2004 GMC Envoy complaints

BOUGHT THE CAR 2006 WAS TWO YEARS AT THAT TIME LESS THAN A WEEK INTO REPLACED BRAKES FOR ABS FAILURE. STILL HAPPENING, TOOK IT BACK SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. WELL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO MY WIFE WAS GOING UP-HILL TO A STOP LIGHT HIT THE BRAKES ON SLICK PAVEMENT AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND ABS DID NOT KICK IN. CAUSING MY WIFE TO TOTAL TWO VEHICLES THAT I AM NOW BEING SUED FOR ONE OF THEM. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SPEED ODOMETER AND TACH NOT ACCURATE. I HAVE HAD 2 SPEEDING TICKETS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. NOT SURE OF THE DATE IT FIRST HAPPENED BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE. GM DEALER IN MY AREA WAS RUDE TO MY WIFE AND SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. *TR

I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE ENTIRE PANEL WOULD GO OUT AND ALL THE GAUGES BOTTOMED OUT. I COULD NOT TELL MY SPEED, GAS LEVEL, RPMS, ETC. THE PANEL WOULD STAY OUT FOR A FEW DAYS THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. ALSO ON OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STICK AT 60 MPH AND ONLY CORRECT ITSELF IF I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON. FINALLY, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT AND HAS NEVER COME BACK ON. I HAVE DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND AM AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO JUDGE MY FUEL LEVEL. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS IN AN AREA WITH EASY ACCESS TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. (I CAN'T BE SURE OF THIS, HOWEVER, SINCE THE ODOMETER IS A PART OF THE PANEL THAT IS OUT.) THIS IS A SERIOUS AND, ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, RECURRING PROBLEM THE GMC SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT AND PAY FOR. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILED. AT FIRST IT DID NOT CORRECTLY REFLECT VEHICLE SPEED, THEN FLUCTUATED RAPIDLY OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL DAYS, AND FINALLY FAILED COMPLETELY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRVING 20 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY ASSUMED IT WAS A PART OF THE MANUFACTURERS RECALL AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CONFIRMED AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE THAT THE VEHCLE WAS NOT WITHIN THE RECALL VIN RANGE. THE DEALER HAS BILLED THE CONTACT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

SPEEDOMETER MALFUCTIONS. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY IN WHICH THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING FASTER THAN I REALLY WAS AND THE CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. COULD YOU PLEASE ASSIST W ANY RECALL MEASURES. IT COSTS OVER 500.00 TO REPLACE THIS. *TR

RECEIVED A SPECIAL CASE 07076 LETTER FROM GMC. TOOK 2004 GMC LETTER INDICATED IF YOU WERE NOT SEEING SYMPTOMS YOU ARE NOT TO TAKE IT TO DEALER. 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

BOUGHT "CERTIFIED USED" ENVOY IN OCTOBER OF 07. TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED AT 57K MILES 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. 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. THERE'S NO EXCUSE THAT WE ARE DRIVING THESE (EXPENSIVE) UNSAFE VEHICLES!! *TR

I'VE HAD PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN I TRY TO PLAY THE CD PLAYER IT SAYS CHECK DISC SOMETIMES THE DISC WILL NOT EJECT FROM THE RADIO. THE CLOCK ALWAYS RESET ITSELF TO INCORRECT TIME AND NOT ALL LIGHTS STAY LIT ON DASH. REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TWICE TO DEALER THEY REPLACED SENSOR TWICE AND HERE IT IS 2008 WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND STILL HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. WHEN I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT MY CRUISE CONTROL SPEED OF 65. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MY SPEEDOMETER BACKED OFF TO 45 MPH, BUT WOULD NOT RETURN TO ZERO. AFTER STOPPING, THEN TURNING ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL STUCK AT 45 MPH. MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS PREVIOUSLY SET AT THE SPEED LIMIT FOR THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND I HIT THE BUTTON TO RESUME CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, THINKING IT WOULD RESET TO ZERO WITHOUT POWER; YET, IT IS STILL STUCK AT 45 MPH AND MY CAR IS OFF AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

THIS PAST MONTH THE SPEEDOMETER SET AT 40 MPH WITH CAR IN "PARK" POSITION. AFTERWARD WHEN DRIVING, MY ACTUAL SPEED HAD 40MPH ADDED TO THE READING. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES SO FAR IN OCTOBER 2008. *TR

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY MPH AND RPM GAUGES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PUT ON ALL GMC/CHEVY TRUCKS AND SUV FOR THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER EXCEPT FOR THE ENVOY, ANY NEWER MODELS. THE PART IS AT LEAST 500 AND ADVISED CAN ONLY BE DONE BY DEALERSHIP DUE TO PROGRAMMING. IM FURIOUS, MY TRUCK IS ONLY AT ABOUT 53,000 MILES. THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE UNDER RECALL FOR THE ENVOY ASAP! *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY HEADLIGHTS WOULD PERIODICALLY DIMM AND GO OFF DURING BREAKING. WITHOUT WARNING HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITH NO INDICATION. REPAIR AT GMC DEALER COST $130 FOR A "HDM RELAY". VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE AS NO FUSES FAILED, NO LAMPS FAILED, BUT A HIDDEN COMPONENT FAILED WHICH CAUSED ME TO GO OFF A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AT NIGHT. *TR

