ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
STARTED TO HEAR LOUD RATTLE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE, THOUGHT MAYBE A HEAT SHIELD AROUND MUFFLER WENT BAD. TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY STATED "NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED, THOUGH YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT HAS COME LOOSE IN THE RESONATOR". AROUND $100 TO GET THE RESONATOR REMOVED, HAVE NOT QUOTED A NEW ONE FROM THE DEALER YET. I WOULD IMAGINE THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL FAIL JUST AS THE ORIGINAL PART HAS DONE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IN MAY 2009. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF OF DRIVING IT, ALL DASH GAUGES STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, AND THE WARNING BELL WOULD GO OFF, AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. SHORTLY AFTER THAT BEGAN, ALL GAUGES QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER EVERY OTHER TIME I WOULD START THE VEHICLE. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, THEY REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH AND HALF WAY HOME FROM THE REPAIR SHOP, IT ALL STARTED OVER AGAIN. BEEN DOING IT EVER SINCE. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:VALVE
ONE MORNING, I HAD A FLAT TIRE, THE TIRE WAS TAKEN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND TAKEN TO SEARS AUTO CENTER. VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED NO PUNCTURES OR REASON FOR THE FLAT. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED THE VALVE STEM HAD A LARGE CRACK CLOSE TO THE TIRE ITSELF. NEEDED TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEM. BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME, AND LEFT IN GARAGE FOR THE WEEKEND, WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GARAGE ON MONDAY MORNING, THOUGHT THE STEERING WAS NOT AS USUAL. STOPPED THE VEHICLE, AND SAW ANOTHER TIRE WAS GOING FLAT. THEN CHECKED THE OTHER THREE TIRES, AND SAW ALL THREE VALVE STEMS HAD CRACKS IN THEM. VEHICLE TAKEN TO FIRESTONE AUTO CARE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE VALVE STEMS. THE TIRES HAD BEEN REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER, 2007. ALTHOUGH THE REPAIR SHOPS DID NOT SAY WHY VALVE STEMS WOULD HAVE FAILED IN SUCH A SHORT TIME OF EACH OTHER, I WONDER IF THIS MAY BE PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL DONE FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM DILL AIR CONTROLS. ALTHOUGH THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED AFTER THE DATE INDICATED COULD THERE STILL BE DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS WHICH WERE STILL BEING USED ON TIRES? SEARS ONLY SAID THE VALVE STEM WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER ON 2004 GMC ENVOY SLT QUIT WORKING. I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES, HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR IT. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF IT BUT CONTINUE TO IGNORE COMPLAINTS. KNOWING YOUR SPEED IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WHEN DRIVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
IT SEEMS THAT MY VEHICLES FUEL SENDING UNIT IS DEFECTIVE AFTER ONLY 47,000 MILES AND THROUGH FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS LINE OF VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL COST OVER 800.00 TO REPAIR THIS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS MOST OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE QUITE UPSET THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART TO BE REPLACED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE LEFT FRONT ABS ACTIVATED. IT WAS AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE AND HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD THE SENSATION THAT THE VEHICLES WAS INSTANTLY PULLING TO THE LEFT WITH THE ABS DRAGGING THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO CLEARED 5 CODES RELATED TO THE FRONT ABS SENSORS AND BRAKING SYSTEM. I'M A MEMBER OF AN ONLINE FORUM CALLED WWW.TRAILVOY.COM I SEARCHED THE FORUMS FOR "BRAKE SOFTWARE" AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS THAT REFLECT MY EXPERIENCE. THE DEALER, DANIELS CHEVYLAND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HEARD THIS COMPLAINT, AS WELL. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS ON GRAVEL, WET OR ICY ROADS THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO HAVE THE BRAKE COMPUTER FIRMWARE UPGRADED IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. THEY WERE NICE ENOUGH TO SAY THAT THEY WILL DISCOUNT THE COST OF THE FIRMWARE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
2005 GMC SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. STOPS WORKING AND GETS STUCK ON THE 120MILES POINT EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND NOT JUST DRIVING. OCCURS AFTER ABOUT A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND, AFTER ONLINE AND OFFLINE RESEARCH, IT TURNS OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THESE PROBLEM WITH SOME GMC TRUCKS, ESPECIALLY THE GMC ENVOYS MODELS. AND GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING OR REFUSING TO FIX IT SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY RECALLS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE EVEN LAWSUITS IN SOME STATES ABOUT THIS. MY TRUCK IS NOT EVEN OLD ONLY 52,000 MILES AND I DON'T DRIVE A LOT JUST TO WORK AND HOME. *TR
