. IS IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS SO MUCH INVESTED IN GMC THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEING RESOLVED? HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE THE NHTSA WILL REACT? DO I NEED TO START POSTING TO ALL THE FORUMS I ENCOUNTER AND GET PEOPLE TO SIGN UP? IF I AM THE 55TH PERSON WITH JUST THE '04 GMC ENVOY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE THEN ALL THE OTHER YEARS AND MODELS OF GM AND CHEVY FROM '02 THROUGH AT LEAST '06 MUST FILING COMPLAINTS, TOO. IN TOTAL THERE MUST BE ENOUGH TO AT LEAST LOOK INTO THE MATTER SO WHY ARE YOU STALLING? A PERSON NOT KNOWING HOW FAST THEY ARE DRIVING MUST BE A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY THROUGH SCHOOL ZONES AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS WOULD YOU NOT AGREE? FOR US THE ISSUE STARTED ABOUT A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE BY THE WEEK. WE MAY GO A DAY WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT THEN IT STARTS HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN; IT USE TO BE THAT IS WOULD START ONLY ON THE FREEWAY BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVEN AROUND TOWN. I WILL WAIT FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE NHTSA BEFORE GETTING THIS REPAIRED, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BY NOW BEING THAT I HAVE BEEN SEEING INFO ON THE NET ABOUT IT FOR SOME TIME NOW, BUT I FIGURE I NEED TO GET INVOLVED BEFORE ANYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 TRAILBLAZER THAT THE DASH COMPONENTS (SPEED, GAS, ECT....) HASN'T WORKED SINCE 2008. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. I ALSO HAVE LATCH PROBLEMS. I HAD A REAR DOOR STOP LATCHING...I USED A BUNJY CORD TO HOLD IT SHUT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO A JUNK YARD FOR A 35 DOLLAR NEW LATCH. I AM A SINGLE MOM TRYING TO MAKE MY TRUCK LAST. IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE HAD A FUEL PUMP GO, MY LATCH, MY TAILGATE WON'T OPEN AND MY SUNROOF DOESN'T OPEN ANY MORE AND MY TRUCK IS RUSTING HORRIBLY? I ALSO HAD A COOLING ISSUE WITH EMISSIONS. IT WASN'T READING THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE CORRECTLY. I HAVE SPENT NEAR TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR ODD THINGS. P.S. I PUT THE DOOR LATCH IN MY SELF TO SAVE MONEY. I HAVE TWO KIDS TO PROTECT. *TR

Summary

THE TEMP GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING IN THE CORRECT TEMP RANGE. THE TEMP NEEDLE IS EITHER IN THE OVERHEATING POSITION (RED AREA) OR TOTALLY PAST THE MAX TEMP ON THE GAUGE, ALMOST SPINNING LIKE A COMPASS. BECAUSE OF THIS FALSE READING I PULLED MY VEHICLE OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE, THINKING THE ENGINE NEEDED TO COOL DOWN. THIS WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GMC REFUSES TO REPLACE OR FIX THE GAUGE IF VEHICLE MILEAGE IS OVER 70,000. GAUGES , OIL,WATER TEMP, ETC, ARE IN VEHICLES TO ASSIST THE DRIVER WITH THEIR DRIVING AND FOR SAFETY REASONS AND SHOULD LAST A LOT MORE THAN 6 YEARS. PULLING OVER ON A HIGHWAY SHOULD ONLY BE DONE FOR AN EMERGENCY, NOT BECAUSE OF A FALSE READING, AND MAY IN THE FUTURE, IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2004 ENVOY XUV. SINCE LAST YEAR WINTER, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AND RUN ERRATICALLY, WHICH I THOUGHT AT THE TIME WAS DUE TO THE COLD. OCCASIONALLY TOO, WE'D COME TO THE GARAGE TO FIND THE REAR WINDOW OPEN AND THE TAILGATE UNABLE TO OPEN. DURING THOSE TIMES, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE WINDOW BACK UP WITH THE BUTTON INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS UNLOCK THE TAILGATE BY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE. ALSO, THE TRUCK WOULD STALL DURING DRIVING, FOR NO REASON BUT WOULD START AGAIN (BIG SAFETY ISSUE!!! I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE WELL). SINCE THEN, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS ALSO CONTINUOUSLY GONE HAYWIRE, WITH THE SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATICALLY AS WELL AS THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THE MID WINDOW NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND MY TAILGATE WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. I HAVE HAD IT SWING OPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC (ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN!!!!! WHAT IF I HAVE SOMETHING BACK THERE AND IT FALLS OUT) THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS REGARDING ANY OF THESE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES THESE ARE PROBLEMS MOST GMC ENVOY XUV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, WITHOUT RECOURSE OF HAVING IT FIXED BY GM AT NO CHARGE. NOW, WE KNOW WHY THEY HAVE LOST THE MARKET SHARE TO JAPAN VEHICLES, BECAUSE OUR NEXT VEHICLE WILL NEVER BE A GM, UNLESS ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE RECALLED AND FIXED. WE'LL ALSO ENSURE TO MOUNT A LACK-OF-CONFIDENCE CAMPAIGN AGAINST GM VEHICLES WITH EVERYONE WE KNOW, IF NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT ASAP BY GM. *TR

Summary

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. ROUGHLY 10% OF THE TIME, THE GAUGE WILL STOP WORKING COMPLETELY. NOW, THE RPM GAUGE HAS ALSO BEGIN ACTING ERRATICALLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SUPPORT, AND THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER, WHO WILL CHARGE ME $79 SIMPLY TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM, FOLLOWED BY A LIKELY $600 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH OF "2004 GMC ENVOY XUV SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS" RETURNED 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF HITS, SO IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING INTO THE SITUATION WITH GM DEALERS THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SIERRA'S AND YUKONS WHICH HAVE THE SAME CLUSTER AS MY VEHICLE BUT GM REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THE DEFECT ON THE ENVOYS. PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED YET ON MY VEHICLE HOPING THAT GM WILL WAKE UP AND REALIZE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ENVOYS AND THAT IT REQUIRES ATTENTION. BELOW IS JUST ONE OF MANY LINKS WHICH HIGHLIGHT THE ISSUE MANY GMC OWNERS ARE FACING: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2004/GMC/ENVOY/DIGITAL+INSTRUMENT+PANEL. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND HAVE SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SEEM OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES. SINCE WE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE REAR WINDOW IS FOUND DOWN AND NOONE WAS EVEN IN/NEAR THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO WORK BUT STILL WILL GO DOWN BY ITSELF. A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION ON A RECALL OF SMELLING GAS FUMES WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLE CORROSION IN FUEL LINES. OF COURSE THE FUEL LINES WERE NOT CORRODED SO WE WERE TOLD. I FOOTED THE BILL $800+ TO GET A NEW FUEL TANK ,AS NECK ON TANK WAS CRACKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WHY WE SMELLED GAS. LUCKILY, I WENT TO MY GARAGE AND SAVED SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FROM THE DEALERS COST TO REPAIR. LAST WEEKEND 9/10/10 MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING TO TOWN AND THE MIDDLE WINDOW UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED AND NOW DOES NOT WORK. I RESEARCHED AN IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULATOR ISSUE AND WILL COST AROUND $500, WOW! OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS THERE IS A RATTLE WHEN WE TURN ON OUR AC. AGAIN AFTER WE WERE IN FOR SERVICE AS WE HAD THE AC CHARGED AT THE START OF SUMMER. I CAN SEE WHERE I HAVE THE SAME TROUBLES AS A LOT OF OTHERS AND FEEL, THE SAME AS THEY DO, LEFT HOLDING THE BAG BY GMC AND NO WAY OUT BUT, TO LOOK FOR A NEW/USED VEHICLE AND GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

IT NEVER DIES WHILE DRIVING, ONLY AT A STOP. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND, BECAUSE THERE IS NO "CODE" , THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. THE CAR ALSO HAS A GAS TANK THAT IS CRACKED AT THE NECK AND CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON ALL THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP ASSURES ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN NOR DOES THE GAS TANK CRACK HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE DYING. THERE IS NO GAS LEAK BUT AIR DOES GET INTO THE TANK CAUSING THE LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN CLEANED AND THE ENTIRE EMISSION SYSTEM HAS ALSO BEEN CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

IN DECEMBER 2009 MY 2004 ENVOY XL'S TACHOMETER WENT OFF LINE. IT STARTS AT ABOUT THE 3 O'CLOCK POSITION. THEN A MONTH LATER THE ODOMETER STUCK AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR EVEN THOUGH I WAS STOPPED OR OBVIOUSLY DOING OVER 40. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED IT CORRECTED ITSELF BUT WAS ERRATIC AND WOULD TICK ITS WAY UP TO ABOUT 40-50MPH THEN WOULD STOP GOING UP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MANY 2004 ENVOYS. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT AT A COST OF AROUND $500.00 THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHEN REDUCING SPEED TO ACCOMMODATE A CURVE THAT RECOMMENDS A REDUCED SPEED I CAN NOT TELL WHAT MY ACTUAL SPEED IS TO SAFELY MAKE THE CURVE. SPEED LIMITS ARE POSTED FOR SAFETY REASONS AND IF WE CANT TELL HOW FAST WE ARE GOING DO TO A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANELS IT PUTS PEOPLE IN DANGER. DEALERS AND GMC SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND HAVE NOT YET RECALLED THE VEHICLES TO CORRECT THE SAFETY PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION THAT $500.00 IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR MOST PEOPLE TO HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE FIXING. *TR

THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON THE LEFT HALF OF THE A/C CONTROLLER DOES NOT WORK.THE MOTOR IN THE REAR WINDOW WENT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $ 1000 TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND THEN THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE MIDDLE WINDOW MOTOR WAS BAD AND THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $600 TO REPAIR.

