2005 GMC Envoy

AT THE BEGINNING OF NOV THERE WAS TWO OCCASIONS THAT I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK MY HEADLIGHTS AND THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BOARD WOULD DIM AND FLASH EVERY TIME I LET MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. THE GAUAGE TO THE BATTERY WOULD DROP DOWN PASS THE HALF POINT.AND I WOULD HERE CLICKING IN MY STEERING COLUMN,THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON.I TOLD THE GMC DEALERABOUT THIS,THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY CONCERN AT THAT TIME. HE GAVE ME A #02-06-03-008A FORM AND TOLD ME IT COULDNT BE FIXED. I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS I AM DRIVING A DEFECTIVE SUV. I AM AFRAID OF GOING OUT TO START MY SUV AND IT NOT START.THAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IT COULD HAVE. *NM

FIRST THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE DEALER REPLACED A BELT FOR 200.00. SECONDLY THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED READING FUEL LEVELS, DEALER STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS DEAD AND WOULD COST 300.00 TO REPLACE. NEXT THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OVER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. ALSO THEY HAD A SUNROOF INSTALLED FOR ME. A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE THE SUNROOF STARTED TO OPEN AND CLOSE EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, IT WAS REPAIRED BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2005 GMC ENVOY SLE IN MARCH OF 2006. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE WHILE STOPPED WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO RESUME AND NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND BOTH TIMES THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *JB

2005 GMC ENVOY XL PURCHASE APRIL 29, 2006 JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER MY DRIVE SHAFT WAS REPLACED. A FEW WEEKS LATER WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC OFF OF THE EXPRESS WAY ENGINE DIED. VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 5TH TIME FOR SAME PROBLEM OF ENGINE STALLING DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL RATTLING AND FINALLY BROKE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO BRAKING PRIOR TO THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR OTHER OBJECTS. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE DEPLOYMENT, HOWEVER IT DID ILLUMINATE AFTER THE DEPLOYMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. UPDATED 7/25/2006 - *NM

IN AUGUST 2005 ON A TRIP, EXITING OFF RAMP BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, WAS ABLE TO "PUMP" IT AND GET RESPONSE. AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF, SETTING & RESTART BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. UPON RETURN TO DEALERSHIP MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. A FEW MONTHS LATER BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY "SPONGY" WITH NO STOPPING POWER. DEALERSHIP BLED BRAKES AND SAID PROBLEM WAS AIR IN SYSTEM. STILL NO IMPROVEMENT, EXTREMELY SOFT PEDAL AND UNIT WILL NOT PANIC STOP. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP END OF JUNE 2006 AND THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER A SECOND TIME. UNIT IS STILL NO BETTER AND IN MY OPINION UNSAFE TO DRIVE IF IT WILL NOT PANIC STOP. DEALERSHIP SAYS GM HAS TOLD THEM TO ORDER MORE PARTS, BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *NM

I HAVE AN '05 GMC ENVOY SLT. I'VE ONLY OWNED IT SIX MONTHS, SINCE NOV '05. I'VE DEALT WITH FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS UNTIL JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I HAD THAT ISSUE LOOKED AT WHILE INSTALLING STEP RAILS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A TYPICAL ISSUE WITH ENVOYS AND THEY ONLY NEEDED TO 'TIGHTEN' SOME BOLTS. WHEN I INITIALLY MENTIONED THE PROBLEM I ALSO COMMENTED THAT I WOULD GET THE 'SHOCK' OF MY LIFE WHILE EXITING THE ENVOY AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE A GROUNDING ISSUE BUT THEY SAID NO. ANYWAY. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR A FEW DAYS BUT IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN AND IT GETS WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. BEFORE I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SO BAD I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE SURGE IN UNISON WITH THE FLICKERING OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS. I FEEL THIS COULD BE AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT INVOLVES THE HEADLIGHTS AND IT MORE NOTICEABLE IN THE DARK HOURS. *JB

MY SON WAS KILLED IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT ON 4/18/06. HE WAS EJECTED THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IN WHICH THE TOP PART OF THE DOOR WAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR DURING THE ROLLOVER. BY LOOKING AT THE TIRE TRACKS OF THE ACCIDENT, HE WAS JUST ENTERING THE ON RAMP OF THE ROAD AND THE TRACKS SHOW NO SKID MARKS, SWERVING, ETC, JUST A STRAIGHT LINE INTO THE DITCH AS IF HE DIDNT HAVE CONTROL OF THE STEERING OR BRAKES, POSSIBLE STALLING ?? BOTH TIRES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WERE FLATTENED. AIR BAGS WERE NEVER DEPLOYED. *NM

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, IN THE PROCESS OF SLOWING DOWN OR AT A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK EXPERIENCES ENGINE SURGES. IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND GIVES NO WARNING. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I'VE ALMOST REAR-ENDED PEOPLE NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THE SURGES. IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'LL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT FOR ANOTHER SERVICE CALL WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME BUT THEN A CO-WORKER SAID SHE HAD THE SAME ISSUES TO THE EXTENT THAT SHE SOLD HER CAR BACK AND BOUGHT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MAKE & MODEL. *JB
