I just had my brakes serviced and my bushings changed, but my ABS light still comes on. Also when I go to brake the car starts to shake and I'm going the speed limit. The engine has a rough idle, and shuts off when at a complete stop and when the vehicle is in motion. I've had many things replaced on the vehicle, such as purge valve, gas cap. Charcoal canister and fuel tank. In the engine the spark plugs were changed as well as the coil packs and the fuel injectors. Along with the camshaft sensor. Still getting p0455 and po0014. Won't pass smog can't register vehicle, but my only means of transportation. 2004 gmc envoy xuv slt 4dr 2wd

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
The ABS light stayed on after the fact I had the breaks serviced a few years ago. The airbag light has been on for about a year. Now my break light stopped working, I replaced the fuse and still not working and now the headlamps stopped working. They only work on high beam.
While at low speed I press the brakes to stop it goes to stop but then its like the ABS kicks in and releases the brakes then I have to repress the brakes to get it to stop
2004 xuv. 76000 gas tank has a leak , ABS module is out and there is no recalls for any of this itmes. Airbag light is always on sold new that way were. Ever able to repair it.
Instrument panel cluster issues. Driver 1 resets to unknown driver, ABS light, seatbelt light, 4-wheel drive, etc. Lights flash on and off, battery gage fluctuates, headlights and instrument panel lights flicker dim to bright. Occurs while driving down the road very sporadic. Diagnostic stated faulty instrument panel cluster. Issue if not fixed, the vehicle could stall when driving and lose power.
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.
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!!
On-going issues with my 2004 gmc envoy since purchase. Leave home, travel to destination, usually a short distance, when trying to restart vehicle all dash lights come on, radio works, windows work, etc., turn the key to start and nothing happens, no attempt at starting what-so-ever. Makes no difference with temperature, time of day, rain/shine, etc. Often if you leave the vehicle to sit for an hour, it will restart, sometimes sooner, sometimes not at all. First incident happened when we had 308 km on the vehicle, now we have 68,000 km and problem still exists. They have changed the ignition switch numerous times, reprogrammed the settings for international vs domestic in regards to the apparent security system that I have, which we discovered has never worked either. Numerous issues with the ABS coming on with dry pavement. Water in rear backup lights, they were drained and re-sealed. Rust on all interior door panels, back door and hood where joints meet, repaired. Water on the floor at the door when it rains, fixed seal at door. Drivers side door locked when you left the vehicle without locking it myself, reprogrammed. Interior door trim/seal repeatedly falls off from back right passenger door. 10 months left on our lease....can't wait to find a new vehicle. Completely not satisfied with the vehicle or by the service we have received.
Rainy conditions... Slick conditions. Skidded while traveling 20-25 MPH... Skidded over the left side of median, corrected and couldn't regain control. >ABS brakes failed (ABS light on during end of skid into crash). Car landed in ditched, 90 degrees onto passenger side. Total loss to car. Slight injury to driver. >airbags never deployed upon rollover to passenger side.
Dt*: the contact stated intermittently the vehicle coasts through intersections while the brake pedal is depressed. Also, the brake pedal has collapsed to the floor on other occasions. In addition, the ABS activates on dry pavement. When the vehicle was taken to the dealership for the ABS, they replaced the control valve which caused the brake pedal to have more movement. The master cylinder was also replaced, but this did not remedy the problem. The contact feels it should be a recall issue. Wisconsin state attorney general is working to get wisconsin included in 14 state recall list. Updated on 06/01/2006. *ak
My gmc envoy is not a year old....bought may 2004. And sometimes the brakes do not work. As I am approaching the traffic stop and I step on the brakes..my vehicle is not stopping until I get very close to traffic. I do not feel safe in my vehicle but its my only liable transportation. I tried taking it to my dealer, but they can not find anything wrong. They just advised me that the ABS is doing it's job. I think that if the ABS is doing its job, the vehicle would stop right away, not went I'm near killing myself and others!!! My dealer says that I should trade it in, but I owe alot on this vehicle already!!! What else can I do? I had 3 incidents already. The last incident date is recorded below. I also had other things happen to my vehicle as well, such as trottling noise in the engine and once the vehicle completely stop and there was major noise from the engine. The check engine message also lights up every one in a while. I feel that my dealer which is called performance of farmington new mexico, are waiting until my warranty ends or until I have a vehicle accident. I need some help.
