2004 GMC Envoy Xuv

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENCLAVE XUV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH, THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 186,000.

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT CONNECTIONS LOCATED IN THE REAR TAILGATE ARE SEVERELY CORRODED AND WILL NOT LIGHT UP WHEN BRAKING. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT ALLOW PASSING OF STATE INSPECTION. THE ENTIRE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND WIRE HARNESS MUST TO REPLACED TO PASS STATE VEHICLE INSPECTION. THIS CONDITION IS CONTINUOUS, WHEN PARKED, WHEN DRIVING (WE FOLLOWED IT AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF IT JIGGLED ON), I HAVE NOTHING TO UPLOAD BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT LIGHT UP.

I WAS DOING A REAR BRAKE JOB AND SMELLED GASOLINE, SO I WENT UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED THERE WAS A WET SPOT ON THE REAR OF THE FUEL TANK. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION I FOUND THE INLET PART OF THE FUEL TANK WAS BROKEN AND ALLOWING FUEL TO EXIT THE TANK, CAN WE SAY FIRE RISK, SO I WENT ONLINE TO TRY TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT TANK AND I FOUND WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD HAD THIS SAMEPROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL IS IN PLACE ?????

CAR WAS BOUGHT IN 2004. WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE AIRBAG LIGHT FIX BUT IT WAS NEVER RESOLVED IT WAS SAID TO BE FINE. NO HAZARD. NEVER INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH. CARS TURNS ON AND IT PROMPT YOU TO CHECK AIRBAGS. TODAY I WAS WATCHING THE NEWS AND SOMEONE MENTIONED THIS SITE. I WANTED TO SEE IT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL

VEHICLE HAS HAD STRONG ODOR OR RAW FUEL COMING FROM DRIVING SIDE WHEEL WELL. HAD MECHANIC CHECK THIS OUT AND I WAS TOLD THIS HAS A FUEL LEAK NEAR THE FUEL FILTER / FILLER NECK AND POSSIBLE GAS TANK ISSUE WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM GM OWNERS BUT RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ADVISED. INFORMED GM OF ISSUE ON 10/26 BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX. THIS WILL COST UPWARDS OF $1100-$1600 TO FIX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE THE LIFTGATE, IT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2004 ENVOY XUV, IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED, CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY AND I STARTED IT TO GO TO THE STORE AND IT STARTED CHUGGING AND THEN ALMOST DIED, BUT THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH.TURNED OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED, AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS STILL THERE SO MY HUSBAND HOOKED UP HIS CODE READER AND IT HAD THE CODE P1680 ( THROTTLE BODY POSTIONING CENSOR.) AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT'S DONE IT BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS JUST FLASHED IT WOULD NEVER STAY ON SO WE COULD READ THE CODE. BUT IN ORDER TO FIX THIS YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW THROTTLE BODY HOUSING BECAUSE THE CENSOR IS BUILT INTO IT. AND IT ISN'T CHEAP. AT AUTOZONE IT IS $280.00. AND YOU HAVE TO ALSO BUY A GASKET FOR IT AND NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS BECAUSE TO REMOVE THE THROTTLE BODY HOUSING WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE MANIFOLD YOU HAVE YO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD ALSO. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GM EXPECT US TO BE ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE IF IT'S ALWAYS SO MUCH MONEY FOR PARTS FOR THESE CARS. AND I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY BACK TAILGATE AND BOTH BIG WINDOW MOTORS. I HAVE REPLACED ONE BUT STILL SAVING UP TO REPLACE THE MIDDLE ONE AND I'VE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY GAS TANK WHICH IS $677.00 OR MORE AT THE DEALERS FOR A NEW GAS TANK BECAUSE U CAN'T JUST FIX THE FILLER HOSE. SUCH FAILURES WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE. SO I THINK GMC NEEDS TO TAKE A LONGER LOOK AT THESE GMC ENVOY XUVS AND GET SOME RECALLS OUT TO FIX THESE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS.

