2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

THE POWER STEERING UNIT WENT OUT ON MY GMC ENVOY. YES, MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY,BUT DO NOT FEEL THIS SHOULD OF OCCURRED. IN DISCUSSING WITH SERVICE MGR. OF SELLING DEALER HE ADVISED THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR FAILURES. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY AT 45 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST ALL TRANSMISSION CONTROL. THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO PARK HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. UPON INSPECTION THE TRANSFER CASE AND MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL #01V334000, REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL HOWEVER; IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ABS ENGAGED AT SPEEDS OF 30 MPH AND BELOW. THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS INCREASED AS A RESULT. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V379000, REGARDING THE ABS SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. UPDATED 03/03/06. *JB

2002 ENVOY WHEEL STUDS BROKE COMPLETELY OFF 3 TIMES. *TS ***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** THE STUDS ALWAYS BREAK OFF IN THE SAME LOCATION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL. THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN ROTATED BY THE DEALER EVERY 7/8000 MILES. *NM

THE CABLE CONNECTING THE SHIFT LEVER TO THE TRANSMISSION PULLED LOSE AND LOCKED THE TRANSMISSION IN THE PRE-FAILURE STATE. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE IS SHIFTING INTO PARK, THEY MAY NOT REALIZE THAT THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT GO INTO PARK AND THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR ON THE SHIFT CABLE IS LOCATED VERY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST PIPE AND APPEARS TO LOSE HIGH TEMP OVER TIME. (THE EARS PULLED THROUGH). *JB

REAR DOOR LATCHES SEIZE AND DO NOT LATCH THE DOOR CLOSED. INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH ALL THE DOOR LATCHES IN THIS VEHICLE OCCURS FROM TIME TO TIME. *AK

2002 GMC ENVOY -DRIVER WAS SITTING AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL WITH LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON . WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN DRIVER PROCEEDED THROUGH INTERSECTION TO MAKE TURN WHEN ACCELERATOR THROTTLE. DRIVER COULD NOT STOP OR CONTROL VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO HIT CONCRETE BRIDGE PILLAR HEAD ON. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ELECTRONIC MIRRORS RE-ADJUST WITHOUT WARNING. THE MIRRORS SHOULD MAINTAIN THE LAST SETTING, BUT REQUIRE RE-ADJUSTMENT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. OCCASIONALLY THE MIRRORS RE-ADJUST WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CHANGE LANES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MIRRORS AND MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ELECTRICAL UNIT. THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY ALLEVIATED TEMPORARILY BY THE REPAIRS AND THE MIRRORS BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN A YEAR AGO. *NM... THE MIRRORS WILL SELF ADJUST THE SETTINGS. WHILE DRIVING THE CONTACT LOOKED IN THE MIRRORS TO CHANGE LANES AND THEY WERE OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. HAD TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST THE MIRRORS PRIOR TO CHANGING LANES. ALSO, WHEN SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTED IT, HAD TO ADJUST THE MIRRORS. THE MIRRORS WILL NOT HOLD THE SET ADJUSTMENT. IN ADDITION, THE TAILGATE COULD ONLY BE OPENED WITH THE REMOTE, THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO OPEN THE TAILGATE. IN A SITUATION WHERE THE CONTACT'S ONLY EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE WAS FROM THE INSIDE, COULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE. *AK

BOTH SIDE REAR VIEW PROGRAMMABLE MIRRORS WILL STAY IN THE PROPER POSITION. THEY WILL CHANGE POSITION AT ALL TIMES. *JB

IN MY 2002 GMC ENVOY, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY ENGINE FAN CLUTCH 3 TIMES. AFTER RESEARCH ON DIFFERENT FORUMS, THERE SEEMS TO A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. *JB
