2004 GMC Envoy

THIS VEHICLE HAS AND HAD MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE NEW. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE AT 75000 MILES. NOW DOOR LOCKS INTERMITTENT. WON'T OPEN OR LOCK BY REMOTE. REAR WIPER GOES OUT WHEN DOOR LOCKS STOP. REAR DOOR LOCK OUT ALSO. CAN LOCK DOORS FROM INSIDE AND MANUALLY LOCK DRIVER DOOR BUT REAR HATCH WILL STAY UNLOCKED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT AT A MALL OR EVEN IN MY DRIVEWAY. SOMEONE COULD ENTER MY VEHICLE AND HURT SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY WHEN LOCKS ARE OUT. IN MY DRIVEWAY THEY COULD GET ACCESS TO MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER AND ENTER MY HOUSE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REMOVE MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER EVERYTIME I ENTER MY HOME. I THINK THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. I'M RETIRED AND CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR. I'VE SEEN THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT NO FIX FROM GM. *TR

STOPPED AT STREET LIKE, LIGHT WENT GREEN STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AND CAR GOES DEAD. NO LIGHTS ON DASH, NOTHING SHOWING, JUST STOPS ABRUPTLY. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS TRIED RESTARTING CAR AND IT CAME BACK ON WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. P0606 PCM FAILURE CODE DISPLAYED. COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BY SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME OR KILLED IF I WAS TRYING TO TURN LEFT AT INTERSECTION. *TR

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

THE IGNITION BEGAN TO STICK -- COULD NOT TURN THE KEY ALL OF THE WAY TO THE OFF POSITION. HAD TO JIGGLE IT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE YOU COULD TURN IT SO YOU COULD TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. AT THE SAME TIME, YOU COULD NOT TAKE THE CAR OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. THE SHIFTER WOULD STICK. NONE OF THESE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING. ONLY WHEN PARKED. ALSO, BEGINNING JAN. 1, 2014, THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS WENT OUT IN THE CAR. SEARS SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WIRING IN THE BACK. *TR

AROUND AUGUST 2012, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER OF THE SUV BEGAN TO INDICATE INCORRECT READINGS. THE SPEEDOMETER GOES WEEKS WORKING FINE, THEN WILL READ THE INCORRECT SPEED FOR MONTHS. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE JUST "HANGS." THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE DASH CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED AT A COST OF AT LEAST $600, POSSIBLY MORE. THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER WAS NOT CHANGED. IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER 2004 GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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

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

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