STARTED SMELLING GAS, STARTED DRIPPING FUEL. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE FUEL LINES COMING OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AT THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. DRIPPING GAS COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. LEARNED THERE WAS A TSB ON THIS AND EXTENDED WARRENTY DUE TO CORROSION OF FUEL LINES. THE WARRENTY WAS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150K. THE VEHICLE IS NOW 11 YEARS OLD. I HAVE LIVED IN THE SAME HOUSE FOR EIGHT YEARS AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL OR TSB NOTICE FROM GMC. OVER 800$ FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP AND TO DROP GAS TANK FOR REPAIRS. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 IT ONLY HAS 67K ON IT.

ABOUT 9-10 MONTHS AGO STARTED NOTICING A FUEL SMELL AROUND BACK OF TRUCK. REPLACED GAS CAP, BUT THE ODOR CONTINUED. INQUIRED AT LOCAL DEALER, BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. TRIED A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT I HAD USED BEFORE, BUT AT THAT TIME, THEY CLAIMED THEY FOUND NO CAUSE EITHER. ON MY THIRD TRIP TO LOCAL MECHANIC, WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A CRACK IN MY FILLER/GAS TANK CAUSING THE SMELL. FINALLY THEY FOUND THE CAUSE ONLY TO INFORM ME THAT NOW MY TRUCK IS BEYOND THE MILEAGE AND/OR DATE OF THE 'RECALL' THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT BY GMC ABOUT MY GAS TANK, AND IT WILL ONLY COST "ABOUT" $1200 TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK. I'VE RESIDED IN THE SAME HOME WELL LONGER THAN I'VE OWNED MY TRUCK, SO MY HOME ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ARE ALL STILL THE SAME AS THEY WERE THEN, AND HAD NO NOTIFICATION THAT THEIR WAS ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON MY TRUCK. HAVE TRIED EMAILING AND SNAIL MAILING GMC ON MANY NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO SEE IF I COULD GET ANY HELP WITH THE UNKNOWN OF RECALL, BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY ANSWER WHAT'S SO EVER FROM THEM AT ALL. OBVIOUSLY, IF I HAD THE DISPOSABLE INCOME, I WOULD NOT BE PURSUING ANOTHER SOLUTION, BUT LIKE MANY, I CONTINUE TO LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND MY TRUCK IS THE MAIN LIFELINE TO MAINTAIN WHAT LITTLE I CAN PROVIDE. IF YOU COULD PASS ALONG ANY INFORMATION ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALL ASSISTANCE I CAN RECEIVE, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS CORRODED AND THE ODOR WAS A RESULT OF A FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON, INDICATING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE BAG WILL EITHER NOT DEPLOY, OR SUDDENLY DEPLOY FOR NO REASON UNLESS I REPLACE IT. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALLS...BUT IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT.

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS PRESENT AND THE "SERVICE VEHICLE SOON" LIGHT WAS LIT. USING THE ON-STAR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE, THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDICATED A FUEL SYSTEM LEAK OR LOOSE GAS CAP. HOWEVER, UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE, WHICH IS PART OF THE FUEL TANK, WAS FRACTURED AND LEAKING FUEL. IN CHECKING WITH GMC, THERE WAS AN EXISTING NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE07014 CONCERNING THIS DEFECT FOR MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE. A GMC SPECIAL COVERAGE POLICY EXTENSION (07099A) WAS ALSO IN EFFECT SINCE 2007 FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES TO EFFECTIVELY REPAIR THIS KNOWN FUEL TANK DEFECT. THIS REPAIR INVOLVES A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. HOWEVER, GMC REFUSED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND COVER THE COST OF REPAIR BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE LISTED RANGE. IN TRYING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE IT WAS FOUND THAT THESE FUEL TANKS ARE ON BACKORDER FROM GM AS I SUSPECT MANY GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE NOW BECOMING AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS DEFECT AND WERE NOT INFORMED AT THE INITIAL RECALL BECAUSE LIKE MY VEHICLE, THEY WERE NOT ON THE VIN NUMBER COVERAGE LIST. OBVIOUSLY THE GM VIN NUMBER RANGE FOR THIS DEFECT IS INCORRECT AND SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL KNOWN 2002-2004 ENVOY, ENVOY XL AND ENVOY XUV MODEL VEHICLES. THE COST OF REPAIR WAS OVER $1400. GMC IS THE ONLY SOURCE FOR THIS FUEL TANK AS THERE ARE NO OTHER OEM VENDORS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT OF WHICH I BELIEVE MANY GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE NOT AWARE OF

