My gmc envoy was parked unattended in my driveway directly next to my house. My sons and I were in the backyard playing when my oldest son went to retrieve his ball from the driveway. He came back screaming mom your truck is on fire.I immediately ran over to see the truck full of fire and smoke. I called 911. The truck damage was already done before the firefighters arrived. It appeared to come from the driver side window area. After doing some research I learned a lot of gmc trucks had recalls on certain parts that could put the vehicle at risk for a for setting it's self on fire.I never received any information on recalls for the window switch or was aware of the national recall until I looked into it the evening of the fire.I strongly believe the window switch is what caused the fire. It had to be a defective product made by the manufacturing company.

Passenger window went down with vehicle off. Smoke came from inside the right front door panel. When the smoke cleared, I disassembled the door and found the window switch with a large hole burned in it. Pics available upon request.

Was park, went to back up and felt like there was no power steering. Ps fluid is good, belt is good, pulley seems fine, no leaks, but very hard to steer. This 2004 gmc envoy has been nothing but a headache....not to mention the speedometer doesn't work properly either.

The RPM (tac) failed and started jumping all over. On 09-14-14 the speedometer started to fail. Did not fix the RPM (tac) at the time. This apparently is an on going problem with these years in the gmc product. Is it a safety issue - yes!!! One now cannot tell ones speed which could cause an accident or a citation to the driver because of this problem. To fix this instrument cluster will be in the $600.00 range. I believe gmc was well aware of this problem in the past years and ignored it - causing owners an undue expense on a vehicle that they paid thousands of dollars for. We bought this vehicle new and have had gmc vehicles for years - unless gmc stands up and takes responsibility I will not consider another gm product. The air conditional line failed in 2014 because of it rubbing on the frame causing me to shut off the rear air conditioner because of the cost to fix it. Gm not allowing after market parts for this fix.

Not sure when as it has been a while. The odometer stopped working and I have filed this online a couple of times but never heard back and I have contacted gmc several times and they said they are fully aware of it as they have had several calls regarding it and it is anywhere from 300.00 to 600.00 to fix it and it could take a couple of days. To me that is not ok. As much as I paid for my vehicle it should not do this. If gmc is aware of it they should have contacted you guys and a notice should have been sent as I have been researching online and I see several complaints about this issue with peoples envoys and they get the same uncaring response from gmc. To me that is a problem,.
