The speedometer on my 2004 gmc envoy began acting erratically, sometimes reading too low, and other times reading too high. I was charged $511 by a gm dealer to replace the instrument cluster. The incident date indicated is approximate. With regard to number of failures, this is the approximate number of times I initially observed the speedometer reading too low or too high. Each failure lasted for a number of days and then the speedometer seemed to read correctly for a week or two before the next failure.

Speedometer on 2004 envoy xuv lease started acting erratically after warranty had run out. Showed 120 MPH at resting sometimes, often stuck at 120-130 MPH. This appeared to be a known defect from my research, and the dealer wanted me to pay for this when turning the car in.
1) the speedometer stopped working a few months ago. 2) my inspection sticker is now due to be replaced, but I can't get one without the speedometer working. 3) customer service thru gmc was no help at all. They said I needed to take it to the dealership to have it looked at. Which I will have to pay for, then they will review the case. Oh how nice, review it just to tell me I have to pay for it?! I've seen thousands of people reporting this on the internet. Why hasn't anything been done? If your everyday average joe is responsible for the work/products he/she puts out, why not the big corporations?
Whenever I turn on my heating system fan, my warning lights for the ABS and brake failure lights come on and the on dash computer indicates service brakes immediately. I had the brakes checked and they are fine. There appears to be some electronic malfunction. Car is at dealer now
The speedometer has become erratic on my 2004 gmc envoy xuv. I am told it will require removal & repair in the range of 500-600 dollars. This appears to be a manufacturing defect that conveniently appears shortly after the expiration of the warranty. From web posts it is obviously a widespread problem that should be addressed by the manufacturer.

2004 gmc envoy speedometer slows down to zero at highway speeds.
Driving on the highway apx 70 MPH. Speedometer was indications 110 MPH. Pulled over and speedometer still indicated 35 MPH while I was stopped.
2004 gmc envoy xuv I have a little over 40,000 miles and my speedometer has stopped working. It says I'm going 120 MPH when I may be doing 50 MPH. The needle moves erratically. I'm finding I'm not the only gm customer having this problem. I feel this should be a safety recall. Especially on a vehicle that's only 2 years old w/ under 50,000 miles. This is a road hazard and an expense I should not have to pay.