WHILE GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS JUST GO OUT WITH ONLY THE PARKING LIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS WORKING. ALSO MOST OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DO NOT WORK INCLUDING THE GAS GAUGE. AFTER SOME INTERNET RESEARCH MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES.

BOUGHT NEW. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MOST STARTED OUT OF WARRANTY. ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING, HAD TO REPLACE. RADIO SYSTEM COMES AND GOES, MOST OF THE TIME NOT WORKING. A/C HEATING BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. DIFFERENT COMPONENT LIKE WINDOW, WIPERS, DOOR LOCK JUST OPERATE ON THEY OWN THEN LOCK UP. ISSUES WITH IGNITION. CAN'T REMOVE THE KEY. NOW REAR WINDOW GOES DOWN ON ITS OWN. VEHICLE WON'T START, REAR TAIL GATE WON'T OPERATE. ONLY WAY TO START IS BY JUMPING BUT ONCE TURNED OFF THE BATTERY DRAINS SO CAN'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE YOU'RE U NEVER KNOW IF IT GOING TO START AGAIN. *TR

FIRST NOTICED REDUCED RADIO VOLUME AS IF SPEAKERS WERE NOT COMPLETELY CONNECTED. THEY RADIO WOULD WORK CORRECTLY FROM TIME TO TIME. SERVICE DEPT SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE DASH SYSTEM. THEN NOTICED REAR DOOR/TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN AS A DOOR, NEXT THE TAILGATE STOPPED FUNCTIONING ALL TOGETHER; THIS MAKES THE REAR PART OF THE XUV USELESS AND DANGEROUS. DEALER STATED THAT IS ELECTRONIC AND THAT ALL TAILGATE/REAR DOOR HINGES RUSTED DUE TO WATER COMING IN WHERE REAR WINDOW IS/ ESTIMATE IS OVER $650.00 AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN!!! NEXT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK EXCEPT BY MANUAL UNLOCKING FROM INSIDE AND SOMETIME THE KEY WILL NOT UNLOCK TO DRIVER'S DOOR. KEY FOB WILL NOT WORK ON DRIVER'S DOOR, TAILGATE/REAR DOOR; HOWEVER, KEY FOB WORKS ON PASSENGER DOORS. DEALER STATED THAT THE TAILGATE/REAR DOOR ISSUE HAS A HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING SO WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL???? WHEN WILL GMC MAKE THIS RIGHT??? *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FROM WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RADIO STARTS GOING UP /DOWN BY ITSELF,THEN THE NEXT DAY MY WINDOWS MADE A CLICKING NOISE NOW THEY WANT LET UP/DOWN .ALSO THE BACK TAILGATE WAS WORKING UNTIL THIS HAPPEN MY WINDOW IN BACK WANT LET UP/DOWN NOR WILL THE SUNROOF CONTROLS WANT WORK.ALL THIS HAPPEN AT ONCE !!!!!! THE FUSES WAS CHECK NOTHING FOUND. *TR

I GOT A DEFECTED PASSENGER AIRBAG CODE FROM MECHANIC. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE RECALL ON AIRBAGS UP TO 2003 ON MY VEHICLE. THIS CODE COMES UP REGULARLY FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AS THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE 02 SENSOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL WAS LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

