Speedometer flucuates past 120 and sometimes drops past 0 while driving. The fuel gauge will show full even when it's not.

The speedometer and gas gauge in my 2004 envoy do not work. Just like everyone else here the speedometer in mine sometimes reads over 100 MPH when I might be doing 35mph. Most of the time it just stays at 0 so I don't know how fast I'm going. The gas gauge just doesn't work at all. I can't afford the repair and from all the other complaints I've seen gm should fix it for free anyway. How many people have to complain before the ntsb will get behind the car owners? One person here said that gm actually won a lawsuit and was compensated for the faulty parts but did not do the recall on the envoys!

First my speedometer stopped registering a speed followed by the gas gauge going out. My radio goes in and out (more out than in), my sunroof started opening and closing on its own when turning the car on and off, and the roof leaks around where the visor is when it rains hard. I have seen many other consumers with these same problems and would really like to have these problems addressed by someone at gmc.

Starting shortly after envoy was bought I noticed that the fuel gauge would show quarter tank one, then after shutting off and starting again it was out of fuel and the light was on. In july 2011 the oil pressure gauge went high and it is now pegged and doesn't reset. I asked dealer about it and there was an outrageous price just to diagnose. Jan 2012 and now speedometer gauge does not reset, it is stuck at 30 MPH and goes up to 85-90 when driving. After researching today I see a service bulletin about the instrument cluster, I never received the instrument cluster letter from gm, because envoy wasn't included, but it is the same issues as other vehicle on the service bulletin. Please hold gm responsible for these defects.

Speedometer begin sticking above zero when car was turned off. Gradually, the speedo stuck higher and higher, until it remained pegged and ceased to function. Soon after, all instruments in the panel successive failed - including fuel gauge, tachometer, oil pressure, and battery level... It appears to be at this point a complete failure of the instrument cluster. Most worrisome, the speedometer and the fuel gauge read incorrectly at all times, if they read at all.

The cluster gauge quit working. First the gas gauge stopped reading the amount of gas in the tank. Second, the speedometer and tachometer quit reading. About a month later the oil pressure gauge stopped working. Currently out of the entire cluster gauge system the battery meter is the only gauge that works.

2004 gmc envoy. Faulty gas gauge. Car has a full tank but gas gauge reads 1/4 tank to empty.
