THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY, SOMETIMES READING TOO LOW, AND OTHER TIMES READING TOO HIGH. I WAS CHARGED $511 BY A GM DEALER TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE INCIDENT DATE INDICATED IS APPROXIMATE. WITH REGARD TO NUMBER OF FAILURES, THIS IS THE APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF TIMES I INITIALLY OBSERVED THE SPEEDOMETER READING TOO LOW OR TOO HIGH. EACH FAILURE LASTED FOR A NUMBER OF DAYS AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO READ CORRECTLY FOR A WEEK OR TWO BEFORE THE NEXT FAILURE. *TR

1) THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING A FEW MONTHS AGO. 2) MY INSPECTION STICKER IS NOW DUE TO BE REPLACED, BUT I CAN'T GET ONE WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING. 3) CUSTOMER SERVICE THRU GMC WAS NO HELP AT ALL. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WHICH I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR, THEN THEY WILL REVIEW THE CASE. OH HOW NICE, REVIEW IT JUST TO TELL ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?! I'VE SEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ON THE INTERNET. WHY HASN'T ANYTHING BEEN DONE? IF YOUR EVERYDAY AVERAGE JOE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WORK/PRODUCTS HE/SHE PUTS OUT, WHY NOT THE BIG CORPORATIONS?

RQ17002 · Loss Of Headlights

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Exterior Lighting:headlights
The subject vehicles are model year (MY) 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2004-2007 Buick Rainier, 2003-2008 Isuzu Ascender, 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X, 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003-2006 Chevrolet SSR, 2005-2009 Buick Lacrosse, and 2006-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. This scope includes the Trailblazer/Envoy variants: 2002-2006 Envoy XL/Trailblazer EXT and 2004-2005 Envoy XUV. The original scope of this investigation was expanded to include all vehicles equipped with the subject Headlight Driver Module (HDM). The focus of the investigation was to determine whether actions performed by General Motors adequately addressed any unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety in the subject vehicles concerning the headlights and the HDM that controls them.Under normal electrical load and environmental conditions, the HDM can overheat inside the Underhood Electrical Center (UEC). This can cause the module to fail and result in a simultaneous loss of both low beam headlights and both daytime running lights (DRLs), often with no warning or prior detectability to the driver. This failure can be intermittent or permanent. No other exterior lights are affected. High beams, turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights are still operational.General Motors addressed this issue with 2 recalls (14V755 & 15V519) and a special coverage program (N172091910). In view of the recalls and special coverage program implemented by GM and the vehicle high beams continuing to operate, ODI has tentatively concluded that the actions taken by GM mitigate any unreasonable risk to safety posed by HDM failure in the subject vehicles.Accordingly, the investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.The ODI reports cited above are available for review online at NHTSA.gov under the identification numbers in the attached document.
