2005 GMC Envoy complaints

AT THE BEGINNING OF NOV THERE WAS TWO OCCASIONS THAT I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK MY HEADLIGHTS AND THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BOARD WOULD DIM AND FLASH EVERY TIME I LET MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. THE GAUAGE TO THE BATTERY WOULD DROP DOWN PASS THE HALF POINT.AND I WOULD HERE CLICKING IN MY STEERING COLUMN,THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON.I TOLD THE GMC DEALERABOUT THIS,THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY CONCERN AT THAT TIME. HE GAVE ME A #02-06-03-008A FORM AND TOLD ME IT COULDNT BE FIXED. I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS I AM DRIVING A DEFECTIVE SUV. I AM AFRAID OF GOING OUT TO START MY SUV AND IT NOT START.THAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IT COULD HAVE. *NM

FIRST THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE DEALER REPLACED A BELT FOR 200.00. SECONDLY THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED READING FUEL LEVELS, DEALER STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS DEAD AND WOULD COST 300.00 TO REPLACE. NEXT THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OVER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. ALSO THEY HAD A SUNROOF INSTALLED FOR ME. A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE THE SUNROOF STARTED TO OPEN AND CLOSE EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, IT WAS REPAIRED BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2005 GMC ENVOY SLE IN MARCH OF 2006. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE WHILE STOPPED WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO RESUME AND NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND BOTH TIMES THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *JB

2005 GMC ENVOY XL PURCHASE APRIL 29, 2006 JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER MY DRIVE SHAFT WAS REPLACED. A FEW WEEKS LATER WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC OFF OF THE EXPRESS WAY ENGINE DIED. VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 5TH TIME FOR SAME PROBLEM OF ENGINE STALLING DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL RATTLING AND FINALLY BROKE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO BRAKING PRIOR TO THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR OTHER OBJECTS. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE DEPLOYMENT, HOWEVER IT DID ILLUMINATE AFTER THE DEPLOYMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. UPDATED 7/25/2006 - *NM

IN AUGUST 2005 ON A TRIP, EXITING OFF RAMP BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, WAS ABLE TO "PUMP" IT AND GET RESPONSE. AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF, SETTING & RESTART BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. UPON RETURN TO DEALERSHIP MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. A FEW MONTHS LATER BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY "SPONGY" WITH NO STOPPING POWER. DEALERSHIP BLED BRAKES AND SAID PROBLEM WAS AIR IN SYSTEM. STILL NO IMPROVEMENT, EXTREMELY SOFT PEDAL AND UNIT WILL NOT PANIC STOP. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP END OF JUNE 2006 AND THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER A SECOND TIME. UNIT IS STILL NO BETTER AND IN MY OPINION UNSAFE TO DRIVE IF IT WILL NOT PANIC STOP. DEALERSHIP SAYS GM HAS TOLD THEM TO ORDER MORE PARTS, BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *NM

I NOTICED RESIDUE ON ROTORS. *JB

I HAVE AN '05 GMC ENVOY SLT. I'VE ONLY OWNED IT SIX MONTHS, SINCE NOV '05. I'VE DEALT WITH FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS UNTIL JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I HAD THAT ISSUE LOOKED AT WHILE INSTALLING STEP RAILS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A TYPICAL ISSUE WITH ENVOYS AND THEY ONLY NEEDED TO 'TIGHTEN' SOME BOLTS. WHEN I INITIALLY MENTIONED THE PROBLEM I ALSO COMMENTED THAT I WOULD GET THE 'SHOCK' OF MY LIFE WHILE EXITING THE ENVOY AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE A GROUNDING ISSUE BUT THEY SAID NO. ANYWAY. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR A FEW DAYS BUT IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN AND IT GETS WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. BEFORE I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SO BAD I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE SURGE IN UNISON WITH THE FLICKERING OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS. I FEEL THIS COULD BE AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT INVOLVES THE HEADLIGHTS AND IT MORE NOTICEABLE IN THE DARK HOURS. *JB

