2004 GMC Envoy Xuv Electrical Problems

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.

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. *TR

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??? *TR

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. *TR

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.

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. *TR

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.

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. *TR

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. *TR

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? *KB

I HAVE A 2004 TRAILBLAZER THAT THE DASH COMPONENTS (SPEED, GAS, ECT....) HASN'T WORKED SINCE 2008. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. I ALSO HAVE LATCH PROBLEMS. I HAD A REAR DOOR STOP LATCHING...I USED A BUNJY CORD TO HOLD IT SHUT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO A JUNK YARD FOR A 35 DOLLAR NEW LATCH. I AM A SINGLE MOM TRYING TO MAKE MY TRUCK LAST. IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE HAD A FUEL PUMP GO, MY LATCH, MY TAILGATE WON'T OPEN AND MY SUNROOF DOESN'T OPEN ANY MORE AND MY TRUCK IS RUSTING HORRIBLY? I ALSO HAD A COOLING ISSUE WITH EMISSIONS. IT WASN'T READING THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE CORRECTLY. I HAVE SPENT NEAR TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR ODD THINGS. P.S. I PUT THE DOOR LATCH IN MY SELF TO SAVE MONEY. I HAVE TWO KIDS TO PROTECT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 ENVOY XUV. SINCE LAST YEAR WINTER, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AND RUN ERRATICALLY, WHICH I THOUGHT AT THE TIME WAS DUE TO THE COLD. OCCASIONALLY TOO, WE'D COME TO THE GARAGE TO FIND THE REAR WINDOW OPEN AND THE TAILGATE UNABLE TO OPEN. DURING THOSE TIMES, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE WINDOW BACK UP WITH THE BUTTON INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS UNLOCK THE TAILGATE BY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE. ALSO, THE TRUCK WOULD STALL DURING DRIVING, FOR NO REASON BUT WOULD START AGAIN (BIG SAFETY ISSUE!!! I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE WELL). SINCE THEN, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS ALSO CONTINUOUSLY GONE HAYWIRE, WITH THE SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATICALLY AS WELL AS THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THE MID WINDOW NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND MY TAILGATE WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. I HAVE HAD IT SWING OPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC (ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN!!!!! WHAT IF I HAVE SOMETHING BACK THERE AND IT FALLS OUT) THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS REGARDING ANY OF THESE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES THESE ARE PROBLEMS MOST GMC ENVOY XUV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, WITHOUT RECOURSE OF HAVING IT FIXED BY GM AT NO CHARGE. NOW, WE KNOW WHY THEY HAVE LOST THE MARKET SHARE TO JAPAN VEHICLES, BECAUSE OUR NEXT VEHICLE WILL NEVER BE A GM, UNLESS ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE RECALLED AND FIXED. WE'LL ALSO ENSURE TO MOUNT A LACK-OF-CONFIDENCE CAMPAIGN AGAINST GM VEHICLES WITH EVERYONE WE KNOW, IF NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT ASAP BY GM. *TR

I HAD A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND HAD SEVERAL THINGS GOING WRONG. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS RADICAL, SOME DAYS IT WOULD WORK AND OTHER DAYS NOT. THE BACK WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DOWN FOR NO REASON AT ALL WHEN I WAS NOT EVEN IN OR NEAR THE CAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF. LIKE A FOOL I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV, ONLY OWNED IT 2 DAYS AND SMELLED GAS. LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE ENTIRE REAR OF THE UNDERSIDE OF IT WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. THERE WAS A SMALL PUDDLE ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOOK OUT THE GAS TANK AND THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FILLER NECK. STILL WAITING TO GET THE CAR BACK, CAN'T FIND PARTS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST ENVOY. *TR

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. *TR
