2005 GMC Envoy

I RECENTLY BOUGHT AN GMC ENVOY XUV SUDDENLY ONE DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND IT STARTED RAINING, I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND THEN ADJUSTED IT TO THE SLOWEST MODE. THEY STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE RAIN WITH POOR VISIBILITY. I ALSO BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE AND AS OF THIS DATE THERE ARE ONLY APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CALLED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD IT MAY NOT BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY SO FAR I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT BEEN USING THIS VEHICLE. UNTIL I GET BETTER SERVICE AT GMC I WILL CONTINUE TO NOT USE IT. *NM

CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF 2005 GMC ENVOY WHILE DRIVING. ***NO WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY THE CONSUMER SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE WHEN IT ROLLED OVER TWICE. THE CONSUMER AND HIS WIFE WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE CONSUMER REQUEST THAT A SAFETY INVESTIGATION BE INITIATED IN REFERENCE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS WAS A RENTAL VEHICLE. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH HIT THE BRAKES AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND KNOCKED HIM UNCONSCIOUS. HE HAD A FRIEND IN THE VEHICLE AND HE WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO COLLISION, AND HE WAS UNSURE WHETHER HE RAN OVER ANYTHING. THE ROOF LINING FELL BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. HE SUSTAINED HEAD ABRASIONS; HE COULD NOT HEAR OUT OF LEFT EAR, AND COULD NOT SEE PROPERLY OUT OF LEFT EYE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY COULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A GM ENGINEER'S APPROVAL. HE RECEIVED A HISTORY OF VEHICLE AT TIME OF PURCHASE, AND HAS SINCE NOTICED THERE HAD BEEN BODY WORK DONE.*AK

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER PERIODICALLY. I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE HOME AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS A HUGE DISTRACTION TO HER WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LESS THAN 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO MY FRIEND, HIS 2005 TRAILBLAZER DOES THE SAME THING. NM

DT: CONSUMER OWNS A '05 GMC ENVOY AND HAS DIFFICULTY TOWING A TRAILER WITHIN GM RATES, GM STATES THAT HIS ENVOY CAN TOW A WEIGHT OF 5,800 POUND CAPACITY, HOWEVER HE FEELS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO MANEUVER A TRAVEL TRAILER OF 3,400 POUND CAPACITY. THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. CONSUMER HAS PULLED THE TRAILER WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND IT PULLS FINE BUT WHEN ATTACHED TO THE ENVOY THERE IS A PROBLEM. CONSUMER FEELS IT IS NOT WITH THE SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE BUT WITHIN THE ENGINE WHICH IS A V6. WHEN PULLING TRAILER FOR A DISTANCE AS LITTLE AS 2 MILES THE ENGINE HEATS UP, AND HE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF SPEED AND ENGINE THE BOGS DOWN TO 30 MPH. ENVOY IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 373 AXLE RATIO AND CAN NOT PULL AN ENCLOSED 24FT TRAVEL TRAILER ON IT'S 6 CYLINDER ENGINE. THE 2ND TRIP TO DEALER, THE SERVICE MANAGER DID DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THE CONSUMER NEEDED A V8 ENGINE. ALSO, THERE IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. CONSUMER GAVE EXAMPLES OF AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES AND THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM ENABLING ITSELF RESULTING IN A SHUTDOWN OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK TO DEALER 10 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER SAID GM WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE REPAIR UNLESS THEY COULD DUPLICATE PROBLEM. HAS CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT LEAST 100 TIMES FOR THESE ISSUES WITHOUT ANY LUCK. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS AS A RESULT. CONSUMER IS STILL EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS AS A RESULT. *JB

I OWN A 2005 ENVOY SLE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS A RESULT OF A TIRE BLOWOUT. I WAS CHANGING LANES ON A CITY STREET. I MOVED FROM THE RIGHT LANE TO THE LEFT LANE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO ADJUST TO MOVING OVER. I THAN ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE AND IT BEGAN TO FISH TAIL. I TRIED TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE FROM SWERVING AND I HIT THE GUARD RAIL. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE REAR TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS FLAT. I DID NOT HIT THE GUARD RAIL WITH THE REAR OF THE CAR ONLY THE FRONT. I BELIEVE THE BLOWOUT WAS THE REASON THE CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I AM SAVING THE TIRE TO HAVE SOMEONE INSPECT IT JUST TO SEE IF MY CLAIMS COULD BE RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIND ANY CUTS IN THE TIRE TO REPRESENT I RAN OVER SOMETHING PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] MY NAME IS [XXX] I AM [XXX]DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
