Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CONSOLE LATCH MECHANISM.
I OWN 2 ENVOY'S 1 IS A 03 AND THE OTHER ONE IS A 05 MY 03 OIL PRESSURE AND TACH. GAUGE MESSES UP FROM TIME TO TIME... MY 05 OIL PRESSURE AND SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK. I CALLED GMC AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT YOU... MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON MY 03, I'M GUESSING THAT MEANS IT WON'T WORK IF NEEDED..... *TR
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WHILE BRAKING TO A STOP AND ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. WHILE BRAKING, THE VEHICLE ALSO JERKED FORWARD SLIGHTLY AS IF TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN PARKED AND SHUT OFF.
