SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES ON THE 2003 ENVOY. *MR THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED THE BRAKE DID NOT HOLD AND THE VEHICLE HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF HIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE CONTROL MODULE BUT IT COULD NOT BE REPROGRAMMED. THE TECHNICIAN WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WAS A DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY OPERATED WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. *SCC *NLM

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
WIND NOISE COMING THROUGH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS. MOLDING WAS REPLACED AND NOISE WASN'T REDUCED. DEALER STATED, GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT THE MIRRORS ARE CAUSING WIND TO BE REDIRECTED TO THE WINDOW. THEREFORE WIND IS COMING THROUGH WHERE THE GLASS GOES INSIDE THE DOOR. NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS CAR, CAN'T EVEN DRIVE WITH THE RADIO TURNED DOWN. ALSO THE LOW-PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT WAS REPLACED, AFTER A HALF-POUND OF FREON WAS REQUIRED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES!!! *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
FEBRUARY 2003 ENGINE FAILED AT ONLY 8,000 MILES. DRIVING AT 45 MILES AN HOUR, WITHOUT WARNING ENGINE STOP AND CAR SHUT DOWN. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE ENGINE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS SINCE AND NOTHING CORRECTED. DASH BOARD LIGHTS/COMPUTER DOES NOT WORK AT TIMES. VERY LOUD WIND NOISE WHILE DRIVING. NOW LOUD NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE AND DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX 100%. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER FELT THIS UNSAFE IN ANY VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER GAVE AND EXTENSION ON THE REPLACED ENGINE BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFER. I HAVE CONTACTED MANUFACTURER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS, YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN OR GO ANY FURTHER THAN CLERK WORKING ON YOUR CASE. EVEN IF YOU MAIL IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE CLERK, YOUR COMPLAINT WILL ONLY GO AS FAR AS THAT CLERK ASSIGNED TO YOUR CASE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2002 ENVOY EXHIBITS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS MY PREVIOUS GMC JIMMY. IT HAS A HESITATION ON ACCELERATION THAT FAILS TO SHIFT FROM 1-2 PROPERLY. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD AND ONLY FOR A MILE OR TWO. HOWEVER , IT CAUSES SEVERE LOSS OF POWER AND ACCELERATION CAPABILITY. OBVIOUSLY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THERE IS A SOLUTION. IT ALWAYS WORKS BY THE TIME IT GETS TO THE DEALER, OF COURSE. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES ON IT THE CHECK FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. WHE HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. I ASKED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT AS LONG AS IT WAS RUNNING FINE THE WOULD PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AT MY 3,000 MILE CHECKUP. A FEW WEEKS LATER I STARTED HEARING A RUBBING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD SWICHED IT FROM 2 WD TO 4WD HIGH AND THE NOISE WAS GONE. IT WAS NOT. THE NEXT DAY I SWITCHED IT INTO AWD AND THERE WAS NO NOISE. THAT AFTERNOON THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP ON ME WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD US THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTAL WAS LITTERALY FALLING APART AND HAVE NOW SAID THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE. THE MILAGE ON OUR ENVOY IS 1263. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM NOT HAPPY. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE SO I WOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH. *AK
