STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, VISIBILITY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE REAR DRIVER DOOR POPPED OPEN AND WON'T CLOSE. THE FAN CLUTCH FAILED 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS WINDING REALLY HIGH AND NOT DRIVING NORMALLY. ALSO THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER REAR WENT OUT. I HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE FAILURES AS OF NOW. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY SLE WITH 42,000 MILES. CHECK 4 WDRIVE LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT BACK OFF. DEALER STATED THAT THE TCCM HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED DUE TO A BULLETIN. IT COST ME OUT OF POCKET NO WARRANTIES COVER THIS. ALSO THE FAN CLUTCHES WENT OUT BUT WAS REPLACED BY EXTENDED WARRANTIES. I'M ALSO TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE STEERING LINKS ARE WORN & SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS TOO IS AT MY COST. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 1 YEAR. THESE HAPPENED WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY WIFE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING THE REAR HATCH ON OUR 2003 ENVOY XL (80,000 MILES) AFTER REMOVING SOME ARTICLES FROM THE BACK. SHE HAD MOVED THE DOOR ABOUT 1-2 INCHES DOWNWARD USING THE MOLDED HANDLE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIFT GATE TO CLOSE THE DOOR WHEN THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED OVER HER HEAD. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT INJURED BUT WAS COVERED IN SAFETY GLASS. THE GLASS WAS NOT DAMAGED YESTERDAY WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND UNLOADED SUITCASES FROM THE REAR. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 70 DEGREES. I DID NOTICE THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS NOW ANGLED UPWARDS IN THE 'GATE RAISED' POSITION, EVEN AFTER CLOSING THE HATCH. ALSO NOTICED THE TOP, RIGHT SIDE RUBBER GROMMET ON THE STAMPED BRACKET ATTACHING THE GLASS IS VERY WORN, ALLOWING SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT. I PLAN ON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE IF POSSIBLE AND WILL HAVE THE GLASS AND ALL TOUCH POINTS REPLACED IF POSSIBLE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IF THERE IS A DESIGN INTERFERENCE ISSUE WITH THE GLASS AND THE SURROUNDING COMPONENTS THAT HAPPENS OVER TIME. THERE APPEAR TO BE NUMEROUS CASES ON THE AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS WEBSITE REGARDING ENVOY XL REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERING FOR NO APPARENT REASON (SOME MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES). I AM SURPRISED MORE COMPLAINTS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED TO NHTSA OFFICIALLY (ONLY FOUND ONE-10081011). IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE BEEN A BRAKE ENGINEER FOR 10+ YEARS AND TAKE SAFETY VERY SERIOUSLY. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I TOTALED MY 2004 GMC ENVOY ON BLACK ICE, I HIT MY NEIGHBOR PRETTY MUCH HEAD ON. MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF NOR DID MY SEAT BELT HOLD MY IN PLACE, I REPORTED THIS ACCIDENT AND DYSFUNCTION TO GM AND AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION THEY SAID THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD BE, WE BOUGHT THE ENVOY NEW THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AS WELL AS THE SEAT BELT SHOULD HAVE LOCKED ME IN PLACE, AS IT WAS I HIT THE WIND SHIELD, HAD SWELLING IN MY BRAIN, I ALSO HIT THE TOP OF THE ENVOY AND CAME DOWN AND HAVE TWO CRUSHED VERTEBRAE IN MY BACK STILL TO THIS DAY, I HIT THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THEN BROKE THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE CENTER CONSOLE WITH MY BODY, AGAIN BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF NOR DID THE SEAT BELT HOLD ME IN PLACE. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY (GM) CAN SAY EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY!*TR

MALFUNCTIONING OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS DESCRIBED BY THE DEALERSHIP. SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS INACCURATE SPEED, OTHER READINGS ON PANEL FLIP-FLOP ALSO. ADVISED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THIS WAS A NOTED DEFECT WITH GMC AND THEY HAD ALREADY STARTED REPAIRING LARGER GMC'S AND SHOULD GET AROUND TO MINE LATER IN 2008. YESTERDAY, GMC INFORMED ME OF A SPECIAL POLICY ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY FOR SIERRAS AND YUKONS (7YRS 70,00 MILES). GMC TOLD ME THEY WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENVOY'S. I ONLY HAVE 56,000 MILES ON THIS CAR (FIRST OWNER). NOW THE A/C HAS GONE OF BY ITSELF TWICE THIS MONTH AND THE PRESET STATIONS HAVE VANISHED. *TR

OPENING THE HATCH ON MY 2005 ENVOY XLS APPROX 1 TIME PER DAY CAUSED THE PISTONS AND THE BALLASTS TO GO BAD. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK DOOR HANDLES AND INTERIOR MECHANISMS FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, WITH REPEATED TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. STILL NOT FIXED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE CONTACT COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW FAST HE WAS TRAVELING. ALL THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
THIS PAST WEEKEND 08-23-08 AND 08-24-08. THE ANALOG DASH CLUSTER WENT OUT ON MY 2004 GMS ENVOY. WHEN IT WENT OUT I MEAN COMPLETELY OUT NO TACH, SPEED OR AND OR THE GAUGES WORKED. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY. IT WAS CHECKED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE DASH CLUSTER WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE REASON BEING IF IT WHERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING LIKE IT DID TO ME. IT COULD BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN AN ACCIDENT. NOT KNOW HOW FAST ONE IS GOING CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS A NEW DASH CLUSTER ON ORDER WHICH SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY WEDNESDAY 08-27-08. *TR

VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 2005 ENVOY THAT I PURCHASED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO FROM A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. ON THE DAY OF THE FAILURE, I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I FOUND THAT THE BACK TRUNK HATCH HAD SOMEHOW OPENED ON ITS OWN, CAUSING IT TO SEPARATE FROM THE GLASS. THE TRUNK HATCH WAS BROKEN IN SUCH A MANNER THAT IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ON BY ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR OBJECT. AFTER NOTICING THIS DEFECT, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. THE AUTOMOBILE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY WHERE THEY FILED A CLAIM WITH THE WARRANTY COMPANY. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DECIDED THAT THE STRUTS WERE NOT THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT AND WORKED PROPERLY AND COULD NOT HYPOTHESIS ON WHY THIS FAILURE HAD OCCURRED. HE REPORTED THIS TO THE WARRANTY COMPANY WHO THUS DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT COVER THE GLASS ON THE AUTOMOBILE. I WAS DISPLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME AND CONTACTED BOTH THE WARRANTY COMPANY AND THE GMC HEADQUARTERS MYSELF, HOPING THAT THIS INITIATIVE WOULD RESOLVE THE SITUATION. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE HATCH TO OPEN ON ITS OWN. THE COMPANY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE STRUTS AND ARE REQUIRING ME TO PAY FOR THE GLASS REPLACEMENT AND LABOR FOR SOMETHING THAT I NEITHER CAUSED NOR COULD HAVE PREVENTED. *TR
