WHEN A CAR SEAT IS PUT IN THE BACK CENTER SEAT AS RECOMMENDED IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LATCH THE SHOULDER BELT IN THE RIGHT BACK SEAT (FACING FORWARD) TO THE BELT ANCHOR. THE PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT BACK SEAT MUST EITHER NOT HAVE THE SEAT BELT ATTACHED OR USE A 6 INCH BELT EXTENSION THAT IS UNSAFE FOR NON OVERWAIT TODDLERS. GMC TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. ALL I WANT IS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A PASSENGER RIDE SAFELY IN THE BACK RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT WHILE MY DAUGHTER IS IN A CAR SEAT IN THE BACK CENTER SEAT.*AK

MY AIR CONDITIONER WORKED FINE FOR ONE WEEK AND AFTER THAT IT TAKES TIMES WHEN IT WILL CUT OFF AND ONLY BLOWS OUT HOT AIR. SOMETIMES YOU CAN DRIVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND IT WILL CUT OFF AND OTHER TIMES IT TAKES LONGER. THE FAN STILL BLOWS, BUT AS I SAY IT ONLY THROWS OUT HOT AIR. YOU CAN STOP AND CUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIME IT WILL MAKE IT RUN RIGHT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE CHEVROLET COMPANY TO BE WORKED ON TWICE AND THEY FINALLY TOLD ME THE SECOND TIME AFTER KEEPING IT FOR A WEEK AND A HALF THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE WAITING FOR GM TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SEND THEM A COMPUTER CHIP TO PLACE IN MY COMPUTER THAT WOULD MAKE IT WORK, I THINK THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY BECAUSE I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY NEW NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH CORY JACKSON AT GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE ME THIS ADDRESS TO SEND IN A COMPLAINT. COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IF SO WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO HAVE IT CORRECTED.*AK

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK (NOT THE FILLER HOSE) AND ONTO THE GROUND. RATHER THAN RETURN UP THE HOSE AND INDICATE TO THE PUMP THAT THE TANK IS FULL, THE GASOLINE GOES EVERYWHERE. IF YOU JUST ADD GAS BUT DO NOT FILL THE TANK, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN.*AK

*APRIL 3, 2002  I TOOK A CO-WORKER TO LUNCH THAT AFTERNOON WHEN UPON RETURNING TO OUR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON ROUTE 17 IN ALLENDALE, WHICH IS A DIVIDED HIGHWAY. ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS LOST, INCLUDING CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO COAX THE VEHICLE INTO THE COMPANY PARKING LOT BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. *MAY 6, 2002  I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THAT EVENING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON BOOTON RD IN LINCOLN PARK, WITH IS A FOUR-LANE ROAD. ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS LOST, INCLUDING CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO COAX THE VEHICLE ONTO A SIDE RESIDENCE STREET BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. *MAY 9, 2002  I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THAT EVENING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS ABOUT TO TURN ONTO BOOTON RD IN WAYNE AND WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. PRIOR TO THE LIGHT CHANGE, THE ENGINE STALLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT I WAS BLOCKING AN INTERSECTION THAT WAS AN OUTLET FOR ROUTE 23, A DIVIDED HIGHWAY. AFTER 20 MINUTES, THE POLICE CAME AND BLOCKED OFF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. *MAY 11, 2002  I WAS ON MY WAY TO A CAR WASH IN WAYNE AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE THAT MORNING. I HAD TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY SIXTY MILES FROM THE TIME THAT I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. I WAS NEXT IN LINE TO RECEIVE A

WHEN THE CAR HAD 4500 MILES, THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH -- THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OR OTHER PROBLEMS BEFOREHAND. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY - NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY -- THEN, AFTER 45 MINUTES IT STARTED BUT THE ENGINE WAS VERY NOISY AND POWER TO ACCELERATE WAS VERY POOR. THE DEALER FIXED THE NOISY ENGINE BY RECALIBRATING THE PCM BUT THEY SAID NO FAULT CODES WERE REGISTERED IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER SO THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR STALLED. I ADVISED THEM ABOUT NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN # 02V121000 FUEL:FUEL FILTER LINE WHERE THE SYMPTOMS WERE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO GM RECALL AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL FILTER FITTING. THE STALL OCCURED ON 5/14/02 AND I HAVE DRIVEN 600 MILES SINCE THEN WITHOUT INCIDENT. I CALLED THE GMC # LISTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE ON 5/24/02 AND THEY SAID NO RECALLS APPLIED TO MY CAR (WHICH WAS MFG'D IN 9/01) AND THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN # 02V121000. I'M CONCERNED THAT WHATEVER CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING WILL REOCCUR AND IT IS DANGEROUS TRYING TO PULL OVER ACROSS TRAFFIC LANES TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ENGINE POWER OR POWER STEERING.*AK

