• 12/29/2007· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XL MALFUNCTIONED. ITS READINGS ARE VERY ERRATIC AND DO NOT CORRESPOND AT ALL WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE, READINGS OF 10 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND 100 MPH WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE READINGS VARY ANYWHERE FROM O MPH TO PAST 120 MPH AND ARE COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. THE FIRST SIGN WAS THE SPEEDOMETER STICKING AT 10 MPH EVEN AS I ACCELERATED; IT THEN BEGAN THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR MENTIONED ABOVE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING TO ME SINCE THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AS I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM INDIANA TO SOUTH CAROLINA WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED YESTERDAY AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *TR

• 12/20/2009· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  MY VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS ON A REGULAR BASIS 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. THE ISSUE OCCURS ON A REGULAR BASIS NORMALLY SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH, AFTER A FEW DAYS THE CLUSTER WILL RESET AND WORK AS NORMAL BUT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH. WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS I HAVE TO USE MY GPS NAVIGATOR TO TELL WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING. THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT IS APPROX. $650.00. *TR

• 12/19/2008· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  SMELL OF GAS INSIDE OF VEHICLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NOTICE OF GAS ON GARAGE FLOOR. TOOK VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AROUND THE NECK OF THE TANK WHERE THE REFILL HOSE CONNECTS. FOUND OUT THAT CHEVROLET AND GMC HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT # 07099A ON THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED ON THIS SCA BECAUSE OF THE VIN NUMBER. I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE ON RECALLS AND I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THE DEALER AGREED TO PAY 2/3'S OF THE BILL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY 1/3 OF IT. ON THE SCA SHEET IT LIST THE FOLLOWING FOR MY VEHICLE. THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF THE VIN STARTING WITH 46100001 TO 46116824. MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING SO BADLY THAT I CAN SMELL GAS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALSO I PARK MY VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE ALL THE TIME AND THIS IS DANGEROUS. I THINK THAT ALL OF THE 2002 TO 2004 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZERS AND GMC ENVOYS WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LEAKING GAS TANKS. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALER THAT THEY USE TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANKS. HE SAID THAT SINCE THEY HAVE CHANGED THE TANKS OUT ON THE COVERED VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE HAD NONE OF THE VEHICLES BACK IN WITH LEAKING GAS TANKS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. SOME PEOPLE WOULD NOT NOTICE THIS PROBLEM AND IF THEY HAVE AN ACCIDENT THIS COULD CAUSE MORE INJURIES AND POSSIBLE DEATHS. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE AN EXPLOSION AROUND SPARKS OR STATIC IN SOMEONE'S GARAGE. *TR

• 12/15/2004· POWER TRAIN

  WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING ERATIECLY FOR A WHILE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG DRIVE IT UNTIL IT BREAKS. 3 MONTHS AND ABOUT 3,000 MILES LATER I HAD NOT HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM. UNTIL I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. I CHECKED FOR TRAFIC AND WENT TO PULL OUT EXCEPT THAT THE ENVOY WOULD BARELY MOVE. IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKES WERE ON OR SOMETHING WAS HOLDING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM MOVING. THE CROSS TRAFFIC WAS QUICKLY APPROACHING AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND HOPE THE OTHER PERSON DIDNT HIT ME AS I WAS STICKING OUT IN THE INTERSECTION. THE OTHER PERSON SWERVED AND MISSED ME. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND SLOWLY ROLLED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I STOPPED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AND TRIED TO START AGAIN. THE SAME RESULT OF NO ACCELERATION AS THE CAR SLOWLY BEGAN ROLLING AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TO A NORMAL SPEED BUT AT MUCH HIGHER RPM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IS WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. PARK AND REVERSE ALSO WORKED BUT NONE OF THE OTHER FORWARD GEARS WORKED MANUAL SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION OR SETTING AT ANY OTHER DRIVE POSITION. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BECAUSE OF A SERVICE BULLTIN PUT OUT BY GM. THEY TOLD ME THEY FIXED A WIRING HARNESS, REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CLEARED ALL THE CODES.*AK

