2005 GMC Envoy complaints

AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLES GAS TANK, THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, AN THE LO E FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT IS ENGAGED. INITIALLY, THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL WAS ABOVE HALF OF A TANK, THEN THE LEVEL WOULD SHOW CORRECTLY FROM ONE HALF OF A TANK AND LOWER. EVENTUALLY, IT NEVER SHOWED CORRECTLY AND ALWAYS AS EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL WARNING. *TR

ON JULY 28, 2014 I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY GOING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THE MAIN STREET AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING SPOT. I TRIED RESTARTING MY ENVOY WITH NO LUCK SO I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD GONE BAD. I HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER OR GOING DOWN A STEEP MOUNTAIN BECAUSE WHERE I LIVE I AM SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS. I AM NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH A SIMILAR VEHICLE. I DO KNOW THAT OTHER GM CARS AND VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS SAME SITUATION BUT WAS TOLD THAT MINE IS NOT UNDER A RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, ENGINE CUT OFF. BEFORE THAT, THE MUFFLER STARTED MAKING RUMBLING NOISE. I HAD JUST FUELED THE VEHICLE. FINDINGS BY AAA: ABS BAD HAD TO BE REPLACED 1056$ AND REALIGNMENT. 2. EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND PIPE REPLACEMENT 400. DON'T KNOW ABOUT FUEL SYSTEM YET BRAKES /ABS IS 3RD TIME SINCE BUYING THE CAR IN 2006. 2ND TIME FOR ENGINE ISSUES. CAR STARTED OVERHEATING ON BELTWAY THIS WEEK AND BLOWER MOTOR NOT WORKING RIGHT. ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WONT WORK NOW AND REAR WIPER STOPPED WORKING. HOLY YOU KNOW! THINK I GOT A LEMON! *TR

SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT WITH CAR RUNNING OFF ROAD RAN INTO DITCH, OVERTURNED AND HITTING PHONE POLE. AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. QUESTIONABLE SEAT BELT ISSUES. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND READS 120 MILES AN HOUR NO MATTER HOW FAST I'M TRAVELING. I CURRENTLY USE MY GPS TO WATCH MY SPEED. THIS IS UNSAFE AND THIS IS A ON-GOING COMPLIANT FOR MANY CONSUMERS. GM SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE ASSEMBLE OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED ABS AND SERVICE BRAKES LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON HER INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THE EBCM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER, ONLY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS AND BECAUSE A SYSTEM UPDATE WOULD NEED TO BE REFORMED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED GMC DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER STATED THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD BE UNKNOWN HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE REPRODUCE THE PART NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 123,000. RK

FILLED UP GAS TANK TO FULL, WHEN PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION, FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND GAS GAUGE SHOWED IT WAS EMPTY. AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT WHILE GAUGE STARTED TO GO TO FULL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL UP FOR GAS. *TR

GMC ENVOY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. ALL POWER LOST. VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP JUST A FEW FEET BEFORE AN INTERSECTION. DEALER REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH, DUE TO "MULTIPLE CODES STORED IN THE ECM." IRONICALLY, ALMOST 2 YEARS PRIOR, SAME ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESS WAY. WE WERE LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED DURING THAT INCIDENT AS WELL. TWO IGNITION SWITCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE SAME VEHICLE OVER THE COURSE OF 2 YEARS. I'M SURPRISED THAT THIS VEHICLE ISN'T PART OF THE GM IGNITION RECALL! *TR

GMC ENVOY SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, WITH OUT WARNING, ON THE EXPRESS WAY. AUTO REPAIR DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE AS A "FAULTY" IGNITION. IGNITION WAS REPLACED. ANOTHER COMPLAINT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THE SAME VEHICLE. TWO YEARS LATER, THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED, DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS ACTIVATED, BOTH LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY BECOME DIMMER AND THEN INCREASE BRIGHTNESS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT WAS REPEATED EACH TIME THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

