We have classified the 89 complaints from 2004 GMC Envoy about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
My dash panel gauges began failing one by one. my headlights will sometimes not come on after starting the car with the headlight switch on auto. a flick of the headlight switch in and off, does not make the headlights come on. sometimes they come on after driving around, and then will go off without touching the switch. now, my side brakelights will not operate correctly when the brake pedal is pressed. only the third brake light illuminates.
Front passenger seat caught on fire from the seat heater. the vehicle parked and turned off. it was parked in a high school parking lot while my daughter was in school. we contacted gmc, but they said it there was nothing they could do. there was something that went wrong for it to just catch fire. can you help us in anyway at all.

Vehicle was being driven on a two way highway at approximately 55 mph. vehicle lost engine power while driving and the gas pedal lost resistance and went to the floor. vehicle was steered over to the side of the road. while the vehicle was steered over to the side of the road, check engine and other dash lights started flashing chaotically. white smoke started coming from under the hood. within a short time, white smoke turned into black smoke and then flames started to appears. the fire under the hood eventually continued to grow until it completely burned the engine compartment most of the first two rows of the interior before the firemen arrived and were able to put out the fire.

The cruise control is intermittent. *tr
Parked the vehicle in a parking garage so i know the lights were working when we went in. as we were leaving approximately 3 hours later, the low beams would not come on at all. had to run high beams; had several people look at the fuses, replaced bulbs, etc. but they could not find the problem. a couple of weeks later just before i was taking it to a dealer to look at the problem the low beams began working again. approximately two months later the exact same thing happened only this time i heard a faint noise from the engine compartment and smelled a burning (seemed electrical) aroma for a few seconds when i realized the low-beam lights were not working again. after a week or so the lights came back on again. *tr
Stopped at street like, light went green started to move forward and car goes dead. no lights on dash, nothing showing, just stops abruptly. after a few moments tried restarting car and it came back on with check engine light. p0606 pcm failure code displayed. could have been rear ended by semi truck behind me or killed if i was trying to turn left at intersection. *tr
The speedometer and tachometer of the suv began to indicate incorrect readings. the speedometer works fine until we go on the highway and travel with the cruise control set between 65-70. then they will read the incorrect speed for a week or so then start working fine again. the tachometer needle just "hangs." i talked to 2 different repair shops who advised me that this is a common problem with envoy's and trailblazers. the cost to do this is over $500 or more. it appears that several other 2004 gmc envoy owners are experiencing this same problem. a recall should be in order. when i talked to the repair shops they said before they can correct the issue under my extended warranty is to see it happen. each time i had an appt set it would start working before the appt date so there is nothing they can do. very irritated that gmc doesn't address this now. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 gmc envoy. the contact stated that the speedometer failed to function. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was found that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted about the failure. the failure mileage was not available.
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..
