2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON HEADLIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED. *AK

THE 2002 GMC ENVOY ELECTRONIC OPERATION OF SIDE VIEW MIRRORS DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY. *BF THE MIRRORS WOULD REPOSITION THEMSELVES RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. GMC HAD SERVICED THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES, ALTHOUGH THE COMPUTER HAD BEEN UPGRADED, THE MIRROR MOTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE AND THE MIRRORS HAVE BEEN RESET SEVERAL TIMES UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. *SC

WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK THERE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. THE TICKING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE VEHICLE WARMS OR FOR A MAX. OF 3-5 MIN. ACCELERATING THE ENGINE WILL NOT STOP THE TICKING. INQUIRIES REVEALED OTHER ENVOY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IS THE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. REPLY NEEDED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *AK

DRIVING ON ROAD AND HEARD LOUD CLATTERING NOISE AND THEN ENGINE DIED. LOST ALL POWER! BROUGHT TO DEALER BY FLATBED AND FOUND CAMSHAFT BROKE OFF DUE TO LOSS OF OIL. DEALER IS SUPPOSEDLY FIXING PROBLEM. 35,000 MILES ON IT. JUST BOUGHT IN MARCH OF 04. WE THINK IT IS ENGINE DEFECT. *JB

I NOTICED THE BRAKES PULSING BADLY ON MY 2002 GMC ENVOY AT 27,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT BRAKES ARE COVERED UP TO 21,000 MILES AND ROTORS COVERED TO 24,000. ALL 4 ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. I GUESS THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE ASSUMED THAT A WARRANTY OF 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES MEANT THAT EVERYTHING WAS COVERED. HOW CONVENIENT IT IS FOR THE WARRANTY COVERAGE ON BRAKES AND ROTORS EXPIRES PRIOR TO THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THAT TELLS ME THAT GM KNOWS WHEN THE CHEAPER PARTS THEY ARE USING ARE GOING TO FAIL. THE 3 YEAR 36,000 WARRANTY IS VERY MISLEADING. IN MY 27 YEARS OF DRIVING, I'VE NEVER SEEN ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD FAILURE AT 27,000 MILES. GOOD BRAKE PARTS ARE VITAL IN THE SAFETY OF A VEHICLE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE ALLOWED TO USE INFERIOR MATERIALS. THANK GOD MY PREGNANT WIFE DIDN'T HAVE AND ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *AK

EXTERIOR POWER REAR VIEW MIRRORS WILL NOT STAY IN SAME POSITION. THE MIRRORS ARE TO AUTOMATICALLY MOVE INTO PROPER POSITION WHEN THE KEY FOB IS DEPRESSED. MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE MIRRORS STOP IN THE WRONG POSITION.*AK

RECALL 04V289000 CONCERNING ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED AIR SUSPENSION. VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ENGINE STALLING AT LOW SPEED. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AND DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE PLUG MELTING AND CAUSING THE BUILB TO GO OUT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE HEADLIGHT UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF THE PLUG.*AK
