POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
OUR ENVOY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN OUR ENVOY WOULD NOT GO PAST SECOND GEAR. WE TOOK TO GMC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY STATED THAT THE UPPER COOLANT LINE HAD BEEN TOUCHING CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CAUSED ALL FLUID TO LEAK OUT CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL . WE SAW NO FLUIDS IN DRIVEWAY OR SMELLED ANY STRANGE ODORS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:FOG LIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:CONCEALMENT DEVICES
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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
WHEN THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE AIR, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL CAST A BEAM OF LIGHT STRAIGHT UP IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON HIGH. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS RAIN, SNOW OR FOG, IT IS ENOUGH OF A HAZARD TO CAUSE YOU TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. THEN, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE ON LOW BEAM AND THIS CAN ALSO BE A HAZARD DUE TO THE OVERRUNNING OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THIS 2004 GMC ENVOY XL HAS DONE THIS SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE CALLED GMC AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I LIKE THIS VEHICLE, I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT A POTENTIAL BAD ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
FOR I HAVE A 2002 GMC ENVOY THAT IS HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS AND THE ANSWER THAT I WAS GETTING FROM THE DEALER WAS THAT MY BRAKES WERE LOW, WELL I CHANGED THEM AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE, FOR AT TIMES WHEN HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKE THE PEDAL WILL STOP AND THEN DROP ABOUT AN EIGHT OF AN INCH ( AS IF THERE IS AIR IN THE LINES) AND I DON'T KNOW IF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE THOUGHT OF AS DANGEROUS, BUT I HAVE THEM TOO. *JB

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSED BY IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES. IN APRIL 2004 AT 15,000 MILES AND AGAIN IN APRIL 2005 AT 33,000 MILES, THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2003 ENVOY XL FAILED. THE SYMPTOMS IN EACH CASE WERE ABS/BRAKE/TRACTION LIGHTS STAYING ON, NO HVAC FAN, AND NO CRUISE CONTROL. THE SYMPTOMS OCCURRED ONCE EVERY DOZEN STARTS, AND FINALLY REACHED A HARD FAIL.*AK IN EACH CASE, THE DEALER MECHANIC IDENTIFIED CODES SET FOR MULTIPLE SYSTEMS AND REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. WITH THE MOST RECENT FAILURE, THE MECHANIC COMMENTED THAT THEY REPLACE QUITE A FEW OF THESE SWITCHES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
AFTER NUMEROUS RECALLS ON MY 2002 ENVOY I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE DASH LIT UP, HORN, RADIO, ALARM ALL WORKED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I COULD MOVE GEAR SHIFT FROM P TO N AND IT STILL WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS TOLD GMC ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DOESNT APPLY IF YOU HAVE AAA. DEALER SAID (ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER CODES) THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FAULTY INGITION SWITCH. THEY REPLACED IT BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW THE DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO COMUPTER CODES THIS TIME SO THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 10 DAYS NOW. EVERY TIME THE DEALER TURNS THE KEY IT STARTS UP WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC ON A DAILY BASIS TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY PLAN ON DOING. I BOUGHT IT NEW, AND IT ONLY HAS 18,400 MILES ON IT. I'M SUPPOSED TO HEAR FROM GMC TODAY ON WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT A YEAR AND AFTER I RESTARTED IT, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF A LOWER GEAR AND THE ENGINE WAS VERY LOUD. I HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS MACHINED AT 12000 MILES BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE PULSING HARD AND THE ROTORS WERE PITTED. SO MUCH FOR BUYING A NEW VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE DEPENDABLE! I'M MAKING PAYMENTS FOR A VEHICLE THAT I DONT HAVE! *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENVOY NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, SOUNDS LIKE IT IS DRAGGING, HAD IT CHECKED OUT, THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. NOW WHEN THE DIFFICULTY STARTS THE ABS LIGHT, THE BRAKE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ALONG WITH THE 4WD LIGHT ALL COME ON, THE BLOWERS DO NOT FUNCTION WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, NOR DOES THE AIR CONDITIONING AND OR CRUISE CONTROL. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS ACTIVE, INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD 43,000 MILES, IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THEN A PI REPORT SUDDENLY CAME OUT SO WE WILL SEE IF I END UP PAYING. THEY DID TELL ME HOWEVER THAT THEY HAVE A TRAIL BLAZER IN WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND IT TOOK THEM 8 DAYS TO FIGURE IT OUT AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE GETTING A LOANER SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES.
