NHTSA complaint #11092085 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT CONNECTIONS LOCATED IN THE REAR TAILGATE ARE SEVERELY CORRODED AND WILL NOT LIGHT UP WHEN BRAKING. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT ALLOW PASSING OF STATE INSPECTION. THE ENTIRE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND WIRE HARNESS MUST TO REPLACED TO PASS STATE VEHICLE INSPECTION. THIS CONDITION IS CONTINUOUS, WHEN PARKED, WHEN DRIVING (WE FOLLOWED IT AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF IT JIGGLED ON), I HAVE NOTHING TO UPLOAD BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT LIGHT UP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT NEW. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MOST STARTED OUT OF WARRANTY. ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING, HAD TO REPLACE. RADIO SYSTEM COMES AND GOES, MOST OF THE TIME NOT WORKING. A/C HEATING BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. DIFFERENT COMPONENT LIKE WINDOW, WIPERS, DOOR LOCK JUST OPERATE ON THEY OWN THEN LOCK UP. ISSUES WITH IGNITION. CAN'T REMOVE THE KEY. NOW REAR WINDOW GOES DOWN ON ITS OWN. VEHICLE WON'T START, REAR TAIL GATE WON'T OPERATE. ONLY WAY TO START IS BY JUMPING BUT ONCE TURNED OFF THE BATTERY DRAINS SO CAN'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE YOU'RE U NEVER KNOW IF IT GOING TO START AGAIN.
NHTSA complaint #10678828 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST NOTICED REDUCED RADIO VOLUME AS IF SPEAKERS WERE NOT COMPLETELY CONNECTED. THEY RADIO WOULD WORK CORRECTLY FROM TIME TO TIME. SERVICE DEPT SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE DASH SYSTEM. THEN NOTICED REAR DOOR/TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN AS A DOOR, NEXT THE TAILGATE STOPPED FUNCTIONING ALL TOGETHER; THIS MAKES THE REAR PART OF THE XUV USELESS AND DANGEROUS. DEALER STATED THAT IS ELECTRONIC AND THAT ALL TAILGATE/REAR DOOR HINGES RUSTED DUE TO WATER COMING IN WHERE REAR WINDOW IS/ ESTIMATE IS OVER $650.00 AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN!!! NEXT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK EXCEPT BY MANUAL UNLOCKING FROM INSIDE AND SOMETIME THE KEY WILL NOT UNLOCK TO DRIVER'S DOOR. KEY FOB WILL NOT WORK ON DRIVER'S DOOR, TAILGATE/REAR DOOR; HOWEVER, KEY FOB WORKS ON PASSENGER DOORS. DEALER STATED THAT THE TAILGATE/REAR DOOR ISSUE HAS A HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING SO WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL???? WHEN WILL GMC MAKE THIS RIGHT???

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, WITH IT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT WILL GO OUT OF WACK WHILE DRIVING, AND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR SPEED IS WHEN IT DROPS PAST THE 120 MPH RANGE, THEN WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED, IT MAY READ 60 OR 70 MPH RANGE. PEOPLE ARE MAKING COMPLAINTS ALL OVER ABOUT THIS AS WELL AS THE GAS GAUGE DOING THE SAME THING. GMC DEALER STATES THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THESE PROBLEMS. THESE ARE SAFETY RELATED PROBLEMS, AND NEED TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE (STILL IN FORCE), WITH A $100 DEDUCTIBLE, BUT WHY SHOULD THE WARRANTY COMPANY PAY FOR THIS, IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH GM (MANY MAKES AND MODELS, NOT JUST MINE). I ALSO KNOW FOR FACT, WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND THAT IS THESE GAUGES HAVE "STEPPER MOTORS", THAT CONTROL THE "NEEDLE" THAT SHOWS SPEED, FUEL, RPM, ECT, AND THE STEPPER MOTORS ARE THE DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN THE STEPPER MOTORS ARE REPLACED, THEY HAVE A NEW PART NUMBER, AS THE DEFECTIVE ONES HAVE THE OLD PART NUMBER. ALL GM DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THIS, YET REFUSE TO REPLACE AT THERE COST. IF THE OEM EQUIPMENT WAS FINE, THEN WHY ARE THE REPLACEMENTS DIFFERENT AND WITH A NEW PART NUMBER. MY GMC DEALER SHIP, WON'T EVEN REPLACE THE STEPPER MOTORS, AND WANT TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS AGAIN IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND A MONEY ISSUE, AS I KNOW FIRST HAND AFTER RECEIVING A $165 SPEEDING TICKET, NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I WAS GOING WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND. THE GAS GAUGE MAY READ HALF A TANK, AND THEN YOU STALL OUT ON THE FREEWAY, AND GET REAR ENDED, WHICH AT THOSE SPEEDS, HOPE YOU OR THE PERSON THAT REAR ENDS YOU SURVIVE! NOT TO MENTION AN INSURANCE CLAIM (AUTO AND/OR BI CLAIM), AND/OR A POSSIBLE DEATH. BY THE WAY, I AM AN AUTO INSURANCE ADJUSTER BY TRADE, AND HAVE BEEN FOR 34 YEARS. I SIMPLY WANT A RECALL ON THIS ONGOING PROBLEM, SO FOLKS CAN DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD SAFELY AGAIN, WITH PEACE OF MIND.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND REMOVING THE IGNITION KEY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES WOULD CONTINUE TO ILLUMINATE CAUSING THE BATTERY POWER TO DRAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. UPDATED 9/12/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR WINDOWS AND GATE FAILED. THE IGNITION FAILURE WAS A DAILY PROBLEM. THE IGNITION STAYS ON WHICH RESULTS IN BATTERY FAILURE. THERE IS NO SAFETY RELEASE FOR THE REAR GATE. UPDATED 1/27/2015