AND NOT GO DOWN WHEN I SLOW DOWN. OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD WORK FINE. THIS WENT ON ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT CORRECT ITSELF. IT FINALLY STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER COMING TO REST ABOVE 120 MPH. ON 12/07/07 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE INTERMENT PANEL AT A COST OF AROUND $470.00. THEY ALSO SAID IF I DIDN'T HAVE OVER 60,000 MILES ON MY CAR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

I ALREADY HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE SCHEDULED AND BROUGHT THIS SC07076 LETTER TO DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT CASE. DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR RECOMMENDED TO HAVE THIS SC07076 SERVICE PERFORMED AS PREVENTIVELY MAINTENANCE EVENTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXHIBITING THESE SYMPTOMS. THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AND IMMEDIATELY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHOW SYMPTOMS IN THE EXACT NATURE THAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE SC07076 LETTER, FUEL FUMES, FUEL LEAK WHEN FILLING, SES LIGHT ON... TOOK VEHICLE BACK AND DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY WILL NOT PERFORM FREE SERVICE EVENTHOUGH IT SHOULD STILL BE COVERED UNDER STIPULATIONS OF SC07076 LETTER AS WELL AS THEIR WARRANTY POLICY. CURRENTLY THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES SINCE MY CHILDREN AND I GET HEADACHES FROM GAS FUMES WHEN NEEDING TO USE THE VEHICLE AS FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY SINCE FUEL LEAKS FROM GAS TANK NOW. I AM TRYING TO PREVENT ANY INJURY OR DEATH, MINE, A PASSENGER OR NEAR BY PERSON. APPARENTLY GMC AND DEALER ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS BUT NOW IGNORE THE SITUATION DUE TO THEIR CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION. *TR

• 12/10/2007· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND WHEN THE OIL WAS JUST RECENTLY CHANGED THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AT THE POINT WHERE THE FILLER MET THE MAIN BODY OF THE TANK. HE SAID SINCE THE TANK WAS PLASTIC THE GAS WAS CAUSING THE DETERIORATION AND THE ENTIRE TANK WOULD CAUSE A MAJOR ISSUE. AFTER CHECKING WITH OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF THE 3 YR WARRANTY PERIOD AND SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN ARIZONA AND NOT CALIFORNIA IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED GMC WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE PART OF A REPLACEMENT PLAN THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE PAYING FOR, NOT LIKE A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM (CHANGING TIRES, OIL CHANGES, SPARK PLUGS, ETC.) CUTTING CORNERS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE LIGHTER AND THEN NOT SUPPORTING THE CHANGE IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO BE POPULAR. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF EVERY COUPLE DAYS(HAVE VIDEO, BUT SANDY SANSING OF PENSACOLA FLORIDA SAYS THERE NOTHING WRONG) VEHICLE JERKS AT STOPS AND STARTS. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP W/ "NOTHING WRONG" THEY FINALLY DECIDED THAT A O2 SENSOR WAS BAD AT 71K. ENVOY HAD BEEN BACK IN THE SHOP AT A COST OF 80.00 BUCKS TWICE SINCE THEN BECAUSE OF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AND THE BRAKES ARE FAILING, THE "ABS BRAKE" LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON SO THEY SAY IT CANT BE THE BRAKES. WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND A SECOND LATER THEY WILL CATCH AND BEGIN TO STOP VEHICLE, AS IF THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS OBSTRUCTED AND SKIPS A FEW TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR THOSE FEW SECONDS BUT DOESN'T STAY ON LONG AND THEY SAY IT ISN'T THROWING ANY CODES. PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY SO THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID ITS A UNFOUNDED PROBLEM. THE THERMOSTATS ASSEMBLY WITH OTHER PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND DATES THAT I'VE TAKEN THIS POS INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC VEHICLE. I HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD PICKUP TRUCK ALSO AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE SHOP ONCE.
