ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING MY ENVOY HOME FROM WORK THE WINDOW STARTING GOING DOWN BY ITSELF AND THEN IT MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE LIKE A GRINDING NOISE. THEN THE WINDOW STARTED GOING BACK AND SMOKE STARTED PORING OUT OF THE DOOR LOCKS AND BY THE VENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE DOOR. SMOKE WAS POURING OUT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I GOT OUT IT SMELLED LIKED BURNT RUBBER. IT CONTINUED TO SMOKE FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. AND THEN IT STOPPED. THE SMELL IS STILL IN MY CAR BUT I HAVE NO ELECTRIC FUNCTIONS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. MY WINDOWS DO NOT WORK, THE OUTSIDE MIRROR DOES NOT WORK, THE SEAT CONTROLS DO NOT WORK, THE HEATED SEATED SEATS DO NOT WORK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
FIRST MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED REGISTERING A SPEED FOLLOWED BY THE GAS GAUGE GOING OUT. MY RADIO GOES IN AND OUT (MORE OUT THAN IN), MY SUNROOF STARTED OPENING AND CLOSING ON ITS OWN WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF, AND THE ROOF LEAKS AROUND WHERE THE VISOR IS WHEN IT RAINS HARD. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS ADDRESSED BY SOMEONE AT GMC. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS BEGUN READING INCORRECTLY. THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN I FILL IT WITH FUEL. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE TANK APPEARS TO RETURN TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS A NORMAL READING. THEN, ON IT'S OWN, IT WILL FLUXUATE DROPPING TO EMPTY, TRIGGERING THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND ALARM AND THEN RETURN TO IT'S PREVIOUS POSITION. AT THIS TIME, I CANNOT TRUST THE GAUGE TO BE ACCURATE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENSOR ON MY VEHICLE SWINGS WILDLY FROM EMPTY TO FULL EVEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK HAS JUST BEEN FILLED. THIS RESULTS IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO CONSTANTLY BE ON. I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR DUE TO THE FAULTY SENSOR. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR YEARS. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST ONLY IF I TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER AND THAT MY PORTION OF THE COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $500 - $600 DOLLARS. THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE COST IF I TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN BY GM FOR YEARS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A COMPLETE RECALL TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PART(S). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE WENT TO FULL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT STARTED MOVING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND NOW GOES TO EMPTY UPON FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. THE MORE YOU DRIVE THE MORE FUEL IT READS. THE GAUGE FLOATS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND VEHICLE HAS NOW RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. GM WAS CONTACTED AND EXPLAINED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND AT FIRST OFFERED NO HELP. UPON TALKING TO SEVERAL 'MANAGERS' THEY AGREED TO COVER 50% BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE COST IS STILL OVER $250 FOR THE REPAIR. WHY DOES THE OWNER HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF A KNOWN PROBLEM PART? WHY IS GM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? *TR

VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
AT APPROXIMATELY 8 AM FRIDAY JANUARY 27TH I OPENED THE BACK HATCH OF MY GMC ENVOY. APPROXIMATELY 4-6 INCHES PULLING IT DOWN TO SHUT IT THE ENTIRE WINDOW SHATTERED ALL OVER ME, THE GROUND AND INSIDE MY CAR. I CALLED MY INSURANCE, PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE IT REPLACED, IT WAS FIXED AND THEN TODAY JANUARY 28TH, ONE DAY AFTER HAVING IT REPLACED I WAS CLOSING THE DOOR AGAIN AND AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME POINT IN CLOSING IT COMPLETELY SHATTERED AGAIN. THIS IS TWICE IN TWO DAYS. I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME IT PROBABLY HAD TO DO WITH THE WEATHER BUT THE WEATHER WAS WARMER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY AND SEVERAL FORUMS HAVE SHOWN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VEHICLE ISSUE VS A WEATHER ISSUE. *TR