MY SON WAS KILLED IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT ON 4/18/06. HE WAS EJECTED THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IN WHICH THE TOP PART OF THE DOOR WAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR DURING THE ROLLOVER. BY LOOKING AT THE TIRE TRACKS OF THE ACCIDENT, HE WAS JUST ENTERING THE ON RAMP OF THE ROAD AND THE TRACKS SHOW NO SKID MARKS, SWERVING, ETC, JUST A STRAIGHT LINE INTO THE DITCH AS IF HE DIDNT HAVE CONTROL OF THE STEERING OR BRAKES, POSSIBLE STALLING ?? BOTH TIRES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WERE FLATTENED. AIR BAGS WERE NEVER DEPLOYED. *NM

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, IN THE PROCESS OF SLOWING DOWN OR AT A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK EXPERIENCES ENGINE SURGES. IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND GIVES NO WARNING. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I'VE ALMOST REAR-ENDED PEOPLE NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THE SURGES. IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'LL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT FOR ANOTHER SERVICE CALL WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME BUT THEN A CO-WORKER SAID SHE HAD THE SAME ISSUES TO THE EXTENT THAT SHE SOLD HER CAR BACK AND BOUGHT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MAKE & MODEL. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEED THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE CAUSE.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2005 GMC ENVOY SLT IN DEC. 2004, WHICH CAME RIGHT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. WE HAD LOW FUEL ECONOMY BUT THOUGHT THIS WOULD GET BETTER WITH MORE MILES. AFTER 30,000 MILES OUR TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AT NO TIME DID ANY INTERNAL SENSOR SYSTEM DETECT A PROBLEM AND WE DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING UNTIL IT WAS TO LATE. WE TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR REPAIR. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC THE PROBLEM WAS A SMALL O-RING WHICH WAS DAMAGED AT THE FACTORY AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION CAME FROM THE FACTORY THIS WAY. THEY DID REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOW I ONLY HAVE A 12,000 MILE WARRANTY ON A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. WE FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED AT THE FACTORY AND WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANYTHING WE DID. WE PAID A HEFTY SUM FOR THIS SUV AND NOW THE VALUE HAS DEPRECIATED EVEN MORE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. NOW WE FEEL WE HAVE A LEMON ON OUR HANDS AND NO WAY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION THE GAS WE WASTED AND THE TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR APPROX. 2 WEEKS. WE THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING A RELIABLE VEHICLE!!! *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLS AND OPERATES AT A REDUCED SPEED. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK AT NIGHT AND THE GAS GAUGE PROVIDES AN INCORRECT DISPLAY OF THE PROPER FUEL LEVEL. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW DROPPED THE LIGHTS BECAME DIM AND THE BATTERY FAILED. UPDATED 04/06/06. *JB

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ENTERING THE FREEWAY ON RAMP. THE RAMP IS CONTROLLED BY A SIGNAL AND I WAS WAITING MY TURN WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. I WAS COASTING DOWNHILL INTO ANOTHER CAR WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. I BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DAMAGING THE FRONT GRILL AND HOOD OF MY CAR. SUBMITTED THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. *JB

I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER ON A COLD EVENING IN A GMC ENVOY I HAD RENTED FROM NATIONAL RENT A CAR. IT WAS, I BELIEVE, A 2005 MODEL. IT WAS A COLD NIGHT AND THE DEFROSTER HAD TO BE TURNED ON. WHILE DRIVING, FIVE MINUTES LATER, A LARGE "CRACK" WAS NOTED. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED STARTING IN THE EXACT SHAPE OF THE CENTRAL DEFROSTER. THE SINGLE EXIT DEFROSTER IS A HAZARD AS HEAT IS TOO CONCENTRATED. *JB

I OWN A 2005 ENVOY - 7 MONTHS AFTER OWNING IT - WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK ALL THE SUDDEN THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH/RADIO/MIRROR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF. "LIKE A COP CAR" TO THE POINT WE PRESSED ON STAR-AFRAID THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL ON BUSY/DARK FREEWAY. WHEN I CALLED A DEALER THEY SAID OH "THAT'S NORMAL" YOU HAD TO MUCH RUNNING AND NEW CARS CAN NOT HANDLE "HEATER/RADIO ETC. "ITS NO BIG DEAL" > I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID NO-THIS IS A PROBLEM BRING THE CAR IN. ENDS UP THERE WAS A BULLETIN FOR THIS AND THE CHIP HAD TO BE UPDATED. VERY WRONG FOR THE ONE DEALER TO SAY NO BIG DEAL-WHEN THEY KNOW A UPDATE WAS OUT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD. THIS OCCURS EVEN IF THE BRAKE PEDAL OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND TRYING TO DETERMINE A REMEDY. UPDATED 04/11/06. *JB

