2005 GMC Envoy

WHEN BACKING THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE A LOCAL RESTAURANT, DRIVER STRUCK VEHICLE BEHIND HER. THIS HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THAT IT WAS UNKNOWN TO THE DRIVER HOW THE VEHICLE TRAVELED SO QUICKLY THAT DRIVER HAD NOT EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID STRIKING THE OTHER VEHICLE. DRIVER PLACED VEHICLE IN DRIVE TO PULL OVER TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE. WHEN PLACED INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE DESPITE THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BRICK RESTAURANT. DAMAGE WAS ALSO DONE TO THE INTERIOR BATHROOM OF THE FACILITY AND THE BUSINESS HAD TO CLOSE TO ASSURE SAFETY OF IT'S STAFF/CUSTOMERS. WITNESS STATES THE VEHICLE WAS OBVIOUSLY LURCHING AND APPEARED TO HAVE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THE DRIVER'S FOOT BOUNCED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL ON IMPACT LODGING IT UNDERNEATH THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT NEITHER FRONT AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. DRIVER DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION HOWEVER DRIVER'S FOOT WAS BADLY BRUISED.

ON JULY 28, 2014 I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY GOING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THE MAIN STREET AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING SPOT. I TRIED RESTARTING MY ENVOY WITH NO LUCK SO I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD GONE BAD. I HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER OR GOING DOWN A STEEP MOUNTAIN BECAUSE WHERE I LIVE I AM SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS. I AM NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH A SIMILAR VEHICLE. I DO KNOW THAT OTHER GM CARS AND VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS SAME SITUATION BUT WAS TOLD THAT MINE IS NOT UNDER A RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS STARTED EXPERIENCING A KNOCKING SOUND IN THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SIDE. IT STARTS APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTS AND STOPS WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING OR IDLE. THIS STARTED YESTERDAY EVENING. NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING IT. EVERYTHING IS RUNNING FINE IN THE VEHICLE. THERE MUST BE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND RESOLUTIONS. *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING EMPTY CONTINUOUSLY AS I HAVE READ FROM MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. AT FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO, AT WHICH TIME THE MESSAGE IN ON THE LCD READING SAID "STOP ENGINE" AND "OIL PRESSURE LOW". I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY GAS STATION AND CHECKED THE OIL, WHICH WAS ONLY DOWN A 1/4 TANK. MY MECHANIC STOPPED THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE RESET ITSELF BUT ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS ANOTHER SENSOR PROBLEM LIKE THE FUEL SENSOR BUT IS NOT COMPLETELY SURE. I ONLY STARTED WITH THIS ISSUE TODAY BUT IT IS MORE WORRISOME TO ME THAN KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MUCH GAS SHOULD BE IN MY TANK. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW AND HAVE DRIVE 79000 MILES. I ALSO HAD A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH I BELIEVE IS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 ENVOY, TODAY I WAS DRIVING GOING THE NORMAL SPEED AND GOT TO A STOP SIGN ALL A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED REVVING UP ON ITS ON AND THEN WOULD STOP. THEN I BEGAN TO GIVE IT GAS AND TO MY SURPRISE IT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET UP A HILL.MINUTES LATER THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MOVE AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG.I HAVE ONSTAR SO I CALLED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, THEY STATED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE CHECKED , THE ANTIFREEZE MAY BE LOW AND CAN EFFECT THE WAY THE TRUCK IS PERFORMING.WELL AFTER GOING TO THE GAS STATION TO PURCHASE THE ANTIFREEZE THEN I START THE TRUCK AND IT BEGINS TO REV AGAIN ON ITS OWN AND SUDDENLY I CAN NOT MOVE...I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER....IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ..IM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS IS DANGEROUS....I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN......SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE......I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE.... *TR
