The instrument panel cluster on my GMC Envoy 2004 is defective as it is on a multitude of other gm models between 2003 and 2005. One of the consequences is that the speedometer will not work or will report a faulty reading while operating the vehicle. This is an unsafe driving condition and for some reason gm has not yet issued a recall on this problem for GMC Envoys of the year 2004 even though other years of this model and other models of gm vehicles have been recalled for this exact issue. Please help gm do the right thing by it's Envoy owners. We have certainly bailed them out enough. There is another potentially deadly consequence of this issue. If one were to be driving the vehicle at 60mph using cruise control and the speedometer were to all of a sudden peg itself to 20mph, there would be a sudden and abrupt acceleration as the computer in the car attempted to regain 60mph even though the vehicle was already at that speed. Thank you for your time and attention to this dangerous speed control issue. . [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The speedometer has gotten stuck at 120 mph & will not reset. . . This has happened off & on & I was usually able to reset the speedometer by turning on and off the vehicle several times. . . But now, it has officially stayed at 120mph. I am unable to tell how fast I am actually driving. I know GMC had similar issues with their Chevrolet vehicles - & that resulted in a class action lawsuit to have them issue a recall. . . . I would really like to see a recall on this. . . It is unsafe to drive this way!!.

At various speeds including at rest, instrument panel has failed and then come back up after cutting truck off and restarting it. Now the speedometer and temperature gauges are greatly inaccurate. The speedometer works intermittently and the temperature gauge is always showing hot. Concerning!!!.

Headlights stopped working, speedometer stopped working, fuel gauge stopped working, voltmeter gauge stopped working.

The speedometer is reading incorrectly. For example, if going 25 mph, it shows 70mph. It does not show the same speed each time either. Never goes to 0 mph. This problem just occurred one day.

2005 GMC Envoy out of the blue my speedometer works intermittently and my gas gauge reads empty with light on even though I have a full tank of gas! additionally the factory speakers work intermittently. This vehicle has electrical issues!.

The speed control needle was stuck between 60-120mph on 05-05-2012. Now 05-09-2012 the speed control needle is stuck at 120mph and does not return to 0mph. The vehicle has only 65,000 miles and has been to the dealership several times for panel control problems (air bag) which is still not fixed extended warranty is now expired.

I just bought my car from a private party on Monday 4/23/12. My speedometer was stuck on 80 mph yesterday when it was in park and when I drove it. Now today is is stuck at 120 mph.

The speedometer on my 2005 GMC Envoy has stopped working properly & also the thermostat gauge & the gas gauge. This is a common problem among Envoy owner's & is a safety issue. The instrument cluster needs to be recalled & replaced.

My 2005 Envoy speedometer stops working or sticks. It also does not give correct speed. I currently have to rely on my gps for speed control. Are there any recalls on my vehicle for this problem?.

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that the fuel gauge malfunctioned and failed to provide the correct fuel level reading. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the fuel sensor and the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.

Speedometer and tachometer quit working.

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.

I was on my way to work doing 40 mph when I looked down to check my speed and the speedometer stated that I was going 70 mph and it was going higher. I begin to slow down but the speedometer would not go any less than 70 mph, even when I parked my car at my job it was still reading 70 mph.

I had been driving for about ten minutes when the security light on my instrument panel came on. This is the light indicating the passlock system had initiated. My steering wheel locked up so that I could not turn it at all, and the car began decelerating quickly on its own.

Fuel gauge is not working properly on my vehicle. It stays on "e" when there is plenty of gasoline in the car. There have been several complaints about this that I have seen on websites. Ocassionally the gauge willl move up but then go back to "e". I went to dealer and they said it is a bad fuel senor guage which is in the gasoline tank. Seems like this is a common issue and could cause other problems. The fuel gauge has been like that for over 6 months, as the cost was astronomical and I believe there should be a recall. Additionally, recently my oil pressure gauge has shown the max amount and then last night it went down to the lowest amount on the instrument panel. It goes back and forth from high to low and the oil pressure low light comes on the instrument panel and then goes off. It says to stop engine. There does not appear to be anything physically wrong with my engine and I will be taking it to the dealer tomorrow to confirm that. I believe both of these issues are caused by a faulty instrument panel or electrical system included in gm's models. I have a family member with an older GMC SUV with similar issues and they also had issues with a GMC truck they used to have but got rid of it, due to the malfunctions. Seems like a very common issue that should be resolved by ge.

The contact owns a 2004 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that the gauges on the instrument panel to include the fuel and the speedometer were not responding. The dealer diagnosed the failure and determined that the instrument cluster would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 65,300 and the current mileage was 65,600. Updated 07/12/11.

Purchased a 2003 Envoy in November of 2010 at around 86000 miles in one month the instrument panel went out so no speedometer and affected the oil gauge. At exactly 100,000 miles the driiver door panel went out could smell wires burning. Called dealer where purchased to trade in on vehicle in working order and he was able to find parts from junk yard to repl. Ace. I was also informed the problems I had have become an epidemic for all GMC vehicles and people are spending a small fortutne getting them repaired. Just want to advise anyone reading this to stop buying anything made my GMC because they do not stand behind their faul;ty products nor does the government make them.

