What 2004 GMC Envoy owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My envoy's cruise control will not engage at any speed above 60 MPH. When the cruise control button is pressed the cruise control light will come on and go off again, without engaging the cruise control setting. However, at anything 55 and under the cruise control will engage fine. Also my 4x4 will not work either.
Speedometer flucuates past 120 and sometimes drops past 0 while driving. The fuel gauge will show full even when it's not.
After driving vehicle tends to lunge forward even after brakes are stepped on or after parked at a red light, in the first case driving at highway speeds, the speedometer freezes and hangs, during this occurrence we do not know what speed limit we are going which is scary and a safety concern especially with children in the car, to troubleshoot the problem and bring speedometer down to zero MPH, the car would need to be turned on and off numerous times to set back to zero
The cruise control is intermittent.
Speedometer is completely disabled , RPM and battery guages inoperable and gas guage sometimes does not work. I understand there was a recall but I did not receive any notification and now I am told it will cost between $400 and $500 to repair.
While traveling at highway speeds with a 2004 envoy the instrument cluster displays the wrong speed and showing a significantly lower speed or becoming "stuck" showing a higher speed.
I like to know if you receive any complains or somebody report problems with accelerator pedal for gmc envoy (02to05) like loosing power no accident but can cause some thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Right after purchasing. Engine light has been on. Purchased in june/2006, with 40,000miles. 1yr after the RPM gauge quit working, right afterwards,the fuel gauge started messing up, going back & forth,then went out completely, battery/oil gauges are out now. The seat belt lights/airbag lights bing constantly & does not tighten up when put on brakes. When this happens the check gauges light comes on, and at the same time I have difficulty getting it in gear. I am also having trouble setting my cruise control.
