ENGINE
WAS DRIVING AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LOSS CAME ON. THE CAR BASICALLY STARTING SHUTTING DOWN BUT I WAS ABLE TO COAST OUT OF TRAFFIC BEFORE IT STOPPED COMPLETELY. TURN IT OFF, BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES, UNTIL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF THEN DROVE IT HOME. I'VE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY TWICE AND THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE SENSOR LOCATED BEHIND IT. WENT FROM HAPPENING SPORADICALLY TO ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. CAN'T DRIVE 3 MILES WITHOUT REDUCED ENGINE POWER LOSS COMING ON. NOW THERE'S ABOUT 155,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT'S HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT'S SITTING ON THE DRIVEWAY. I'M AWARE OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE FROM READING COMMENTS ONLINE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM HAS NOT DONE A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE. PERHAPS IT CAN'T BE FIXED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT NEW. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MOST STARTED OUT OF WARRANTY. ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING, HAD TO REPLACE.

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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE MARCH OF 2014 FROM SUNSET MOTORS IN COEUR D ALENE, ID. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR DIED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACED; WHICH THEY REPLACED. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AND FILLED MY GAS TANK WHEN I BEGAN TO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE GAS LEAKING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE NECK OF THE GAS TANK WAS CRACKED AND THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. I LEFT WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER SUNSET MOTORS STATED THE REPAIR WAS DONE ON THE GAS TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE CODE WAS READING P0455 LARGE EVAP LEAK. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE GAS CAP AS RECOMMENDED BY AUTOZONE WHERE I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE CODE READ. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON OVER THE COURSE OF MONTHS. I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO AAMCO AFTER MY VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING WHILE IN IDLE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CRACK IN THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK WAS STILL APPARENT AND FUEL TANK NEEDED REPLACED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND GM HAD OFFERED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY WHEN RESEARCH INTO SAFETY WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY WHICH WAS ACCEPTED AND NO RECALL WAS DONE. GM HAS STATED THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I FEEL THAT THE LEAK IN THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AS THERE IS NO KNOWN REASON FOR A CRACK TO HAPPEN IN THE FUEL TANK. LIKE I SAID PREVIOUSLY I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND FEAR THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE WITH MYSELF AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL I AM ABLE TO AFFORD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED IN TO AND THE SAFETY AROUND THE DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT USED TO EITHER STAY ON 0 OR GO UP TO 90. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES FOR SPEEDING BECAUSE I CAN NOT DETERMINE MY SPEED. SINCE THAT BROKE, I HAVE ALSO LOST ALL OF MY OTHER INSTRUMENTS, INCLUDING GAS... I RAN OUT OF GAS ON ROUTE 495 IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING ABOUT 60 MPG!!! THANKFULLY I DID NOT PANIC AND WAS ABLE TO GET MY FLASHERS ON AND MOVE INTO THE SLOW LANE AND THEN TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. I HAVE HAD MANY PEOPLE TELL ME THIS IS A RECALL ON THE GMC PICK UP TRUCKS BUT NOT THE ENVOY!!!! DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET KILLED IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED? *TR