Summary

WE HAVE A 2004, GMC ENVOY XUV, WHICH WE PURCHASE BRAND NEW IN 2004. SINCE LAST YEAR WINTER, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AND RUN ERRATICALLY, WHICH I THOUGHT AT THE TIME WAS DUE TO THE COLD. OCCASIONALLY TOO, WE'D COME TO THE GARAGE TO FIND THE REAR WINDOW OPEN AND THE TAILGATE UNABLE TO OPEN. DURING THOSE TIMES, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE WINDOW BACK UP WITH THE BUTTON INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS UNLOCK THE TAILGATE BY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE. ALSO, THE TRUCK WOULD STALL DURING DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT TURNS, BUT WOULD START AGAIN. JUST LAST WEEK, MY WIFE WAS JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE HOME LAST WEEK, WHEN SHE NOTICED THE REAR TAILGATE WINDOW HAD GONE DOWN BY ITSELF AS USUAL; FOLLOWING WHICH ALL ELECTRONIC EFFORTS TO BRING IT UP FAILED, AND THE TAILGATE OR ROOF WOULDN'T OPEN AS WELL. THEN, WE HEARD SOME HUMMING INSIDE THE TAILGATE. MY WIFE LEFT HOME ONLY TO HAVE THE TRUCK'S BATTERY FAIL AT THE LOCAL MALL. SINCE THEN, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS ALSO CONTINUOUSLY GONE HAYWIRE, WITH THE SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATICALLY AS WELL AS THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS REGARDING ANY OF THESE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES THESE ARE PROBLEMS MOST GMC ENVOY XUV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, WITHOUT RECOURSE OF HAVING IT FIXED BY GM AT NO CHARGE. NOW, WE KNOW WHY THEY HAVE LOST THE MARKET SHARE TO JAPAN VEHICLES, BECAUSE OUR NEXT VEHICLE WILL NEVER BE A GM, UNLESS ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE RECALLED AND FIXED. WE'LL ALSO ENSURE TO MOUNT A LACK-OF-CONFIDENCE CAMPAIGN AGAINST GM VEHICLES WITH EVERYONE WE KNOW, IF NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT ASAP BY GM. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ON MY GMC ENVOY 2004 IS DEFECTIVE AS IT IS ON A MULTITUDE OF OTHER GM MODELS BETWEEN 2003 AND 2005. ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK OR WILL REPORT A FAULTY READING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AND FOR SOME REASON GM HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS IPC PROBLEM FOR GMC ENVOYS OF THE YEAR 2004 EVEN THOUGH OTHER YEARS OF THIS MODEL AND OTHER MODELS OF GM VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE HELP GM DO THE RIGHT THING BY IT'S ENVOY OWNERS. WE HAVE CERTAINLY BAILED THEM OUT ENOUGH. THERE IS ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCE OF THIS ISSUE. IF ONE WERE TO BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 60MPH USING CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SPEEDOMETER WERE TO ALL OF A SUDDEN PEG ITSELF TO 20MPH, THERE WOULD BE A SUDDEN AND ABRUPT ACCELERATION AS THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN 60MPH EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY AT THAT SPEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS DANGEROUS SPEED CONTROL ISSUE. MATT DYE *TR

Summary

MY CAR'S SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO GIVE ME THE WRONG SPEED AND EVENTUALLY JUST QUIT AND IS NOW STUCK ON 0. A LITTLE WHILE AFTER, THE RADIATOR GAUGE DOES NOT WORK EITHER. IT SEEMS THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS SLOWING GOING OUT. WE HAVEN'T FIXED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER YET BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TALK WITH THE DEALER AND GMC ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT BECAUSE WE WERE JUST ONE PERSON. *TR

Summary

MY VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS ON A REGULAR BASIS AFTER CHECKING INTO THE SITUATION WITH GM DEALERS THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SIERRA'S AND YUKONS WHICH HAVE THE SAME CLUSTER AS MY VEHICLE BUT GM REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THE DEFECT ON THE ENVOYS. PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED YET ON MY VEHICLE HOPING THAT GM WILL WAKE UP AND REALIZE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ENVOYS AND THAT IT REQUIRES ATTENTION. THE ISSUE OCCURS ON A REGULAR BASIS NORMALLY SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH, AFTER A FEW DAYS THE CLUSTER WILL RESET AND WORK AS NORMAL BUT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH. WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS I HAVE TO USE MY GPS NAVIGATOR TO TELL WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING. THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT IS APPROX. $650.00. *TR

AROUND $100 TO GET THE RESONATOR REMOVED, HAVE NOT QUOTED A NEW ONE FROM THE DEALER YET. I WOULD IMAGINE THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL FAIL JUST AS THE ORIGINAL PART HAS DONE. *TR

Summary

ONE MORNING, I HAD A FLAT TIRE, THE TIRE WAS TAKEN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND TAKEN TO SEARS AUTO CENTER. VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED NO PUNCTURES OR REASON FOR THE FLAT. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED THE VALVE STEM HAD A LARGE CRACK CLOSE TO THE TIRE ITSELF. NEEDED TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEM. BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME, AND LEFT IN GARAGE FOR THE WEEKEND, WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GARAGE ON MONDAY MORNING, THOUGHT THE STEERING WAS NOT AS USUAL. STOPPED THE VEHICLE, AND SAW ANOTHER TIRE WAS GOING FLAT. THEN CHECKED THE OTHER THREE TIRES, AND SAW ALL THREE VALVE STEMS HAD CRACKS IN THEM. VEHICLE TAKEN TO FIRESTONE AUTO CARE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE VALVE STEMS. THE TIRES HAD BEEN REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER, 2007. ALTHOUGH THE REPAIR SHOPS DID NOT SAY WHY VALVE STEMS WOULD HAVE FAILED IN SUCH A SHORT TIME OF EACH OTHER, I WONDER IF THIS MAY BE PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL DONE FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM DILL AIR CONTROLS. ALTHOUGH THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED AFTER THE DATE INDICATED COULD THERE STILL BE DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS WHICH WERE STILL BEING USED ON TIRES? SEARS ONLY SAID THE VALVE STEM WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BAD ON AND THE DEALER WANT $900.00 TO REPAIR. ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF GMC SUV'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I, AS WELL, HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH GM FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2004 ENVOY. THE CAR HAD 48K MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, BUT IT HAD 56K WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS REQUIRED THAT I HAVE THE PROBLEM OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED, WHICH COST ME $85. I WAS ASSURED THAT I WOULD GET THAT AMOUNT CREDITED TOWARD THE FIX. SCHEDULED TO GET YET ANOTHER UPDATE CALL FROM GM TOMORROW. SHORTLY AFTER I PAID OUT THE $85 AND SENT THEM MY INFORMATION, I RECEIVED BOTH AN EMAIL AND A PHONE CALL SAYING "SORRY, WE CAN'T OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE". I CALLED THEM RIGHT BACK TO ESCALATE IT FURTHER. I'M PUSHING IT AS FAR AS I CAN. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS WITH THE ENVOYS YET, ALTHOUGH SHE ADMITTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT, AND BECAUSE OF THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM, THE CASES WOULD BE HANDLED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AT THIS POINT. WHAT MORE PROOF DO WE NEED? *TR

