general problems of the 2004 GMC Envoy

Headlight's,taillight's,turn signals stop working whenever they want. It's pretty scary to lose your headlight's when your driving at night. There's nothing I can do about it,except to sit wherever it happend and wait for them to come back on. My wife was following me one day and told me my brakelight's and turn signal stopped working and started to work again,she said this happened a couple time's at the same red light. There a couple of thing's (electrical)inside the vehicle that don't work anymore but I really dont care about them. To get the odometer to work I have to knock pretty hard on the plastic cover that cover's the instrument cluster,sometimes it stay's on,most of the time it wont stay on. The dic (driver control center) doesn't work anymore. I cant even get to it. The speakers on the left side of the vehicle dont work anymore. I thought I would tell you about the inside also because it could be part of the problem. All of this happened when I was driving home from my daughter's two night's ago. I bought this vehicle about three or four's year's ago,and I had no problem's with it untill the other night. The person I bought it from is a good friend of mine. He said he never had a problem with it,plus I have been in this vehicle countless times,that's why I bought it. Thank you.

I was driving in the city at night time and my low beam lights quit working. I did not notice it right away because of the street lights. This could have caused an accident and put my husband, daughter and myself at risk.

I was driving down the road from work all of a sudden my radio starts going up /down by itself,then the next day my windows made a clicking noise now they want let up/down . Also the back tailgate was working unitl this happen my window in back want let up/down nor will the sunroof controls want work. All this happen at once !!!!!! the fuses was check nothing found.

Parked the vehicle in a parking garage so I know the lights were working when we went in. As we were leaving approximately 3 hours later, the low beams would not come on at all. Had to run high beams; had several people look at the fuses, replaced bulbs, etc. But they could not find the problem. A couple of weeks later just before I was taking it to a dealer to look at the problem the low beams began working again. Approximately two months later the exact same thing happened only this time I heard a faint noise from the engine compartment and smelled a burning (seemed electrical) aroma for a few seconds when I realized the low-beam lights were not working again. After a week or so the lights came back on again.

Went to replace head light bulb to find out that I had to replace the wiring do to it was melted. The filler neck on the fuel tank is cracked, causing an evap leak in witch I found out through a garage and 5 diff. Salvage yards. And last, 6 diff. Times will driving I lost power will driving. I had to turn the ignition off, wait about 3 sec. Before it would start and go. The first time was in the middle of an intersection and the rest happened while on a regular road. I explained to my wife what to do if this happens to her and it did once, the others while I was driving.

Noticed smoke coming from under the hood and then passenger side head light went out. Upon investigation I noticed the light socket for the head light was melted. I did some research and learned that this appears to be a very common problem, with some actually causing fire or accidents.

I have been reading many of these post. I can't believe all of the things that have also happened to my Envoy. I have had my back window blow out while driving, thank god that both of my kids that were in the back seat were not hurt, they were just scared and still ask if it will happen again. I also recently just had to have a piece on the gas line fixed which was almost $900. 00 money that I didn't have and had to borrow. I am still paying it back. Now as for last night my low beams are not working, I bought new bulbs and that didn't work, so it is back to the mechanic. Oh and I have a check engine light that goes on and off. They really need to get on all of these things. It would be nice to have the car working the way it should be. I may just print these things up and bring to the GMC shop and see what the can do about it. I mean I really to love my SUV but this is crazy. I am now kind of scared to have my kids in the car.

The contact owns a 2004 GMC Envoy xl. The contact stated that the interior lighting on the front driver¿s side door would dim and illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 99,700. Updated 8/12/cn.

The low beams will not come on !!! this nearly caused an accident ! please I beg of you "recall".

Cluster want power up properly at start up. Warning lights give false information. And now radio sometimes want play correctly. Ac fan want work on all speeds also at times. I looked up recalls and there was one 03v096000 but it did not cover my year. You can get different displays giving bad information on every start up.

High beams on vehicle project straight up to the sky. When weather is clear it is not noticeable but when raining, foggy or snowing visibility is affected a great deal. My internet search indicated a problem with an aftermarket headlamp assembly but mine are gm stamped. This is definitely a safety issue.

Windshield wipers when turned, even if the mist or wash is selected will not turn off without shutting the vehicle off for approx. 15 minutes also both head low beam head lights will not turn on with or without the switch.