THE FIRST DAY WE HAD THE TRUCK THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED THE WRONG SPEED AND HAS BEEN THAT WAY. IT WORKS OCCASIONALLY. THEN A WEEK LATER THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THEY CAME BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS AGO. THE FUEL GAGE IS IN ACCURATE AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO DISPLAY THE ACTUAL SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

AT LEES THAN 1/4 TANK OF FUEL THE GAS GAUGE IS CLOSE, AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE GOES WAY PAST FULL AND WILL STAY LIKE THAT UNTIL FUEL IS BELOW 1/4 TANK. LAST TIME THE TRUCK TOOK 19.85 GALLONS IN A 20 GALLON TANK UNTIL IT STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN. ONE TANK IT WORKED FINE AND NEXT FILL UP IT WAS WAY BEYOND FULL AGAIN. AT THE SAME TIME WHEN FUEL GAUGE IS WRONG, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE OFF. MANY TIMES FREEZING AT 35MPH WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH. AFTER MANY RESETS OF IGNITION, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL COME BACK. ALSO WHEN ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE, THE RADIO HAS NO AUDIO. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, THE RADIO WILL COME BACK AND WORK ON ONE SPEAKER. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS OUT. WHEN WEATHER IS WARMER, ALL 3 FUNCTIONS SEEM TO WORK REGULARLY. BELOW 50 DEGREES, ALL MALFUNCTION. *TR

THE FUEL SENSOR ON THIS VEHICLE FAILS PREMATURELY. *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS STARTED EXPERIENCING A KNOCKING SOUND IN THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SIDE. IT STARTS APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTS AND STOPS WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING OR IDLE. THIS STARTED YESTERDAY EVENING. NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING IT. EVERYTHING IS RUNNING FINE IN THE VEHICLE. THERE MUST BE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND RESOLUTIONS. *TR

SEEMS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY EVEN AFTER I FILL IT UP. IT WILL CHIME, ILLUMINATE THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND READ --- FOR RANGE LEFT TILL EMPTY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE. AFTER YOU DRIVE AND USE ABOUT 5 GALLONS IT WILL THEN GO FROM F TO E EVERY FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH CODE P0463. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE. GM STATED THAT THEY DID SEND OUT AT ONE TIME A OFFER TO PAY HALF OF THE ASSOCIATED COST IF WE CHOSE TO FIX THIS AND IT WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME. I WAS DEPLOYED OVERSEAS AT THE TIME SO I NEVER GOT THAT MAIL AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT THAT POINT IN TIME ANYWAY, HOWEVER THEY COULD HAVE ALLOWED ME TO DO IT UPON MY RETURN, NOPE!!! THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE NOW, AND IT IS VIEWED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. THEY TOLD ME TO SEE THEIR LIAISON AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, HE WILL THEN CALL THE GM REP. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER A WEEK AND STILL NO REPLY. WHEN I CALLED GM BACK ON MY OWN, IT SEEMS THEY CLOSED MY CASE BUT DID NOT HAVE A REASON WHY IT WAS CLOSED AND I WAS PLACED FROM ONE SUPERVISOR TO ANOTHER. I HAVE REPAIRED OR REPLACED SO MANY THING ON THIS SUV IN EXCESS OF 7K ALREADY ITS NOT FUNNY.( POWER PEDAL RELAY, AND MODULE, SELF LEVELING SUSPENSION, AC CONTROL HEAD, FAN CLUTCH MOTOR, AC ACCUMULATOR, ENTIRE FUSE BLOCK, ENTIRE SHORT BLOCK OF ENGINE AND HALF THE TOP END.)NOW THE HEAT AND AC SYSTEM ARE GIVING ME ISSUES WITH THE ACTUATOR DOOR AS WELL AS THE CONTROL BOX WHERE NO AIR COMES THRU THE DASH

THE GAS TANK SENSOR WENT OUT. LATELY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC FOR REPAIR BUT WITH 2 CRITERIAS. FIRST : VEHICLE MUST BE UNDER 120.000 MILES AND SECOND CRITERIA LESS THAN 10 YEARS. MY PERSONAL SITUATION ONLY APPLIES THE 10 YEARS. *TR I TALK TO GMS AND GMC IN TURN SAYS I HAVE DEAL WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND LOCAL DEALER SAYS GMC MUST AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR. I FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE THAT THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND GMC KNOWS THAT IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART. I THINK IT IS IN DANGER IF I FORGET TO GAS UP MY CAR.