BOUGHT NEW AND LOVED THE RIDE.LIST PRICE WAS OVER $42,000. WELL MAINTAINED. 1ST LOST SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES. REPLACED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. 40K MILES REPLACED BLOWER MOTOR. 60K MILES WINDOW BEHIND BACKSEAT JUST DROPPED. REPLACED REGULATOR (I THINK). 62K MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - REPLACED FUEL CAP THEN TOOK TO DEALER - $600 REPLACED A OXYGEN SENSORS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER WITH SAME CODE. JUST DRIVING WITH IT NOW. 68K MILES - REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP.89K MILES - DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW MODULE BURNT - REPLACED. 91K MILES - WHILE REPLACING DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT FOUND WIRE TO LIGHT WAS MELTED. 98K MILES REAR SPEAKERS QUITE WORKING. PROBABLY A COUPLE OF THINGS I HAVE FORGOTTEN. 8-12-14 IT HAS 99360 MILES ON IT AND STILL LOVE THE RIDE BUT HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM. I HAVE HAD 7 GM VEHICLES AND WILL HAVE NO MORE AFTER THIS ONE.SOME OF THESE ITEMS HAVE HAD A RECALL BUT NOT FOR THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PARTS ARE IN THIS ONE AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES. *TR

CAR WILL NOT ENGAGE IN PARK POSITION. CAR WILL ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARDS CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS OF INJURY OR ANOTHER PERSON OR CAR. *TR

SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING BECAME DISENGAGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. SHIFTER LEVER FLOATED FREELY THROUGH GEARS. WHEN ENGINE STOPPED, IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK BUT REMAINED IN NEUTRAL AND BEGAN FREELY ROLLING BACKWARDS IN MY DRIVEWAY. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE USED TO STOP THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND REMOVING THE IGNITION KEY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES WOULD CONTINUE TO ILLUMINATE CAUSING THE BATTERY POWER TO DRAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. UPDATED 9/12/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR WINDOWS AND GATE FAILED. THE IGNITION FAILURE WAS A DAILY PROBLEM. THE IGNITION STAYS ON WHICH RESULTS IN BATTERY FAILURE. THERE IS NO SAFETY RELEASE FOR THE REAR GATE. UPDATED 1/27/2015 *JS

WE BOUGHT NEW A 2004 GMC XUV. FROM THE BEGINNING WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN PARKED THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON IF YOU DO NOT WIGGLE THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN A FEW DAYS YOU COME BACK THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WE KEEP A BATTERY JUMPER IN THE CAR SINCE NEW SO WE ARE NOT LEFT STRANDED. THE REAR AND MIDDLE WINDOW HAVE FAILED FOUR TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CANNOT OPEN THE BACK GATE OR OPEN THE ROOF WHICH I FEEL IS DANGEROUS. YOU CANNOT GET IN OR OUT FOR THERE IS NO RELEASE. FIXED FOUR TIMES AND THE WINDOW WENT DOWN AGAIN AT 74,000 MILES AND GATE IS LOCK AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER AND PRIVATE MECHANICS BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WE NOW HAVE A SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE. GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON THEN GO OFF ERRATICALLY. AT THE SAME TIME OUR AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS ONLY ON OUR FEET. THE MECHANICS SAY THE ENTIRE CONTROL PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FIVE MONTHS LATER THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS AGAIN. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE OUR LAST GM CAR. *TR

