| 2005 gmc envoy instrument cluster panel failure... the speedometer and gas gauge quit working. | |||

| Out of nowhere my front head lights went out. its not the fuse or the bulbs, both front low lights went out. the high beams work. there is no power going to the lights and i have to buy a new switch. the gas gauge is broken. the abs/brake light is on. i feel so stuck with this car! | |||

| One day my oil gauge stopped working. a few months later the speedometer stopped working and eventually every gauge in my panel stopped working. this all started around nov of 2008. i could not figure out what was going on. i checked all fuses, bulbs and wiring. now two days ago my head lights stoped working on low beam. nothing was found to be the problem. i recently found hundreds of envoy owners with the exact same issues and now know it is the instrument cluster panel. est cost for the part only $570 | |||

| When rear entertainment dvd is used, there is no rear visibility. the screen blocks the rear completely and you are only able to use the side mirrors. this i feel is a major design flaw, as my other vehicle by a different manufacturer does not have the same problem. *nm | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2005 gmc envoy. the contact stated that the engine made a loud knocking noise when driving. while driving uphill, the vehicle dramatically decelerates as if the engine was stalling. the engine and oil lights illuminated on the instrument control panel. she took the vehicle to the dealer for an oil change, but the oil light remained illuminated. she took the vehicle to a local dealer four times and they reprogrammed the p.c. another dealer stated that the engine drags when traveling uphill, which was probably due to the clutch fans. the contact also stated that the air conditioning system does not work. after all four repairs were performed, her vehicle continues to experience the same failures. she contacted the manufacturer and they stated that they would not provide any financial assistance because the extended warranty expired. the speed was unknown. the failure mileage was 3,809 and current mileage was 82,000. | |||
