2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS NO POWER. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR UNLOCK. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AND STAY SHUT. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GETTING MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND NOW I CAN'T USE THE CAR BECAUSE MY KIDS COULD FALL OUT. IN THE OTHER VEHICLES IT WAS THE FAULTY LATCH. THIS HAPPENED TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL. NUMBER 05V494000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 313,000.

SEVERE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN VEHICLE,EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING ON IT!!!! VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN A MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, I REPLACED TRANSMISSION 2 TIMES AS WELL!!!!HAD NO LIGHTS,TURNING SIGNALS,NO HEAT HEAT THEN THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED COMPLETELY NOTHING JUST DEAD!!! HAD BATTERY CHECKED WASNT THAT!!!! THEY TOLD ME ELECTRICAL ISSUES NOT SURE WHAT ONLY HAD VEHICLE 3 MONTHS!!! I HAD HAD 2004 TRAILER BLAZER BEFORE THIS SAME ISSUES!!!! ONLY HAD IT 2 MONTHS AND TRANSMISSION WENT OUT PD THAT THEN ONCE AGAIN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS!!!!!

MY RIGHT WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP. HE TOOK THE PIECE WHERE I CONTROL THE WINDOW OFF AND IT HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS ALL MELTED & CORRODED I HAVE PICTURES

I AM SMELLING FUEL IN AND AROUND THE TRUCK WITH NO VISUAL SIGNS OF FUEL ON THE GROUND.

THE STEERING IS A LITTLE SPORADIC AT SPEEDS 70 OR HIGHER OR CHACHI.THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING MECHANISM YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT WITH BOTH HANDS TO TRY TO GET SOME TYPE OF CORRECTION IN THE IN THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T UPLOAD PHOTOGRAPHS OR SOMETHING I I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.

I BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY HEADLIGHTS, LOW AND HIGH BEAMS, FLICKERING OFF AND ON AT RANDOM FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS UNTIL MY BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED TO DO THE EXACT SAME 7 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THEY HAVE QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER! I HAVE TAKEN THIS SUV TO 4 DIFFERENT SHOPS NOW, AND NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THE LAST MECHANIC WHO ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE, SAYS HE FOUND AN OLDER RECALL ON THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURED TAG LIGHTS BEING MALFUNCTIONED TO THE POINT IT CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE FRONT AND BACK LIGHTS. THE MAN SHOWN ME THE INFORMATION ON THIS RECALL, SEEING THE PART # IS LISTED ON THERE, I COMPARED IT TO MINE AND A NEIGHBOR'S 2002 ENVOY; WHICH BOTH OF OUR ENVOYS HAVE THESE MALFUNCTIONED PARTS. GM HAS NOT CONTACTED US BACK, AND WE'RE AT A LOSS BECAUSE IT'S A PART NEEDED FROM THEM DIRECTLY. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY ENVOY OWNERS ON A WEB FORUM, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSANDS OF ENVOYS OUT THERE WITH THESE SAME ISSUES, CAUSING ACCIDENTS ON THE ROAD WAY TOO OFTEN! IT'S DANGEROUS, AND NOBODY WILL HELP WITH THIS IRRITATING ISSUE!

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME ON HWY/US 151 GOING APPROX. 55-60 MPH (65 MPH ZONE) WHEN I HIT A DEER WHICH CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL AND SLAMMED INTO THE START OF A GUARDRAIL AT NO LESS THAN 45 MPH BRINGING MY 2002 GMC ENVOY TO A COMPLETE STOP, AT MOST 2-3 FEET FROM INITIAL IMPACT TO BE EXACT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FRONT DASH NOR SIDE IMPACT BAGS, NOTHING. N I HIT HARD. LUCKILY I WASN'T SERIOUSLY INJURED ONLY MINOR BRUISING AND QUITE SORE FROM WHIPLASH AND BEING THROWN INTO THE DOOR AN A BIT SHAKEN N LUCKILY HAD NO PASSENGERS. AS FOR MY ENVOY, IT IS A TOTAL LOSS AND UNFORTUNATELY I ONLY HAD LIABILITY INSURANCE SO NOW I'M SCREWED WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND AFTER ALL OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE FACED WITH MY GMC ENVOY I WILL NEVER OWN A GM AGAIN. TAKE GM PRODUCTS TO THE DUMP.

HEAD LIGHTS WILL ALL AT ONCE GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I'VE REPLACED THE HDM RELAY AND IT WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN IT DONE IT AGAIN.