BATTERY DIED, COULD NOT OPEN REAR OF VEHICLE, TO RETRIEVE PET DOG INSIDE. THEIR SHOULD BE AN EMERGENCY RELEASE. *TR

WENT TO REPLACE HEAD LIGHT BULB TO FIND OUT THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE WIRING DO TO IT WAS MELTED. THE FILLER NECK ON THE FUEL TANK IS CRACKED, CAUSING AN EVAP LEAK IN WITCH I FOUND OUT THROUGH A GARAGE AND 5 DIFF. SALVAGE YARDS. AND LAST, 6 DIFF. TIMES WILL DRIVING I LOST POWER WILL DRIVING. I HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF, WAIT ABOUT 3 SEC. BEFORE IT WOULD START AND GO. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND THE REST HAPPENED WHILE ON A REGULAR ROAD. I EXPLAINED TO MY WIFE WHAT TO DO IF THIS HAPPENS TO HER AND IT DID ONCE, THE OTHERS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES ARE ERRATIC. SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SOMETIMES READS UP TO 30 MPH ABOVE OR BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. CONCURRENTLY THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS READING AT ITS MAX AND WILL NOT RETURN TO 0 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE CARS WITH THESE PANELS. *TR

MY CAR OVERHEATED ON A NORMAL DAY, ABOUT 80 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I CHECKED AND REPLACED A DEFECTIVE THERMOSTAT, AND STARTED THE ENGINE ONLY TO FIND IT MISFIRING BADLY FOR THE FIRST TIME. I GAINED ADVISE FROM A LOCAL AUTO STORE AND CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OLD ONES, I FOUND THREE OF THE SIX COVERED IN OIL. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD AND REPLACE THE TUBE SEALS BUT THE PLASTIC MANIFOLD COVER WOULD NOT COME OFF AS INDICATED IN A GM MECHANICS MANUAL. THIS IS THE LAST OF SEVERAL PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THE 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV 2WD INLINE 6. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE OILY SPARK PLUG ISSUE AND CRACKED MANIFOLD BUT NO TSBS. LAST YEAR, I HAD MY A/C COMPRESSOR GO OUT AND REPLACED, MY GAS TANK LEAK AND REPLACED UNDER A 'SPECIAL WARRANTY', A DIAGNOSIS THAT MY HEATER CORE IS BAD, ALL THREE MOTOR MOUNTS GO OUT AND REPLACED, AND A NUMBER OF VARIOUS SMALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS GO OUT. I NEED GMC TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES OUTSTANDING WITH MY VEHICLE AND EXPECT APPROPRIATE ACTION FROM THEM. I SPENT WELL OVER $40000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND ITS NOT EVEN 10 YEARS OLD YET. GM HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN FOR LONG LIFE OF THEIR ENGINES AND BODY FRAMES, AND HAVE SAID SO ON THEIR BEHALF. THEY NEED TO LIVE UP TO THE REPUTATION I HAVE SO LOYALLY PAINTED FOR THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMV ENVOY SUV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, FUEL WAS SEEN LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS ADVISED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE INLET CHECK VALE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. *TR

WAS SITTING IN PARKING LOT, CLOSED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, TURNED KEY IGNITION ON AND PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CAR WAS NOT OUT OF PARK. BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED. CAR WAS NOT STRUCK BY ANYTHING AROUND IT. PREVIOUSLY MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED IN THE SAME FASHION. PARKED CAR, NOT IN GEAR. *TR

ON JUNE 8 2013 BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT POWER ADJUSTMENTS CEASED TO OPERATE OR RESPOND IN ANY WAY. BOTH SEAT STUCK IN A FULL BACK POSITION. THE NEXT DAY, JUNE 9 2013, THE VEHICLE WAS AT IDLE AND IN PARK FOR NO MORE THAN 4 OR 5 MINUTES, WHEN AN ODD SMELL WAS NOTICED. A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE TO INCLUDE SPARKS AND A LOT OF SMOKE THEN ERUPTED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DRIVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND THE PASSENGER AND 18 MONTH OLD CHILD, AND DRIVER ALL EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DIED, AND THE SMOKE CLEARED. WAITED 15 MINUTES, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF THE NEXT DAY, JUNE 10 2013, A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER DIAGNOSES. *TR

OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING SINCE 2010. CHANGED OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, BUT OIL GAUGE STILL NOT READING. SPEEDOMETER GAUGE STARTED GIVING FALSE READINGS SINCE EARLY 2011. FAILS TO READ CORRECTLY SINCE, READING UP TO 200MPH @ REAL SPEEDS UP TO 40MPH. ABOUT A YEAR LATER RPM GAUGE FAILED AND STOPPED WORKING SINCE EARLY 2012. WE NEVER KNOW WHAT SPEED WE ARE GOING WITH A LOT OF RISKS INVOLVED, INCLUDING SPEEDING TICKETS OR ELSE. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM, WITH COSTLY REPAIRS AND SOMETIME NO FIX. HOPING FOR GMC TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED. GM HAS A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRENTY ON MODEL YEARS 2008-2009 ONLY. YET THEY ARE THE SAME MANIFOLD AND SAME ENGINE ON ALL MODEL YEARS. THERE ARE 100'S OF REPORTS OF CRACKED MANIFOLDS ONLINE, WITH ALL MODEL YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH OUT ANY WARNINGS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A CRASH. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

WHEN IN TRAFFIC TRAVELING ACROSS STATES ON HIGHWAY AT 55-65 MPH LEFT LANE(SCARY) I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN THE GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 OF A TANK NOW WHEN TANK IS FULL IT READ 1/2 AND AT TIMES THE GAUGE FLOATS AROUND FULL TO EMPTY WHEN DRIVING SOME TIME IT READS EMPTY WHEN I PUT 10 GALLONS IN WAS TOLD A BAD FUEL SENDER IN TANK I READ OTHER REPORTS THAT G M RECALL WILL ONLY PAY HALF THE COST TO REPAIR?? *TR

MISFIRE WAS DETECTED DEALER CODE #P038. DEALER CLAIM WAS A SPARK PLUG PROBLEM. SPARK PLUGS AND CABLES WERE REPLACE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER TECHNICIAN CLAIMED THERE IS A PROLBLEM WITH THE TANK THAT IS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THEY STATED THE PROBLEM IS ON MOST OF THIS NEW TANKS. JUST WONDER IF THIS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM SINCE IT CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION AT ANY TIME ON THE ROAD. *JS

THE REAR TAILGATE IS NOT OPERATING AT ALL. IT WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED, IT SWINGS DOWN ON ITS OWN. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD IN THE LATCHED POSITION BY A RATCHET STRAP. IT HAS ALSO SWUNG OPEN ON ITS OWN, WHILE IT WAS STILL LATCHING PROPERLY AND THE REAR WINDOW HAS DROPPED ITSELF ON ITS OWN. *TR

I WAS IN ACCIDENT ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4, 2012 IN MY 2004 ENVOY XUV. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 40 MPH WHEN ANOTHER CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND WITHIN 1 SECOND I T-BONED THE SIDE OF THEIR CAR. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY ALL I ENDED UP WITH WAS MINOR BRUSES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE SEATBELT STRAP. THIS WAS TO BE THE BEST ENGINEERED SUV GMC HAD EVER MADE AND I WAS SHOCKED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

A YEAR AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY NEW 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECH SAID I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP BECAUSE OF A SMALL VAPOR LEAK. I BOUGHT THE NEW CAP AND A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AGAIN I BOUGHT ANOTHER CAP. FROM THEN I HAD BEEN TOLD BY DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT THE VAPOR LEAK IS COMING FROM THE NOZZLE THE CAP ATTACHES TO BUT TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD I WOULD FAIL MY SMOG CHECK BECAUSE THE VAPOR LEAK ACCORDING TO THEIR DIAGNOSTICS WAS NOT COMING FROM THE NOZZLE, BUT SOMEWHERE ELSE NEAR THE TANK. AFTER RESEARCH ON RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS, I FOUND OUT THAT MY PROBLEM WAS SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS, THAT BEING THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN 05-06-04-014A: INFO - DIAGNOSTIC AIDS FOR TROUBLE CODES P0440, P0455 & / OR P0442 FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE CRACK, AND THAT THE 2002 - 2004 ENVOY MAY HAVE ISSUES WITH A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK AS WELL. I CHECKED OUT THE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM AND YEP MY FILLER TANK CONNECTION FROM HOSE TO TANK IS LOOSE AND SHOWING EVIDENCE OF GAS LEAKING DOWN THE TANK. IT WASN'T A SMALL VAPOR LEAK, IT IS A MUSHROOM CLOUD EVENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN TO MY BACKSIDE! THE INTERESTING PART OF THIS DISASTER IS THAT THEY DID THIS AS FAR BACK AS I COULD SEARCH, SO FAR AS EARLY AS 2001. GM HAD ADVISED THEIR MECHANICS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED AND REDESIGN OF THE SYSTEM WAS IN PLACE WITH WELDED UNITS ATTACHING THE COMPONENTS, RATHER THAN RUBBER BOOTING TO PLASTIC TANKS. I HAVE THE INTERNAL