THE ELECTRICAL COMPUTER MEMORY FOR THE EXTERIOR MIRRORS AND THE SEAT ADJUSTER FAILED. THIS CAUSED THE SEATS FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE NOT TO BE ADJUSTED. ALSO THE MIRRORS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE ADJUSTED. DRIVER HAS TO CONTINOUSLY ADJUST THE MIIRRORS IN ORDER TO SEE. DEALER RESET MEMORY SEATS, REPROGRAMMED MIRROR MEMORY, AND REPLACED LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SEAT MODULES. DID NOT REMEDY PROBLEM. CUSTOMER STATES THAT THERE IS A FUEL LEAK LOSS OF 1/2 TANK IN 3 MILES.

AUTOMATICADJUSTING MIRRORS WANDER TO UNPROGRAMMED POSITIONS AT RANDOM. *AK

MIRRORS PROBLEM - THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS EMIT A DISTURBING WHISTLING NOISE WHEN EXCEEDING 45 MPH. IT APPEARS THAT THE SEEMS OF THE OUTSIDE CASING ARE CAUSING THE NOISE. DEALER SAYS GM HAS NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM. STEERING PROBLEM - A GRUNT/CRUNCH NOISE EMITS FROM THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEELWELL WHEN TAKING SHARP LEFT TURNS. NO PROBLEMS WITH RIGHT TURNS. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.

WE PURCHASED NEW VEHICLE OCTOBER 2001 AND WITHIN 4 MONTHS BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS BEGINNING WITH A NOISE WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL. DEALER TECHNICIAN REPLACED DEFECTIVE AIRBAG MODULE. THE NEXT MONTH, MY NEW ENVOY HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OF 1) WIND AND/OR WHISTLING NOISE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45MPH, 2) "VIBRATION" NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN VEHICLE REACHES 3RD GEAR , 3) WHEN VEHICLE HAS REACHED 3RD GEAR AND PREVIOUS NOISE BEGINS, THERE IS ALSO A VIBRATION FELT IN THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. ON THE FIRST TRIP TO DEALER FOR THESE PROBLEMS, TECHNICIAN ONLY AGREED WITH THE WIND NOISE. DISCOVERED THE FRONT SIDE MIRRORS WERE THE CAUSE. REPLACED BOTH MIRRORS---PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, HOWEVER, HE CAN'T HEAR THEM. EXPLAINED IT WAS THE NATURE OF THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO REPAIRED THE WEATHERSTRIPPING WHICH HAD "FALLEN OFF" THE RIGHT REAR DOOR. HE ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT HEAR ANY NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION AREA OR IN THE GAS PEDAL. WE TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO HAD A TECHNICIAN TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THAT THERE WAS BOTH A NOISE IN THE AREA OF TRANSMISSION AND A VIBRATION IN THE GAS PEDAL. RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO ORIGINALLY WAS DOING REPAIR WORK AND HAD HIM RIDE WITH ME. AT THIS TIME, HE HEARD THE NOISE I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT AND ADVISED THAT IT WAS COMING FROM THE HEAT SHIELD AT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIRS, PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND LATER THE SAME DAY, THE NOISE RETURNED. TOOK VEHICLE BACK, TECHNICIAN SAID HE DIDN'T HEAR

TURN SWITCH PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BECUASE HAZARDS CAME ON WHEN PUTTING ON TURN SIGNAL. NOW WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE STUCK ON AND HAD TO PULL FUSE TO STOP, WILL BE RETURNING TO DEALER, AGAIN

BOTHE SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT RETURN TO THEIR SET POSITION WHEN IGNITION TURNED ON, RETURNED TO DEALER TO CORRECT PROBLEM 3 TIMES. DEALER REPORTS THERE IS NO PROBLEM, PROBLEM STILL NOT CORRECTED. *AK

