AIR BAGS
THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FOR THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE DRINK CUP HOLDER.. DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE SENSOR THE SENSOR GETS WET AND CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BY NOT DEPLOYING THE AIR BAGS WHEN NEEDED..I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE, I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY HAD A LOT OF THESE ISSUES BUT GMC DECIDED IT WAS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE.. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ON MAY 3RD 2010, THE TRUCK JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY SON AT NIGHT. I HAD TO QUICKLY TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY POWER ASSIST. THE ENVOY WOULD NOT START AGAIN, NOT EVEN TURN OVER. THE SHIFTER WAS LOCKED AND IT COULD NOT EVEN BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT OVER TO THE SIDE. VARIOUS MESSAGES SCROLLED BY ON THE VEHICLE DISPLAY AND MANY OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE DIMLY BLINKING. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. I SCANNED THE FOLLOWING CODES P1516 & P1682, LOOKED UP THE SYMPTOMS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY HITS THAT SAID THE ISSUE WAS WITH A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. AFTER CHARGING UP THE BATTERY WHICH RAN DOWN ON THE HAZARDS WHILE WAITING AN HOUR FOR A TOW, I REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE ENVOY NOW WORKS AGAIN. IT HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH! I CONSIDER IT A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT A VEHICLE CAN DIE WHILE DRIVING AND THEN BE SO COMPLETELY DISABLED BY A $30 PART. THIS COULD OF HAD MUCH MORE DIRE CONSEQUENCES HAD IT HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY AS OPPOSED TO A SUBURBAN SIDE STREET. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 GMAC ENVOY - THE SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC. WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN ROAD, IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO RECALL. I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW CLUSTER - $600 PLUS LABOR! INTERESTING THERE ARE 4 OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW THAT OWN GM SUVS AND THEY ARE ALL DOING IT AS WELL. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE CLUSTER AND THAT HAS FIXED BUT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY LITTLE CIRCLE. THERE IS A OVERALL PROBLEM WITH THE GM/GMAC CARS. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE FOR THE CONSUMER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SYSTEM: THE FUEL GAGE HAS BEEN GOING TO EMPTY AFTER A FILL UP. AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES IT WOULD APPEAR TO WORK UNTIL MORE GAS ADDED. NOW IT IS IN TOTAL FAILURE WITH AN OBD LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY. OBD LIGHT USELESS AS NO WAY TO IMMEDIATELY DETERMINE IF THE GAUGE IS THE ONLY PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN USING THE TRIP ODOMETER TO APPROXIMATE FUEL REMAINING FOR MORE THAN 10K MILES. FEAR IS THAT THE ASSOCIATED FUEL PUMP WILL FAIL AS IS ALL ONE PART. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 GMAC ENVOY. UPON FILLING GAS TANK TO FULL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY. GAUGE WILL FLUXUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL FOR 10-20 MILES. THEN IT WILL SHOW FULL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IT WILL SWING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. THEN IT SEEMS TO WORK, ALTHOUGH I'M NOT SURE, IT JUST DOES NOT SWING QUICKLY. I THINK THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD...WHAT IF I WAS GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN AND IT SHOWS 1/2 TANK, BUT RUNS OUT OF GAS. STEERING WOULD BE IMPAIRED AND AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY XL. WE PURCHASED IT WITH 45,000 MILES. NOW AT 49,500 MILES IT APPEARS THE FUEL GAUGE IS BROKEN. IT STARTED ABOUT 1,000 MILES AGO. IT SEEMED IT WAS TAKING A LOT OF MONEY TO FILL THE TANK...MORE THAN USUAL. NOW EVEN WHEN WE FILL THE GAS TANK UP THE GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY. THIS IS CAUSING US A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN WE NEED TO FILL UP AGAIN. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE STRANDED. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING US IT WILL COST ABOUT $800 TO FIX. PLEASE HELP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 GMC ENVOY SUV, 45,XXX MILES. NOVEMBER 2009 ENVOY WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE (NEW BATTERY REPLACED 7-09), JUMPED ENVOY AND WOULD LOOSE CHARGE, KEYS ALWAYS WERE LOCKED IN VEHICLE IGNITION. APRIL 2010 AGAIN, VEHICLE WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE (SOMETHING DRAINING BATTERY - NOTHING LEFT ON). TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, NO PROBLEMS LOCATED, MECHANIC REPLACED 7-09 BATTERY (FREE), DROVE VEHICLE 4 DAYS AND DID NOT DRIVE FOR 5 DAYS - AGAIN VEHICLE WOULD NOT START (NO LIGHTS, ETC) JUMPED VEHICLE OFF. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO MECHANIC, NOTHING INDICATED IN STARTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY - NOTHING WAS LEFT ON. TOOK HOME AGAIN SAME PROBLEM 4 DAYS RUNNING, 6 DAYS DID NOT DRIVE, VEHICLE WILL NOT START; HAD TO JUMP OFF AGAIN. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE MECHANIC. IN THE MEANTIME I RESEARCHED AND FOUND GM BULLETIN 04-06-03-002 FOR "MISINDEXED IGNITION SWITCH"; NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF SAME ISSUE. CURRENTLY ENVOY IS AT MECHANIC AFTER I REPORTED GM BULLETIN. *TR

2005 ENVOY FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. NOT COVERED BY BULLETIN: GM SPEEDOMETER "SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT" 07187A 07187B. JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 GMC ENVOY SLT WITH 49,000 MILES, STILL OWE $6000 AND FUEL GAUGE READS CONSTANT EMPTY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT TO CHANGE A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, THAT THE GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE DROPPED AND SENSOR REPLACED @ $91.00 PER HOUR PLUS PARTS. I FEEL THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I TRAVEL TO ALOT OF UNKNOWN LOCATIONS INCLUDING HIGH CRIME AREAS OF BALTIMORE CITY TO COMPLETE REAL ESTATE APPRAISALS. I HAVE ACTUALLY WITNESS DRUG DEALS TAKE PLACE LESS THAN 100 FEET FROM MY VEHICLE. IF I RUN OUT OF GAS IN ONE OF THESE UNDESIRABLE LOCATIONS DEATH IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, AT A MINIMUM THERE WOULD CERTAINLY BE ROBBERY AND ASSAULT. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY AFTER SEVERAL 100 REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WHY GMC WILL NOT HELP WITH THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THIS ISSUE OR RECALL THE VEHICLE FOR THIS VERY COMMON EXPENSIVE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

MICHELIN CROSS TERRAIN TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED SIDEWALL CRACKS IN ALL 4 TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE 23,750 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ON 2006 GMC ENVOY. THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED MICHELIN TIRE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY DID ACKNOWLEDGE THE CRACKS. THEY IN TURN CALLED MICHELIN WHO SUPPOSEDLY AUTHORIZED A 55% CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW SET OF TIRES. IF MICHELIN ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THE DEFECT, THEN THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. *TR

SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN 2005 ENVOY SLT XL WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY ON FOUR LANE ROAD. THE CAR HIT A SMALL POT HOLE IN THE HIGHWAY AND THEY DEPLOYED. I CALLED STATE TROOPER AND HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DEPLOYED EITHER. I MADE A TRAFFIC REPORT AND CARRIED IT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CONTACTED GMAC AND THEY DECLINE TO GET INVOLVED AND SAID IT WAS A ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE OR WHEELS ON TRUCK. THE FRONT SEATBELTS STUCK ALSO. I WAS NOT GOING MORE THEN 45 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WAS A TRAFFIC LIGHT COMING UP AND I SLOWED FOR IT. *TR
