2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY ON OUR GM XUV AFTER MAJOR CRASH INTO DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND SIDE FRAME. CALLED LOCAL DEALER, REFERRED TO GM REGIONAL, SAID "THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE AIR BAGS". WROTE TO GM HOME OFFICE REFERRED BACK TO REGIONAL. REGIONAL SAID FILE WAS IN "LEGAL" GAVE UP TRYING.

HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH REAR TAIL LIGHT (STOP LIGHTS). WHEN I REPLACE THE BURNED OUT BULB, IT BURNS OUT WITHIN TWO WEEKS OR LESS. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BOARD THAT HOLDS THE BULBS WHICH COST ABOUT $40.00 EACH. HAVE REPLACED FOUR TIMES SINCE 2010. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSING THE BOARD TO BURN OUT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH PASSENGERS IN CAR, SMOKE STARTED TO COME FROM THE FLOOR AREA IN THE BACK SEAT AREA. IMMEDIATELY DROVE CAR TO A CAR SERVICE SHOP TO HAVE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE WHERE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. THE CAR TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM OTHER THAN FROM THE FLOOR AREA IN THE BACK. HAVE BEEN REPLACING A RADIATOR BECAUSE THE ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING HOT. HAD A NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED. THEN BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTI-FREEZE DISAPPEARING FROM THE RADIATOR AND THE RESERVOIR. TOOK CAR IN AND HAD A PRESSURE TEST PERFORMED. THE MECHANIC WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE PROBLEM AND IDENTIFIED THAT THE ANTI-FREEZE WAS LEAKING FROM THE REAR HEATER CORE. I WAS ASKED IF I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND IN THE INSIDE OF THE CAR COMING FROM THE BACK. I TOLD HIM I HEARD IT OFF AND ON. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WAS WERE THE SMOKE CAME FROM EARLIER. *TR

BOUGHT NEW AND LOVED THE RIDE.LIST PRICE WAS OVER $42,000. WELL MAINTAINED. 1ST LOST SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES. REPLACED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. 40K MILES REPLACED BLOWER MOTOR. 60K MILES WINDOW BEHIND BACKSEAT JUST DROPPED. REPLACED REGULATOR (I THINK). 62K MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - REPLACED FUEL CAP THEN TOOK TO DEALER - $600 REPLACED A OXYGEN SENSORS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER WITH SAME CODE. JUST DRIVING WITH IT NOW. 68K MILES - REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP.89K MILES - DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW MODULE BURNT - REPLACED. 91K MILES - WHILE REPLACING DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT FOUND WIRE TO LIGHT WAS MELTED. 98K MILES REAR SPEAKERS QUITE WORKING. PROBABLY A COUPLE OF THINGS I HAVE FORGOTTEN. 8-12-14 IT HAS 99360 MILES ON IT AND STILL LOVE THE RIDE BUT HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM. I HAVE HAD 7 GM VEHICLES AND WILL HAVE NO MORE AFTER THIS ONE.SOME OF THESE ITEMS HAVE HAD A RECALL BUT NOT FOR THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PARTS ARE IN THIS ONE AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES. *TR

VEHICLE IS STUCK IN PARK, ON THE DASH BOARD IT SHOW THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, TACH GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY. TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. FORWARD AIR VENTS DO NOT WORK ALL. *TR

CAR WILL NOT ENGAGE IN PARK POSITION. CAR WILL ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARDS CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS OF INJURY OR ANOTHER PERSON OR CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, AN ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND FUEL WAS VISIBLE ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PERFORMED A TEMPORARY REPAIR HIMSELF HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

I WILL CUT THE CAR ON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IDOLS HARD THEN CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING . I READ ON INTERNET ALIT OF GM VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM JUST WONDERING IS THERE A RECALL? ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT WILL NOT CUT OFF. *TR

SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING BECAME DISENGAGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. SHIFTER LEVER FLOATED FREELY THROUGH GEARS. WHEN ENGINE STOPPED, IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK BUT REMAINED IN NEUTRAL AND BEGAN FREELY ROLLING BACKWARDS IN MY DRIVEWAY. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE USED TO STOP THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

WE BOUGHT NEW A 2004 GMC XUV. FROM THE BEGINNING WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN PARKED THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON IF YOU DO NOT WIGGLE THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN A FEW DAYS YOU COME BACK THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WE KEEP A BATTERY JUMPER IN THE CAR SINCE NEW SO WE ARE NOT LEFT STRANDED. THE REAR AND MIDDLE WINDOW HAVE FAILED FOUR TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CANNOT OPEN THE BACK GATE OR OPEN THE ROOF WHICH I FEEL IS DANGEROUS. YOU CANNOT GET IN OR OUT FOR THERE IS NO RELEASE. FIXED FOUR TIMES AND THE WINDOW WENT DOWN AGAIN AT 74,000 MILES AND GATE IS LOCK AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER AND PRIVATE MECHANICS BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WE NOW HAVE A SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE. GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON THEN GO OFF ERRATICALLY. AT THE SAME TIME OUR AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS ONLY ON OUR FEET. THE MECHANICS SAY THE ENTIRE CONTROL PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FIVE MONTHS LATER THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS AGAIN. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE OUR LAST GM CAR. *TR