FUEL SENSOR NO LONGER WORKS ON VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THIS DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE PER SE, ITS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE THAT GMC HAS RECOGNIZED HOWEVER THEY CONTINUE TO PUT STIPULATIONS AROUND VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX. FOR EXAMPLE, THE VEHICLE MUST BE UNDER 10YRS OF AGE OR UNDER 120,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I THINK THAT GMC SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM REGARDING OF HOW MANY MILES OR YEARS OF AGE IS ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE BACK PASSENGER DOORS, AT TIMES, WONT SHUT, THEY KEEP POPPING OPEN. I HAD THE PARTS REPLACED BACK IN 2009, NOW IT IS 2013 AND I HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN.

IN MARCH 2012 I HAD MOTOR MOUNTS INSTALLED ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY AT THE DEALERSHIP JAY GMC BUICK COLUMBUS GEORGIA. ON AUGUST 26,2013 THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED NEW MOTOR MOUNTS BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF VEHICLE AND MILES THEY NEED TO BE REPLACE. I GUESS PARTS ARE OLD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTALLING IS OLD TO. DURING THIS SAME TIME HAD A TUNE-UP {MAJOR} AND NOW HAVE TO HAVE COIL AND PLUG INSTALL. THIS MAKE IT SEEM PAYING FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVE IS A WASTE OF TIME. MY FUEL INJECTOR ALSO NEEDS CLEANING AGAIN. IN THE FUTURE I CAN ONLY EXPECT 40,000 MILES ON ANYTHING FIXED BY DEALER. *TR

I FILLED UP AT THE LOCAL EXXON GAS STATION AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH THE YELLOW LIGHT ILLUMINATED. TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES,TO NO AVAIL.CARRIED CAR TO A MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TANK. REPAIR COST ROUGHLY $800 - $1000 DOLLARS. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT LEAVING US IN THE DARK. WE HAVE CHECKED THE FUSES BUT THEY ARE ALL FINE. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT COME OFF OF EMPTY EVEN THOUGH WE FILL IT UP. *TR

INITIALLY THE AMP GAUGE PEGGED OUT FOLLOWED WITHIN A MONTH BY THE SPEEDOMETER GIVING UP OR SOMETIMES READING 120 MPH WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD BE REPAIRED AT A COST OF ABOUT $600. NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THAT AT THE TIME, I INSTALLED A GPS UNIT SO I WOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF SPEEDOMETER. WITHIN 2 MOS. TIME THE CAR STALLED UPON TAKEOFF FROM A LIGHT WITH RINGING BELLS,THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS DIMLY LIT AND THE TACHOMETER BOUNCING FROM 500 TO 2500 RPMS WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STOPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT RE-START UNTIL THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF ONCE OR TWICE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT BRIGHTLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 65MPH. I'M TOLD GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT MANDATED AS A "SAFETY PROBLEM". I DRIVE THE INTERSTATES FOR A LIVING AND HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR ENDED NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND HOW CAN A COMPANY WHICH TOOK MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER BAILOUT MONEY NOT BE FORCED TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF DRIVING. IT GOES TO ZERO. IT SOMETIMES STARTS AGAIN IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND STARTED AGAIN, BUT IT WILL QUIT WORKING IF A LONG DRIVE CONTINUES. IT WORKS PERFECTLY WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN ON SHORT TRIPS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN APPARENTLY SAYS TO "CLEAN GROUND CONNECTION". HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM TOLD I NEED TO HAVE SPEEDOMETER REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $600.00. *TR

