I have a 2005 GMC Envoy and I have had to replace a water pump, a blower motor wiring harness that melted into my truck, the lights are half out on me heater and my door panel where you put the windows up and down, the winshield wiper in the back works when it wants my speed ometer is stuck on 40 even when its off and my check engine light is on and I bought this truck less than 2 years ago!.
My speedometer has stopped working. The gas gauge says empty when I have just fueled the car to full. The car will surge forward when I am backing out of the drive way and putting car in drive. I have to immediately press on the brake and return the car to neutral position to stop from running into parked cars or the curb. Tonight we were leaving the park and both headlights ( low beam) are not working. All other lights and flashers on the car work. The interior light on the left half of the a/c controller does not work. The motor in the rear window went out. The dealership charged me $ 1000 to replace the motor and then they advised me that the middle window motor was bad and that would be an additional $600 to repair. I only could afford the back window motor. This car is my only mode of transportation and I cannot believe that gm has npt placed a recall on all of these issues.
The contact owns a 2005 GMC Envoy. While driving at an unknown speed, the interior and exterior head lamps failed simultaneously without warning. As a consequence, visibility is significantly reduced, which increases the risk of a crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times, but they cannot determine the cause of the failure. He is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 26,000 and current mileage was 46,000.
1. I purchased a 2004 Envoy. The dealer I purchased it from had it under warranty. 2 weeks after I purchased, the interior lights were coming on and off, the automatic door locks started to lock by themselves simultaneously. Non stop. It scares my children, as well as I, because I don't know if it's going to spark a fire or what. Sometimes it does it more than others, for example, when it rains, but it only does it when I roll the driver's side window up. Even if its not down and I roll it up it does it. As well as if I hit a small pot hole and sometimes it just does it on its on. I've taken it to a GMC dealer 4 or more times and they can't find the problem any where. So, nothing has been done to fix this problem because no one can find a solution. I park my $18,000 vehicle next to the road in case it does spark a fire. Please inform me if anything is available or who I need to contact at GMC to find an answer.
I have been experiencing headlights, interior lights, lighting in the dash, and other lighting flicker while driving. It appears to be happening more and more. The lights become very dim and then get bright again in a matter of a few seconds. This is getting to be dangerous as people tend to pull over in front of me and sometimes traffic in going in the opposite direction coming towards me will pull of the road all thinking that I am flashing them either due to an emergency or just some wild driver behind the wheel. I had taken my vehicle to the dealer but he states he can not find anything wrong. Of course he also stated they took it for a ride but it does not happen for them. I guess not, it is hard to see lights flickering in the sunshine.
I own a 2005 Envoy - 7 months after owning it - while driving in the dark all the sudden the headlights and dash/radio/mirror lights started flashing on and off. "like a cop car" to the point we pressed on star-afraid the car was going to stall on busy/dark freeway. When I called a dealer they said OH "that's normal" you had to much running and new cars can not handle "heater/radio etc. "its no big deal" > I called another dealer and they said no-this is a problem bring the car in. Ends up there was a bulletin for this and the chip had to be updated. Very wrong for the one dealer to say no big deal-when they know a update was out.
Power steering rack failed at highway speeds, making it difficult to steer vehicle. Dealer has inspected vehicle and determined that steering rack would need to be replaced. There was a loud noise due to no fluid in the power steering reservoir. Rear differential leaks. Driver side front and rear doors rattle and flew over large bumps. Interior courtesy lights do not come on when passenger side door is open.