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
WE BOUGHT NEW A 2004 GMC XUV. FROM THE BEGINNING WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN PARKED THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON IF YOU DO NOT WIGGLE THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN A FEW DAYS YOU COME BACK THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WE KEEP A BATTERY JUMPER IN THE CAR SINCE NEW SO WE ARE NOT LEFT STRANDED. THE REAR AND MIDDLE WINDOW HAVE FAILED FOUR TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CANNOT OPEN THE BACK GATE OR OPEN THE ROOF WHICH I FEEL IS DANGEROUS. YOU CANNOT GET IN OR OUT FOR THERE IS NO RELEASE. FIXED FOUR TIMES AND THE WINDOW WENT DOWN AGAIN AT 74,000 MILES AND GATE IS LOCK AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER AND PRIVATE MECHANICS BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WE NOW HAVE A SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE. GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON THEN GO OFF ERRATICALLY. AT THE SAME TIME OUR AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS ONLY ON OUR FEET. THE MECHANICS SAY THE ENTIRE CONTROL PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FIVE MONTHS LATER THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS AGAIN. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE OUR LAST GM CAR.

BATTERY DIED, COULD NOT OPEN REAR OF VEHICLE, TO RETRIEVE PET DOG INSIDE. THEIR SHOULD BE AN EMERGENCY RELEASE.
NHTSA complaint #10583681 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES ARE ERRATIC. SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SOMETIMES READS UP TO 30 MPH ABOVE OR BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. CONCURRENTLY THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS READING AT ITS MAX AND WILL NOT RETURN TO 0 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE CARS WITH THESE PANELS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
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!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR OVERHEATED ON A NORMAL DAY, ABOUT 80 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I CHECKED AND REPLACED A DEFECTIVE THERMOSTAT, AND STARTED THE ENGINE ONLY TO FIND IT MISFIRING BADLY FOR THE FIRST TIME. I GAINED ADVISE FROM A LOCAL AUTO STORE AND CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OLD ONES, I FOUND THREE OF THE SIX COVERED IN OIL. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD AND REPLACE THE TUBE SEALS BUT THE PLASTIC MANIFOLD COVER WOULD NOT COME OFF AS INDICATED IN A GM MECHANICS MANUAL. THIS IS THE LAST OF SEVERAL PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THE 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV 2WD INLINE 6. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE OILY SPARK PLUG ISSUE AND CRACKED MANIFOLD BUT NO TSBS. LAST YEAR, I HAD MY A/C COMPRESSOR GO OUT AND REPLACED, MY GAS TANK LEAK AND REPLACED UNDER A 'SPECIAL WARRANTY', A DIAGNOSIS THAT MY HEATER CORE IS BAD, ALL THREE MOTOR MOUNTS GO OUT AND REPLACED, AND A NUMBER OF VARIOUS SMALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS GO OUT. I NEED GMC TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES OUTSTANDING WITH MY VEHICLE AND EXPECT APPROPRIATE ACTION FROM THEM. I SPENT WELL OVER $40000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND ITS NOT EVEN 10 YEARS OLD YET. GM HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN FOR LONG LIFE OF THEIR ENGINES AND BODY FRAMES, AND HAVE SAID SO ON THEIR BEHALF. THEY NEED TO LIVE UP TO THE REPUTATION I HAVE SO LOYALLY PAINTED FOR THEM.

ON JUNE 8 2013 BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT POWER ADJUSTMENTS CEASED TO OPERATE OR RESPOND IN ANY WAY. BOTH SEAT STUCK IN A FULL BACK POSITION.