I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2005 SERIES GMC ENVOY, CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. BASICALLY THE COOLING FAN CLUTCH GOES BAD EASILY AND QUICKLY. WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE IT IS FINE BUT AFTER THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO ENGAGE IT EITHER CLICKS, AND DOESN'T ENGAGE OR IT JUST MAKES THAT COMMON JET ENGINE ROARING. THIS IS ALL TO COMMON AND GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE WITH 40,000 MILES OR 140,000. I MY SELF AM ON MY SECOND ONE AND IT IS ALREADY DOING TO THE SAME THING AFTER 5 MONTHS. *TR

A RECALL HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED FOR GMC ENVOY. DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL SHORTS OUT AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE. RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2007 MODEL YEARS. MY CAR IS A 2005 AND THE DRIVER DOOR CONTROLS HAVE BEEN SHORTING OUT FOR ABOUT A YEAR. I HAVE NOT YET HAD A FIRE BUT WHY WAS MY MODEL YEAR NOT RECALLED AND WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO HAVE THIS MODEL YEAR INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE RAMP, MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER IN AND OUT. AT ONE POINT THE LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT. AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. WENT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

WE PARKED OUR GMC ENVOY IN THE DRIVEWAY THE EVENING OF 6/8/13 AROUND 7:30 PM. I HADN'T USED THE REAR HATCH AT ALL ON THIS DAY. MY HUSBAND WAS OUTSIDE AND LEFT AND CAME BACK IN HIS VEHICLE AFTER MIDNIGHT. SO SOMETIME IN THE EARLY HOURS OF 6/9/13 THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. AT FIRST WE THOUGH SOMETHING OR SOMEONE BROKE IT, HOWEVER THERE WERE NO FOREIGN OBJECTS FOUND THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT THE BREAK. IT WASN'T A NICK OR CRACK, THE GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. MOST OF THE GLASS WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE SIDE WALK WITH ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH I FOUND MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER GMC ENVOYS. IN SOME CASES PEOPLE WERE NEAR ENOUGH AND SOME BEING INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND INCURRED INJURIES WITH NO KNOWN OR APPARENT CAUSE FOR THE GLASS TO BE SHATTERED. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE INSIDE SLEEPING AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE PROBLEM COMES IN THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED EVEN WITH MY INSURANCE AS MY DEDUCTIBLE HASN'T BEEN MET, SO WE HAVE PLASTIC OVER IT. WITH ALL THE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE GMC CLAIMS TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING, BUT WONDER IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO COMPENSATE REPLACING THE GLASS. *TR

ON WAY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 8:00 PM CENTRAL TIME AT NIGHT TO MOTHERS HOUSE AT SPEED OF 45 MPH WHICH IS SPEED LIMIT 55 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS START FLICKERING ON AND OFF. AS I STILL DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING ON AND OFF GOT WORSE AND WORSE. I WAS IMMEDIATELY CONCERN WITH THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD THAT I HAD TO STOP AT A STORE TO CHECK THE LIGHTS. LIGHTS AND VEHICLE IS INTACT AND NOTHING SEEM TO CAUSE ANY OBSTRUCTION FOR THE LIGHTS TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. I IMMEDIATELY CAME HOME WHICH I WAS ONLY 15 MILES FROM THE HOUSE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY VEHICLE STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN AND THEN THE YELLOW EMPTY LIGHT CAME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING. EVEN AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. I'M NOW AT THE POINT I HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF MY GAS USAGE BY USING MY TRIP METER AND TRACKING THE MILES THAT I DRIVE. I'M AFRAID TO TAKE MY VEHICLE ON LONG TRIPS, NOT KNOWING WHEN I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR AND DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION SENSOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE INVESTIGATOR THAT WAS DEPLOYED WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000. *TR

THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON 2-15-2013 ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE SE DURING RUSH HOUR THE OTHER CAR DID NOT YIELD TO ONGOING TRAFFIC ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE AND DODGED OUT FROM A SIDE STREET AND HIT MY VEHICLE ON THE FRONT SIDE AND MY SON WHO IS 13 HEAD HIT THE DASHBOARD AND MY DAUGHTERS DOG FLEW FROM THE BACK SEAT UP TO THE FRONT. THE OTHER VEHICLE AIRBAG DID DEPLOY BUT MINES DID NOT. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY BOUGHT IN FEBRUARY OF 2011. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE FUEL GAUGE ONLY REGISTERS AS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE TANK. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING IN APRIL 2011. SHOWING EMPTY EVEN WHEN FULL. TOOK TO DEALER. MENTIONED I HEARD TRAILBLAZERS ALSO HAVING ISSUE. WAS TOLD NO RECALLS. HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. FINALLY GOT NOTICE CAN GET PORTION OF MONEY BACK. IT TOOK MONTHS TO GET PORTION OF MONEY BACK. I HAD TO KEEP FOLLOWING UP EVEN THOUGH THEY CONFIRMED THEY HAD MY PAPERWORK. STRIKE 1. HAD CAR IN FOR 100,000 MILE SERVICE, 9/24 - 9/25/2012, ONLY TO GO BACK LATER BECAUSE OF CAR SEEMING TO NOW HAVE ISSUES ACCELERATING AND CAR WAS NOT RESET AFTER OIL CHANGE. TOLD NEEDED ENGINE MOUNTS. DISPUTED THIS AS SEEMS STRANGE CAR WAS RUNNING AND SOUNDING FINE BEFORE 100K MILE SERVICE. WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH DEALER.TOOK CAR BACK TO HAVE MASTER TECH CHECK AND ALSO BECAUSE OIL GAUGE STUCK IN ONE SPOT. WENT IN 12/31/2012. WAS QUOTED REPAIR PRICE FOR OIL SENSOR AND NOW REPAIR QUOTE NOT ONLY HAS ENGINE MOUNT REPLACEMENT BUT ALSO QUOTED TRANS MOUNT REPLACEMENT. REALLY....REFUSED REPAIR. STRIKE 2 AND 3. BTW, ALSO NEEDED NEW TIRES. I WENT TO OTHER DEALER APPROXIMATELY 35 MINUTES AWAY INSTEAD TO GET TIRES. ON 3/5/2013, ON WAY HOME NOTICE SPEEDOMETER SHOWING ABOUT 90 MILES EVEN THOUGH GPS SAYS I'M ONLY DOING ABOUT 67. EXITED INTERSTATE, SHUT CAR OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. NO CHANGE. GOT HOME, TURNED CAR OFF. SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 20 MILES. MORNING OF 3/6/13, STARTED CAR, SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 7 MILES. WORKED FULL DAY. GOT HOME AND IT WAS BACK TO ZERO AFTER TURNING CAR OFF. CURRENT ODOMETER IS APPROXIMATELY 106,102. THESE PEOPLE

I PURCHASED MY ENVOY APPROX. 1 YEAR AGO. I HAVE 105,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AT 50 MPH BUT WOULD SEEM TO ALWAYS END UP FIXING ITSELF. NOW IT IS PEGGED AT 120 AND HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR 2 MONTHS. # 5 ON MY AC/HEAT BLOWER IS NOT WORKING. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON EVERY TIME I START MY CAR. I CAN NOT TURN THEM OFF , USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 30 WIPES IT WILL TURN OFF. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME. AS I AM RESEARCHING THESE PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET, HOPING TO FIND SOME SORT OF RECALL, I FIND MANY OTHER ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS!!!! I REALLY FEEL THAT GMC SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AS MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THIS SITUATION. I HAVE TO SAY WITH THIS MANY PROBLEMS, IT'S THE VEHICLE NOT THE PEOPLE AND I THINK GMC NEEDS TO BACK THEIR PRODUCT AND TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

