SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE ATTEMPTING A FULL STOP AFTER PULLING INTO PARKING LOT, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, ABS CAME ON AND PREVENTED ENVOY FROM REACHING FULL STOP. HAD TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND USE E-BRAKE. OCCURRED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD TAKE FOR SERVICE. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED ISSUE WITH ABS SENSORS, ALTHOUGH SENSORS DID NOT REPORT AS FAULTY. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS WAS A COMMON GM FAILURE FROM 02-08 IN TRUCKS IN AREAS WHERE SALT/SNOW IS PREVALENT. REMEDY WAS DISABLE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS, CANT AFFORD TO REPLACE FRONT BEARINGS AND REAR SENSORS. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, AND ONLY WHEN ATTEMPTING STOP FROM LOW INITIAL SPEEDS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I DON'T KNOW IF MY VEHICLE WILL START. I PUT THE KEY IN AND SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT UP AND OTHER TIMES, I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING AND TURNING AND WAIT UNTIL IT WILL CATCH ON. THERE WERE TIMES WHERE I HAD WAIT UP TO AN HOUR FOR MY CAR TO START. I NEVER KNOW WHEN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN INDICATOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL DECIDE TO START. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN IT WOULD WORK FINE FOR ONE MONTH WITH NO INCIDENT, THEN IT WILL NOT SWITCH ON. SEEMS LIKE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP, THAT IS WHEN THE CAR DECIDES TO ACT RIGHT. AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAC LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I NEED A RACK AND PINION. I REALLY THINK THE IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD BE RECALLED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE SERVICING MY VEHICLE AT AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP, I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECENT RECALL REGARDING HEADLAMPS WHICH GET HOT AND CAN FAIL. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 8 MONTHS SINCE THAT RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND YET THERE REMAINS NO IDENTIFIABLE REMEDY OR SOLUTION AS TO HOW THEY WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND REPAIR / REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS.. ENTITLED TO SAFE VEHICLES, I AM UNSURE AS TO HOW OR WHY GM WOULD BELIEVE THAT 8 MONTHS TO NOT EVEN HAVE ANNOUNCED A SOLUTION IS AN ABSURDITY. AT THIS POINT, THE PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER HAS HAD TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AS A CONSUMER. I AM UNDER THE BELIEF THAT THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLE, THEY ARE GOING LET THE VEHICLES AGE A FEW MORE YEARS AND HOPE BY THAT TIME, ADDITIONAL VEHICLES REQUIRING REPAIR WILL NO LONGER BE ON THE ROAD AND THE ISSUE WILL MAGICALLY GO AWAY. AS OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, I AM ENTITLED TO THE REMEDY AS PROMISED UNDER RECALL GM 14291, AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR MANUFACTURERS TO SIT ON OPEN RECALLS FOR VEHICLES CURRENTLY ON OUR ROADWAYS WHICH HAVE BEEN ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HAVING A SAFETY DEFECT IN NEED OF DEFECT REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED SMELLING GAS, STARTED DRIPPING FUEL. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE FUEL LINES COMING OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AT THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. DRIPPING GAS COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. LEARNED THERE WAS A TSB ON THIS AND EXTENDED WARRENTY DUE TO CORROSION OF FUEL LINES. THE WARRENTY WAS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150K. THE VEHICLE IS NOW 11 YEARS OLD. I HAVE LIVED IN THE SAME HOUSE FOR EIGHT YEARS AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL OR TSB NOTICE FROM GMC. OVER 800$ FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP AND TO DROP GAS TANK FOR REPAIRS. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 IT ONLY HAS 67K ON IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
DUE TO A BRAKE PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE PROBLEM (OPEN/SHORTED CIRCUIT), THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES AT ABOUT 8 MPH IN LOW SPEED STOPPING SITUATIONS ON WET AND DRY DRIVING SURFACES CAUSING TEMPORARY ENGINE STALLING AND POWER STEERING CONTROL LOSS AND LENGTHENED DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.