GAS GAUGE WAS 1/4 TANK OFF, RETURNED TO DEALER TO FIX PROBLEM AFTER RUNNING OUT OF GAS. DEALER REPLACED FLOAT/SENDER. RETURNED TO DEALER ONE HOUR LATER AFTER ATTEMPTING TO FILL TANK WITH FUEL AND FUEL POURED OUT OF TOP OF TANK. DEALER THEN CLAIMED THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND DISTORTED BY THE FACTORY, ORDERED NEW TANK, REPLACED SAME. ALL IS WORKING NOW.*AKI

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS VEHICLE WILL STALL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT CAUSES IGNITION SWITCH TO BURN OUT. CONSUMER STATED AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED.AK TT

VEHICLE LOST POWER WITH OWNER 1 TRAVELING DOWN A HILL AT 35MPH, THEN STALLED AGAIN WITH OWNER 2 TRAVELING AT 60MPH. BROUGHT TO DEALER, SAID COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. ALSO SAID UNAWARE OF ANY BULLETINS AND THAT THEY CALLED TECHNICIAN ASSIST AND NO ONE KNEW OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *AK

UPON BEING INSPECTED AT THE NEAREST LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THE #6 PISTON WAS FOUND TO HAVE "SPLINTERED" A HALF MOON PIECE OFF THE TOP OF THE PISTON HEAD. THIS IN TURN "POPPED" THE CYLINDER SLEEVE RETAINING RING FROM THE TOP OF THE CYLINDER WHEN THE PISTON CAME UP. WITH THE RING REMOVED, THE CYLINDER SLEEVE ALSO ROSE OUTSIDE OF THE CYLINDER WALL AND WAS CAUGHT BY THE PISTON ON THE DOWNWARD TRAVEL. THE COMPLETE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 20 DAYS. THE DEALER'S SHOP FOREMAN CHECKED THE RECORDS AND FOUND THAT 150 OTHER ENGINES WILL BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED WITH A POSSIBLE 180 PROBABLY AFFECTED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STALL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. HAS HAPPENED TWICE. HAS CONTACTED DEALER . *AK CONSUMER ADDED THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENDED 3 TIMES, DEALER CHANGED BOARD IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, HOWEVER CONSUMER DOES NOT FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM IS REMEDIED. *TT

WHILE DRIVING, ALL GAUGES WENT BLANK, DARK, HAD TO STOP VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE, AFTER 5 MINUTES, TURNED IT BACK ON. GAUGES STARTED WORKING AGAIN. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *AK *TT

AT REFUELING, VEHICLE WAS IN "NORMAL" PITCH ALINEMENT. AFTER REFUELING, AND UPON LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION, VEHICLE EXHIBITED UNUSUAL REAR END BOUNCE, AS IF SHOCK ABSORBERS WERE MISSING. AFTER TWO MILE TRIP AT CITY STREET SPEED, VEHICLE WAS PARKED. VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT REAR END WAS SAGGING ABOUT SIX INCHES DOWN, OR MORE. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO DEALER (ABOUT THREE MILES) AND EXAMINED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THAT COMPRESSOR FOR LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM WAS LEAKING AND HAD FAILED. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH A TOWED LOAD, I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE.*AK

PASSENGER'S SIDE POWER SEAT IS TILTED IN A DOWNWARD POSITION. CANNOT TILT UPWARD DUE TO ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. MOTOR CAN BE HEARD, BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING.*AK

THE MEMORY MIRROR FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE WORKED FOR A WHILE, THEN FAILED. EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR THE MIRRORS WOULD SET THEMSELVES INCORRECTLY AT ANGLES THAT RENDER THEM USELESS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, AND THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH. THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING GM SUGGESTS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL KEEPS COMING BACK. WHILE THIS ISSUE MAY AT FIRST SEEM MINOR, IT REALLY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT REQUIRES THE OUTSIDE MIRRIRS TO HAVE TO BE RESET BEFORE EVERY DRIVE. HAVING YOUR MIRRORS IN PROPER SETTING IS CRITICAL TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF A VEHICLE. GM DOES NOT SEEM TO TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO FIND A PERMANENT FIX.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH HEADWIND AND TOPPING OUT A LARGE HILL, FRONT END LIFTS AND SWERVES DUE TO A LARGE AIR POCKET FORMED BY THE FRONT OF THE HOOD, THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR AND GRILL 'FINS' OR 'BARS', THE POCKET IS FIVE INCHES DEEP, 4 INCHES HIGH AND 4 FEET WIDE. DRIVER FILLED THE POCKET WITH NYLON FOAM CUT TO FIT AND GLUED INTO PLACE. THE POCKET CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE TRACTION FOR THE FRONT (STEERING) WHEELS AND PUSHED THE FRONT END BY WIND GUSTS TO AN EXCESSIVE AND DANGEROUS AMOUNT.

PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR RESTRAINTS LOCK INADVERTENTLY, DEALER HAS REPAIRED RESTRAINTS TWICE. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK THE DEALER ADDED 6 INCH EXTENSIONS TO THE FRONT AND REAR BELTS, SINCE THEN THE FRONT BELT HAS LOCKED UP TWICE FOR NO REASON. *SLC

MY VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL AND CRASHED INTO A WATERFOUNTAIN AND A TREE IN MY FRONT YARD. BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE I STOPPED QUICKLY AFTER JUST EXITING MY GARAGE ON A SLOPE OF ABOUT 6% GRADE. I HAD SPILLED COFFEE, I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND STEPPED OUT WHEN THE CAR ABRUPTLY ROLLED BACKWARD. BOTH OF MY CHILDREN WERE STRAPPED IN THEIR SEATS AND I TRIED TO LEAP BACK ACROSS THE DRIVERS SEAT WITH MY LEGS HANGING OUT THE DOOR. WE TRAVELED 50 FEET BEFORE HITTING THE WATERFOUNTAIN AND TREE. THE RUSHING WATER FROM THE FOUNTAIN SOUNDED LIKE FULE READY TO EXPLODE. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH AN INJURY TO MY RIGHT LEG. I INFORMED GMC THE FOLLOWING DAY, FEB 1ST. ON FEB 7TH I RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT FROM ROGER LEWIS, CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGERT INFORMING ME THAT "HIS INVESTIGATION" REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF A PRODUCT DEFECT. I BECAME AWARE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM AND THAT ANOTHER RECALL, NOT INCLUDING MY VEHICLE VIN, BUT THOSE MADE TWO MONTHS LATER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I CALLED GMC INFORMING THEM AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO EXAMINE THE CASE FURTHER. I AM CONCERNED THAT GMC IS IGNORING A LIKELY UNFIXED TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER THE DRIVERS VEHICLE HIT A PATCH OF BLACK ICE SENDING THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD HITTING A STONE RETAINING WALL HEAD ON, NEITHER PASSENGER NOR DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. NLM

DAMPERS LOCATED INSIDE HEATER CONTROL SYSTEM ARE VERY ANNOYING. DRIVER CAN CONSTANTLY HEAR SHUTTER OPENING AND CLOSING AS VEHICLE ACCELERATES. *AK *YH

MIRRORS 'WANDER' EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS UNLOCKED, FAIL TO RETURN TO SETTINGS CREATING AN UNREASONABLE DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES WHEN CHANGING LANES OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC DUE TO LACK OF VISABILITY OF THE AREA BEHIND THE VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION FAILED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND TRANSFER CASE LOCKED AND IN 4WD AND TRANSMISSION IN PARK - VEHICLE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE SLIGHT GRADE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM - CAMPAIGN WAS COMPLETED AT DEALER, BUT FIX IS UNKNOWN TO THE OWNER.

WHILE CONSUMER'S WIFE WAS DRIVING STEERING ROD CAME OFF FROM STEERING WHEEL,CAUSING WHEEL TO NOT STEER. WHEEL WAS JUST FLOPPING AROUND. ALSO, CONSUMER HAD A BRAND NEW MOTOR PUT INTO VEHICLE, AND WAS TOLD THAT WHILE REPAIR WAS DONE STEERING WAS NOT TOUCHED AT ALL.*AK

AUTOMATIC MIRRORS WILL NOT MAINTAIN POSITION/MOVE ON THEIR OWN. *AK

APPEARS THAT VEHICLE MANUFACTURER HAS OPTED TO NOT INSTALL ALL REAR SEAT BOTTOM LATCHES ON THE REAR PASSENGER SEATING. THIS IS BEING REPORTED BY SEVERAL VEHICLE OWNERS OF THE 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER/GMC ENVOY LINE. IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, HAVING ONLY ONE LATCH ON THE LARGER SPLIT SEAT MAY CAUSE THE THE SEAT TO BE JARRED LOOSE WHICH IN TURN COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN PASSENGER INJURY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS, AND IF THERE'S PLANS BY GM TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION.
