TURNING SIGNAL LIGHTS (LEFT OR RIGHT) WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY AFTER THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS WERE IN USE; INSTEAD BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURNING LIGHTS WILL FLASH AT THE SAME TIME. IT CAN BE REPRODUCED. NO REPAIR ACTION TAKEN YET. 3. DIFFICULT TURNING AT A HARD TURN WITH 4-WHEEL-DRIVE IS ON: IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A HARD TURN WHEN THE 4-WHELL-DRIVE IS ON. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. NO REPAIR ACTION TAKEN YET.*AK

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. I HAVE HAD 3 INCIDENTS WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE SINCE DECEMBER 2003. THE NEWEST FEATURE WITH THESE VEHICLES, AS WITH THE CHEVEROLET TRAILBLAZERS IS THE AUTOMATIC 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM ALLOWS THE DRIVER TO PUT THIS LEVER IN AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE AND WILL SWITCH TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN ROAD CONDITIONS ARE A NECESSITY FOR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. MY VEHICLE'S 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM BROKE IN DECEMBER 2003. IT WAS REPORTED TO ME FROM ALASKA SALES AND SERVICE WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. THEN THERE WAS A LEAK OF SOME FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE NOTICED APRIL THROUGH MAY 2004. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP AT ALASKA SALES/SERVICE AGAIN AND A TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE. COME WINTER IN 2004, MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE NEEDED TO BE USED AGAIN DUE TO WEATHER IN ALASKA. MY VEHICLE WAS IN FOR A MAJOR CHECKUP ON DEC 14TH, 2004 AND I WAS TOLD THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. I HAD THE VEHICLE BACK IN THE SHOP WITHIN 2 WEEKS FOR A LOUD NOISE IN THE 4 WHEEL SYSTEM. AGAIN THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP AND ANOTHER TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED. MY MAJOR COMPLAINT TO THE FEDERAL CONSUMER COMPLAINT SYSTEM IS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS A 2002, AND THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM MORE THAN 3 TIMES UNDER THE 3 YEAR NEW CAR WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT THE GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION SHOULD BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK OR PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE FOR ME DUE TO THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING A LAWYER IN ALASKA THAT WILL SUPPORT THE AUTOMOBILE LEMON LAW. *JB