Summary

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY HAS DEVELOPED AN ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER. THE SPEEDOMETER REFLECTS INACCURATE SPEEDS CAUSING AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER WHO RESEARCHED TO FIND NO RECALL CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM I THEN SUBMITTED MY COMPLAINT TO THE BBB HOTLINE AND WAS REBUFFED THEIR ALSO. I HAVE CONSEQUENTLY DONE ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT GM HAS ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT BULLETIN FOR 2003-2004 CADILLAC ESCALADE, CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, SUBURBAN AND TAHOE, GMC SIERRA AND YUKONS. THE SPEEDOMETER UNIT IN THESE MODELS ARE VERY SIMILAR IN BOTH APPEARANCE AND ARE MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME SUPPLIER GM USES. THE ADJUST BULLETIN IS #07187 DATED SEPTEMBER 28,2007 AND COVERS THE CONDITION FOR A PERIOD OF 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES REGARDLESS OF OWNERSHIP. AFTER VISITING MANY GMC AND CHEVROLET CHAT ROOMS IT IS READILY APPARENT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON AND WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA FORMALLY INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED MY 2004 ENVOY XUV NEW. I LOVE IT, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I GUESS I'VE BEEN ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. THE BRAKES ARE FINE AND EVERYTHING ELSE SEEM TO BE OK SO FAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE 89,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE SPEEDO ACTING UP ARE GETTING MORE COMMON. I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME WAS LATE IN '07. THE SPEEDO JUST KEPT CLIMBING HIGHER AND HIGHER TILL IT WAS PINNED. AND STAYED THERE FOR A DAY OR TWO. IT WOULD READ 120 MPH PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THE DEALER JUST ROLLED THEIR EYES AND SAID THEY COULD ORDER ANOTHER DASH BOARD FOR AROUND $500.00, BUT I OPTED NOT TO FIX IT AT THAT TIME. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON THING WITH THE ENVOY, BUT GM HAS NO RECALLS ON IT. IT HAD SEEMED FINE FOR A WHILE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW TIMES IN '08. NOW IT'S ONLY MARCH OF '09 AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS. IT IS CLEARLY OUT OF WARRANTY BUT BEING A SAFETY ITEM SUCH AS A INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE A NATION WIDE ISSUE AND GM AND THE DOT / NHTSA DO NOT RECOGNIZE IT? I LIKE THE VEHICLE, I AM HAPPY WITH IT OTHERWISE. JUST DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED WITH THE NHTSA AND GM. *TR

PROBLEM STARTED OUT AS ERRATIC READING WITH SPEEDOMETER. AFTER APPROX. 5 DAYS SPEEDO FINALLY WOULDN'T REGISTER AT ALL TOOK VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED DEALER TO BE REPAIRED - $555.00 CHARGE TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND REPROGRAM. CALLED GM FOR FINANCIAL HELP AS I NOTICED THERE WERE ALOT OF FAILURES WITH GMC SUV'S AND PICK-UP TRUCKS. GM WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHICH I FEEL IS TOTALLY DISINGENUOUS. SPEEDOMETER IS NECESSARY TO BE WORKING AS A SAFETY ISSUE. BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF STATE AT THE TIME OF PART BREAKDOWN I FELT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE MY RETURN TRIP HOME (1250 MILES). JUDGING HOW MANY OTHER ENVOYS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM, I FEEL GM IS DODGING THEIR RESPONSIBILITY I NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN CLASS-ACTIONS AGAINST THEM FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING CORRECTLY, WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 120MPH AND I WAS IN TOWN IN A 35MPH ZONE. I HAD MY GPS DEVICE ON AND IT SHOWED THAT I WAS ACTUALLY GOING 35MPH. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT THE SPEEDOMETER STATED THAT I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 75 MPH, AND THAT WAS INCORRECT BECAUSE I WAS SITTING STILL AT THE LIGHT. ALSO, AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE IT STILL REGISTERED A RATE OF SPEED OF 75 MPH. THERE ARE SOME DAYS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT GOES CRAZY. ANOTHER EXAMPLE, IT SOMETIMES SHOWS THAT I AM GOING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 0 MPH AND I KNOW THAT I AM AT LEAST GOING 55 MPH. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. UPON CONTACTING THE GM SERVICE CENTER THEY STATED THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDING REPLACED, BUT IF THAT WOULD BE THE CASE THE OTHER GAUGES WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. SO FAR THE ONLY THING THAT IS MESSED UP IS THE SPEEDOMETER. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS THE SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $300.00 OR MORE AND THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH IN MY OPINION DOES NOT NEED REPLACED....ONLY THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDS REPLACED/REPAIRED. *TR

I BELIEVE THERE COULD BE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES., YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING, ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE NO CARS TRAVELING THE SAME DIRECTION AS YOU.

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

SO I STATED IF THIS IS AN OFTEN OCCURRENCE IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL BEING THAT THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR ALOT.

AS A CUSTOMER I FEEL THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING AT THE 35,000-45,000 MARK OF THESE VEHICLES THEN IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE GOOD ON THIS MALFUNCTION.

SMELL OF GAS INSIDE OF VEHICLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NOTICE OF GAS ON GARAGE FLOOR. TOOK VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AROUND THE NECK OF THE TANK WHERE THE REFILL HOSE CONNECTS. FOUND OUT THAT CHEVROLET AND GMC HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT # 07099A ON THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED ON THIS SCA BECAUSE OF THE VIN NUMBER. I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE ON RECALLS AND I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THE DEALER AGREED TO PAY 2/3'S OF THE BILL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY 1/3 OF IT. ON THE SCA SHEET IT LIST THE FOLLOWING FOR MY VEHICLE. THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF THE VIN STARTING WITH 46100001 TO 46116824. MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING SO BADLY THAT I CAN SMELL GAS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALSO I PARK MY VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE ALL THE TIME AND THIS IS DANGEROUS. I THINK THAT ALL OF THE 2002 TO 2004 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZERS AND GMC ENVOYS WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LEAKING GAS TANKS. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALER THAT THEY USE TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANKS. HE SAID THAT SINCE THEY HAVE CHANGED THE TANKS OUT ON THE COVERED VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE HAD NONE OF THE VEHICLES BACK IN WITH LEAKING GAS TANKS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. SOME PEOPLE WOULD NOT NOTICE THIS PROBLEM AND IF THEY HAVE AN ACCIDENT THIS COULD CAUSE MORE INJURIES AND POSSIBLE DEATHS. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE AN EXPLOSION AROUND SPARKS OR STATIC IN SOMEONE'S GARAGE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF EVERY COUPLE DAYS(HAVE VIDEO, BUT SANDY SANSING OF PENSACOLA FLORIDA SAYS THERE NOTHING WRONG) VEHICLE JERKS AT STOPS AND STARTS. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP W/ "NOTHING WRONG" THEY FINALLY DECIDED THAT A O2 SENSOR WAS BAD AT 71K. ENVOY HAD BEEN BACK IN THE SHOP AT A COST OF 80.00 BUCKS TWICE SINCE THEN BECAUSE OF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AND THE BRAKES ARE FAILING, THE "ABS BRAKE" LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON SO THEY SAY IT CANT BE THE BRAKES. WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND A SECOND LATER THEY WILL CATCH AND BEGIN TO STOP VEHICLE, AS IF THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS OBSTRUCTED AND SKIPS A FEW TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR THOSE FEW SECONDS BUT DOESN'T STAY ON LONG AND THEY SAY IT ISN'T THROWING ANY CODES. PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY SO THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID ITS A UNFOUNDED PROBLEM. THE THERMOSTATS ASSEMBLY WITH OTHER PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND DATES THAT I'VE TAKEN THIS POS INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC VEHICLE. I HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD PICKUP TRUCK ALSO AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE SHOP ONCE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. WHEN I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT MY CRUISE CONTROL SPEED OF 65. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MY SPEEDOMETER BACKED OFF TO 45 MPH, BUT WOULD NOT RETURN TO ZERO. AFTER STOPPING, THEN TURNING ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL STUCK AT 45 MPH. MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS PREVIOUSLY SET AT THE SPEED LIMIT FOR THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND I HIT THE BUTTON TO RESUME CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, THINKING IT WOULD RESET TO ZERO WITHOUT POWER; YET, IT IS STILL STUCK AT 45 MPH AND MY CAR IS OFF AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

Summary

I HAVE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS WITH MY 2004 SUV ENVOY XUV AND I AM BELIEVE THIS TO BE MORE OF A RECALL PROBLEM THAN JUST BAD LUCK AND MY HEAR SHIFT IN THE TRUCK IS GOING OUT "THE ELECTRONIC ACUTATOR," ALL OF THIS IS JUST UNREAL WITH THESE CAR AND TRUCKS HAVING THESE TYPE MALFUNCTION AND THE MAKE DOES NOT WANT TO HONOR THE REPAIRS. I HAVE NEVER IN MY MANY OF CARS ALONG WITH FAMILY MEMBER HAD AUTO REPAIR SUCH AS THIS. I CAN'T WAIT TO GOT BACK TO A FOREIGN AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC AGAIN. GMC SAID THY WOULD GET THE DEAL TO HELP WITH HALF THE REPAIR, BUT THE DEAL HERE CHANGED NAMES AND MANAGEMENT FROM MILLSAPS TO TEEAMS AUTO. THESE CARS COST WAY TOO MUCH FOR THINGS LIKE THIS TO GO WRONG. I WANT TO VOICE MY OPINION ABOUT TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT WILL AT LEAST READ ABOUT IT. THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY WAY TO MUCH FOR SOMETHING THEY ALREADY PAID FOR. MY TRUCK IS ROLLING MILES THAT I AM NOT REALLY DRIVING AND THIS IS SAD. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF GETTING THIS TRUCK USED AND THAT WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MAKER DOES NOT CAR ENOUGH ABOUT THE CONSUMER TO MAKE IT RIGHT. THIS IS PROBABLY SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE ECONOMY NOW AND THAT THE LITTLE MAN HAS TO PAY THE COST BECAUSE THE MONEY MAKERS WILL NOT HONOR RIGHT WITH THE CONSUMERS, YOU CAN'T CHEAT PEOPLE AND/OR BE DISHONEST AND THINK IT WILL NOT COME BACK TO YOU. I HAVE NOT HAD PERFORMANCE FAILURE, BUT I AM CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFETY WITH SUCH PROBLEMS AS GEAR SHIFT ELECTRONIC ACTUATOR FAILING. *TR

