2004 GMC Envoy Xuv

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS MALFUNCTIONING, THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY MANY ENVOY/GMC OWNERS. SYMPTOMS ARE INDICATION OF MOVEMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, ANY WHERE UP TO MAXIMUM SPEEDOMETER INDICATION. AT TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STAY AT 0 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. SUBMITTED A SERVICE REQUEST TO GM BUT WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR

I HAD A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND HAD SEVERAL THINGS GOING WRONG. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS RADICAL, SOME DAYS IT WOULD WORK AND OTHER DAYS NOT. THE BACK WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DOWN FOR NO REASON AT ALL WHEN I WAS NOT EVEN IN OR NEAR THE CAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF. LIKE A FOOL I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV, ONLY OWNED IT 2 DAYS AND SMELLED GAS. LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE ENTIRE REAR OF THE UNDERSIDE OF IT WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. THERE WAS A SMALL PUDDLE ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOOK OUT THE GAS TANK AND THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FILLER NECK. STILL WAITING TO GET THE CAR BACK, CAN'T FIND PARTS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST ENVOY. *TR

ERRATIC SPEED ODOMETER READINGS, HAPPENS 3-4 TIMES WEEKLY. THIS HAPPENS FROM YOUR ACTUAL SPEED OF 40-60 MPH, YOU LOOK DOWN NEXT SECOND AND YOU ARE GOING 100-120 MPH PER ODOMETER. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP IT SAYS YOUR STILL GOING 90-110 MPH, ONLY WAY TO RESET YOUR ODOMETER IS TO PULL OVER AND RESTART YOUR CAR ABOUT 50-60 TIMES UNTIL IT SAYS 0 MPH. SOMETIMES THIS WONT LAST BUT 5 MIN... THIS ALSO INCREASES YOUR CARS MILEAGE. GMC WILL NOT REPAIR THIS WITH OUT CHARGING YOU 600 DOLLARS. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE ON THE ROAD AND NOT FAIR TO PEOPLE OWING CARS, OR BUYING CARS TO HAVE NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE ON A CAR NOR TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. UPDATED IVOQ 12/03/10. *TR

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 HAVE A 2004 SUV XLT. I BOUGHT MY CAR WITH 400 MILES ON IT. I HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED EARLY ON. WENT BACK TO GMC B/C THEY HAD NOT INSTALLED IT PROPERLY. I'VE HAD BOTH FRONT AND REAR SWAY BARS REPLACED AND BOTH KNOCK SENSORS REPLACED. MY MIDDLE WINDOW DECIDED TO QUIT WORKING AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED BECAUSE THE GUYS AT THE GMC SERVICE CENTER SAID THEY COULDN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT COULD BE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME $100 FOR A DIAGNOSIS!! MY RADIO/CD PLAYER IS ONLY HALF LIT UP AND STOPS WORKING WHEN IT GETS TOO HOT FROM PLAYING A CD... I AM CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FAN CLUTCH, THERMOSTAT AND A LEAK IN MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. MEANWHILE THE GUYS AT THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1,500 TO REPLACE MY KNOCK SENSORS AGAIN AND DIDN'T EVEN FIND THE LEAK WHEN THEY WERE "DIAGNOSING" MY ISSUE. I TRULY DO LOVE MY CAR, BUT I AM SUPER MAD ABOUT THE MIDDLE WINDOW AND SUPER MAD ABOUT ALL OF THESE ISSUES. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AND DO ALL OF THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCES. I THINK I KNOW WHY IT WAS ONLY ON THE MARKET FOR TWO YEARS. PLEASE HELP US GET OUR MIDDLE WINDOWS FIXED. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO CAUSE IT TO STOP WORKING. *TR
