ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT NEW. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MOST STARTED OUT OF WARRANTY. ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING, HAD TO REPLACE. RADIO SYSTEM COMES AND GOES, MOST OF THE TIME NOT WORKING. A/C HEATING BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. DIFFERENT COMPONENT LIKE WINDOW, WIPERS, DOOR LOCK JUST OPERATE ON THEY OWN THEN LOCK UP. ISSUES WITH IGNITION. CAN'T REMOVE THE KEY. NOW REAR WINDOW GOES DOWN ON ITS OWN. VEHICLE WON'T START, REAR TAIL GATE WON'T OPERATE. ONLY WAY TO START IS BY JUMPING BUT ONCE TURNED OFF THE BATTERY DRAINS SO CAN'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE YOU'RE U NEVER KNOW IF IT GOING TO START AGAIN. *TR

COLONIAL AUTO CENTER GMC DEALER (CHARLOTTESVILLE) IS ADVISING THERE IS NO RECALL...THEY WERE CALLED ON 01/21/15. ALSO, A "SERVICE STIBI CONTROL" MESSAGE ALWAYS APPEARS. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED BY A COUPLE DEALERS. COLONIAL CHANGES A BOOSTER AND MESSAGE CONTINUES TO COME ON... *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST NOTICED REDUCED RADIO VOLUME AS IF SPEAKERS WERE NOT COMPLETELY CONNECTED. THEY RADIO WOULD WORK CORRECTLY FROM TIME TO TIME. SERVICE DEPT SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE DASH SYSTEM. THEN NOTICED REAR DOOR/TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN AS A DOOR, NEXT THE TAILGATE STOPPED FUNCTIONING ALL TOGETHER; THIS MAKES THE REAR PART OF THE XUV USELESS AND DANGEROUS. DEALER STATED THAT IS ELECTRONIC AND THAT ALL TAILGATE/REAR DOOR HINGES RUSTED DUE TO WATER COMING IN WHERE REAR WINDOW IS/ ESTIMATE IS OVER $650.00 AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN!!! NEXT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK EXCEPT BY MANUAL UNLOCKING FROM INSIDE AND SOMETIME THE KEY WILL NOT UNLOCK TO DRIVER'S DOOR. KEY FOB WILL NOT WORK ON DRIVER'S DOOR, TAILGATE/REAR DOOR; HOWEVER, KEY FOB WORKS ON PASSENGER DOORS. DEALER STATED THAT THE TAILGATE/REAR DOOR ISSUE HAS A HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING SO WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL???? WHEN WILL GMC MAKE THIS RIGHT??? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING GARAGE SO I KNOW THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING WHEN WE WENT IN. AS WE WERE LEAVING APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS LATER, THE LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL. HAD TO RUN HIGH BEAMS; HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE LOOK AT THE FUSES, REPLACED BULBS, ETC. BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER JUST BEFORE I WAS TAKING IT TO A DEALER TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM THE LOW BEAMS BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED ONLY THIS TIME I HEARD A FAINT NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SMELLED A BURNING (SEEMED ELECTRICAL) AROMA FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I REALIZED THE LOW-BEAM LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AGAIN. AFTER A WEEK OR SO THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AGAIN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT AFTER A VERY SIMPLE WEB SEARCH A VAST NUMBER OF THESE GMC ENVOY VEHICLES. WHEN TRAVELING NORMALLY THE SPEEDOMETER DECIDES TO EITHER DROP ITS SPEED BY 20-30 MPH OR RAISE IT EVEN AS HIGH AS 120MPH. WHEN TRAVELING IN THE CITY OR HWY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT ZONES VARY RATHER FREQUENTLY AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER NATURALLY REACTS TO THE NEEDLE UNAWARE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTUALLY FAULTY. I HAVE THEREFORE BRAKED HARD TO REDUCE MY SPEED WHEN IN FACT I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. THAT CAN RESULT IN AN INSTANT TO A REAR END CRASH BASED ON NORMAL REACTIONS. GM OBVIOUSLY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE ON LINE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND INDEED THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR SIMILAR GM TRUCKS. THEY HOWEVER CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE ENVOY PROBLEM AND LEAVE THE OWNERS "LIVE OR DIE" WITH THE PROBLEM. HOW THIS CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A HIGH PRIORITY SAFETY ISSUE IS A MYSTERY TO ME. EVEN 10 MPH VARIATIONS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MEAN POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS FROM BUMPER HUGGING DRIVERS BEHIND. THIS ISSUE IS MORE COMMON IN THE EXTREME COLD WEATHER AND THUS I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THERE IS A DEFINITE TESTING VALIDATION PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLES FUEL GAUGE WILL CONSTANTLY READ ANYWHERE FROM E TO FULL, ESPECIALLY AFTER FILL UP. NEVER KNOW EXACTLY WHAT AMOUNT OF FUEL IS IN VEHICLE. HAVE TO KEEP TRIP METER CLEARED AT EACH FILL UP TO MAKE AN ACCURATE GUESS AT HOW MANY MILES I HAVE LEFT IN THE TANK. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON AT SAME TIME AS THE GAUGE FLUCTUATES CONSTANTLY. *TR
