2005 Gmc Envoy problems
The GMC Envoy is a mid-size SUV manufactured and marketed by General Motors for the 1998 to 2009 model years over two generations. Adopting a nameplate used by GM Canada, the Envoy was a rebadged variant of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, Oldsmobile Bravada, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7X.
General Motors assembled the model line at its Moraine Assembly (Moraine, Ohio) and Oklahoma City Assembly (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). Both facilities were closed by 2008, leading to the discontinuation of the model line. The Envoy was not directly replaced in the GMC model line as General Motors transitioned its smaller SUVs to unibody-chassis designs, introducing the smaller GMC Terrain and larger GMC Acadia.
First generation (1998–2000)
The first generation GMC Envoy was introduced for the 1998 model year. Introduced a year before the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, the Envoy was the highest-trim version of the GMC Jimmy SUV. In line with the Oldsmobile Bravada, the Envoy was fitted with a leather-trim interior, floor-mounted shifter, and a largely monochromatic exterior with aluminum-alloy wheels. In line with the TrailBlazer and the Bravada, the Envoy trim was offered only in the five-door version.
The Envoy had many extra features not available on the regular Jimmy 4-door including: a remote trunk release, heated driver's and passenger's seats, a Bose sound system, and High Intensity Discharge headlights. Optional features included: a power sunroof, a panic alarm, an anti-theft system, and a power front driver & passenger seat.
GMC ended sales of the first generation Envoy after the 2000 model year as the division adopted the name to replace the entire Jimmy SUV line for 2002.

- Exhaust Leak: A number of 2005 GMC Envoy owners have reported hearing loud exhaust leak sounds. These noises are often caused by a cracked exhaust manifold, which can lead to a significant decrease in performance and fuel efficiency. Replacing the exhaust manifold can cost around $500, and this issue typically occurs around 80,000 miles.
- Ignition Switch Not Working: Some 2005 GMC Envoy owners have experienced issues with the ignition switch, which may not turn on the vehicle or may do so intermittently. This problem can be caused by a variety of factors, including worn-out switches or electrical issues. Replacing the ignition switch can cost at least $250, and this issue typically arises within 70,000 miles.
- Loss of Engine Power: A common problem in the 2004-2005 GMC Envoy is a loss of engine power, which can be caused by various issues, such as a bad catalytic converter, bad gas, a bad throttle body, or a damaged accelerator pedal module. This issue can be particularly challenging to diagnose, as it can present with different symptoms. Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) have been released to address this problem, but most are not available on car complaint websites.
- Faulty Cluster Gauges: Some 2005 GMC Envoy owners have reported issues with their cluster gauges, which may display incorrect information or stop working entirely. This issue can be caused by a variety of factors, including electrical problems or faulty sensors. Repairing or replacing the cluster gauges can be a complex and costly process, often requiring professional assistance.
- Excessive Oil Consumption: A number of 2005 GMC Envoy owners have reported excessive oil consumption, which can lead to decreased performance and increased maintenance costs. This issue can be caused by various factors, including worn-out engine components or oil leaks. Addressing excessive oil consumption often requires professional diagnosis and repair, which can be time-consuming and expensive.
In summary, the 2005 GMC Envoy has several common problems, including exhaust leaks, ignition switch issues, loss of engine power, faulty cluster gauges, and excessive oil consumption.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-12-07
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 1gket16s956
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: I purchased my envoy from a used car lot with no warning lights and no apparent safety concerns about 2 yrs ago other then what appeared to be a replaced front bumper cover and the vehicle was repainted the same color white, since then the brakes have intermittently not disengaged on one side or the other I believe it's the front brakes and seems to be worse after a longer drives and after bleeding the system the pedal would be firm and next day spongy feeling and going down rather far. Air bags did not deploy apon impact. It is available for inspiration although I am attempting to repair it after my accident the brakes are still as they were. I have tried both on as well as performance pads and rotors booster check valve and fluid replacement with no change. I was coming back from my daughter's dentist appointment it is 20 minutes away the roads were very slick with snow and sleet, I got off the hwy and coming through town I braked to slow from 45 to 35mph before crossing the intersection when I let off the brake the left side stayed engaged enough to cause the vehicle to pull to the left and I couldn't steer straight because of the snow and was forced to hit 2 traffic light posts in the center median. Usually on dry roads I can tap the pedal and keep it straight until the brakes released. I first noticed it changing pads when I 1st purchased it that the front tires spin harder while jaked up and when it continued I figured it was alignment or steering components worn but even after parts replaced a 2 alignments nothing changed, after my last alignment the technician said the brakes need to be bled and I told him the issue he was unsure the cause. I did not have any air bags deploy in this accident and the sensors were clearly effected as the bumper caved in the center. The vehicle also has had uneven ride height due to independent sensors in the rear. The vehicle now has a service airbag and service brakes light. Other owners have similar issues with their envoys

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-07-19
- VIN: 1GKDT13S352
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: WHILE DRIVING IN A 40 MPH ZONE I GLANCED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT READ 70 MPH! I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN BEFORE I REALIZED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATION WAS INACCURATE. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE RESUMING NORMAL OPERATION. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTICED THE GAUGE "STICKING" WHEN LETTING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CREATING AN UN-SAFE CONDITION FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE SPEED INDICATION IS TRULY ACCURATE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER GM MODELS MADE DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.
