STRUCTURE:BODY
LEFT REAR DOOR FLEW OPEN GOING AROUND CORNER. COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO LATCH. REMOVED LATCH ASSEMBLY AND ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN. TOO MUCH RUST AND CORROSION. SOME OF THE DEBRIS LOOKS LIKE IT CAME FROM THE STRIKER. HAD SAME TROUBLE WITH RIGHT REAR DOOR AT 80,000 MILES. DISASSEMBLED AND CLEANED. WORKS FOR A WHILE. SOME ONE GOING TO FALL OUT OF ONE OF THESE SUV'S. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL LEAK COMING FROM TOP OF GAS TANK. I SUSPECT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. SEVERE RUST AND LIMITED VISIBILITY PREVENTED ME FROM IDENTIFYING 100 PERCENT. TALKED TO GM, THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM BUT SINCE IT HAPPENED 14,000 MILES BEYOND THEIR EXTENDED SPECIAL WARRANTY FOR THIS, THEY WILL DO NOTHING. BAD DESIGN IS A BAD DESIGN REGARDLESS OF MILES OR YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS HAVING A LEAK THIS BAD. WILL FIX MYSELF WHEN I COME UP WITH THE MONEY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE HAD A UNIQUE PROBLEM, AFTER RECENTLY BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY GMC + THEIR DEALER, I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND REALIZE THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. THE ELECTRONIC GAS GAUGE + NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING AT 90 000. I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THEY WOULD PAY FOR HALF THE REPAIR TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED ON 10/20/11.WAITED ALL DAY AND WATCHED THE MECHANIC TEST DRIVE MY VEHICLE,I WAS WALKED TO THE CASHIER + PAID 146.14, PULLED OUT OF PARKING LOT AND THOUGHT THEY FORGOT TO RESET THE COMPUTER AS GAUGE + DASH WERE NOT WORKING.I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED AND WAS TOLD THE SENSOR WAS WORKING BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLUSTER PANEL + THAT WOULD COST 900.00.THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THE DEFECT AND RECALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED. I'VE RUN OUT OF GAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SMALL CHILDREN AT NIGHT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 GMC ENVOY FUEL LEVEL GAUGE HAS STARTED READING EMPTY AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. I HAVE BEEN USING MY ODOMETER TO KEEP TRACK OF MILES SINCE LAST FILL UP. IT HAS BEEN GIVING SPORADIC READINGS AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED. THIS COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I WAS TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC OR ON SOME LONELY ROAD IN THE COUNTRY AT NIGHT. GM IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION BUT IS ONLY OFFERING TO PAY 50% AT THEIR EXHORBINATE SERVICE RATES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS REGULARLY BLINK IN AND OUT ON MY 2005 ENVOY. THERE HAVE EVEN BEEN TIMES WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON FOR NO KNOWN REASON. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS. SCARY STUFF! PLUS, I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. ONE FELLOW SAID HE TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. RECALL - AND NOW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY HUSBAND WAS LAID OFF FROM HIS JOB AND WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE 1/2 THAT GM IS OFFERING TO FIX THE THING IN THEIR RECALL. IF THEY KNEW IT WAS A FAILURE OF THEIR EQUIPMENT WHY ARE THEY NOT PAYING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT? *TR

THE FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF THE PORT TO CHECK ENGINE CODE DOES NOT WORK. THE INSIDE COURTESY LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ONE BACK UP LIGHT WILL NOT WORK THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT GETS NO POWER AND WON'T WORK. ONLY 3 OF THE 5 SPEED SETTINGS ON THE FAN WORK. GMC DEALER SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING, AND THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THESE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER I AM ABLE TO FIND THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN VARIOUS CONSUMER SITES. GMC WON'T EVEN RETURN MY CALLS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE LOW ENGINE POWER WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V289000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN OR ELECTRICAL GHOST OF SOME SORTS. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER 4 TIME WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THAT WAS THE DEALERS CURE. THEN WHEN I PURCHASED IT I REPLACED THE BATTERY.THEN IT WAS REPLACED FOR THE 6TH TIME 18 MONTHS LATER. THE REAR WINDOW ON THE TAIL GATE KEPT GOING DOWN ON IT'S OWN UNTIL THE MOTOR FLEW APART. THE WINDOW BEHIND THE REAR SEAT WENT DOWN ON IT'S OWN AND DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE RETRACTABLE BACK ROOF WILL NOT ENGAGE DUE TO THE REAR WINDOW. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE AC WILL COME ON BY ITSELF ALSO THE RADIO, THE SEAT HEATERS. NOW WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT ON THEIR OWN, LUCKILY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS STILL WORK, BUT THAT'S NOT HELPING THE POOR SOUL IN FRONT OF ME. GM SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY OF THIS BUT I'M ALMOST TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OR LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR ANYTIME FOR THAT MATTER. NOT TO MENTION ANY KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I MAY OF OVERLOOKED. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY XL HAS SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE BATTERY AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES ARE READING OFF THE SCALE PAST THEIR MAXIMUM READINGS. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT AND THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY WITH MULTIPLE STOPLIGHTS. AS A LIGHT TURNED RED, I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ACCOMPANIED BY THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT AND DISCOVERED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING IN THE VICINITY OF THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY CORRODED AND THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN THE STEEL BRAKE LINE THAT GOES TO THE REAR BRAKES. ALL OF THE STEEL LINES ON THIS VEHICLE (BRAKES, FUEL LINES) ARE SEVERELY CORRODED ALONG WITH THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THIS VEHICLE. I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW AND IT'S BEEN LOCATED IN DELAWARE WHICH GENERALLY HAS VERY LITTLE SNOW (AND THEREFORE SALT) DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. THIS BRAKE FAILURE AND THE CONDITION OF THE FUEL LINES ARE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND WARRANTS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. HAD I BEEN GOING SLIGHTLY FASTER OR HAD BEEN TOWING, I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE OR LOSS OF LIFE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW WITHOUT REPLACING ALL OF THESE LINES--THE CONDITION OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THIS VEHICLE IS INEXCUSABLE AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE HAS FAILED. IT READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, AND THE PLACES WILLING TO REPAIR IT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. THE DEALERSHIP IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE IN THIS AREA. I UNDERSTAND MANY, IF NOT MOST ENVOYS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CAN BE DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY HERE IN FAIRBANKS, ALASKA, WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS EASILY -40 AND SOMETIMES COLDER. THAT IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR A FUEL SITUATION OCCURRING IS SOMETHING THAT A PERSON IS GOING TO EASILY NAVIGATE DURING AT LEAST EIGHT MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. *TR
