2004 GMC Envoy Xuv

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. IT HAS TWO BUCKET SEATS AND A SECOND ROW BENCH SEAT AND A TRUNK THAT IS SEPARATED BY A PANEL WITH A GLASS INSIDE THE PANEL. I GUESS I HAVE ROLLED THIS WINDOW DOWN 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND NOW THE GLASS WILL NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID THE PART (REGULATOR) IS ON BACK ORDER FROM GM. THIS MEANS ONLY ONE THING THAT THEY HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. I CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE THEY HONOR NOTHING AND IN FACT HAD SOLD OUT AND DID NOT KNOW WHERE MY PAPERS WERE AT ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE REASON IT TOOK ME 34 YEARS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. I GOT BURNED AS A GREEN KID OUT OF COLLEGE WITH MY FIRST JOB AND PURCHASED A GM AND GOT SCREWED BY THE SALES PERSON IN THE CHECKERED COAT. GO FIGURE. ON TOP OF ALL THIS, THE RADIO FACE HAS TURNED FROM BLACK TO YELLOW AS THE PAINT OF ALL THINGS HAS STARTED COMING OFF OF THE RADIO. WHY WAS THE PLASTIC NOT MOLDED BLACK PLASTIC INSTEAD OF YELLOW PLASTIC AND PAINTED. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AS IT WAS PAST THE MILES. WELL THAT STINKS AS I HAD THE TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR AT THAT POINT. I TRAVEL A LOT IN MY JOB AND PUT A LOT OF MILES ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RADIO OR WINDOW REGULATOR. WHAT CAN I DO? *JB

2004 GMC ENVOY XUV I HAVE A LITTLE OVER 40,000 MILES AND MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT SAYS I'M GOING 120 MPH WHEN I MAY BE DOING 50 MPH. THE NEEDLE MOVES ERRATICALLY. I'M FINDING I'M NOT THE ONLY GM CUSTOMER HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. ESPECIALLY ON A VEHICLE THAT'S ONLY 2 YEARS OLD W/ UNDER 50,000 MILES. THIS IS A ROAD HAZARD AND AN EXPENSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY. *NM

MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING MY 2004 GMC ENVOY SUV. WHILE DRIVING REPORTED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH; THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES, SHE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, SWERVED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER, CRASHING INTO A UTILITY POLE. SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT. DURING THIS TIME NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TREATED FOR SCRAPES & BRUISES, PAIN, MINOR INJURIES, MAJOR INJURIES RULED OUT BY X-RAYS & CT SCANS, THEN RELEASED. I UNDERSTAND THE THEORY " IF A PERSON IS ABLE TO WALK AWAY FROM THE CRASH THE VEHICLE DID IT'S JOB." MY CONCERN WAS NOT MUCH OF A CONCERN UNTIL THE RESPONDING EMT'S, OFFICERS, AND MECHANIC AT THE PLACE WHERE THE CAR IS CURRENTLY STORED ALL VOICED CONCERNS REGARDING THE FACT NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT. I ALSO BECAME CONCERNED AFTER SEEING THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE. WE ARE NOT OFFICIALLY SURE OF THE STATUS OF THE CAR AT THIS TIME AS WE ARE STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE ADJUSTER. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC & RESPONDING OFFICER BELIEVE IT IS TOTALED. THE ENTIRE FRONT WINDOW SHATTERED, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS RIPPED OFF HANGING ON A THREAD, THE ENTIRE FRONT END/GRILL RIPPED OFF, BOTH HEADLIGHTS CRUSHED, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS NO LONGER THERE, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE ENTIRELY MISSING ALONG WITH ANYTHING HOLDING IT IN PLACE, THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT IS ALMOST TOUCHING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS PUSHED BACK TOWARD THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR AS WELL. MY FIANCE WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE, THE CONCERN IS IF SHE HADN'T BEEN, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO A PASSENGER...CLEAR SPECULATION , BUT THE AIRBAG MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY SAVING GRACE A PASSENGER WOULD HAVE HAD. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, GM, AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND NOW NHTSA WITH THIS CONCERN. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REVIEW THIS REPORT. *JB

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV HAD AT LEAST 12 FAILURES TO STOP. THIS ISSUE BEGAN OCCURRING AS SOON AS I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2005. DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE: 1. WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (SHORTEST 1 SECOND, LONGEST 3-4 SECONDS) CAUSING FAILURE TO STOP. 2. ISSUE IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND OCCURS AT ANY TRAVELING SPEEDS (EXAMPLE: 75 MPH, 15 MPH)... WHAT WAS DONE: 1. FIRST COMPLAINT TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN 2005: NO ISSUES FOUND. 2ND COMPLAINT AT 2005: DEALER REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER. 3RD COMPLAINT IN JUN 2006: DEALER REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER AGAIN. CONCLUSION: SINCE THIS ISSUE IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE VERY OFTEN, IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO VERIFY THE FIX. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS SUV. *NM
