| I have gmc envoy 2005. the speedometer is not working. basically sometimes it gets stuck past 120, sometimes at 0 or in between. i could be driving 30 mph and the speedometer will be showing 110 mph. this is a known defect on gmc 2005 envoy, but the company is only taking a responsibility on models 2002-2004. i have called around dealer shop and they said gmc is only willing to fix if the car is between 2002 and 2005, eventhough this is a known problem. almost about everyone i talked to, who owns gmc envoy 2005 indicated to have this problem. i really think gmc should own to its defect and take care of this issue. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2005 gmc envoy. he stated that the headlights, dashboard lights and rear lights shut off while driving approximately 35 mph or various speeds. the high beams immediately activate when the headlights shut off which distracts drivers. the failure mileage was 28000 and the current mileage was 58000. | |||

| I own a 2005 gmc envoy and the speedometer stopped working about 3 weeks ago. i took it to the dealership for repair and was advised that they did not know what the issue was but since they had removed the battery and re-connected it that the speedometer should work correctly. i worked correctly for 2 days. *tr | |||

| 2005 gmc speedometer failure. stops working and gets stuck on the 120miles point even when the car is off and not just driving. occurs after about a few minutes of driving and, after online and offline research, it turns out a lot of people have these problem with some gmc trucks, especially the gmc envoys models. and gm is not doing anything or refusing to fix it since it is a manufacturers default. there hasn't been any recalls to address this issue and there are even lawsuits in some states about this. my truck is not even old only 52,000 miles and i don't drive a lot just to work and home. *tr | |||

| The speedometer on my 2005 gmc envoy xl started acting erratically and at any time can show that i'm doing 70 when i am stopped, be pegged, or sometimes it works. i have to use my gps to determine my speed. i took it to a gm dealer to see if there was a recall regarding this issue because i had heard that there was for vehicles up to 7 years old or up to 70,000 miles. the dealer told me there were no recalls for the vehicle and that it would cost $400 to replace the entire gauge cluster. *tr | |||

| Problem just started with no warning. speedometer reads 60 mph while vehicle is parked with engine off. when you crank the vehicle. speedometer indicator drops down approx. 5 mph (55 mph) then when you drive the vehicle the speedometer indicator (needle) goes past the 120 reading on the speedometer. i feel this is very dangerous because you cannot determine the true speed vehicle is really going . vehicle odometer and trip odometer are not affected (checked by mile marker on interstate). failure is consistence . occurs everytime vehicle is operated. notified dealership and they said (no recall) . vehicle has approx 52,000 miles. *tr | |||

| The gmc envoy's speedometer stopped working and gmc is aware of this issue and only solution they have is 450 + labor which doesn't guarantee the issue is resolved...i have researched numerous articles as well as websites where other gm victims have reported their vehicles to do the same thing....the speedometer is something very important which shouldn't be a common problem, serious if not life taking accidents happen when drivers aren't able to be aware of their speed. i would hope that this complaint will follow with others and there will be some type recall that takes place. *tr | |||

| Speedometer malfunctions showing various speeds. the needle gets stuck for a moment while the car speeds up. the needle will also stay at one speed while the car slows down, thus giving no true reading of speed at any given moment. *tr | |||
