ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY
ON OCTOBER 20 THE 2007 I PURCHASED A 2007 ENVOY SUV FROM RAMEY FORD IN TAZEWELL VA. ON OCTOBER 27, 2007 I HAD BACKED INTO MY DRIVE WAY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK HAD THE KEYS IN MY HAND AND WALKED AROUND THE VEHICLE TO GET MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE CAR SEAT. THIS IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING I THEN JUMPED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE I COULD STOP THE VEHICLE WE (MY DAUGHTER AND I) WERE OVER A FIVE-FOOT ROCK WALL INTO THE BUSHES MY FATHER STOOD THERE AND WATCHED THE WHOLE ACCIDENT. MY LEGS WERE HANGING OUT OF THE VEHICLE I WAS VERY BRUISED UP. THANK GOD THAT MY DAUGHTER HAD NOT BEEN UNBUCKLED FROM HER CAR SEAT. AFTER MY FATHER CHECKED TO SEE IF WE WERE OKAY I HANDED MY FATHER THE KEYS AND HE MOVED THE VEHICLE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE DASH IN THE PARK POSITION ( I HAVE PICTURES) THE DASH LIGHTS WERE READING PARK BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE AS THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. AFTER MOVING THE VEHICLE THE KEYS WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. WHEN I WRECKED AND MOVED THE VEHICLE THERE WAS SAND EVERYWHERE ON THE SCENE FROM THE VEHICLE IT WAS LIKE BEACH SAND. MY QUESTION IS WHY DID THE KEYS COME OUT OF THE IGNITION IF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK AND NOW THAT THE KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION YOU CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK POSITION AND THE KEYS WILL NOT COME OUT????? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT ON MY 05 GMC ENVOY THE GAS GAUGE STARTED BEEPING WHEN YOU WOULD FILL UP THE TANK. THEN IT STARTED TO NOT READ FULL WHEN IT WAS FILLED. NOW IT NEVER READS FULL AND WHEN THE TANK IS HALF EMPTY THE LIGHT WILL COME ON. IT WILL ALWAYS BEEP WHEN I FIRST START IT. THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT HAVE WENT OUT AFTER 36,000 MILES. THIS IS A FAULTY UNIT AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE IT. IF I WAS TO REPLACE IT MYSELF IT WOULD COST ME OVER $500.00 . TERRIBLE PRODUCT TERRIBLE PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2003 ENVOY WITH 68,000 WAS REAR ENDED. SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT I BEGAN TO HEAR A CLUNCKING NOISE WHEN STOPPING. AFTER I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED I WAS INFORMED THAT IT NO LONGER WOULD GO IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE SUNSHELL GEAR WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FINE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THE DEALER IS CLAIMING IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT AND THUS I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ESTIMATED $2,500 TO FIX! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HEADLIGHT DRIVER MODULE FUSE CAUGHT FIRE AND CAUSED A FIRE IN MY FUSE BOX IN WHICH I HAD TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE FUSE GOT HOT AND INSTEAD OF SHORTING OUT AND BLOWING THE FUSE IT CAUGHT FIRE. HAD I NOT BEEN IN MY DRIVEWAY MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BURNT COMPLETELY TO THE GROUND. THIS IMPOSES A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS WHILE GMC DECIDES WHAT THEY WILL DO. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN
VEHICLE COOLING FAN CLUTCH MAKING TICKING SOUNDS DUE TO THE "PULSING OF THE SOLENOID AS DESCRIBED IN THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN RELEASED BY GENERAL MOTORS (#05-06-06-004), WHICH SPECIFIES NOT TO REPLACE FAN CLUTCH, BUT REPROGRAM THE PCM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL COVERED BY GM, SINCE NO PARTS ARE BROKEN AND THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S SOFTWARE. CONSUMER CAN ONLY GET THIS FIXED BY GM DEALER. THIS EXPENSE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL BY GM SINCE IT INVOLVES ONLY THE DEFECTIVE COMPUTER PROGRAM. THE ARE NOT PARTS TO REPLACE, JUST A REPROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
1. I PURCHASED A 2004 ENVOY. THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM HAD IT UNDER WARRANTY. 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE COMING ON AND OFF, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS STARTED TO LOCK BY THEMSELVES SIMULTANEOUSLY. NON STOP. IT SCARES MY CHILDREN, AS WELL AS I, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO SPARK A FIRE OR WHAT. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT MORE THAN OTHERS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN IT RAINS, BUT IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I ROLL THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW UP. EVEN IF ITS NOT DOWN AND I ROLL IT UP IT DOES IT. AS WELL AS IF I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE AND SOMETIMES IT JUST DOES IT ON ITS ON. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A GMC DEALER 4 OR MORE TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM ANY WHERE. SO, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIND A SOLUTION. I PARK MY $18,000 VEHICLE NEXT TO THE ROAD IN CASE IT DOES SPARK A FIRE. PLEASE INFORM ME IF ANYTHING IS AVAILABLE OR WHO I NEED TO CONTACT AT GMC TO FIND AN ANSWER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR (2006 GMC ENVOY XLT) IT WAS FLOATING BACK AND FORTH AT FIRST THEN IT RESTS ON "E" AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE ALARM KEEPS RINGING THAT MY FUEL LEVEL IS LOW. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MORE THAN ONCE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW IT DOESN'T FLOAT AT ALL IT JUST STAYS ON "E" AND THE LIGHT AND BELLS ARE ON.

MANUFACTURE KNEW OF INFERIOR COMPONENTS WITHIN MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION AND DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. EXISTING SERVICE BULLETIN #00-07-30-022C DATED DEC 10, 2004 (WITHIN MY WARRANTY PERIOD) INDICATES SAME ISSUE I EXPERIENCED IN MY VEHICLE ON 10/23/2007. BULLETIN TITLE STATES REPLACE REACTION SUN SHELL WITH MORE ROBUST HEAT TREATED PARTS". THIS WAS KNOWN WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. FAILURE HAPPENED AFTER STANDARD WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THE FUEL TANK SENSOR MODULE ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY FAILED CAUSING THE TANK LEVEL INDICATOR TO FLUCTUATE AND READ IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY ABOUT 41,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS OLD. *TR THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE MODULE, AT A COST OF $700. THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE PRICE FOR A MODULE THAT SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN TWO YEARS.