I TRADED MY 2005 FORD FOCUS 26410 MILES TO WADE RAULERSON GMC ON OCTOBER 3, 2007 WROTE TWO CHECKS IN THE AMOUNT OF 500.00 EACH THAT THEY HELD FOR FOUR WEEKS FOR A DOWN PAYMENT. WE LOOKED AT A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 65,000 MILES THE SALESMAN QUOTED US A PRICE OF 17,000 SO WE DID THE PAPER WORK THE FIRST TIME ON THE 16TH WE WERE CALLED IN AGAIN AND TOLD WE HAD TO SIGN MORE DOCUMENTS THIS TIME THE PRICE OF THE ENVOY ROSE TO 21698.35, I ASKED ABOUT MY 05 FOCUS WAS TOLD IT SOLD THE NEXT DAY AND WE HAD TO HAVE GAP PROTECTION. PAYOFF ON MY CAR WAS 12,502.95 AND IT LOOKED AS IF THEY WERE GIVING ME 14900.00 BUT RAISED THE PRICE OF THE TRUCK BY 4000.00. BAD DEAL TO BEGIN WITH. THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. I HAD TO RETURN IT AT THE END OF THE MONTH IN OCTOBER 2007 TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS, SEATBELT, AND MOTOR IN THE WINDOW REPLACED, AND DIAGNOSED TO FIND WHY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT. TWO WEEKS LATER STRANDED AT THE DAYCARE I HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. ON 05/05/2008 THE CONDITIONER WENT OUT. I PAID THE DEALERSHIP OVER 100.00 TO TELL ME IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL 600.00 PLUS DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE MODE ACTUATOR DOOR MOTOR. OCTOBER 17, 2008 I SPENT 375.02 TO HAVE BOTH THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE AND GEAR SHIFT LEVER REMOVED AND REPLACED. THANK GOD I WAS ACTUALLY ON A PARKING LOT WHEN THE CABLE BROKE AND NOT IN TRAFFIC. CONTACTING WADE RAULERSON GMC HAS BEEN USELESS I HAVE PRACTICALLY BEEN TOLD YOU BOUGHT THE "LEMON" AS-IS NOW IT'S YOUR TROUBLES! THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINST THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS AND NOT JUST FOR NEW CARS. NOW NO-ONE WILL TOUCH IT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS IT IS HAVING AND THE LARGE AMOUNT THAT'S NOW OWED. EVERY TIME THE VIN IS PULLED I GET PUSHED OUT OF THE DOOR FASTER THAN I CAN BLINK. BTW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND HAS BEEN SINCE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. I?M TIRED OF HONEST HARD-WORKING PEOPLE BEING RAKED OVER THE COALS BY UNSCRUPULOUS DEALERS WHILE THEY GET PROTECTED BY THE "AS-IS" RULE THEN LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK. *TR

AT ONE POINT MY MIDDLE WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING I TOOK IT TO GMC TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REGULATOR, INSURANCE DID NOT COVER THIS AND THE WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS LATER MY BACK WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN THEREFORE THE TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN, BACK TO GMC I WENT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REGULATOR ONCE AGAIN, AT THIS POINT I ASKED AGAIN ABOUT RECALLS AND WHY BOTH REGULATORS WOULD GO BAD WITHIN WEEKS OF ONE ANOTHER, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COINCIDENCE.

AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE THE TECHNICIAN WENT TO PULL THE CAR OUT OF THE BAY AND THE CAR JUST DIED. IT APPEARED FIRST THAT THE BATTERY MAY HAVE DIED. THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL. NEXT AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A MINUTE WE ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION AND ALL THE GAUGES WENT CRAZY, REGISTERING AS IF I WAS DRIVING. THEN AS IN THE ANOTHER COMPLAINT, UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS CAME ON AND STAYED ON.

THE NEXT TIME I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE VEHICLE DID THE VERY SAME THING AS MENTIONED ABOVE (GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY, ETC.). I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MORE TIME EACH TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. PRIOR TO THIS EXPERIENCE THE OIL GAUGE HAD STOP REGISTERING AND HAD MALFUNCTION ABOUT ONE YEAR EARLIER.

HELLO, HOPE YOU CAN HELP MYSELF AND OTHER PERSONS FROM NOT HAPPENING. I CAME HOME FROM WORK SATURDAY, AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE AS USUAL. AFTER BEING HOME AND WATCHING SOME TV I KNOW FOR SURE WAS 2 IN A HALF HOURS. MY WIFE ASKED OF ME TO GO TO THE GARAGE TO GET SOME ICE CREAM, WE HAVE A FREEZE IN THERE. I WALKED IN THE DOOR AND COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW HOT! IT WAS IN THERE IT WASN'T A HOT DAY AT ALL TO MAKE THE GARAGE SIZZLE. WE HAVE A THERMOMETER GAUGE IN THERE AND BELIEVE ME IT READ 100 . I WAS SHOCKED! I WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET MY WIFE, TO LET HER FEEL THE HEAT, AND TRY TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS THE FREEZER, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING PLUG IN. WE FELT THE FREEZER FROM THE OUTSIDE , IN SOME PLACES IT WAS HOT. I COULDN'T TAKE THE HEAT ANY MORE AND OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR. THERE WAS NO SMELL OF ANYTHING THAT COULD BE WRONG. THEN I TOUCH MY ENVOY, AND HOOD OF THE CAR WAS HOT, THEN WE STARTED TO FEEL AROUND THE HEAT FROM THE CAR WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAKE THE FREEZER HOT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE PART TO KEEP THE HOOD UP WAS TO HOT TO HANDLE. I MANGE NOTHING WAS BURNING NO SMELL JUST HEAT INSIDE AND OUT. I PULLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE BECAUSE OF FEAR MY GARAGE GOING UP IN FLAMES, WITH GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLES. I OPEN THE DOOR, AND WOW THE HEAT I HURRIED AND PULLED IT OUT. I LOOKED AT THE GAUGES AND THEY ALL READ NORMAL? I ASKED A FEW FRIENDS AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. WE LEFT THE ENVOY IN THE DRIVE ALL WEEKEND, AND LEFT THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN TO VENT OUT. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE. WE DO HAVE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER PLAN. COULD YOU PLEASE CHECK INTO PROBLEM IT COULD SAFE A LOT OF LIVES.

AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION AND THREE WEEKS THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO FIX FOR 500 VICE 3300 WHICH THEY WANTED. A WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN AND NOW WE LOST POWER STEERING AND THE GAS NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WIESNER GMC IN CONROE TX AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED ANY CALLS. I AM NOW TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC TO TRIED TO GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

Summary

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL SOMETIMES SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING A CERTAIN MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. EXAMPLE: VEHICLE IS IN PARK. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 34 MPH. WHEN DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER BASES IT'S SPEED OFF OF 34 MPH BEING AT 0 AND ACTUAL SPEED IS 34MPH HIGHER THAN WHAT I AM ACTUALLY GOING. ALSO, VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WILL SOMETIMES GET STUCK PAST 120MPH BECAUSE OF THE NEEDLE BEING AT A CERTAIN SPEED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN MOVING. *TR

THE MPH AND RPM GAUGES NOT WORKING. NEEDLE WOULD NOT GO DOWN TO ZERO. WOULD GET STUCK IN ONE MPH AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM THERE. WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN TO ZERO IN 5MPH INCREMENTS BY STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE, BUT THEN AFTER DRIVING IT WOULD STICK AT 40 AND UP. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT MY OTHER 2004 CHEVY TRUCK RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM MY GMC WAS HAVING. HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE DASH BOARD CLUSTER(OVER $500.00). I NEEDED TO KNOW THE SPEED I WAS DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