(2005 ENVOY) ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE DIMMING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT . THIS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY. WHEN THE LIGHTS DIM, THE HEAT SLOWS DOWN AS WELL. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS OCCASIONALLY DIM WHEN THIS HAPPENS, TOO. MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY AND STARTED TO LOOK AT THE BATTERY GAGE, WHILE ONE OF US KEPT AN EYE ON THE LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH. LAST WEEK IT HAPPENED ABOUT EVERY 2 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY SCARY, AS I THOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS JUST GOING TO SHUT DOWN. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY GM DEALER AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND WIRES WERE FINE. HE STATED THAT WITH NEW VEHICLES AND EVERYTHING THAT IS RUN IN THEM THIS IS NORMAL. ALTHOUGH HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THEIR COMPUTER TOLD THEM THAT NOTHING NEEDED TO BE FIXED. WE HAVE NO AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE ONLY THINGS RUNNING WERE THE HEAT AND RADIO. *NM

ON THE NIGHT OF SATURDAY (AT 9 P.M.), DECEMBER 10, 2005, I DROVE MY GMC ENVOY SLT TO MICHAEL'S. WHEN DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, MY DAUGHTER AND I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE PARKED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AGAIN. SEVERAL ICONS THAT HAD NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN APPEARED, AND MY VEHICLE'S CLOCK REFLECTED 12:00. THE CLOCK WAS SET FOR THE CORRECT TIME INITIALLY, AND NEVER TAMPERED . WE SHOPPED FOR 20 MINUTES AND RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE, STARTED IT UP AND AGAIN SEVERAL ICONS APPEARED. THE CLOCK SAID 12:00 THOUGH IT WAS 9:30 P.M. WE DROVE THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD VIEWING SOME CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AS I PULLED ONTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND BEGAN BREAKING TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND AND PARK IT OUTSIDE OF OUR GARAGE, IT DID NOT RESPOND TO BREAKING. WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN HARDER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED AT THE SAME SPEED. I SCREAMED THAT WE WERE GOING TO HIT THE GARAGE DOOR, AND AT THAT MOMENT FELT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED DOWN ALL THE WAY. IT SLAMMED THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR, I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. MY FRONT AND MY DAUGHTER'S FRONT PASSENGER DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED AND WE SMELLED GAS. MY HUSBAND CALLED 911 AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES RESPONDED. THEY DETERMINED IT SHOULD BE SAFE BUT ASKED THE FURNACE BE TURNED DOWN SO THAT IT WOULD NOT CAUSE ANY COMBUSTION AND TO KEEP THE AREA VENTILATED.. THE GARAGE DOOR WAS TOTAL

CONSUMER 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS A DEFECT THAT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED. VEHICLE STALLED.*TS THE HAZARD LIGHTS CAME ON WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WAS IN USE. THE DEALER REPLACED A BAD FLASHER. *JB

I RECENTLY BOUGHT AN GMC ENVOY XUV SUDDENLY ONE DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND IT STARTED RAINING, I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND THEN ADJUSTED IT TO THE SLOWEST MODE. THEY STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE RAIN WITH POOR VISIBILITY. I ALSO BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE AND AS OF THIS DATE THERE ARE ONLY APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CALLED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD IT MAY NOT BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY SO FAR I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT BEEN USING THIS VEHICLE. UNTIL I GET BETTER SERVICE AT GMC I WILL CONTINUE TO NOT USE IT. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLE DEFAULTED INTO THIRD GEAR AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS WAS DUE TO A COMPUTER PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE SOLUTION. *AK

WHEN DRIVING - INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER/BLINK. *NM

CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF 2005 GMC ENVOY WHILE DRIVING. ***NO WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY THE CONSUMER SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE WHEN IT ROLLED OVER TWICE. THE CONSUMER AND HIS WIFE WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE CONSUMER REQUEST THAT A SAFETY INVESTIGATION BE INITIATED IN REFERENCE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS WAS A RENTAL VEHICLE. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH HIT THE BRAKES AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND KNOCKED HIM UNCONSCIOUS. HE HAD A FRIEND IN THE VEHICLE AND HE WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO COLLISION, AND HE WAS UNSURE WHETHER HE RAN OVER ANYTHING. THE ROOF LINING FELL BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. HE SUSTAINED HEAD ABRASIONS; HE COULD NOT HEAR OUT OF LEFT EAR, AND COULD NOT SEE PROPERLY OUT OF LEFT EYE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY COULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A GM ENGINEER'S APPROVAL. HE RECEIVED A HISTORY OF VEHICLE AT TIME OF PURCHASE, AND HAS SINCE NOTICED THERE HAD BEEN BODY WORK DONE.*AK

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

2005 GMC ENVOY HAS DEVELOPED MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. *MR THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT SIDE COVER WAS COMING OFF AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW WAS INOPERATIVE. BOTH ISSUES WERE RECURRENT. *SC

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER PERIODICALLY. I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE HOME AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS A HUGE DISTRACTION TO HER WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LESS THAN 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO MY FRIEND, HIS 2005 TRAILBLAZER DOES THE SAME THING. NM

DT: CONSUMER OWNS A '05 GMC ENVOY AND HAS DIFFICULTY TOWING A TRAILER WITHIN GM RATES, GM STATES THAT HIS ENVOY CAN TOW A WEIGHT OF 5,800 POUND CAPACITY, HOWEVER HE FEELS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO MANEUVER A TRAVEL TRAILER OF 3,400 POUND CAPACITY. THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. CONSUMER HAS PULLED THE TRAILER WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND IT PULLS FINE BUT WHEN ATTACHED TO THE ENVOY THERE IS A PROBLEM. CONSUMER FEELS IT IS NOT WITH THE SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE BUT WITHIN THE ENGINE WHICH IS A V6. WHEN PULLING TRAILER FOR A DISTANCE AS LITTLE AS 2 MILES THE ENGINE HEATS UP, AND HE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF SPEED AND ENGINE THE BOGS DOWN TO 30 MPH. ENVOY IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 373 AXLE RATIO AND CAN NOT PULL AN ENCLOSED 24FT TRAVEL TRAILER ON IT'S 6 CYLINDER ENGINE. THE 2ND TRIP TO DEALER, THE SERVICE MANAGER DID DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THE CONSUMER NEEDED A V8 ENGINE. ALSO, THERE IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. CONSUMER GAVE EXAMPLES OF AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES AND THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM ENABLING ITSELF RESULTING IN A SHUTDOWN OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK TO DEALER 10 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER SAID GM WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE REPAIR UNLESS THEY COULD DUPLICATE PROBLEM. HAS CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT LEAST 100 TIMES FOR THESE ISSUES WITHOUT ANY LUCK. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS AS A RESULT. CONSUMER IS STILL EX

I OWN A 2005 ENVOY SLE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS A RESULT OF A TIRE BLOWOUT. I WAS CHANGING LANES ON A CITY STREET. I MOVED FROM THE RIGHT LANE TO THE LEFT LANE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO ADJUST TO MOVING OVER. I THAN ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE AND IT BEGAN TO FISH TAIL. I TRIED TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE FROM SWERVING AND I HIT THE GUARD RAIL. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE REAR TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS FLAT. I DID NOT HIT THE GUARD RAIL WITH THE REAR OF THE CAR ONLY THE FRONT. I BELIEVE THE BLOWOUT WAS THE REASON THE CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I AM SAVING THE TIRE TO HAVE SOMEONE INSPECT IT JUST TO SEE IF MY CLAIMS COULD BE RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIND ANY CUTS IN THE TIRE TO REPRESENT I RAN OVER SOMETHING PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] MY NAME IS [XXX] I AM [XXX]DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DT: CONSUMER STATES THAT 2005 GMC ENVOY SLE DOESN'T HAVE A REAR DOOR AJAR WARNING. CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO GET A MODEL WITH THAT ON IT, IT DOESN'T COME STANDARD.*AK

SEVERE CAR CRASH WITH MY LEASED 2005 GMC ENVOY. MUCH SIDE AND FRONT DAMAGE OCCURED, BUT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. GMC WILL BE SENDING SOMEONE FROM THE PROTECTION ALLEGATION DEPARTMENT TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE AIR BAGS WITHIN THE NEXT 14 DAYS. THE ACCIDENT OCCURED ON 4/22/05. I DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND GIVEN BACK TO ME FOR THE FOLLOWING 2 REASONS: THE VEHICLE INCURRED (IN MY OPINION, POLICE REPORT, ALLSTATE INSURANCE CO., STERLING AUTO BODY REPAI SHOP) ETC ... EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. THE 2ND REASON IS THE AIRBAGS, AS STATED, DID NOT DEPLOY. IF ANYONE WERE TO BE SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE READILY AT MY DISPOSAL ANY AND ALL ADDITIONAL INFO. WHICH I WILL GLADLY SUBMIT WHEN NECESSARY.