GAS SMELL NEAR REAR OF VEHICLE WHEN PARKED, AFTER DRIVING. *KB

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN OR ELECTRICAL GHOST OF SOME SORTS. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER 4 TIME WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THAT WAS THE DEALERS CURE. THEN WHEN I PURCHASED IT I REPLACED THE BATTERY.THEN IT WAS REPLACED FOR THE 6TH TIME 18 MONTHS LATER. THE REAR WINDOW ON THE TAIL GATE KEPT GOING DOWN ON IT'S OWN UNTIL THE MOTOR FLEW APART. THE WINDOW BEHIND THE REAR SEAT WENT DOWN ON IT'S OWN AND DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE RETRACTABLE BACK ROOF WILL NOT ENGAGE DUE TO THE REAR WINDOW. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE AC WILL COME ON BY ITSELF ALSO THE RADIO, THE SEAT HEATERS. NOW WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT ON THEIR OWN, LUCKILY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS STILL WORK, BUT THAT'S NOT HELPING THE POOR SOUL IN FRONT OF ME. GM SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY OF THIS BUT I'M ALMOST TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OR LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR ANYTIME FOR THAT MATTER. NOT TO MENTION ANY KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I MAY OF OVERLOOKED. *TR

2004 ENVOY XUV, IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED, HAD *NO* RESPONSE TO ACCELERATOR AS I MADE A LEFT TURN AT A LIGHT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH. WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED, AND IT RAN OKAY BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT REAPPEARED. DROVE ANOTHER 35 MILES WITH LIGHT ON. THE NEXT MORNING IT HAD RE-SET AND THE LIGHT IS GONE FROM THE DASH. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GM EXPECT US TO BE ABLE TO REPLICATE SUCH INCIDENTS FOR A TECH TO FIX? SUCH FAILURES WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEED READINGS. I TRY TO SEE HOW FAST IT IS GOING AT A DEAD STOP AND THEN ADD THAT NUMBER TO FIGURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. BUT NOW WHEN I DRIVE FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE PEGGED AT OVER 120 MPH. SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS WERE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND TIME AND MONEY TO TRY A SOLUTION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER. IF I GET THE SAME CLUSTER TYPE BACK I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. WHAT ADVICE DID YOU GIVE THE OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS? *KB

I HAVE GMC ENVOY XUV SLT 2004 MODEL AND LAST YEAR BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STILL RED BATTERY LIGHT CONTINUED AND I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND CHARGED ME 100 DOLLARS TO CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG AND RED LIGHT PERSISTED AND WAS TOLD THAT CLUSTER BOARD NEEDS CHANGE BUT AFTER FEW WEEKS RED LIGHT WAS GONE AND THAN FEW WEEKS LATER GLASS BETWEEN PASSENGER CABIN AND TRUNK WENT DOWN AND WOULD NOT WORK AND TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT CABLES ARE BAD AND THAN FEW WEEKS LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP AND WOULD SHOW 30 MILES WHEN CARE IS IDLE AND WOULD RACE TO 110 MILES AND THAN WOULD START SHOWING NORMAL AND TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL COST 500 DOLLARS AND TWO DAYS AGO THE TAIL WINDOW GLASS DROPPED. AND READING ON LINE MULTIPLE GM CAR OWNERS AND CHERY CAR SUV OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS.I THINK THIS IS A POOR WORK MAN SHIP ON PART OF GM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED OR BE FIXED BY GM AT NO COST TO OWNER. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM CAR AND PROBABLY WILL NOT CONSIDER . *TR