Summary

MY 2004 ENVOY XUV REAR TAILGATE HAS 2 BROKEN RELEASES IN IT. AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, THE ONLY WAY TO ACCESS THE REAR ENCLOSED PART OF THIS VEHICLE IS THROUGH THE REAR DOOR, IF THERE IS NO REAR ACCESS, THEN YOU CANNOT GET WHAT IS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE OUT. IN MY CASE, A DOG WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT THE MIDGATE WINDOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE IS TOO SMALL TO GET THE DOG OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS AS EVEN IF THERE WAS A ACCESS TO THE REAR THROUGH THE CENTER MIDGATE, SOME OBJECTS COULD GET PLACED IN THE REAR AREA THAT ARE TOO LARGE TO REMOVE VIA THE MIDGATE AND SIDE DOORS AND IF THE REAR TAILGATE CANNOT BE OPENED, THE OBJECTS WILL NEVER BE REMOVED. *TR

Summary

TRUCK SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS CONTINUOUSLY COME ON AND OFF. THE TRANSMISSION WENT AND LOST ALL GEARS AT 52,000 MILES, AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AT 31,000 MILES FOR THE SAME REASON. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ITEMS IN WHICH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON: TRANSMISSION SEVERAL TIMES BUT DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING, FUEL CAP, FUEL TANK NECK, INTERNAL GAUGE FOR THE FUEL TANK, AND ONLY TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK ON 3/19/08 AND FOR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AGAIN. I SWEAR THIS TRUCK IS A TOTAL LEMON! I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS LAST TIME WAS A TOTAL FIGHT WITH THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION, ALONG WITH NO MORALS AND RESPECT FOR THE CONSUMER FROM GM THEMSELVES OR THE DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE ENDED UP WITH A LEMON, AND THERE IS NOT A DARN THING I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO THINK THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. CONTACTED ON-STAR TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS EVERY TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING SO I END UP TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR 65.00 AN HOUR FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND BEING TOLD THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AND WAS ASSURED THAT THEY RAN ALL DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS AND CLEARED ALL THE CODES AFTER FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS BEGINNING TO BECOME VERY ANNOYING, COSTLY, AND UNRELIABLE WHEN TRANSPORTING CHILDREN IN WHAT I CALL AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I HAVE PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH WITH SUCH LOW MILES! *TR

WELL LETS JUST SAY AFTER RECEIVING THE ENVOY BACK FROM THE DEALER FOR REPLACING THE GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION IN WHICH GM DID NOT FIND TO BE AT FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION @ 31,000 MILES WHEN I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. SO OVER THE NEXT MONTHS FOLLOWING THIS MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT @ 52000 MILES, SO GM HAD ME PAY A 500 DEDUCTIBLE. NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR THE COOLANT SYSTEM ACCORDING TO ON-STAR, SO BACK OFF TO THE DELAERSHIP FOR NOT CHECKING ALL THE CODES FOR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER INSIDE THE GAS TANK, THE GAS TANK NECK, THE BATTERY @ 38,000 MILES, AND TIRES @ 28000 MILES, BRAKES @ 38000 EVEN WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND COMPLAINED 3 TIMES ABOUT THE BRAKES. AS I FURTHER INVESTIGATED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD OTHERS HAVE HAD REPORTED TO LEMON LAW, NHSTA, BBB. THESE ITEMS HAVE HAPPENED FROM THE START OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE UP UNTIL MARCH OF 2008. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND WHEN THE OIL WAS JUST RECENTLY CHANGED THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AT THE POINT WHERE THE FILLER MET THE MAIN BODY OF THE TANK. HE SAID SINCE THE TANK WAS PLASTIC THE GAS WAS CAUSING THE DETERIORATION AND THE ENTIRE TANK WOULD CAUSE A MAJOR ISSUE. AFTER CHECKING WITH OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF THE 3 YR WARRANTY PERIOD AND SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN ARIZONA AND NOT CALIFORNIA IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED GMC WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE PART OF A REPLACEMENT PLAN THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE PAYING FOR, NOT LIKE A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM (CHANGING TIRES, OIL CHANGES, SPARK PLUGS, ETC.) CUTTING CORNERS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE LIGHTER AND THEN NOT SUPPORTING THE CHANGE IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO BE POPULAR. *TR

Summary

1. I PURCHASED A 2004 ENVOY. THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM HAD IT UNDER WARRANTY. 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE COMING ON AND OFF, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS STARTED TO LOCK BY THEMSELVES SIMULTANEOUSLY. NON STOP. IT SCARES MY CHILDREN, AS WELL AS I, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO SPARK A FIRE OR WHAT. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT MORE THAN OTHERS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN IT RAINS, BUT IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I ROLL THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW UP. EVEN IF ITS NOT DOWN AND I ROLL IT UP IT DOES IT. AS WELL AS IF I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE AND SOMETIMES IT JUST DOES IT ON ITS ON. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A GMC DEALER 4 OR MORE TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM ANY WHERE. SO, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIND A SOLUTION. I PARK MY $18,000 VEHICLE NEXT TO THE ROAD IN CASE IT DOES SPARK A FIRE. PLEASE INFORM ME IF ANYTHING IS AVAILABLE OR WHO I NEED TO CONTACT AT GMC TO FIND AN ANSWER. *TR

Summary

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 04 GMC ENVOY WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. NOW ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. SOMETIMES IT WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK IT READS TO HIGH OR TWO LOW. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 AND IT WILL DROP BELOW 0. OR I CAN BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT SHOWS 40. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE WEB SHOWS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL GM AND GMC SHOULD HAVE TO DO A RECALL ON THIS AS IT COULD BE A LIFE AND SAFETY ITEM. FOR EXAMPLE ONE COULD SLOW TO THE RECOMMEND SPEED FOR A CURVE OR A TURN. IF THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING TWO LOW THEN THE PERSON WOULD BE TRAVELING TWO FAST FOR THE TURN. I SEE ALSO WHERE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT IS IN THE WORKS ON THIS. *TR

THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE "SPECIAL POLICY" BUT WAS THE SAME DEFECT. THE DEALER IS ADVISING NOT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRED. THE DEALER OPINION IS THAT DUE THE "SPECIAL POLICY" THERE ARE NO FUEL TANKS AVAILABLE SO THE VEHICLE IA LOCATED AT THE DEALER UNTIL REPAIRED. OLD PART CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP FOR A RED LIGHT, THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CRASHING SOUND FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE IN 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO PROPEL ITSELF IN 'D', BUT WAS VERY SLUGGISH AS IF TRYING TO START DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL IT WOULD STILL PROPEL ITSELF WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. IT WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE MOVED MANUALLY BY PUSHING, IT WOULD ONLY MOVE WHEN DRIVEN FORWARD OR WHEN THE REAR WHEELS WHERE LIFTED OFF THE GROUND WHEN IT WAS TOWED. THE DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

Summary

EVENTS THAT HAVE LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE I BELIEVE IS POOR ENGINEERING OF THE PRODUCT. I HAVE A 2004 ENVOY XL THAT HAS THE DRIVERS' SIDE POWER SEAR AND LUMBAR COMPRESSOR SWITCH SET ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT. THE SWITCHES ARE SURROUNDED BY A THAN LARGE PIECE OF HARD PLASTIC. THE WAY IT IS ARRANGED ON THE SEAT NO MATTER HOW A PERSON GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE; PRESSURE IS PUSHED DOWN ONTO THE PLASTIC SEAT SWITCH COVER. I HAVE REPLACED THIS PRODUCT TWICE NOW WITHIN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE FIRST TIME IT COST ME FROM 65 TO 85 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A .50 CENT PIECE OF PLASTIC. I WAS TOLD IT HAD A TWELVE MONTH WARRANTY. WITHIN 3 TO 6 MONTHS THE SAME THING HAPPENED; MY WIFE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SEAT CONTROL SWITCH PLATE FELL TO THE GROUND. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE SERVICE MANAGER ASKED THE PROBLEM AND WHEN I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE SWITCH CONTROL COVER FALLING OFF AGAIN; THE PERSON STATED, " I BET YOU ARE DRIVING AN ENVOY AREN'T YOU?" HE THEN SAID THOSE WERE A BAD DESIGN FOR THAT MODEL AND POP OFF ALL THE TIME. WELL AFTER REPLACING THE PRODUCT UNDER THE WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE FIRST ONE I REPLACED (BOUGHT), I ASKED DOES THE 12 MONTH WARRANTY START OVER FOR THE NEW PRODUCT? HE SAID NO, AND IF IT COMES OFF AGAIN, AND IT WILL; YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY THE NEXT COVER PLATE AGAIN. THAT IS WRONG!!! IF IT IS GENERALLY KNOW THROUGHOUT THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENTS A PROBLEM EXISTS WHY DOES THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY??? OH BY THE WAY, THE PLASTIC SEAT CONTROL COVER DID POP OFF AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO, SO I HAVE ENGINEERED IT WITH ZIP TIES THAT ARE BRIGHT ENOUGH WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN FOR PEOPLE TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCT GM ACTUALLY BUILDS. *JB

