I had the fule guauge issue (which I overcame by using the trip meter until now), the gas gauge, and just a few weeks ago the speed counter, so after reading the board, I've ordered the parts and a soldering station and will do the job myself for about $200, but come out of it with a fixed panel and a really nice soldering station.
The O2 sensor was replaced at 68K ($600), the front diff ($4000 at 80K), a front wheel bearing (400 - had to get an entire unit, the can't be changed for the normal $20 that you would on any other car) numerous front light bulbs, I think the shocks are getting to the point of needing changed. This car was bought new, and has been nothing but a money pit, but with the poor resale value, they are basicically worthy nothing second hand, I look forward to keeping it going myself until the engine gives up the ghost, which hopefully should be a while - and that will only be because I don't feel the need to lug a second hand engine out of a junkyard, not worth the effort.
If anyone one wants to start thinking about a group petition / complaint to GM, I'm in. Maybe we can get these buggers to finx some of this stuff - I'd never by another GM vehile, ever, by the way.
Thanks

Now That I think is definately a safety hazard trying to watch the road and wondering how fast you are going.
About 3 months ago my speedo started acting up. Pegged at 120 or -10. That is also intermittent and seems to be effected by the cold weather. Codes showing bad instrument cluster. Ok, I can deal with that. Not fixing that now ... other issues to take care of ...
For the last two weeks my Envoy has not started maybe 6 times. Ironically the first two times I was parked in the same exact place. The first time we jumped it - the second we did not. Full battery power - lights, stereo, blah blah blah. I came in and called a local mechanic and he asked me to go sit in the car. He told me to turn the key on but not try to start, let it sit there for a few minutes and then try to start it. It worked! So he asks me if I am sitting on an incline. He suggested Neutral Safety Switch - but cannot do it at his shop. Minimal - but a bit. EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE HAD TROUBLE I have been parked on a slight incline or at an angle to the side.
My Envoy has been at the shop 1 week today. They are guessing the problems and I'm getting ticked. I have explained to EVERY shop I have called the initial diagnosis of neutral safety. You would not believe the stupid crap people are coming up with that could be wrong - makes absolutely no sense. One GM mechanic suggested i was leaving dome lights on too long and therefore running the battery down.
Any help is appreciate.

Anyone having Cruise Control issues also??
I am from GMC Customer Assistance. I see that you have spoken with us before about your instrument cluster concerns. Because the issue is currently unresolved, I would like to look at your situation further. What is your GM case number? Thank you,
Mariah GMC Customer Assistance
Because the issue still is present in the vehicle. I feel that we should re-open the case file and have this looked at again. What I will do is send your agent an email explaining that we are going to re-open the case because the vehicle still has the same concern present. The agent should get back with you in about 48 hours. If you have any further questions please direct message me. Thank you,
Mariah GM Customer Service
Sorry we mixed up there. I would be happy to assist you with your vehicle. You stated that the vehicle is currently at the dealership. Have they diagnosed the issue? Do you currently have a case with GM? If so, can you please direct message me the case number? Can you also provide me with your VIN number? Thank you,
Mariah GM Customer Service
I am from GM Customer Service. Can you please email me at socialmedia@gm.com to give me more information about what the concern is with the vehicle? Thank you,

Did U ever figure out what was causing all those proplems with your intrument cluster...ie...irroneous warnings and chimes...abs...brake...etc..
My mom has a 2004 with only 16k miles...it is doing the same thing. In addition,...I get "..then ...as well as the chimes . It is madening. Well behave for a few miles..then starts the whole show all over.
Do you or anyone here know if this Intrument Cluster Bulliten or any other GMC bulliten applies to my problem? Clearly there is somehing going on with these GM's.
What is the fix here?
Thanks
John
Mine is still doing it.

I am from GM Customer Service. I apologize that you are experiencing problems with your vehicle. Is the warranty a certified used car warranty or a dealership warranty? Can you please email me more information so I can look into this further? You can access my email by clicking on my name. Thank you,
Mariah GM Customer Service
When I purchased the vehicle in February of this year, it came with a 30 day warranty from the dealership. What other information would you like?
Did you buy the vehicle used, or certified used? Have you had any of the concerns diagnosed or fixed? Can you please email me so I can get some personal information from you? You can find my email by clicking on my name. Thank you,

But, the list doesn't end there. Recently, my rear speakers quit working, the clutch fan is acting up, my awd switch goes haywire now and then, and now I'm smelling gas again. I have an appointment with the dealer on Tuesday to see if the fuel pump is bad again, and if it is, I'm going to sell this thing asap. It's turned out to be nothing more than a money pit and GM won't fess up to the fact that they built a subpar vehicle while charging a premium price for it.
Prior to the Envoy, I owned a Dodge pickup truck and ran it hard. I put over 90,000 miles on it and never put money into it for the above mentioned parts, except for normal maintance.
