2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

I HAVE HAD THREE TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THE FIRST WAS IN DEC, 2002 AT 14,000 MILES. THE SECOND WAS IN DEC 2003 AT 36,000 MILES. THE THIRD WAS JAN 2005 AT 58,000 MILES. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE CAR BUT CAN NOT DETERMINE THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE LAST FAILURE WAS WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND WE WERE PULLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SINCE THEY HAVE NOT DETERMINED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE I SEE NO REASON TO THINK IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ENGINE SHUTS OFF; WOULD NOT RESTART FIRST TRY. WOULD START A LITTLE LATER. WENT TO DEALER, REPROGRAMMED PCM WITH LATEST CALIBRATION UPDATE. SECOND TIME HAPPENED AT 70 MPH. *AK

FOR I HAVE A 2002 GMC ENVOY THAT IS HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS AND THE ANSWER THAT I WAS GETTING FROM THE DEALER WAS THAT MY BRAKES WERE LOW, WELL I CHANGED THEM AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE, FOR AT TIMES WHEN HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKE THE PEDAL WILL STOP AND THEN DROP ABOUT AN EIGHT OF AN INCH ( AS IF THERE IS AIR IN THE LINES) AND I DON'T KNOW IF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE THOUGHT OF AS DANGEROUS, BUT I HAVE THEM TOO. *JB

2002 GMC ENVOY HAS PROBLEMS STARTING.*MR THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. *NM

BOTH POWER EXTERIOR MIRRORS MOVED WHILE DRIVING. THEY WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE. THIS CONDITION CAUSES POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING DRIVING OR PARKING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK *BF *NM

AIR BAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE AND JUST STARTED IT AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAD COME ON ONCE OR TWICE WHILE DRIVING BUT WENT OFF.*AK

FOR THIS AUTO HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ABOUT TWENTY TIMES AND THREE TIMES FOR A WATER LEAK THAT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY MONTH THERE'S A NEW PROBLEM, AND I HAVE SPENT ABOUT 19000 IN THIS CAR AND I'M AFRAID THAT I WILL HAVE TO SPEND MONEY THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. *AK

AFTER NUMEROUS RECALLS ON MY 2002 ENVOY I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE DASH LIT UP, HORN, RADIO, ALARM ALL WORKED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I COULD MOVE GEAR SHIFT FROM P TO N AND IT STILL WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS TOLD GMC ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DOESNT APPLY IF YOU HAVE AAA. DEALER SAID (ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER CODES) THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FAULTY INGITION SWITCH. THEY REPLACED IT BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW THE DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO COMUPTER CODES THIS TIME SO THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 10 DAYS NOW. EVERY TIME THE DEALER TURNS THE KEY IT STARTS UP WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC ON A DAILY BASIS TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY PLAN ON DOING. I BOUGHT IT NEW, AND IT ONLY HAS 18,400 MILES ON IT. I'M SUPPOSED TO HEAR FROM GMC TODAY ON WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT A YEAR AND AFTER I RESTARTED IT, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF A LOWER GEAR AND THE ENGINE WAS VERY LOUD. I HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS MACHINED AT 12000 MILES BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE PULSING HARD AND THE ROTORS WERE PITTED. SO MUCH FOR BUYING A NEW VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE DEPENDABLE! I'M MAKING PAYMENTS FOR A VEHICLE THAT I DONT HAVE! *AK

THE TRIM CONTAINING REAR STOP LIGHT LOCATED AT THE TOP REAR OF VEHICLE BROKE OFF BECAUSE THE CLIPS HOLDING IT TO BODY OF VEHICLE SHEARED OFF. *AK

CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE REPAIRS ON THE BRAKE LIGHT RECALL DONE SINCE THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO THE DEALERS IN THE CONSUMER'S AREA. *AK