Summary

I OWN A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH APPROXIMATELY 85,000 "HIGHWAY" MILES. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO AN I HAD IT ANALYZED AT A LARGE AUTO REPAIR CHAIN. IT INDICATED A VACUUM LEAK. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TOP OF THE PVC GAS TANK WHERE THE INLET VALUE WAS MOUNTED TO THE TANK DURING MANUFACTURING WAS LIKELY THE SOURCE AS THERE WAS FUEL STAINS RUNNING DOWN THE TANK FROM THIS LOCATION! TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO THIS MATTER, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT ANOTHER GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE OF THE SAME TYPE HAD THE SAME, EXACT PROBLEM THE WEEK BEFORE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM ALONE. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND LONG STORY SHORT, THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TANK BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE GMC MECHANIC INDICATED THAT IF IT HAD 60,000 MILES OR FEWER, HE WOULD LIKELY HAVE REPLACED IT FOR ME. I ATTEMPTED TO EXPLAIN THAT A FUEL LEAK IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILIES SAFETY. TO EXPLODE OR BURN IN AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS NOT A MILEAGE FACTOR AND IT IS NOT A WEAR PART, IT WAS SIMPLY NOT PROPERLY SEALED WHEN IT WAS BEING MANUFACTURED. I FEEL THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD CHECK INTO THIS MATTER AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT LIKELY AFFECTS MANY ENVOYS AND TRAIL BLAZERS. I HOPE THAT THIS NOTICE WILL START A FULL INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL. A DEATH FROM THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS VERY POSSIBLE.

I HAVE TAKEN MY 04 ENVOYXL INTO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 7 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN WHICH THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO FIX/RESOLVE. MY ENVOYXL CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK GADGES LIGHTS KEEP POPPING ON AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO CUT OFF/STALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET FIXED THE PROBLEM, I HAVE TAKEN THE SUV IN OVER 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. FROM 2004 UNTIL NOW 2007 THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS GOING OUT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES BUT THEY KEEP GOING OUT. THESE LIGHTS ARE ON THE RADIO PART, THE BUTTONS WHICH OPERATE THE RADIO AND SWITCHES THE STATION. THE PANELS SEEMS TO GET VERY HOT. THE LIGHTS ARE CURRENTLY OUT NOW AFTER BEING REPLACED 3 TIMES AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE PAINT ON THE SUV IS VERY DULL AND THE LEATHER ON THE 2ND ROW SEAT IS CRACKING, COMPLETELY WORN AND VERY CHEAP. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT THE LEATHER IS WORN OUT TOO FAST, NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE 2ND ROW LEATHER SEATS. THE PAINT ON THE EXTERIOR IS DULL AND SPOTTY, I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE PAINT EITHER. THIS SUV IS A LEMON, IT CONTINUES TO CUT OFF ALTHOUGH MANY ATTEMPTS HAS BEEN MADE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, I THINK THEY SHOULD BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK SINCE IT CAN'T BE FIXED. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SINCE THESE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUES TO WEAR OUT VERY FAST AND THE RADIO HAD TO BE REPLACED ALREADY BUT THE LIGHTS CONTINUES TO BLOW OUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE RADIO AND OTHER COMPONENTS. *TR

ONE TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO RELEASE IT (ONE COMPLETE FAILURE) AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT MY SEATBELT FASTENED. THE REASON FOR FILING THIS COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE I HAVE AN AVERAGE OF 1 FAILURE A DAY SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, EMBARRASSING, AND TIME CONSUMING.

Summary

I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 ENVOY XUV FROM RALLY GMC IN PALMDALE, CA (PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2004). AT ABOUT 74000 MILES (2000 MILES AFTER EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED), THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED REGISTERING 45MPH, REGARDLESS OF WHAT SPEED I WAS ACTUALLY GOING. IN ADDITION, IT NOW JUMPS FROM SPEED TO SPEED IN 5MPH INCREMENTS. I DISCOVERED THIS WHILE DRIVING FROM LA TO DALLAS ON THE INTERSTATE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IN EARLY DECEMBER 2006. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE, AND A SENSOR HAD ICE ON IT. BUT AFTER IT WARMED UP AND I FOUND MYSELF GOING ABOUT 80-90MPH, WHILE THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 45MPH, I REALIZED THE SPEEDO HAD FAILED. I PULLED THE ICU FUSE AND THE SPEEDOMETER RESET AND STARTED ACTING OK FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. IT FAULTED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER AND HAS NEVER WORKED RIGHT SINCE. RALLY CHEVROLET/GMC IN PALMDALE CA QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $600.00 PLUS TO FIX IT, PLUS AN INDEFINITE TIME IN THE SHOP.

THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CONVENIENTLY APPEARS SHORTLY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY.

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2004 ENVOY WITH 18,000 MILES IN THE SUMMER OF 2006. BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2007, MY 3 YEAR OLD SON LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS COLD WHILE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT AND BEGGED THAT I TURN OFF THE AIR. TURNS OUT THAT THE VENT IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS BLOWING ICE COLD AIR ON MY SON. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 DEGREES. I CALLED AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A "BULLETIN" STATING THAT GMC WAS FAMILIAR THAT THERE WAS HEAT FAILURE IN THE BACK OF THE CARS, BUT THE COMPANY WAS CHOOSING NOT TO DO A FULL RECALL. INSTEAD, THEY WERE WAITING FOR CUSTOMERS TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM AND BRING IT IN FOR REPAIR. THEY HAD TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PUMP, HOWEVER, THIS STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, IT JUST MODIFIED THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR FROM APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES TO MAYBE 50 DEGREES. NOT A LOT OF COMFORT IN A MINNESOTA WINTER. I WAS INFORMED THAT BOTTOM LINE, IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THAT I COULD JUST TRY TO FORCE THE AIR FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE BACK SEAT. WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING VENTS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND HAVING A SEPARATE HEATING ELEMENT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BACK OF THE CAR? I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WITH THE VENTS IN THE BACK, IT WOULD HELP HEAT THE CAR FASTER IN THE WINTER, HELPING TO KEEP MY SON WARM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HEAT SHOULD BE A LUXURY, AND AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GMC WOULD NOT DO MORE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WANT IT TO BE KNOWN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER, ESPECIALLY FOR FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN WHO DO NOT HAVE A VOICE TO LET THEIR PARENTS KNOW THE ICY AIR BLOWING ON THEM. *NM

Summary

IN ROUTE TO WORK DRIVING MY 2004 GMC ENVOY I WAS INVOLVED IN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDERED A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A TELEPHONE POLE. THE IMPACT WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO SPILT THE POLE IN TWO, TOP HALF JUST MISSING THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE . UPON IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID MY SEAT BELTS LOCK ME IN CAUSING ME TO FLY FORWARD HITTING MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, I HAD TO BE EXTRACTED FROM VEHICLE BY FIRE DEPARTMENT AND TRANSPORTED TO ER. I NOW HAVE PERMANENT SCAR APPROXIMATELY 5 INCHES IN LENGTH ACROSS MY FOREHEAD. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC LATER TO BE INFORMED THAT AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION THEY CONCLUDED THAT SINCE THE PASSENGER SIDE TOOK THE GREATER OF THE IMPACT THE IMPACT WAS NOT GREAT ENOUGH TO WARRANT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT DRIVERS NOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. *JB

UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ALL THE GAUGES STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AND ALL THE NEEDLE INDICATORS STARTED JUMPING AT RANDOM. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE VEHICLE STARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE VERY NEXT TIME I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE; IT DID THE VERY SAME THING AS MENTIONED ABOVE (GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY, ETC.). I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MORE TIME EACH TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. FINALLY THE VEHICLE STARTED AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WERE EXPERIENCED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING HOME AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING QUIT. I COASTED TO A SAFE SPOT ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS MENTIONED ABOVE E.G. GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY. AFTER ABOUT 5 MIN. THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. IN MY DRIVEWAY I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIME. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS MENTIONED ABOVE E.G. GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY. UPON CONSULTING WITH A LOCAL MECHANIC AND A LOCAL DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY A BAD IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE SWITCH REPLACED. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. IT HAS TWO BUCKET SEATS AND A SECOND ROW BENCH SEAT AND A TRUNK THAT IS SEPARATED BY A PANEL WITH A GLASS INSIDE THE PANEL. I GUESS I HAVE ROLLED THIS WINDOW DOWN 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND NOW THE GLASS WILL NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID THE PART (REGULATOR) IS ON BACK ORDER FROM GM. THIS MEANS ONLY ONE THING THAT THEY HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. I CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE THEY HONOR NOTHING AND IN FACT HAD SOLD OUT AND DID NOT KNOW WHERE MY PAPERS WERE AT ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE REASON IT TOOK ME 34 YEARS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. I GOT BURNED AS A GREEN KID OUT OF COLLEGE WITH MY FIRST JOB AND PURCHASED A GM AND GOT SCREWED BY THE SALES PERSON IN THE CHECKERED COAT. GO FIGURE. ON TOP OF ALL THIS, THE RADIO FACE HAS TURNED FROM BLACK TO YELLOW AS THE PAINT OF ALL THINGS HAS STARTED COMING OFF OF THE RADIO. WHY WAS THE PLASTIC NOT MOLDED BLACK PLASTIC INSTEAD OF YELLOW PLASTIC AND PAINTED. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AS IT WAS PAST THE MILES. WELL THAT STINKS AS I HAD THE TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR AT THAT POINT. I TRAVEL A LOT IN MY JOB AND PUT A LOT OF MILES ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RADIO OR WINDOW REGULATOR. WHAT CAN I DO? *JB

THIS IS A TRUE "DANGER"...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED, HOW MUCH GAS, WHAT MY ENGINE IS DOING...NOTHING...THE DEALERSHIPS WANT ANYWHERE FROM $400.00 TO $600.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A TRUE MECHANICAL DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, SAID THAT GMC HAS A REAL PROBLEM....THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ONE PART OFTEN. ITS SOMETHING THEY SEE OFTEN.