I HAVE A 2004 TRAILBLAZER THAT THE DASH COMPONENTS (SPEED, GAS, ECT....) HASN'T WORKED SINCE 2008. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. I ALSO HAVE LATCH PROBLEMS. I HAD A REAR DOOR STOP LATCHING...I USED A BUNJY CORD TO HOLD IT SHUT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO A JUNK YARD FOR A 35 DOLLAR NEW LATCH. I AM A SINGLE MOM TRYING TO MAKE MY TRUCK LAST. IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE HAD A FUEL PUMP GO, MY LATCH, MY TAILGATE WON'T OPEN AND MY SUNROOF DOESN'T OPEN ANY MORE AND MY TRUCK IS RUSTING HORRIBLY? I ALSO HAD A COOLING ISSUE WITH EMISSIONS. IT WASN'T READING THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE CORRECTLY. I HAVE SPENT NEAR TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR ODD THINGS. P.S. I PUT THE DOOR LATCH IN MY SELF TO SAVE MONEY. I HAVE TWO KIDS TO PROTECT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 ENVOY XUV. SINCE LAST YEAR WINTER, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AND RUN ERRATICALLY, WHICH I THOUGHT AT THE TIME WAS DUE TO THE COLD. OCCASIONALLY TOO, WE'D COME TO THE GARAGE TO FIND THE REAR WINDOW OPEN AND THE TAILGATE UNABLE TO OPEN. DURING THOSE TIMES, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE WINDOW BACK UP WITH THE BUTTON INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS UNLOCK THE TAILGATE BY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE. ALSO, THE TRUCK WOULD STALL DURING DRIVING, FOR NO REASON BUT WOULD START AGAIN (BIG SAFETY ISSUE!!! I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE WELL). SINCE THEN, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS ALSO CONTINUOUSLY GONE HAYWIRE, WITH THE SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATICALLY AS WELL AS THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THE MID WINDOW NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND MY TAILGATE WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. I HAVE HAD IT SWING OPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC (ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN!!!!! WHAT IF I HAVE SOMETHING BACK THERE AND IT FALLS OUT) THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS REGARDING ANY OF THESE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES THESE ARE PROBLEMS MOST GMC ENVOY XUV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, WITHOUT RECOURSE OF HAVING IT FIXED BY GM AT NO CHARGE. NOW, WE KNOW WHY THEY HAVE LOST THE MARKET SHARE TO JAPAN VEHICLES, BECAUSE OUR NEXT VEHICLE WILL NEVER BE A GM, UNLESS ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE RECALLED AND FIXED. WE'LL ALSO ENSURE TO MOUNT A LACK-OF-CONFIDENCE CAMPAIGN AGAINST GM VEHICLES WITH EVERYONE WE KNOW, IF NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT ASAP BY GM. *TR

XUV WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD. VEHICLE SAT OVER NIGHT AND WOULD NOT START THE NEXT DAY. DEALER CHECKED ALL SYSTEMS, REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH. TWO WEEKS LATER, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WAS DETERMINED THE STARTER WAS BAD, IT WAS REPLACED. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS GOING HAYWIRE LIKE OTHERS. MECHANIC STATED IT WOULD COST OVER $700 TO REPLACE COMPONENTS. *TR

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

2004 GMC ENVOY , I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A FUEL TANK PROBLEM. IT SAID DO NOT BRING THE TRUCK IN IF YOU DON'T SMELL GAS. NOW A YEAR LATER I SMELL GAS AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THE RECALL EXPIRED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE (195500). *TR
