VISIBILITY
NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE AIR/VENT/HEAT SYSTEM. BREEZE BLOWING IN 24X7 AND THE "RECIRCULATE" BUTTON ONLY WORKS WHEN THE FAN IS ON. EXTREMELY IRRITATING WHEN DRIVING BEHIND A BUS, OR IN A DUST STORM, OR DURING A FIRE. IT IS HIGHLY IRRITATING TO HAVE AIR BLOWING IN YOUR EYES ALL THE TIME, OR ON YOUR FEET MAKING YOU COLD; OR THE OPPOSITE DURING THE SUMMER. WHAT IF I DON'T WANT AIR BLOWING ON ME, HOT OR COLD? I THINK IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE TO ALWAYS FIDDLE WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS TRYING TO MAKE IT COMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS CAR WAS DESIGNED LIKE THIS, I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR PAYMENT I NEVER HAD BEFORE AND A VERY SAD SITUATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI PURCHASED 12/05. BEGINNING AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT ABRUPTLY INTO 1ST GEAR AFTER THE CAR HAD STOPPED MOVING. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR HAS BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT STATES THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE VEHICLE HAS A SEVERE HESITATION WHEN THE ENGINE IS UNDER A LOAD. THIS HAS BEEN CALLED A SURGE BY ONE MECHANIC. HAD TRUCK 2 MONTHS BOUGHT IT USED WITH 29,000 MILES IT'S A GMC ENVOY. WHILE GOING UP HILLS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE ENGINES STARTS TO MISS/SURGE/HESITATE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE SPEED AND RPM'S. AS YOU SLOWLY PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GAIN SPEED THE ENGINE MISSES MORE. I HAD THIS TRUCK TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED THE FUEL MODULE ON THE ENGINE THEN REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD BY THEM IT'S THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AT 33,000 MILES AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THE CHECKED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT, AT 50K WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH LOST THE POWER TRAIN. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION AND THREE WEEKS THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO FIX FOR 500 VICE 3300 WHICH THEY WANTED. A WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN AND NOW WE LOST POWER STEERING AND THE GAS NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WIESNER GMC IN CONROE TX AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED ANY CALLS. I AM NOW TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC TO TRIED TO GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL SOMETIMES SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING A CERTAIN MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. EXAMPLE: VEHICLE IS IN PARK. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 34 MPH. WHEN DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER BASES IT'S SPEED OFF OF 34 MPH BEING AT 0 AND ACTUAL SPEED IS 34MPH HIGHER THAN WHAT I AM ACTUALLY GOING. ALSO, VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WILL SOMETIMES GET STUCK PAST 120MPH BECAUSE OF THE NEEDLE BEING AT A CERTAIN SPEED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN MOVING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE MPH AND RPM GAUGES NOT WORKING. NEEDLE WOULD NOT GO DOWN TO ZERO. WOULD GET STUCK IN ONE MPH AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM THERE. WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN TO ZERO IN 5MPH INCREMENTS BY STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE, BUT THEN AFTER DRIVING IT WOULD STICK AT 40 AND UP. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT MY OTHER 2004 CHEVY TRUCK RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM MY GMC WAS HAVING. HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE DASH BOARD CLUSTER(OVER $500.00). I NEEDED TO KNOW THE SPEED I WAS DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
MY 2004 ENVOY XUV REAR TAILGATE HAS 2 BROKEN RELEASES IN IT. AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, THE ONLY WAY TO ACCESS THE REAR ENCLOSED PART OF THIS VEHICLE IS THROUGH THE REAR DOOR, IF THERE IS NO REAR ACCESS, THEN YOU CANNOT GET WHAT IS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE OUT. IN MY CASE, A DOG WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT THE MIDGATE WINDOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE IS TOO SMALL TO GET THE DOG OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS AS EVEN IF THERE WAS A ACCESS TO THE REAR THROUGH THE CENTER MIDGATE, SOME OBJECTS COULD GET PLACED IN THE REAR AREA THAT ARE TOO LARGE TO REMOVE VIA THE MIDGATE AND SIDE DOORS AND IF THE REAR TAILGATE CANNOT BE OPENED, THE OBJECTS WILL NEVER BE REMOVED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
EMISSIONS LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN GO OFF FOR WEEKS. WHEN HAVING VEHICLE 50,000 MILE SERVICE THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND GOT BOTH A P0128 BAD THERMOSTAT CODE AND A P0463 FAN CLUTCH FAILURE CODE. THIS CARE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. THE THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACES AS WELL AS THE FAN CLUTCH AT GREAT EXPENSE AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE THERMOSTAT OR THE FLUSH OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM THAT WENT ALONG WITH REPLACING SAID THERMOSTAT. *TR