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH APPROXIMATELY 50000 MILES ON IT IN MAY OF 2006. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING SLIGHTLY ERRATIC, REPORTING SPEEDS VARYING BY 10-20 MPH (I.E. ON THE HIGHWAY, KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD REPORT 45 MPH OR SOMETIMES 80 MPH. OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE, WITH THE SPEEDOMETER REPORTING 120 MPH AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS, AND 50 MPH AT A STOP, SOMETIMES NOT REGISTERING ANY SPEED AT ALL (O MPH). THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING, WHICH I AM ASSUMING IS RELATED TO THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. I SEARCHED ONLINE, AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY OTHER GMC OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/T2BGKBGI55EKNU77C/P1 THIS IS THE FIRST GMC CAR I HAVE PURCHASED AND I AM DISSATISFIED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM A PRETTY GOOD GUESS AT HOW FAST I AM GOING, HOWEVER WITHOUT AN ACCURATE SPEEDOMETER I FEEL I AM TAKING UNNECESSARY CHANCES. AS A REALTOR, I OFTEN HAVE CLIENTS IN MY VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY AS WELL. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC, BUT I WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALER AS THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS A $500 FIX, AND I AM CONCERNED AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE THIS PROBLEMATIC WITH A VEHICLE 2 YEARS OLD. I HOPE THAT BY REPORTING THIS ISSUE, THE NHTSA WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME AND THE OTHER HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SUV. WHILE DRIVING REPORTED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH; THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES, SHE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, SWERVED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER, CRASHING INTO A UTILITY POLE. SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT. DURING THIS TIME NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TREATED FOR SCRAPES & BRUISES, PAIN, MINOR INJURIES, MAJOR INJURIES RULED OUT BY X-RAYS & CT SCANS, THEN RELEASED. I UNDERSTAND THE THEORY " IF A PERSON IS ABLE TO WALK AWAY FROM THE CRASH THE VEHICLE DID IT'S JOB." MY CONCERN WAS NOT MUCH OF A CONCERN UNTIL THE RESPONDING EMT'S, OFFICERS, AND MECHANIC AT THE PLACE WHERE THE CAR IS CURRENTLY STORED ALL VOICED CONCERNS REGARDING THE FACT NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT. I ALSO BECAME CONCERNED AFTER SEEING THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE. WE ARE NOT OFFICIALLY SURE OF THE STATUS OF THE CAR AT THIS TIME AS WE ARE STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE ADJUSTER. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC & RESPONDING OFFICER BELIEVE IT IS TOTALED. THE ENTIRE FRONT WINDOW SHATTERED, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS RIPPED OFF HANGING ON A THREAD, THE ENTIRE FRONT END/GRILL RIPPED OFF, BOTH HEADLIGHTS CRUSHED, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS NO LONGER THERE, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE ENTIRELY MISSING ALONG WITH ANYTHING HOLDING IT IN PLACE, THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT IS ALMOST TOUCHING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS PUSHED BACK TOWARD THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR AS WELL. MY FIANCE WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE, THE CONCERN IS IF SHE HADN'T BEEN, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO A PASSENGER...CLEAR SPECULATION , BUT THE AIRBAG MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY SAVING GRACE A PASSENGER WOULD HAVE HAD. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, GM, AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND NOW NHTSA WITH THIS CONCERN. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REVIEW THIS REPORT. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2004 GMC ENVOY FROM KNIGHTLINGER MOTORS IN COUDERSPORT PA 3-2004. I STARTED HAVING SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF PURCHASE. I KEPT GOING BACK TO THEM WHEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT KEPT LOCKING INTO PLACE. THEY WOULD ASSIST IN UN LOCKING IT. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THE SEAT BELT MECHANICS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOUR TIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL I TAKE A 99% RISK OF INJURY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SEAT BELT IS NON FUNCTIONING. IT IS A COME AND GO KIND OF THING. ONE MINUTE IT WORKS THEN THE NEXT WEEK I AM LEFT WITHOUT USAGE. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND MYSELF IN THAT VEHICLE AND YET GMC HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY TRIED TO APPEASE ME BY PROVIDING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ON MANY OCCASION DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE AND YET THEY KEEP SAYING THAT THE SEAT BELT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ERICA FROM GMC CONSUMER MANAGEMENT AGREED THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP HAVING SOMETHING REPLACED IF IT IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THIS WAS REPLACED WAS IN JUNE. WITHIN TWO HOURS IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. NOW IT IS BACK. ONE MINUTE I CAN USE MY SEAT BELT AND THEN NEXT TIME I GET IN I DON'T GET TO. I RECENTLY PHONED ERICA AGAIN TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS A SAFETY VIOLATION AND THAT SHE NEED TO CONTACT ME SO THAT WE COULD DISCUSS OPTIONS. TO DATE MY PHONE CALLS GO UNANSWERED. THE LAWS DEMAND THAT YOU WEAR A SEAT BELT AT ALL TIMES BUT I CAN NOT DO SO WITH MY GMC. DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR DEATH BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS TAKEN CARE OF. WINTER IS COMING AND IT IS UNFAIR THAT MY TRUCK WILL SIT IN THE GARAGE ON THE DAYS THAT I FEEL UNSAFE TO TRAVEL WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. WHY DID I SPEND $42000 ON AN AUTOMOBILE THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO KEEP ME SAFE. WHAT I FEEL IS UNFAIR IS THIS BAD TREATMENT. *NM

THE BLOWER MOTOR ON OUR 2004 GMC ENVOY QUIT WORKING AND UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND THE WIRING HARNESS THAT PLUGS INTO THE RESISTOR HAD MELTED TOGETHER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ORDER THE TWO PARTS (RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS), IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS IS ON NATIONWIDE BACKORDER. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO INDICATED THAT HE HAS 5 OTHERS ON BACKORDER. FROM THAT COMMENT, HE INDICATED THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND RESISTOR MELTING TOGETHER ON A NATIONAL BASIS. THE FACT THAT THE HEAT WAS SO GREAT TO MELT THESE TWO COMPONENTS TOGETHER CLEARLY INDICATES A POSSIBLE FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD. I BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. *JB

GMC ENVOY SUV (4.2) INLINE 6-CYLINDER. VEHICLE HAS STALLED FIVE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS. IT STALLS OUT WHEN YOU BEGIN TO STOP OR START TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR JUST WHILE IDLING. LUCKILY IT HASN'T BEEN WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PASS OR MERGE IN TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME WAS AROUND 23,000 AND THE SECOND TIME 23,500. THE NEXT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT IDLING AND IT DIED AFTER RUNNING FOR 5-8 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDED CLEANING - DONE. SIX WEEKS LATER AND 1500 MILES IT STALLED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A U-TURN IN ST. PETERSBURG AND I NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED. DEALER KEPT IT TWO DAYS AND DID NOTHING SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND COULDN'T GET ANYTHING FROM THE COMPUTER. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 7/21 FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGE, FUEL FILTER CHANGE, AND A/C REPAIR-BAD CLUTCH). THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD TWO COMPUTER MODULE UPDATES, ONE TO FIX STALLS. THREE DAYS LATER IT STALLED IN JACKSONVILLE TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME TO THE DEALER AND LEFT FOR A WEEK. DEALER SAID VEHICLE IDLING ROUGH BUT COMPUTER NOT REGISTERING PROBLEM SO NOTHING WAS DONE, AGAIN. I E-MAILED GM AND I HAVE HAD NO REPLY IN TWO WEEKS.