WHILE GOING OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMPS AT NIGHT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE FOG LIGHTS FLICKERED ON/OFF. ALSO, THE LENS COVERING THE HEADLIGHTS WERE LOOSE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, AND WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS. IT WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED.*AK

PURCHASED NEW 05 ENVOY XL 12/04. WINDSHIELD IS SO DEFECTIVE IT IS DIFIFCULT TO FOCUS OR SEE CLEARLY TO DRIVE. CAUSES EXTREME EYE STRAIN AND HEADACHE TO THE POINT OF BEING UNABLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED WITH ANOTHER WINDSHIELD THEY FOUND AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. IT IS JUST AS DEFECTIVE. ENVOY IS EXTEMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FOCUS CLEARLY THRU WINDSHIELD. IT WILL MAKE YOU LITERALLY SICK TO TRY AND DRIVE IT IT CAUSES INABILITY TO FOCUS CLEARLY, EXTREME EYE STRAIN/PAIN, MIGRAINE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS AND NO ONE WANTS TO RIDE IN IT BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU SICK. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE...CAN'T SEE WELL. DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX. SAYS THEY HAVE A MEMO SAYING NOT TO FIX ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL DEFECTIVE. WE HAVE WAITED 3MONTHS FOR A REP. TO BE AVAILABLE. SAY THEY HAVE NONE TO LOOK AT IT. THEY ARE REASSIGNING REPS SOON TO OUR AREA. THERE MUST BE SOMEONE FOR GMC WHO CAN FIX THIS DANGEROUS AND 'SICKENING' SITUATION. $40,000+ VEHICLE AND CAN'T DRIVE IT. IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS YOU CAN'T SEE WELL TO FOCUS IT IS SO DISTORTED. EVERYTHING IS WAVY, OUT OF FOCUS AND HURTS YOUR EYES. TO TRY AND DRIVE IT ON A BRIGHT, SUNNY DAY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE BRIGHTNESS MAKES THE DISTORTION ALL THE WORSE. I HAVE HAD TO WEAR THREE PAIRS OF SUNGLASSES AT ONE TIME TRYING TO DARKEN IT ENOUGH TO DRIVE ON A SUNNY DAY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING DRIVER HEARD A LOUD BANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WITH THE MEMORY SEATS AND MIRRORS. ON PRIOR YEAR ENVOYS, WHEN YOU PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE, THE SEATS AND MIRRORS WOULD RECALL TO THAT DRIVERS POSITION. NOW YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE 1 OR 2 BUTTON ON THE DOOR, WHILE IN PARK, TO RECALL THE SEAT AND MIRROR POSITIONS. THERE IS NO TIE WITH THE REMOTE AND THE MEMORY SEATS. I DON'T KNOW WHY GM WOULD DO AWAY WITH THIS FEATURE, BUT IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT AND IN MY OPINION - A BIG STEP BACKWARDS.*AK

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. MY WIFE WAS IN HER 2005 GMC ENVOY WHEN IT WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S TIRE, AND WAS DRIVEN INTO A CONCRETE POWER POLE AT 40 MPH HEAD ON. THE POWER LINES WERE KNOCKED DOWN. DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED, AND HER HEAD HIT THE STEERING, CAUSING A BUMP ON THE HEAD, A BLACK EYE AND A CUT LIP.*AK

I WAS DRIVING ALONE AND THE DASH BOARD LIGHT WENT OUT I AND THE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON I COULD NOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER. I PULLED OVER AND COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM CAR OR PUT THE CARD BACK INTO DRIVE .THE CAR SHOP HAD TO REROUTE SOME WIRE BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY AFTERMARKET ADD ONS. *JB
