EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
PROBLEM WITH BRAKE LIGHT NOT COMING ON. THE FUSES AND TAIL LIGHTS HAVE BEEN CHECKED; ALL FUSES AND BULBS ARE FUNCTIONING. THIS IS HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING, FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS UNSUSPECTED DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THIS WILL ALSO CREATE PROBLEMS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ME OR ANYONE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, LIGHTING IN THE DASH, AND OTHER LIGHTING FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. THE LIGHTS BECOME VERY DIM AND THEN GET BRIGHT AGAIN IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS. THIS IS GETTING TO BE DANGEROUS AS PEOPLE TEND TO PULL OVER IN FRONT OF ME AND SOMETIMES TRAFFIC IN GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION COMING TOWARDS ME WILL PULL OF THE ROAD ALL THINKING THAT I AM FLASHING THEM EITHER DUE TO AN EMERGENCY OR JUST SOME WILD DRIVER BEHIND THE WHEEL. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BUT HE STATES HE CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. OF COURSE HE ALSO STATED THEY TOOK IT FOR A RIDE BUT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN FOR THEM. I GUESS NOT, IT IS HARD TO SEE LIGHTS FLICKERING IN THE SUNSHINE. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
WHEN I FILL MY ENVOY WITH GAS, IT WILL NOT STOP WHEN IT IS FULL. THE GAS THEN SPILLS OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE SUV AND CAUSES ME TO CLEAN IT IMMEDIATELY AND SMELL LIKE GAS. I KNOW THAT IT IS THE SUV AND NOT THE PUMP BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH MY OTHER VEHICLE AT THE SAME PUMP. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:FAN/MOTOR
THE BLOWER MOTOR ON OUR 2004 GMC ENVOY QUIT WORKING AND UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND THE WIRING HARNESS THAT PLUGS INTO THE RESISTOR HAD MELTED TOGETHER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ORDER THE TWO PARTS (RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS), IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS IS ON NATIONWIDE BACKORDER. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO INDICATED THAT HE HAS 5 OTHERS ON BACKORDER. FROM THAT COMMENT, HE INDICATED THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND RESISTOR MELTING TOGETHER ON A NATIONAL BASIS. THE FACT THAT THE HEAT WAS SO GREAT TO MELT THESE TWO COMPONENTS TOGETHER CLEARLY INDICATES A POSSIBLE FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD. I BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
GMC ENVOY SUV (4.2) INLINE 6-CYLINDER. VEHICLE HAS STALLED FIVE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS. IT STALLS OUT WHEN YOU BEGIN TO STOP OR START TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR JUST WHILE IDLING. LUCKILY IT HASN'T BEEN WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PASS OR MERGE IN TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME WAS AROUND 23,000 AND THE SECOND TIME 23,500. THE NEXT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT IDLING AND IT DIED AFTER RUNNING FOR 5-8 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDED CLEANING - DONE. SIX WEEKS LATER AND 1500 MILES IT STALLED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A U-TURN IN ST. PETERSBURG AND I NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED. DEALER KEPT IT TWO DAYS AND DID NOTHING SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND COULDN'T GET ANYTHING FROM THE COMPUTER. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 7/21 FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGE, FUEL FILTER CHANGE, AND A/C REPAIR-BAD CLUTCH). THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD TWO COMPUTER MODULE UPDATES, ONE TO FIX STALLS. THREE DAYS LATER IT STALLED IN JACKSONVILLE TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME TO THE DEALER AND LEFT FOR A WEEK. DEALER SAID VEHICLE IDLING ROUGH BUT COMPUTER NOT REGISTERING PROBLEM SO NOTHING WAS DONE, AGAIN. I E-MAILED GM AND I HAVE HAD NO REPLY IN TWO WEEKS. I SEE WHERE A PERSON WITH A V8 VERSION IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE GMC ENVOY XLT EXPERIENCES A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS AT OR BELOW A QUARTER TANK OF GAS THE VEHICLE'S GAS PEDAL BECOMES INOPERABLE AND THE FORWARD VELOCITY IS LOST TO THE POINT THAT IF YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WILL IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN RESULTING IN A COMPLETELY HAZARDOUS AND UNSAFE SITUATION WHERE THE DRIVER HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD OR BE REAR ENDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONLY UNDER THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE. SEVERAL GMC ENVOY XLT OWNERS HAVE EXPRESSED THE SAME SITUATION. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GMC IN 2005 BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN BUT THEY AREN'T ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY AS A MANUFACTURER. POSSIBLE INDICATORS MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, OR SOME OTHER VITAL COMPONET IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. I AM SURE GM KNOWS. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
WHILE FILLING MY 2002 GMC ENVOY, I OBSERVED GAS POURING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE TANK DOWN OVER THE REAR AXLE AND NEAR THE TAILPIPE. I NOTICED THIS BECAUSE THE GAS PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF AT THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL. I CALLED GMC AND REPORTED IT. THEY WERE AT FIRST RELUCTANT TO GIVE ME THE AGENCY I COULD REPORT THIS TOO BUT AFTER SPEAKING TO A SUPERVISOR THEY FINALLY TOLD ME I COULD REPORT THE POSSIBLE DEFECT TO THE NHTSA. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK, JUST FOG AND HIGH BEAMS, TOOK TO DEALER TO FIX, SPENT $500.00 AND AFTER I PICKED IT UP, SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, WITHIN A WEEK, PLUS I RECEIVED A TICKET AND POINTS FOR DRIVING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS. TOOK BACK TO HAVE FIXED AGAIN, AND THEY TRIED CHARGING ME ANOTHER $200.00 SAYING IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE UN-RELATED. TURNED ON ENGINE, AND IT DIDN'T SOUND QUITE RIGHT, ENDED UP STALLING ABOUT 4 TIMES, ON WAY HOME, ENDED UP CALLING THEM TO HAVE CAR TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIM IT WAS NOTHING THEY DID, HOWEVER, IT STILL STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON, UNTL THIS DAY. NEVER KNOW WHEN IT COULD HAPPEN, VERY DANGEROUS, AND I AM IN SALES AND DRIVE FOR A LIVING. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2002 GMC ENVOY WITH 49,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT FROM FIRST, THEN NO REVERSE WHEN I LEFT THE DESTINATION. HAD TOWED TO DEALER. SERVICE MANAGER STATED SHE HAD A HUNCH WHAT IT WAS BUT HAD TO GET IT IN THE SHOP FIRST. SURE ENOUGH, THE SUN SHELL FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED. CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THEM TO FIX IT AT THERE EXPENSE SINCE THIS IS AN REGULAR OCCURRENCE WITH THERE TRUCKS. HAVE NOT HEARD BACK AS OF YET. SEEN MANY MANY MANY POSTS AROUND THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE DURING THE FIRST 3 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MUST BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR THE VEHICLE TO MOVE, AND THEN NORMAL ACCELERATION BEGINS AFTER DRIVING 3 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 05/02/06 WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON 07/20/06 AND DETERMINED THAT THE CLUTCH FAN THAT COOLS THE ENGINE CREATED THE NOISE BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE FOR THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHO FINALLY IDENTIFIED THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION TO PERFORM IN THE DOCUMENTED MANNER. UPDATED 08/15/06. 8JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN
LAST YEAR (2005) THE CLUTCH FAN LOCKED UP AND STAYED LOCKED UP UNTIL WE TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER. THEY SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN ON THIS AND THE PCM NEEDED TO BE RE-PROGRAMMED. THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER, WON,T SHIFT PROPERLY AND THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE. ONE MINUTE IT'S FINE AND THEN IT'S NOT. NOW ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! I NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE IT RE-PROGRAMMED. IF THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE CHIP THAT HOLDS THE CODE, AND BE DONE WITH IT. *NM