TURNED ON ENGINE, AND IT DIDN'T SOUND QUITE RIGHT, ENDED UP STALLING ABOUT 4 TIMES, ON WAY HOME, ENDED UP CALLING THEM TO HAVE CAR TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIM IT WAS NOTHING THEY DID, HOWEVER, IT STILL STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON, UNTL THIS DAY. NEVER KNOW WHEN IT COULD HAPPEN, VERY DANGEROUS, AND I AM IN SALES AND DRIVE FOR A LIVING. *JB

Summary

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV HAD AT LEAST 12 FAILURES TO STOP. THIS ISSUE BEGAN OCCURRING AS SOON AS I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2005. DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE: 1. WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (SHORTEST 1 SECOND, LONGEST 3-4 SECONDS) CAUSING FAILURE TO STOP. 2. ISSUE IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND OCCURS AT ANY TRAVELING SPEEDS (EXAMPLE: 75 MPH, 15 MPH)... WHAT WAS DONE: 1. FIRST COMPLAINT TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN 2005: NO ISSUES FOUND. 2ND COMPLAINT AT 2005: DEALER REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER. 3RD COMPLAINT IN JUN 2006: DEALER REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER AGAIN. CONCLUSION: SINCE THIS ISSUE IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE VERY OFTEN, IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO VERIFY THE FIX. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS SUV. *NM

Summary

I BOUGHT MY GMC ENVOY IN JANUARY 2004 FOR APPROX. $42,000. THIS CAR HAS EVERYTHING. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS OF THE PURCHASE, MY GPS WENT OUT AND HAD BEEN FIXED TWICE. MY BRAKES DO NOT ALWAYS WORK --SOMETIMES THEY SLIP ESPECIALLY WHEN I NEED THEM MOST -WHICH IS SCARY. GMC SAID THAT THEY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, BUT DID NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE STALLS PERIODICALLY. GMC SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY. THE GAS GAUGE AND ODOMETER DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO NORTH COUNTY GMC DEALERSHIP IN SAN DIEGO FOR REPAIRS I MENTIONED MY GAS GAUGE DID NOT WORK ALONG WITH MANY OF THE OTHER ISSUES. AFTER THEY REPAIRED THE ODOMETER BY REPLACING THE CLUSTER, THE GAS GAUGE STILL DID NOT WORK. EVERY SINGLE TIME THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN I AM FORCED TO PAY A $100 SERVICE CHARGE JUST SO THEY CAN LOOK AT IT AND BECAUSE I AM IN SALES, I AM ALSO FORCED TO GET A RENTAL CAR. AFTER ALL THIS, I AM STILL QUITE DISPLEASED WITH GMC. I HATE TO SAY IT BUT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST AMERICAN CAR ??PROFESSIONAL GRADE?? AND IF THIS IS TRUE I WILL NEVER BUY AN AMERICAN VEHICLE AGAIN. GMC SAID THEY WOULD BE CHECKING ON ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I PICKED MY ENVOY UP AFTER THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEMS, I FOUND SEVERAL ISSUES STILL UNRESOLVED. THEY SUGGEST I NEED TO SET ANOTHER MEETING TO BRING MY ENVOY IN AND OF COURSE WILL COST ANOTHER $100. *NM

ALSO, A FAN CAN BE HEARD BLOWING OFF & ON APPROX ONCE EVERY MINUTE, AND THIS IS WITH THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THIS IS CONSTANT, I'M CONCERNED THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD AND THE CAR WON'T START, OR THAT THE LIGHTS WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT.

Summary

I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 ENVOY XUV IN 7/2004. AFTER ABOUT 3 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO MAKE A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING OR BEING IN PARK AND TURNING THE WHEEL. WHEN I BROUGHT IN THE XUV FOR AN OIL CHANGE I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THE SQUEAK BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE NOISE THAT DAY. HOWEVER, THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE AND AS THE TIME CAME CLOSER TO THE NEXT OIL CHANGE THE NOISE WAS GETTING LOUDER. IT WAS KIND OF A SCRAPING SOUND. THE DEALER DID HEAR THAT SOUND THAT WAS DESCRIBED AND LUBRICATED SOMETHING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE NOISE FADED BUT WAS BACK WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WELL, TODAY I BROUGHT IN THE XUV FOR IT'S SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NOISE. THE ANSWER THE GMC DEALERSHIP GAVE ME WAS THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THE ENVOYS AND YUKON AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. CHANGING THE STEERING SHAFT WOULD NOT FIX IT AND LUBRICATING IT WON'T WORK EITHER. THE NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL IS LIKE A WINDOW BEING CLEANED WITH A SQUEEGEE. SO, AS OF TODAY...STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *JB

THEN, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE ON LOW BEAM AND THIS CAN ALSO BE A HAZARD DUE TO THE OVERRUNNING OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THIS 2004 GMC ENVOY XL HAS DONE THIS SINCE DAY ONE.

MY GMC ENVOY IS NOT A YEAR OLD....BOUGHT MAY 2004. AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. AS I AM APPROACHING THE TRAFFIC STOP AND I STEP ON THE BRAKES..MY VEHICLE IS NOT STOPPING UNTIL I GET VERY CLOSE TO TRAFFIC. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE BUT ITS MY ONLY LIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I TRIED TAKING IT TO MY DEALER, BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY JUST ADVISED ME THAT THE ABS IS DOING IT'S JOB.

MY DEALER SAYS THAT I SHOULD TRADE IT IN, BUT I OWE ALOT ON THIS VEHICLE ALREADY!!! WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? I HAD 3 INCIDENTS ALREADY. THE LAST INCIDENT DATE IS RECORDED BELOW.

Summary

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING ERATIECLY FOR A WHILE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG DRIVE IT UNTIL IT BREAKS. 3 MONTHS AND ABOUT 3,000 MILES LATER I HAD NOT HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM. UNTIL I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. I CHECKED FOR TRAFIC AND WENT TO PULL OUT EXCEPT THAT THE ENVOY WOULD BARELY MOVE. IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKES WERE ON OR SOMETHING WAS HOLDING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM MOVING. THE CROSS TRAFFIC WAS QUICKLY APPROACHING AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND HOPE THE OTHER PERSON DIDNT HIT ME AS I WAS STICKING OUT IN THE INTERSECTION. THE OTHER PERSON SWERVED AND MISSED ME. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND SLOWLY ROLLED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I STOPPED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AND TRIED TO START AGAIN. THE SAME RESULT OF NO ACCELERATION AS THE CAR SLOWLY BEGAN ROLLING AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TO A NORMAL SPEED BUT AT MUCH HIGHER RPM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IS WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. PARK AND REVERSE ALSO WORKED BUT NONE OF THE OTHER FORWARD GEARS WORKED MANUAL SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION OR SETTING AT ANY OTHER DRIVE POSITION. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BECAUSE OF A SERVICE BULLTIN PUT OUT BY GM. THEY TOLD ME THEY FIXED A WIRING HARNESS, REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CLEARED ALL THE CODES.*AK

I OWN A 2004 ENVOY XL WITH A V-8 MOTOR. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, WHO STATES THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM, THAT THE TRANSMISSION JERKS EXTREMELY BAD WHEN IT CHANGES INTO 2ND GEAR AND THEN AGAIN WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER ENVOY OWNERS THAT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED, AND ONE FRIEND HAD EVEN HAD HIS VEHICLE EXCHANGED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THE DEALER HAD VIRTUALLY DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OTHER DEALERS IN MY AREA DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH THE VEHICLE, AND IT ONLY HAS 6500 MILES ON IT. I'M BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THAT I'VE BEEN STUCK WITH A LEMON. *AK

Summary

I OWN A 2004 ENVOY. I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE PREVIOUSLY FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE HEADLIGHT AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD CONSTANTLY FLICKER AS YOU DROVE. THE DRIVERS DOOR ALSO LOCKED ITSELF WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEMS WERE INTERMITTENT, HAPPENING ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES A MONTH. SINCE THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED, I AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE. ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM HAD ARISEN ALSO. THE HORN, AT TIMES, WOULD NOT WORK. AGAIN THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM UNLESS IT WAS OCCURRING WHEN THEY HAD THEY WERE CHECKING IT. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THEY THEN TALKED WITH THE DEALER. THE CAR WAS KEPT FOR SEVERAL MORE DAYS AND RETURNED WITH THE DIAGNOSIS THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE LOCATED SINCE IT WAS NOT OCCURRING WHEN THEY HAD THE VEHICLE. THEY DID NOTE THAT THE HORN HAD QUIT WORKING AND THEN STARTED WORKING AGAIN WHILE THEY HAD THE VEHICLE BUT WERE STILL UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND CORRECT. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND WAS INFORMED THEM I CONSIDERED THESE PROBLEMS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE I WAS UNSURE IF THE FLICKERING CONDITION IN THE LIGHTS MIGHT CAUSE THEM TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, AND THE FACT THE HORN MAY OR MAY NOT WORK WHEN NEEDED. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO UNLESS THE PROBLEM BECAME CONSISTENT. *JB