IN DECEMBER OF THIS PAST YEAR (2012) MY 2005 GMC ENVOY BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. I WOULD BE TRAVELING DOWN THE A BUSY ROAD AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BARLEY MOVING AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 80MPH. THE NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE ANYWHERE FROM 20 MPH ALL THE WAY UP TO 120 MPH AND PEG THERE. ONE OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL 0 MPH AND WORK NORMALLY, BUT NOW THAT IS AN EXTREMELY RARE OCCURRENCE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NO LONGER MEASURING MY SPEED, AND WAS STUCK ON 70MPH. THE NEEDLE REMAINED THERE, OCCASIONALLY LOWERING ITSELF IN 5MPH INCREMENTS AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, BUT THEN GETTING STUCK AGAIN WHEN DRIVING. THE NEEDLE GENERALLY BURIES ITSELF AT 120+ AND DOES NOT READJUST EVEN BY SMALL INCREMENTS ANYMORE. MY FUEL GAUGE IS ALSO NOT WORKING, READS ON E REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, I WONDER IF THESE TWO PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED? *TR

ELECTRICAL FIRE APPEAR TO HAVE STARTED UNDER DASH ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THR BLOWER MOTOR IS LOCATED. *TR

REAR WINDSHIELD/BACK WINDOW SHATTERED ON IT'S OWN WHILE PARKED IN PARKING LOT. COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY OR WHAT HAD CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SHOP FOR WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED, AND WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR TO LEAVE THE SHOP THE REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED AGAIN. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME AND THIS SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF BOTH OF US. THE SHOP COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS AND REPLACED THE WINDOW FOR A 2ND TIME. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOOGLED 'GMC ENVOY, REAR WINDOW' AND SEE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS WITH ENVOYS OF DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO HERE FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE OF US DRIVING THESE VEHICLES. *TR

ALMOST DUSK, HIGH BEAMS WERE ON. THOUGHT I SAW A FLICKER. GOT BEHIND ANOTHER CAR AND SAW THAT IT WAS MY LIGHTS. LOOKED TO MY PANEL AND MY VOLTAGE WAS SWINGING BETWEEN 9 VOLTS UP TO 18-19 VOLTS. TURNED ALL POWER DRAW OFF EXCEPT MY LOW BEAMS. NEEDLE KEPT SWINGING AND LIGHTS KEPT FLASHING. WAS 6 MILES FROM HOME. I MADE IT. THERE WAS A DISCHARGE TO MY SYSTEM INSTEAD OF CONTINUEING TO CHARGE. TOOK TO DEALER. NOTHING FOUND. 11-6-2012 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED INBETWEEN ALSO. VERY INTERMITTANT. HAD BATTTERY & ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. ALWAYS GOOD. AFTER INCIDENTS, WORKS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME. NEVER HAPPENED IN SUMMER. ALWAYS WHEN COOLER WEATHER. NOW THAT IT IS DECEMBER, AFRAID TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. THERE MUST A BULLENTIN OR RECALL??? TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF MY CAR. ENGINE IS GOOD. ONLY 69,000 MILES. IS DEALER JUST ACTING DUMB? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. AFTER SOME TIME, SEVERAL OF THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD MALFUNCTIONED AS WELL. THE HEAD LIGHTS ALSO BEGAN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSIS BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY AFTER FILLING TANK. LIGHT & SOUND SENSORS INDICATE LOW FUEL LEVEL. FUEL MUST DRAIN SLOWLY INTO TANK OR GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF. ELECTRICAL DASH INDICATORS DO NOT WORK FOR A TIME AFTER FUELING SO CANNOT SET THE TRIP INDICATOR TO GAUGE THE MILEAGE TO A TANK OF GAS. FUEL ON OCCASION DOES NOT SHUT OFF AT THE GAS PUMP WHEN TANK IS FULL. *TR

GAS GAUGE CONTINUOUSLY FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL EVEN WITH A FULL TANK, THIS ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT A RECALL HAS YET TO BE ISSUED. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WILL COVER HALF THE COST. WHY NOT THE WHOLE COST SINCE THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT? *TR

