2005 GMC Envoy

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE REPAIR FOR THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN MY 2005 ENVOY MALFUNCTIONED. DOES NOT REGISTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR MONTHS. I NOTICED AN INVESTIGATION WAS OPEN IN JANUARY 2010 BUT WAS HOPING A RECALL WOULD HAVE BEEN FILED BY NOW. I DID RESEARCH AND HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF THE SAME PROBLEM BEING REPORTED ON-LINE. I JUST WANTED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY IS DOING THE SAME THING WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I WILL FILL UP & THE GAS GAUGE WILL TELL ME THERE IS NO GAS IN IT UNTIL SO MANY MILES AND IT STILL WONT TELL ME THERE IS A FULL TANK , IT WILL JUST CREEP UP A LITTLE. JUST FROM READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM FROM 05 & 06 MODELS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED AN INACCURATE SPEED. WHEN DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER MAY SHOW A READING OF 80 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,100. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

IN JUNE OF 2007 I COULD NOT CLOSE EITHER OF THE REAR DOORS ON MY VEHICLE. THEY FAILED APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS APART. I WAS TRANSPORTING TWO GRAND CHILDREN AT THE TIME. THANK HEAVEN THEY WERE YOUNG ENOUGH TO REQUIRE CAR SEATS. WE WERE AT THE MERCY OF STRANGERS ON THE HIGHWAY. WITH DONATED ROPE TO SECURE THE DOORS WE MADE IT HOME. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLIES. I PAID $125 FOR LABOR ONLY. THE DEALER MUST HAVE REPLACED THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLIES WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. ON 10/12/10 THE LEFT REAR DOOR FAILED AGAIN! AFTER TYING THE DOOR AND USING DUCT TAPE TO SECURE IT I DROVE THE 30 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER. ALTHOUGH I HAD TO PAY $295.35 TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DO IT IMMEDIATELY. I AM NOW CARRYING ROPE AND DUCT TAPE IN ANTICIPATION OF FAILURE OF THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK. MY VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. MAINTENANCE IS FOLLOWED RELIGIOUSLY. (THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MANUAL TO INDICATE DOOR LOCKS SHOULD BE CHECKED. LUBRICATED BUT NOT CHECKED FOR POSSIBLE FAILURE.) THESE FAILURES ARE IN NO WAY MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN THAT CAN VERY WELL END IN INJURY. I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED THAT GM WOULD HAVE BEEN CONCERNED AND IF NOT ISSUE A RECALL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE LOCKS. HAVE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CHECK THESE LOCKS WHEN VEHICLES ARE BROUGHT IN FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE. NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THEY ACTUALLY REPLACE THE LOCKS WITH THE SAME LOCK ASSEMBLY THAT IS DOOMED FOR FAILURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW ON THE LIFTGATE SUDDENLY EXPLODED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE LIFTGATE WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC TWICE (THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF REPAIR) BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON THREE OTHER GM SUV'S (1999-2005 MODEL YEARS) IN MY FAMILY. COINCIDENCE? NO WAY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND ONE CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I OR ANY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY HAS DRIVEN (VW, CHRYSLER, HONDA, SUBARU, JEEP) BUT THAT THE SAME PART HAS FAILED ON FOUR GM SUV'S IN THE SAME FAMILY TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM AND THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS PART. *TR
