VEHICLE'S "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON 2 DAYS PRIOR TO FAILING A VEHICLE EMISSIONS TEST FOR FUEL TANK LEAK. DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A "SPECIAL POLICY" IN PLACE AS THE MANUFACTURER RECOGNIZED THIS SAME DEFECT ON OTHER VEHICLES. THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE "SPECIAL POLICY" BUT WAS THE SAME DEFECT. THE DEALER IS ADVISING NOT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRED. THE DEALER OPINION IS THAT DUE THE "SPECIAL POLICY" THERE ARE NO FUEL TANKS AVAILABLE SO THE VEHICLE IA LOCATED AT THE DEALER UNTIL REPAIRED. OLD PART CAN BE MA…

I OWN A 2004 ENVOY XL WITH A V-8 MOTOR. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, WHO STATES THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM, THAT THE TRANSMISSION JERKS EXTREMELY BAD WHEN IT CHANGES INTO 2ND GEAR AND THEN AGAIN WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER ENVOY OWNERS THAT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED, AND ONE FRIEND HAD EVEN HAD HIS VEHICLE EXCHANGED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THE DEALER HAD VIRTUALLY DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OTHER DEALERS IN MY AREA DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH THE VEHICLE, AND IT ONLY HAS 6500 MILES ON…

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING ERATIECLY FOR A WHILE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG DRIVE IT UNTIL IT BREAKS. 3 MONTHS AND ABOUT 3,000 MILES LATER I HAD NOT HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM. UNTIL I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. I CHECKED FOR TRAFIC AND WENT TO PULL OUT EXCEPT THAT THE ENVOY WOULD BARELY MOVE. IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKES WERE ON OR SOMETHING WAS HOLDING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM MOVING. THE CROSS TRAFFIC WAS QUICKLY APPROACHING AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES …

ENVOY NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, SOUNDS LIKE IT IS DRAGGING, HAD IT CHECKED OUT, THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. NOW WHEN THE DIFFICULTY STARTS THE ABS LIGHT, THE BRAKE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ALONG WITH THE 4WD LIGHT ALL COME ON, THE BLOWERS DO NOT FUNCTION WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, NOR DOES THE AIR CONDITIONING AND OR CRUISE CONTROL. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS ACTIVE, INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD 43,000 MILES, IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THEN A PI REPORT SUDDENLY CAME OUT SO WE WILL SEE IF I…

THE ONE "ELECTRICAL" PART THAT CONTROLS THE INSTRUMENTS THAT GIVE THE SPEED OF THE CAR, RPMS, GAS, OIL, ECT....ALL GAUGES DO NOT WORK. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS YET WITH GMC, I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR RIGHT AFTER THE 60K MILE MARK. THIS IS A TRUE "DANGER"...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED, HOW MUCH GAS, WHAT MY ENGINE IS DOING...NOTHING...THE DEALERSHIPS WANT ANYWHERE FROM $400.00 TO $600.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A TRUE MECHANICAL DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, SAID THAT …

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV (V6) HAS AN ENGINE PROBLEM. IT HAS STALLED ON 3 OCCASSIONS. WE TOLD THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT. THEY SAID THE COMPUTER ON THE ENVOY DIDN'T HAVE A RECORD OF THE INCIDENT. ON THE 1ST INCIDENT IT HAPPENED WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. THE 2ND TIME WAS AFTER REVERSING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND THEN DRIVING FORWARD OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE 3RD TIME WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FORWARD AFTER WAITING FOR THE GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN.