SERVICE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER REPAIRED , GAS GAUGE GOES CRAZY, TACHOMETER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY LIGHTS DIM AND FLASH, WINDSHIELD HAS RECALL NEEDS REPLACED , GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM KEEPS FAILING. THREE RECALLS NEED TO BE REPLACED GMC ADMITS FAULT TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, NOTED ON WEBSITE SAFERCAR.GOV. WANT TO KNOW WHAT DEALER TO BRING MY CAR TO FOR REPAIRS. I AM A CANCER PATIENT WITH METASTATIC LIVER CANCER I HAVE THOUSAND OF DOLLARS WORTH OF MEDICAL, I CAN'T KEEP PAYING FOR THIS CAR TO BE REPAIRED WHEN GMC OWNS UP TO THE FACT THAT THESE DEFECTS ARE THEIR FAULT PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO TAKE THIS ENVOY FOR THEM TO FIX ALL THESE PROBLEMS THANK YOU *TR

HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM, THEN BRIGHTEN REPEATEDLY, AS TO APPEAR TO BE "FLASHING" OTHER DRIVERS. SHORTLY AFTER, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED. AFTER THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, A FEW DAYS LATER THE BATTERY GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING RIGHT. NOW, THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY JERKS, LIKE IT IS MISSING DUE TO LACK OF FUEL. CONTACTED GMC ON 11-09-2012. NO SOLUTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS PEGGED AT OVER 120MPH. WHEN I STOPPED IT WAS STILL PEGGED OVER 120 MPH. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE REPAIRS TO THE GAS GAUGE. I HAD JUST FILLED UP AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. *TR

AFTER RECEIVING RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP AND SENDER,GAS GAUGE STARTED ACTING UP. WHEN FILLING, GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY WITH LIGHT ON OR WOULD GO ALL AROUND PASS FULL. WIFE HAD TO USE TRIP METER TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN TANK. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID LEVEL SENSOR FAILED AND REPLACED SAME AT NO COST. PICKED CAR UP AND WAS DRIVING ABOUT WEEK, WHEN WIFE SAID GAUGE NOT WORKING AGAIN. CHECKED AND FOUND WHEN CAR WAS STARTED GAUGE WENT TO HALF, TURNED CAR OFF GAUGE STAYED AT HALF AND WHEN STARTED AGAIN WENT TO 3/4 FULL. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND GAUGE WENT PASS FULL. CALLED DEALER TO ASK IF GM HAD COME UP WITH SOMETHING FOR THEIR CARS TO MAKE FUEL SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $5.00 PER GAL. THEY SAID NO, SO TOOK CAR BACK TO HAVE CHECKED AGAIN. THIS TIME WAS TOLD IT WAS CLUSTER WHICH WAS BAD. SO HAD REPLACED AT A COST OF $486.10 AND GUESS WHAT NOT PART OF RECALL. SO HAD TO PAYOUT OF POCKET. I TOLD THEM THEY NEED TO STOP PUTTING SO MANY CHINESE PARTS INTO SO CALLED MADE IN AMERICA CARS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT TALK TO EACH OTHER. JUST CROSSING FINGERS IT WILL GET ME TO MIDWEST AND BACK BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE GOES BAD. NEED THE GOOD OLD DAYS BACK WHEN YOU DIDN'T NEED A COMPUTER TO TROUBLE SHOOT A COMPUTER IN YOUR CAR. OH BY THE WAY, YOU CANNOT EXPECT THE POLITICIANS TO CALL FOR GM TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS, BECAUSE IT MIGHT LOWER THEIR STOCKS FROM INSIDE TRADING, WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THEY WERE BAILING GM OUT FROM BANKRUPTCY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE ABNORMALLY AND THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXACT LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED FOR SOME TIME. IN ADDITION, THE SPEEDOMETER ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD COVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,224. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 12/11/12*LJ