The contact owns a 2005 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that all of the gauges on the instrument panel began to display improper readings. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The electrical system was reset. After a few weeks, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The speedometer on my 2004 Envoy xl began acting erratically ( going from 0 to 120 ) a earlier 2011 and continues. The gas gauge does not register properly either. The dealer wanted to change my speedometer first to see if this would fix both problems (over $600. 00 in cost) and if that didn't fix it, then they would have to change a module in the fuel tank (another $600. 00 in cost). My research on the internet indicates this is a faulty part and needs to be recall. I've read different makes of GMC and mileage have complained about this issue.

Problems is associated with the instrument panel gauges. Specifically with the rpm gauge. It reflects erratic rpm's when it first started the needle would raise to between 5-6k rpms when at idle, after approx 2 weeks it would reset itself to normal, approx 2-3 weeks later it would register approx 6-7k rpms then reset itself once again to normal. Now it is pegged all the way around and pointing due south, it attempts to reset itself but will not. I am also seeing erratic indications on the fuel gauge. On the edmunds Envoy forum there are quite a few Envoy owners that are having the same problems, some are having speedometer level problems. Was in connect with GMC representative and she could/would not help since my vehicle was out of warranty. I even suggested that they pay at least 1/2 the cost of repairs. I believe this a component failure and could possibly become a safety issue especially with the speedometer and gas gauge problems. The probability of also having speedometer failure in the near future is pretty good bet.

Tachometer initially failed, now speedometer is also not working. Have heard/seen multiple other people with this complaint on Envoys and trailblazers.

Speedometer stuck at 60mph while traveling. Didn't matter if stopped, accelerating, decelerating, or turning vehicle off. Turning off the car and restarting it seemed to cause the speedometer to decrease, some, finally getting it to register 20mph. Upon restarting the vehicle in the morning the speedometer still registered 20 mph and upon acceleration the speedometer fluctuated finally settling at 80mph. We were unable to tell how fast we really are traveling because the speedometer is wacko. Stopping and turning off the vehicle does not help. The speedometer does not reset to zero it is now stuck at 80mph. Our local gm dealer advised that no recall has been issued but an extended warranty to 75,000 miles was offered on the vehicle for this particular problem. Our vehicle is over the mileage for the warranty. Gm is aware there is a problem with wacko speedometers hence the warranty extension. One would assume being able to monitor ones speed in a vehicle is an important safety concern.

We have had numerous electrical problems with the Envoy, but I am writing about the instrument cluster panel. The failure of the panel caused the speedometer to fail. The speedometer registers over 120 mph regardless of the speed of the vehicle, or whether the vehicle is turned off or on. The mechanic who investigated the issue stated that there were numerous diagnostic errors that had to be corrected before he could successfully diagnose the bad instrument cluster. This is a known issue with the Envoy, GMC will not accept responsibility and the failed instrument panel can result in accidents.

Speedometer and tachometer stopped working properly. These gauges do not reflect the speed of the vehicle properly. I. E. I am traveling 25mph and the gauge reads 100mph.

Erratic speed odometer readings, happens 3-4 times weekly. This happens from your actual speed of 40-60 mph, you look down next second and you are going 100-120 mph per odometer. When you come to a stop it says your still going 90-110 mph, only way to reset your odometer is to pull over and restart your car about 50-60 times until it says 0 mph. Sometimes this wont last but 5 min. . . This also increases your cars mileage. GMC will not repair this with out charging you 600 dollars. This is not safe for anyone on the road and not fair to people owing cars, or buying cars to have not actual mileage on a car nor to be able to drive safely. Updated ivoq 12/03/10.

The contact owns a 2005 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that the speedometer indicated an inaccurate speed. When driving at 20 mph, the speedometer may show a reading of 80 mph. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired. The contact spoke with the manufacturer who offered no assistance. The current mileage was approximately 81,100. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.

The speedometer on my 2004 GMC Envoy xuv intermittently works. Roughly 10% of the time, the gauge will stop working completely. Now, the rpm gauge has also begin acting erratically. I have contacted GMC customer support, and they directed me to the local dealer, who will charge me $79 simply to "diagnose" the problem, followed by a likely $600 repair to replace the entire cluster. A simple online search of "2004 GMC Envoy xuv speedometer problems" returned 10's of thousands of hits, so it appears this is a very widespread problem. After checking into the situation with gm dealers there is a recall on the sierra's and yukons which have the same cluster as my vehicle but gm refuses to stand behind the defect on the Envoys. Parts have not been replaced yet on my vehicle hoping that gm will wake up and realize this is a common problem on the Envoys and that it requires attention. . Read more...

The cluster doesn't work or works when it wants to. I have had this problem for 3 to 4 years the speedometer works when it wants to but for the most part it doesn't. The gas gauge always reads empty and the oil pressure reads above 80. They sent me a letter yesterday to say they are now fixing the fuel gauge if you have less then 120,000 miles but I have more then that now if they would have fixed the problem years ago when they knew about it I would have been ok. They still are not fixing the speedometer and I think that is more of a safety issue then the gas gauge.

The contact owns a 2005 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that the speedometer did not register the correct speed while driving. While driving 30 mph the gauge was registering 100 mph. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 98,795.

My 2004 GMC Envoy speedometer does not work. Gage shows driving 120 mph when driving in the city. Gets stuck on numbers and stays there for days at a time.

2003 GMC Envoy. The speedometer only works intermittently. It may stick in one spot. Other times it is consistently off by a given speed. The next day it may be working fine. This has been going on for over a year and seems to be occurring more frequently as the vehicle ages. The internet is littered with others all having the same issue. . Read more...
