Six problems related to engine stall have been reported for the 2004 GMC Envoy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle was being driving approximately at 55 mph. Engine loss power, gas pedal lost resistance and went all the way down to the floor board. Vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and engine was stalled and all the dash lights were flashing one and off. Engine started to have white smoke coming from under the hood. After a few minutes, the white smoke turned into black smoke and the engine caught on fire. Vehicle was engulfed in flames after a few minutes.
The contact owns a 2004 GMC Envoy xl. The contact stated that when the vehicle was idle for a prolonged period of time, the engine would stall upon initial startup. The engine warning light was illuminated prior to start-up however, the engine would not respond. The contact was able to start the vehicle after several attempts, which resumed normally. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The manufacturer was alerted about the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was unavailable.
The "check gauges" light flashes followed by "low oil pressure" followed by "stop engine" and the engine stalls. Each time this happens the ac has been on. Sent to dealer and they were unable to reproduce this issue. Has happened 3 times now. Very scary.
Engine stalls when you slow down and the air conditioner or widow defogger is on . I have also had power surging. I had to replace the map sensor twice and the bracket and it is still showing bad. I also replace the cam shaft position sensor and the thermostat. Also the wiper on the rear will not spray any water or washer.
I purchased a used 2004 GMC Envoy slt, with an extended warranty from grand prix auto group, hicksville, NY in August 2008. Soon after purchasing the car it stalled while we were at a red light. Immediately brought the truck back to the dealer and they said they fixed it, may I mention it never stopped stalling. Then the speedometer broke again. It constantly says I'm traveling 120 miles an hour. Once again, brought it back to the dealer, they tell me I need to go to a GMC dealer, I do, they replace the information cluster and speedometer, had to pay a $ 300. 00 deductible. This was in March 2009. Driving the other day October 2009 and the speedometer once again says 120. Get pulled over, get a ticket for a broken speedometer. The officer was aware I was not traveling at that speed, and even when I tried to explain, wanted to hear none of it. So now here I am again, broken speedometer, engine that stalls often and a summons to boot. I need help and I don't know where else to turn the dealerships are of no help. Jacqueline king.
I bought my GMC Envoy in January 2004 for approx. $42,000. This car has everything. After about 2 months of the purchase, my gps went out and had been fixed twice. My brakes do not always work --sometimes they slip especially when I need them most -which is scary. GMC said that they have heard about this problem before, but did nothing to resolve the problem. The engine stalls periodically. GMC said they do not know why. The gas gauge and odometer do not work properly. When I brought my vehicle into north county GMC dealership in san diego for repairs I mentioned my gas gauge did not work along with many of the other issues. After they repaired the odometer by replacing the cluster, the gas gauge still did not work. Every single time these problems happen I am forced to pay a $100 service charge just so they can look at it and because I am in sales, I am also forced to get a rental car. After all this, I am still quite displeased with GMC. I hate to say it but they are supposed to be the best american car ã‚??professional gradeã‚?? and if this is true I will never buy an american vehicle again. GMC said they would be checking on all these problems and every single time I picked my Envoy up after they supposedly fixed the problems, I found several issues still unresolved. They suggest I need to set another meeting to bring my Envoy in and of course will cost another $100.
