2005 GMC Envoy: windshield wiper failure

Filed Apr 1, 2022 · Brakes, Electrical · MI

All the gages have stopped working correctly. They do not report proper information to driver . The electrical wiring to the rear wiper, license plate lights and rear hatch stopped working. The most dangerous thing is the ABS brake system dash lights and bell comes on every time the car is driven and the brake pedal goes to the floor when trying to stop.

The gas gauge stays on empty when there is a full tank of gas. There rear windshield wiper comes on by itself. The radio plays like it is in a tin box. Every so often it will play normal. But most of the time it doesn't. This happens when it is moving or in park.

I was driving about 25 miles per hour @ night when all the warning lights on the dash came on and all the gauges read zero except the speedometer and tach, transmission gear selector wasn't indicating what gear I was in & radio also killed. Headlights, wipers & directions were still functional. I only had a mile to drive to get home. Parked vehicle in garage and shut off....only to discover that power locks had failed and I was locked in car, power windows were also out! Removed key from ignition and fortunately the remote key fob unlocked the door. Had this been an emergency situation, I would have no way to exit the car nor would any passengers. Anyone else having this problem? I contacted dealer to apprize them of this new problem and was advised that if it's intermittent they would have problems fixing it. The vehicle seemed to reset in the morning and all dash warning lights back to normal!

Fuel light came on, speedometer stopped working, engine cut off. Before that, the muffler started making rumbling noise. I had just fueled the vehicle. Findings by aaa: ABS bad had to be replaced 1056$ and realignment. 2. Exhaust manifold and pipe replacement 400. Don't know about fuel system yet brakes /ABS is 3rd time since buying the car in 2006. 2nd time for engine issues. Car started overheating on beltway this week and blower motor not working right. Also have issues with window passenger side front wont work now and rear wiper stopped working. Holy you know! Think I got a lemon!

I purchased my envoy approx. 1 year ago. I have 105,000 miles on it currently. My speedometer would get stuck at 50 MPH but would seem to always end up fixing itself. Now it is pegged at 120 and has been that way for 2 months. # 5 on my AC/heat blower is not working. My engine light is on. My windshield wipers turn on every time I start my car. I can not turn them off , usually after about 30 wipes it will turn off. This is very frustrating to me. As I am researching these problems on the internet, hoping to find some sort of recall, I find many other envoy owners with the same problems!!!! I really feel that gmc should be responsible for this as many people are in this situation. I have to say with this many problems, it's the vehicle not the people and I think gmc needs to back their product and take care of these issues.

Windshield wipers will not stop wiping when control is moved to stop. Must stop vehicle, turn ignition off in order to turn the wipers off.

The wipers were the first to go. That needed a control module. The touch pads for the tail gate were next. First the drop down then the swing. Then the right side passenger door inside handle stopped working. Then the left side rear door outside handle doesn't work. Then the four wheel drive doesn't work. Then the fuel gauge doesn't work. Now the passenger's window doesn't open. 5th speed on the heater stopped working. What is the matter with gmc? That is a high end vehicle and as such should not be plagued with such problems.

Tl*- the contact owns a 2003 gmc envoy. The headlights, dashboard, and tail lights flashed randomly at any speed, this failure started in october of 2006. The weather and time of day were not factors in the failure. The dealership said that the failure was normal. There were tsbs for the failure, as well as for several others. The fuel neck had been replaced twice due to a design change. The seal around the licenses place holder came loose and had to be replaced. The brake pedal was squeaking, the contact took vehicle for service on three occasions, and replaced the serpentine belt twice, an airbag sensor, the rear wiper arm, the oxygen sensor twice ,the first time at 7000 miles. There were cruise control failures, when the contact tried to accelerate it hesitated and then surged. The weather stripping on the rear doors has been repaired three times. The ABS would skip on a bumpy road and would not engage. At one point the contact could smell fuel in the passenger compartment and vehicle had very poor gas mileage, the dealer stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, but air valve became stuck and would not close. The rear door hinges squeaked. This winter it won't go to full voltage until a minute elapsed after the vehicle has been started. The original failure mileage was 3829, and the current mileage was 23700.*ak the brakes were inoperative, the belts squeaked, there was a problem with the ABS, the air bag light illuminated, the cruise control didn't work properly, the rear wiper would only wipe the middle of the back windshield. A new fuel neck was installed. Updated 03/15/07.

I recently bought an gmc envoy xuv suddenly one day while I was driving it and it started raining, I turned on the wipers and then adjusted it to the slowest mode. They stopped working and I had to drive home in the rain with poor visibility. I also bought an extended warranty on my vehicle and as of this date there are only approximately 6000 miles on the car. I called to have it looked at and was told it may not be covered by my warranty so far I have not had this problem fixed and therefore have not been using this vehicle. Until I get better service at gmc I will continue to not use it.