THE OUTER SIDE OF THE SIDE WALL BLEW COMPLETELY OUT. NO TIRE DAMAGE. SIDE WALL BLEW OUT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMV ENVOY BEHAVES ERRATICALLY AND DOES NOT WORK. WHEN STARTING UP AUTO SPEEDOMETER COULD BE AT ZERO OR UP TO 100 OR CONTINUES TO NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE NO IDEAL AT EXACTLY WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I WOULD THINK THIS SHOULD BE A "SAFETY ISSUE" AND SHOULD BE REASON FOR A RECALL. *TR

THE TRUCK'S DIM LIGHTS ALL OF THE SUDDEN STOP WORKING. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS COME ON, BUT THE DIM LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. THE BULBS WERE CHECKED, AND THE DIMMER SWITCH. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 MECHANICS, AND NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS. I CAN'T GET MY TAGS RENEWED BECAUSE THE DIM LIGHTS DON'T WORK AT ALL. I'VE CALLED GMC TO SEE OF ANY RECALLS, AND THEY STATED ONLY REAR TAIL LIGHTS. I DEFINITELY THINK ITS A MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT, AND WOULD LIKE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. *TR

DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED AND NOTICED SPEEDOMETER WAS READING INCORRECTLY--MUCH HIGHER THAN ACTUAL. VEHICLE DRIVEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, WITH CONTINUED INCORRECT SPEED RATING. ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AT 68,000 MILES WITH NO PREVIOUS REPAIR NOTED. *TR

WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AT 33,000 MILES AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THE CHECKED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT, AT 50K WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH LOST THE POWER TRAIN. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION AND THREE WEEKS THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO FIX FOR 500 VICE 3300 WHICH THEY WANTED. A WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN AND NOW WE LOST POWER STEERING AND THE GAS NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WIESNER GMC IN CONROE TX AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED ANY CALLS. I AM NOW TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC TO TRIED TO GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS NOT WORKING. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL SOMETIMES SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING A CERTAIN MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. EXAMPLE: VEHICLE IS IN PARK. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 34 MPH. WHEN DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER BASES IT'S SPEED OFF OF 34 MPH BEING AT 0 AND ACTUAL SPEED IS 34MPH HIGHER THAN WHAT I AM ACTUALLY GOING. ALSO, VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WILL SOMETIMES GET STUCK PAST 120MPH BECAUSE OF THE NEEDLE BEING AT A CERTAIN SPEED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN MOVING. *TR

THE MPH AND RPM GAUGES NOT WORKING. NEEDLE WOULD NOT GO DOWN TO ZERO. WOULD GET STUCK IN ONE MPH AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM THERE. WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN TO ZERO IN 5MPH INCREMENTS BY STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE, BUT THEN AFTER DRIVING IT WOULD STICK AT 40 AND UP. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT MY OTHER 2004 CHEVY TRUCK RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM MY GMC WAS HAVING. HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE DASH BOARD CLUSTER(OVER $500.00). I NEEDED TO KNOW THE SPEED I WAS DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING HEADLIGHTS WILL PERIODICALLY DIM AND BRIGHTEN WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER SPORADICALLY FAILED AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND IS AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 26,500.

SPEEDOMETER READS ERRATICALLY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS STUCK ABOVE 120 MPH. IT NEVER SHOWS THE CORRECT SPEED THE VEHICLE IS GOING. *TR

I OWN A 2004 GMC ENVOY AND I LIKE OTHERS HAVE A SPEEDOMETER THAT HAS FAILED ALSO....AND THE TACHOMETER HAS ALSO FAILED...SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS THE SPEED BUT IT IS NOT THE CORRECT ONE...AS I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND IT SHOWED I WAS GOING 10MPH....OTHER TIMES IT JUST SITS ON 0.... *TR

SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED IMPROPER SPEED WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, WOULD STICK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHEN STOPPED. HAS COMPLETELY STOP WORKING. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING BACK AND FORTH, THEN EVENTUALLY WOULD STICK AT A NUMBER. IT WOULD SEEM TO WORK AT ONE POINT AND THEN GO BACK AND FORTH AGAIN. GOING THROUGH TOWN, IT SHOWS 120 MPH AT MOST TIMES. WENT TO GM DEALER, PUT NEW SENSOR ON IT, DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. NOW HAVE ORDERED A NEW CLUSTER. NOT SURE IF ANY OF THE OTHER GAUGES WORK CORRECTLY. THIS IS GOING TO COST OVER $450.00 AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, HUNDREDS OF THIS YEAR ENVOY HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. OUR PART WAS BACKORDERED, SO THAT MEANS THERE IS A HIGH VOLUME REQUESTING THIS SAME PART. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SECOND ROW SEATS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE ROOM FOR A CHILD SEAT. THE SEATS ARE IN A RECLINED POSITION, THEREFORE, WHEN THE BASE AND CHILD SEAT ARE POSITIONED IN THE MIDDLE ROW, THEY DO NOT APPEAR LEVELED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,128.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHLIGHTS FLICKER FROM BRIGHT TO DIM WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN BRAKING. IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL AS MYSELF DISTRACTED BY THE CONSTANT FLICKERING, BUT RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND AN OVERALL LACK OF CONCERN FROM GMC. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER AND INSTRUMENT DISPLAY CONSOLE WENT BAD ON IT YESTERDAY (01/28/08) RANDOMLY. GMC ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL WITH OTHER GMC SUV'S, BUT NOT THE ENVOY'S. SERVICE SHOPS ALSO ADMIT THE ENVOY'S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GMC WILL NOT INCLUDE THE ENVOY AS PART OF THE RECALL. NOW, I AM BEING ASKED TO PAY FOR COSTLY REPAIR. *CN

I STARTED MY 2004 GMC ENVOY AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN I STARTED IT, IT WENT TO 60 WITHOUT EVEN MOVING. SOMETIMES IT STAYS AT A SPEED NO MATER HOW FAST OR SLOW I GO. IF I AM ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, IT SAYS I AM GOING 100. ALSO THE CLOCK JUST CHANGED BY IT SELF. IT WENT THREE HOURS BEHIND. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED ANYTHING YET. I WOULD LIKE GMC TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AT NO COST BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS A GM RECALL FOR SPEEDOMETERS NOT THAT LONG AGO. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS STICKING OR NOT MOVING AT ALL. THIS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS INOPERATIVE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, AND FUEL GAUGE. VEHICLE HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC; SHOWING WRONG SPEED ALMOST ALL THE TIME. 1000S OF REPORTS OF THIS ON INTERNET IN GM AND CHEVROLET SUVS OF THE SAME TYPE. I HAVE 2004 ENVOY XL AND THIS COST ME AROUND $600. THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS SAME PART IS USED ON MANY OF THE GM AND CHEVROLET VEHICLES AS THERE ARE EVEN OUTSIDE BUSINESSES WHO NOW FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY CASES IN GMS. PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE IN THE VEHICLE SPEED SECTION BUT SOME ARE INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR SOME MODELS BUT NOT MY MODEL. IF IT IS TRULY THE SAME PART THEN WHY ISN'T MY MODEL INCLUDED? *TR

TROUBLE WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL 1. TACHOMETER NOT WORKING FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. 2. FUEL GAGE NOT WORKING RIGHT FOR OVER 1 YEAR. 3. OIL PRESSURE GAGE WENT OUT NOT WORKING AT ALL 3 WEEKS AGO. ( BIGGEST DANGER ) 4. SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AS OF JANUARY 4, 2008 NOT WORKING AT ALL FOR ONE DAY. IT IS NOW WORKING BUT SHOWING WRONG SPEEDS. COULD HAVE ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF WRONG READING. I HAVE FOUND OUT THE GMC HAS SOME RECALLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANELS. AS OF TODAY 01/06/2008 NO RECALLS FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS. 2003-2008 GMC ENVOY THIS IS A INFERIOR INSTRUMENT PANEL AND A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SHOULD BE ON RECALL. HOPE YOU CAN HELP. NUMBER OF FAILURES 4. THANK YOU THOMAS F. THOMPSON P.S. UNDER SELECT COMPLAINT TYPES. YOU HAVE 4 LISTED TO CHOSE FROM. I AM USING ( VEHICLE ) MY 1ST PROBLEM STARTED AT 38,000 MILES AND MY LAST AT 54,000 MILES. SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING RIGHT. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XUV FAULTY SPEEDOMETER, THE SPEEDOMETER READS FALSE READING, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY DOING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS 55 AND I WAS PULLED OVER FOR DOING 72 MILES IN A 55 ZONE. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY UNSAFE HITCH. CONSUMER STATES THAT CLIP IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE HITCH PIN IN PLACE IS SO DESIGNED TO FIT OVER THE PIN TO HOLD IT IN PLACE, IS NOT SAFELY DESIGN. CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED A SAFER DESIGN FOR THE PIN AND CLIP WOULD BE TO HAVE A HOLE DRILLED INTO THE PIN WHEREBY THE CLIP COULD BE INSERTED INTO THE HOLE THEREBY ALLEVIATING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CLIP BEING JARRED LOOSE FROM THE PIN. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE TRAILER SLIGHTLY WENT AIRBORNE, FLIPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND THE TONGUE OF THE TRAILER STARTED HITTING THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SOON DISCOVERED THE SAFETY CHAINS HAD COME LOOSE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE HITCH DENIED THE CONSUMERS CLAIM. THEY STATED THAT THEIR PRODUCT WAS SAFE AND THERE WAS NO STRESS ON THE CLIP. *JB
