2005 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING THE ENVOY OVER STEVENS PASS ( WASHINGTON STATE) THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN READING A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER SPEED THAN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING...AT FIRST SHE TRIED TO SPEED UP FEARING THAT SHE HAD ABSENTMINDEDLY BEGAN TO SLOW BUT SOON REALIZED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO REFLECT EVEN LOWER SPEEDS. AFTER GOING TO THE INTERNET I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS FOR THE YEARS 2003 THRU 2007 AND ACTUALLY THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED. ( I DON'T KNOW THE DISPOSITION) THE REMEDY IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER AT A COST OF AROUND $500. SEEMS UNFAIR CONSIDERING THIS IS A PROBLEM OF GMS' AND APPARENTLY KEPT SECRET WHILE CHARGING THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR PROBLEMS . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL IS PEGGED AT 120 MPH AND STAYS THERE ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH GMC PRODUCTS. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MANY GMC PRODUCTS BUT DOSE NOT INCLUDE THE ENVOY LINE. WHY IS THIS? NO ACCIDENT SO FAR BUT VERY UNSAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE WHERE YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2005 GMC ENVOY XL A YEAR AGO AND AFTER THREE MONTHS OF OWNING IT THE SPEEDOMETER HAS QUIT ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE EVERYDAY TO GO TO SCHOOL AND NEVER KNOW WHAT SPEED I AM ACTUALLY TRAVELING. AT STOP SIGNS MY CAR HAS JUMPED FORWARD ON ME SEVERAL TIMES. LATELY THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WE CONTACTED A GM DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR AND THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS COME IN WITH THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD COST US BETWEEN TWO AND THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX IT. WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT KIND OF MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY GENERAL MOTORS. IT'S THEIR DEFECT! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERYDAY WHILE DRIVING MY TWO KIDS AROUND. *TR

GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AT MOST TIMES, NEVER GIVES ACCURATE MEASURE OF TANK FILL. ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON SPORADICALLY, ALTHOUGH DIAGNOSIS BY ENGINE TECH CONFIRMS NO BAD CODES ARE CAUSING THIS WARNING LIGHT TO GLOW. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND TALKING WITH DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECTIVE PART PROBLEM THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON. HUNDREDS, PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF FRUSTRATED DRIVERS. IT EFFECTS GMC ENVOYS, CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS, AND OTHER GM MAKES IN 2004 - 2006. THANK GOODNESS TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE KEEPING THEM AFLOAT! GOD FORBID THEY ACTUALLY SUPPORT THEIR PRODUCTS AND MAINTAIN CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND INTEGRITY! *TR

#1 PROBLEM-- I ONLY HAVE 40,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND BOUGHT IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. MY FUEL TANK DOES NOT WORK-- IT FLOATS AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK #2 PROBLEM- DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT-- I LOOKED DOWN AT MY SPEEDOMETER AND IT WAS STUCK OVER 120 MPH. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH GMC AND TELL EVERYONE I KNOW NEVER TO BUY ANY CHEVY VEHICLES-- THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING SO SOON ON A NEWER VEHICLE. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WORKS WHEN IT WANTS. THE CAR CAN BE IN PARK, HOWEVER SPEEDOMETER MAY READ 30MPH. JUST RECENTLY I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF STATE AND WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND THE NEEDLE WENT TO ZERO. AND IN A LIKE MANNER, ON THE WAY BACK, MY SPEEDOMETER READ TEN MILES BELOW MY ACTUAL SPEED AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET A TICKET. FROM ASKING AROUND MANY CHEVY AND GMC VEHICLES WITH A SIMILAR GAUGE FACE HAVE EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THEIR GAUGES. PLEASE HELP ME. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PART COST AROUND $300 PLUS THE PRICE OF LABOR. I HAVE HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER WITH MY GMC ENVOY XL 2005. *TR