A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE TO INCLUDE SPARKS AND A LOT OF SMOKE THEN ERUPTED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DRIVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND THE PASSENGER AND 18 MONTH OLD CHILD, AND DRIVER ALL EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DIED, AND THE SMOKE CLEARED. WAITED 15 MINUTES, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF THE NEXT DAY, JUNE 10 2013, A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER DIAGNOSES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING SINCE 2010. CHANGED OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, BUT OIL GAUGE STILL NOT READING. SPEEDOMETER GAUGE STARTED GIVING FALSE READINGS SINCE EARLY 2011. FAILS TO READ CORRECTLY SINCE, READING UP TO 200MPH @ REAL SPEEDS UP TO 40MPH. ABOUT A YEAR LATER RPM GAUGE FAILED AND STOPPED WORKING SINCE EARLY 2012. WE NEVER KNOW WHAT SPEED WE ARE GOING WITH A LOT OF RISKS INVOLVED, INCLUDING SPEEDING TICKETS OR ELSE. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM, WITH COSTLY REPAIRS AND SOMETIME NO FIX. HOPING FOR GMC TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN OR ELECTRICAL GHOST OF SOME SORTS. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER 4 TIME WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THAT WAS THE DEALERS CURE. THEN WHEN I PURCHASED IT I REPLACED THE BATTERY.THEN IT WAS REPLACED FOR THE 6TH TIME 18 MONTHS LATER. THE REAR WINDOW ON THE TAIL GATE KEPT GOING DOWN ON IT'S OWN UNTIL THE MOTOR FLEW APART. THE WINDOW BEHIND THE REAR SEAT WENT DOWN ON IT'S OWN AND DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE RETRACTABLE BACK ROOF WILL NOT ENGAGE DUE TO THE REAR WINDOW. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE AC WILL COME ON BY ITSELF ALSO THE RADIO, THE SEAT HEATERS. NOW WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT ON THEIR OWN, LUCKILY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS STILL WORK, BUT THAT'S NOT HELPING THE POOR SOUL IN FRONT OF ME. GM SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY OF THIS BUT I'M ALMOST TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OR LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR ANYTIME FOR THAT MATTER. NOT TO MENTION ANY KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I MAY OF OVERLOOKED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ONE INCIDENT WHERE THE DOOR MALFUNCTIONED IN A POSITION WHERE THE DOOR CAME COMPLETELY OFF THREE OF THE LATCHES AND THE DOOR WAS ONLY BEING HELD ON BY THE NON-ELECTRONIC LATCH, THE DOOR FELL INTO MY ARMS AND I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR UP AND MANUALLY PLACE IT INTO POSITION SO I COULD GET IT TO CLOSE. HAD I NOT CAUGHT THE DOOR, IT WOULD HAVE FALLEN TO THE GROUND. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. IT COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE THAT THE DOOR FELL OUT ONTO ME, CAUSING INJURY. ON OCTOBER 1ST, 2011 THE DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, AS THE VEHICLE PULLED AWAY AT A GREEN LIGHT THE DOOR FLUNG OPEN IN A TAILGATE FASHION(TRUCKBED STYLE) AND SLAMMED AGAINST THE STOPS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO SHATTER ON THE ROAD. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, WE WERE LOADING GROCERIES INTO THE BACK WITH THE DOOR OPENED IN THE SWING DOOR FASHION( TO THE SIDE) WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR, IT JUST BOUNCED BACK AND DID NOT SECURE. WE KEPT TRYING TO SECURE THE DOOR AND FINALLY THE DOOR SECURED, BUT IT WOULD ONLY SECURE WITH ONE ELECTRONIC LATCH AND THE MANUAL LATCH, THE TOP LEFT LATCH WOULD NOT CLOSE. IT SHOWED AJAR ON THE DASH. AS STATED ABOVE WHEN WE PULLED AWAY AT A GREEN LIGHT, THE DOOR FLUNG OPEN LIKE A TRUCK BED STYLE WITH THE WINDOW UP. THE DOOR IS NOT DESIGNED TO OPEN TRUCKBED STYLE WITH THE WINDOW UP, THE WINDOW NEEDS TO BE IN THE OPEN POSITION BEFORE IT WILL OPEN TRUCK BED STYLE. EVEN IF YOU WERE TO ACTIVATE THE TRUCKBED LATCH OPENER, THE DOOR WOULD SENSE THAT THE WINDOW WAS UP AND DEFAULT TO THE SIDE SWING METHOD. THE TAILGATE DOOR IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE DOOR WHICH ALLOWS WATER AND DIRT/SAND TO INFILTRATE THE LATCHES AND CAUSE UN-WANTED OPERATIONS WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.

2004 ENVOY XUV, IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED, HAD *NO* RESPONSE TO ACCELERATOR AS I MADE A LEFT TURN AT A LIGHT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH. WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED, AND IT RAN OKAY BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT REAPPEARED. DROVE ANOTHER 35 MILES WITH LIGHT ON. THE NEXT MORNING IT HAD RE-SET AND THE LIGHT IS GONE FROM THE DASH. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GM EXPECT US TO BE ABLE TO REPLICATE SUCH INCIDENTS FOR A TECH TO FIX? SUCH FAILURES WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEED READINGS. I TRY TO SEE HOW FAST IT IS GOING AT A DEAD STOP AND THEN ADD THAT NUMBER TO FIGURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. BUT NOW WHEN I DRIVE FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE PEGGED AT OVER 120 MPH. SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS WERE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND TIME AND MONEY TO TRY A SOLUTION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER. IF I GET THE SAME CLUSTER TYPE BACK I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. WHAT ADVICE DID YOU GIVE THE OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS?
