“My 2004 Envoy Xuv speedodometer stuck at 55mph. I spoke to dealer technician and was told I had to replace the instrument cluster because of a small thing called a stepper motor. This seems to be an on going problem with GM vehicles. I strongly suggest a safety recall because this is failing on thousands of vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #10372267, filed 2010-12, 88,000 miles“Car lurched forward and engine speeded up when pulling into my driveway at home. Most of my dashboard gauges have been failing over the last year including the speedometer. I was using the cruise control prior to the event. I think it may be related to the computer. I was able to stop the car by turning off the engine. The brakes would not stop the car. The dealer has advise me that they know about the instrument panel failing but no recall has been issued.”
NHTSA complaint #10311328, filed 2010-02, 24,900 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10343704, filed 2010-07, 90,000 miles“While going approximately 60 MPH the low beam headlights just go out with only the parking lights and fog lights working. Also most of the gauges on the instrument panel do not work including the gas gauge. After some internet research many others are having these same issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10717877, filed 2015-05, 130,000 miles“2004 Gmc envoy. Sudden momentary engine surge. Occurred at low speed with foot on brake pedal. Six occurrences , four within last few months. Gm dealer checked said all systems were ok, GM corporate notified said no history this type of failure. When surge happened quick shift into neutral prevented damage. Engine surge lasted only a few seconds and then returned to normal. Since problem is intermittent GM offers no help other than bring it back to dealer for recheck.”
