  • 95,000 miles
Own a 2004 GMC Envoy and I have problems with the fuel gauge and the odometer. The fuel gauge goes past the F line when the vehicle is not on fuel. Also the odometer will stop working or get stuck on 10-15 mph. He happens often...every other day. I was told that it would cost 1400 to fix and a possibility it may not fix the problem.

While driving my N2004 GMC Envoy, myn speedomotor quit working and shows speeds over 100mps when driving. When in park, off or idling, the speedo needle is never at zero... it is at 30 or 40 mph during these times. I do no know how fast I am going.

Envoy XL 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
I own a 2004 Envoy XL 2 wd. It has 40,000 miles on the odometer. On three different occasions the speedometer read zero while the car was above 40 mph. The speedometer remained off line until the next time it was stopped with turning off the ignition. Upon start up, the speedometer needle began to recognize the actual speed variations of the drive. Undocumented rates of speed could cause accidents. When will the next time when this recurs on the vehicle" will this and/or could this cause an accident"

  • Automatic transmission

Speedometer was erratic. Sometimes registered higher mph than the vehicle was moving. Turning the vehicle off & restarting will bring it down by 10 mph each time. Very unsafe to be unaware of the speed you are traveling!
