2004 GMC Envoy complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, AN ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND FUEL WAS VISIBLE ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PERFORMED A TEMPORARY REPAIR HIMSELF HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

I WILL CUT THE CAR ON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IDOLS HARD THEN CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING . I READ ON INTERNET ALIT OF GM VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM JUST WONDERING IS THERE A RECALL? ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT WILL NOT CUT OFF. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND TESTING SHOWED CODES OF FUEL EVAP LEAK. I HAD TO GET THIS FIXED AS I WAS DUE TO GET MY REGISTRATION RENEWED. GOT THE VEHICLE BACK WENT FOR EMISSIONS TEST AND THE"CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" POPPED UP AGAIN JUST AS EMISSION TEST WAS BEING DONE!!!. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT! SO NOT ONLY DID I INCUR COST OF MECHANIC BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED THE EMISSIONS TEST. THE TECH AT THE EMISSIONS CENTER SAID THE CODES SHOWED "FUEL EVAP LEAK" DETECTED., WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE EMISSIONS TEST I SMELLED A STRONG GAS ODOR, PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS NOT LEAKING HOWEVER MY WHOLE GARAGE STUNK OF GAS. MY GARAGE IS ATTACHED TO MY HOUSE, LET THE DOG OUT AND THE DOG EVEN SNEEZED!.... BEING A WEEKEND AND MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION I DROVE THE CAR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. MONDAY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SHOP AND THE TECH NOTICED THE STRONG ODOR , LATER THE TECHNICIAN CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT THE LINES TO FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE LEAKING BUT ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOBILE!!!!!. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A FIRE HAZARD AND I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. NOW WHAT! I HAD TO GET THIS FIXED AS I NEED THE VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK. THE ADDITIONAL COST WAS $960 NOT TO MENTION THE EXTENSION I HAD TO PAY THE DMV TO EXTEND MY RENEWAL REGISTRATION. HAD THE VEHICLE BACK A WEEK NOW, NO MORE GAS SMELL BUT LORD AND BEHOLD THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" JUST POPPED UP AG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY ONCE THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000. UPDATED 8/27/14*CN UPDATED 8/29/2014 *JS

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

I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS. I ENDED UP SPINNING THE VEHICLE AROUND WHILE IN THE TRAVEL LANE AND HIT THE CAR IN THE PASSING LANE. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. ALTHOUGH NO ONE WAS INJURED THANKFULLY. I WONDERED WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. SHOULD I BE WORRIED? HAS ANYONE MADE THIS SAME COMPLAINT? THANK YOU. *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

CAR SLID INTO RIGHT GUARDRAIL AND THEN SLID TO LEFT IN DITCH ON EXPRESSWAY. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IMPACT WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO BEND THE FRONT PASSENGER CORNER OF FRAME. THE FRAME IS ALSO CRACKED UNDERNEATH THE MIDDLE OF VEHICLE AS RESULT OF CRASH. CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE. DRIVER SUFFERED WHIPLASH. *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 WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

GMC HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR/REPLACE A FAULTY FUEL TANK. INSTEAD GMC HAS ASKED THAT I PAY FOR THE REPAIR $1567.00. APPARENTLY, SEVERAL GMC ENVOY OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT CRACKS IN THE FUEL TANK. GMC HAS DETERMINED UNLESS THE CRACK OCCURRED WITHIN 36,000 MILES OF PURCHASING THE CAR, IT IS THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RULED UNSAFE TO DRIVE BY A GMC TECHNICIAN. MY CHILDREN ARE RIDING IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS FAULTY FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN GMC. *JS

MY GMC ENVOY STALLS OUT WHEN I STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I THEN HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH TEST METERS/EQUIPMENT HAVE BEEN USED TO FIND THE CAUSE FOR THE UNEXPLAINED STALL IS STILL UNKNOWN.THIS HAPPENS APX. ONCE EVERY (2) MONTHS. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS OUT THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" COMES ON AND LAST MONTH THE " REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND THE ENVOY WOULD ONLY MOVE AT 3 TO 4 MPH. *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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPENING THE REAR LIFT GATE GLASS, THE GLASS SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 7/30/14*CN THE CONSUMER SUFFERED A CUT ON HER FACE, THE PALM OF HER HAND AND FINGER. UPDATED 08/05/14

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

MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON DURING THE SUMMER OF 2013 AND DIAGNOSTICS WERE COMPLETED STATING THAT THERE WAS A PRESSURE ISSUE, THEN LATER IN THE FALL, NOTICED FUEL SMELL AT TIME OF FUELING. TOOK CAR TO SHOP TO GET CHECKED, SHOP OWNER FOUND RECALL FOR INJURIES DEMONSTRATED IN MY FUEL SYSTEM. MOVED CAR TO GMC DEALER FOR OFFICIAL DIAGNOSTICS, THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY A 2003, SINCE IT WAS SOLD IN DEC OF THAT YEAR AND WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE. I THEN FOUND A RECALL NOTICE PUBLISHED IN 2007 THAT INCLUDED 2002 AND 2003 VEHICLES WITH THE INITIAL RECALL. GMC TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO COVER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL(THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN IN A SATISFACTORY WAY HOW THIS AFFECTED ME AS A CONSUMER). THE NHTSA ACTION # IS PE07014. AT THE TIME OF THE SYMPTOMS, MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 130,000 MILES ON IT (AS IT HAS JUST 130 K ON IT NOW) AND WAS JUST UNDER 10 YEARS OLD. *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 SPEE

SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD, NO BUMPS, AND REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERED. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S ENVOYS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEBODY SHOT OUT MY WINDOW BECAUSE WHO HAS EVER HEARD OF A WINDOW JUST EXPLODING FOR NO REASON. WELL, APPARENTLY GMC FOUND A WAY TO MAKE WINDOWS, "JUST EXPLODE", AND THEN WEASELS THEIR WAY OUT OF PAYING TO FIX THIS EMBARRASSMENT OF AMERICAN ENGINEERING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ GMC HAS REFUSED ALL CASES COMPENSATION FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO I CAME HERE TO VOICE MY FRUSTRATION BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $795 TO FIX MY TRUCK. I AM WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. MY 1999 VW JETTA WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE THE GROUND EFFECT TRIM WOULD GET CAUGHT ON PARKING BLOCKS AND CAUSE DAMAGE, BUT THIS WINDOW EXPLODING IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. SO I WILL CALL GMC ON JAN.2 WHEN OFFICES OPEN BACK UP, AND DEPENDING ON HOW THAT GOES I MIGHT CALL UP A BUDDY WHO PRACTICES LAW TO SEE WHAT THE CHANCES ARE FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT. *TR

I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE SMOGED AND THE SMOG TECH LET ME KNOW I HAVE A LEAK FROM A CLAMP. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT TO REPLACE THE CLAMP AND SAW THAT THE NECK ON THE GAS TANK WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND THAT WAS WHERE THE ACTUALLY LEAK WAS COMING FROM. APPARENTLY THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH OTHER PEOPLES GMC ENVOY'S, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND THE NECK IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC. NOW I AM AT A LOSS OF A CAR UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX IT. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOT BY THE OWNERS. *TR

THE FUEL TANK NECK WHERE THE FUEL GOES INTO THE VEHICLE THEN DOWN TO THE GAS TANK IS CRACKED WHICH IS CAUSING A GAS LEAK & VAPORS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN READING MANY OF THESE POST. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE ALSO HAPPENED TO MY ENVOY. I HAVE HAD MY BACK WINDOW BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING, THANK GOD THAT BOTH OF MY KIDS THAT WERE IN THE BACK SEAT WERE NOT HURT, THEY WERE JUST SCARED AND STILL ASK IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I ALSO RECENTLY JUST HAD TO HAVE A PIECE ON THE GAS LINE FIXED WHICH WAS ALMOST $900.00 MONEY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE AND HAD TO BORROW. I AM STILL PAYING IT BACK. NOW AS FOR LAST NIGHT MY LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING, I BOUGHT NEW BULBS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO IT IS BACK TO THE MECHANIC. OH AND I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT GOES ON AND OFF. THEY REALLY NEED TO GET ON ALL OF THESE THINGS. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE CAR WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. I MAY JUST PRINT THESE THINGS UP AND BRING TO THE GMC SHOP AND SEE WHAT THE CAN DO ABOUT IT. I MEAN I REALLY TO LOVE MY SUV BUT THIS IS CRAZY. I AM NOW KIND OF SCARED TO HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, VOLTMETER GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY, WELL MAINTAINED AT 158,000 MILES BEGAN TO EMIT AN ODOR OF GASOLINE. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY NOTICEABLE, BUT OVERTIME IT'S BECOME VERY NOTICEABLE. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE CAR SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. NO GASOLINE IS LEAKED, ONLY FUMES ARE EMITTED. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATE THAT THERE IS A CRACK ON THE INLET OF THE FUEL TANK. REPAIR SHOP STATED MY MODEL IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL ISSUED FOR ENVOY XL OF THE SAME YEAR, BUT STATED IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. ESTIMATE COST OF REPAIR $1000+. *TR

NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THEN PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT. UPON INVESTIGATION I NOTICED THE LIGHT SOCKET FOR THE HEAD LIGHT WAS MELTED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH SOME ACTUALLY CAUSING FIRE OR ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING, THE VEHICLE REAR SUSPENSION DROPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE "CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT FLASHES FOLLOWED BY "LOW OIL PRESSURE" FOLLOWED BY "STOP ENGINE" AND THE ENGINE STALLS. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS THE AC HAS BEEN ON. SENT TO DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW. VERY SCARY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ANOTHER MOTORIST SAW SMOKE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE AND GOT VEHICLE STOPPED ON SIDE OF ROAD AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. CALLED FIRE DEPT AND POLICE. FIRE SPREAD THROUGH THE HEARER BOX INTO THE VEHICLE AND ACROSS DASH UNTIL IT BEGAN BURNING THE HEADLINER. FIRE DEPT PUT OUT FIRE BUT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON INSTRUMENT PANEL OF ANY PROBLEMS (ALL GAUGES SHOWING NORMAL READINGS). *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED AS DTC CODE P0442 (EVAP LEAK). SMOKE TEST REVEALED CRACK IN FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY WHERE FILLER NECK HOSE MEETS THE FUEL TANK. *TR GMC ISSUED A BULLETIN NO.: 05-06-04-014A ON MARCH 21, 2005 REGARDING THE ABOVE REFERENCED DTC CODE AND ITS POSSIBLE CONNECTION TO A FRACTURE IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR OTHER REMEDY FOR THIS DEFECT. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO FUEL TANK FRACTURE. IN ADDITION, VEHICLE CANNOT BE REGISTERED BECAUSE IT CANNOT PASS SMOG TEST WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. COST FOR REPAIR IS $1,300-$1,500.

A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF MY CAR. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND BEING DRIVEN THE SMELL IS MOST HEAVIEST. AFTER DRIVING AND IT SITS, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SMELL THE GAS FUMES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DETECTED. I CONTINUE TO BE AFRAID THAT MAYBE MY CAN IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE OR EXPLODE AT ANY TIME. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF GMC ENVOYS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME OF THE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THIS ISSUE REACHES FAR BEYOND THOSE MODELS. ALL MAKE AND MODELS WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE CODE IS INDICATING SOME TYPE OF VAPOR/EMISSIONS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY BOTH FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER AREA HAS A VAPOR AND LIQUID LEAK. THERE IS A TSB ISSUED BY GMC THAT COVERS THIS SITUATION BUT THEY WILL ONLY HONOR IT ON VEHICLES PRIOR TO 2004. *TR

MY CAR IS LEAKING GAS AND I. CAN ONLY PUT 20 OR 30 DOLLARS WORTH IN AT A TIME WHERE MOST OF IT ENDS UP ON THE GROUND. THERE IS ALSO A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL. I'M TAKING IT IN TO BE FIXED BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM SINCE I JUST READ THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM SO THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GOES OFF. THESE ARE PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRE A RECALL. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER BEGINS TO GIVE FAULTY READINGS. AT FIRST IT WAS REPORTING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR UNDER ACTUAL SPEED. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH DUE TO EXCESSIVE UNKNOWN SPEED. IN THE LAST FEW DAYS THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS AT 60 MPH AND IS OFF BY APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AMOUNT SO WHEN TRAVELING 50 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER READS 110 MPH. THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ABOUT THIS YET NO RECALLS. HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION. *TR

ONE DAY ALL MY GAUGES MAY WORK I MIGHT SHUT THE SUV OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND NO GAUGES WILL WORK (SPEED,OIL PRESSURE,BATTERY,GAS,ODOMETER,TACH) WHEN ONE WORKS THEY ALL WORK WHEN ONE DOESN'T WORK NONE OF THEM WORK AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY DO. *TR

THE LOW BEAMS WILL NOT COME ON !!! THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU "RECALL". *TR

LAST EVENING OUR FAMILY LOADED INTO THE ENVOY AND MY SON OPENED THE HATCH HALFWAY AND REALIZED HE FORGOT SOMETHING AND RAN TO GET IT. THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING YET. WE HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" AND GLASS SHATTERING AND HOPPED OUT. THERE WAS GLASS ALL OVER OUR DRIVEWAY AND EVEN PIECES UP TO SEVERAL YARDS AWAY. THE GLASS ON THE HATCH HAD EXPLODED. IT WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND WE WERE SO RELIEVED THAT MY SON HAD NOT BEEN STANDING RIGHT THERE AND THAT THE HATCH WAS PARTIALLY OPEN SO THE GLASS DIDN'T BLOW TOWARD MY REAR FACING INFANT, TODDLER AND 8 YEAR OLD SON ALREADY LOADED IN THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT MY CHILDREN DID LATER CUT THEMSELVES ON SHARDS OF GLASS THAT MADE IT OVER TO THE YARD. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS INCREDIBLY UPSETTING. EVEN OUR NEIGHBOR CAME TO HELP. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. OUR INSURANCE COVERS THE COST AFTER OUR $500 DEDUCTIBLE, HOWEVER, WE ARE AFRAID THE WINDOW WILL BLAST OUT AGAIN AND AFRAID ESPECIALLY FOR OUR REAR FACING INFANT AND SONS RIDING IN THE VERY BACK. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. *JS

I HAVE OWNED A GMC ALL MY ADULT LIFE. THIS ENVOY HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS ....NOW THE GAUGES SEEM TO BE ALL SCREWED UP AND AFTER READING POST FROM ONLINE..I WILL NEED TO PUT MORE TIME AND MORE MONEY INTO THIS SUV.
