2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. *AK

THE ENGINE OF MY 2002 GMC ENVOY HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BOTH TIME JEOPARDIZING MY SAFETY. THE FIRST STALLED HAPPENED WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT NIGHT. IT STALLED AND STOPPED WHILE I WAS IN THE ONCOMING LANE ON A BEND WHERE TRAFFIC SPEED IN 75 MPH. LUCKILY NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAME BEFORE I PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED AFTER ABOUT 10 IGNITION ATTEMPTS. THE SECOND STALL HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVE AT 65 MPH. THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. I STEERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE STARTED AFTER I LET IT REST A MINUTE. 'VE TOOK THE CAR TO A GMC SHOP AFTER EACH STALL. THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING, THAT IT WAS PROBABLY BAD GAS. THE SECOND DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE SITUATION SO THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *AK

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE STALLED. NO CRANK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. PANEL LIGHTS OPERATIONAL, ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIRS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN EIGHT VEHICLE PILE UP. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SEVERE BACK AND LEG INJURIES. *AK *SC

THE HAS BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACTED THAT BOTH REAR DOORS HAVE INTERMITTENTLY FLEW OPEN ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN MAKING A TURN, EVEN WHEN THE CHILD PROOF LOCK WAS ACTIVATED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND BOTH DOORS WERE CORRECTED. *LA *NM

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH PULLING A 3000 LB. BOAT AND TRAILER. I FELT SOMETHING CHANGE IN THE FRONT END AS THOUGH THE ALIGNMENT CHANGED AS I WAS DRIVING. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY, AND AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES A VERY LOUD POP CAME FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE UPPER BALL JOINT HAD COMPLETELY SEPARTATED FROM THE UPPER CONTROL ARM. THIS APPARENTLY OCCURRED AFTER THE BOLT THAT SECURES THE BALL JOINT IN THE UPPER CONTROL ARM EITHER SHEARED, FELL OUT, OR WAS NEVER THERE BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO DAMAGE, AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING PARTS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THE UPPER CONTROL ARM AND UPPER BALL JOINT.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND IT HIT A GUARD RAIL, FLIPPED OVER SIX TIMES, AND LANDED UPRIGHT. UPON IMPACT, BOTH FRONTAL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED OUT BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *AK

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO WARNING. CONSUMER CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK SO THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE INSPECTED. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED AND UPDATED. *AK

REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. SINCE THE LAST REPAIR THE DOOR LOCK WAS DEFECTIVE AGAIN. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME REPAIR. CURRENTLY, PASSENGER'S REAR DOOR WAS DEFECTIVE AS WELL. *AK

MY FRONT TIRE HAD A LEAK AND WAS DOWN TO THE RIM. I WAS ON A LEVEL SERVICE AND AN IDEAL SPOT FOR ONE TO CHANGE A TIRE. I READ THE SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS SEVERAL TIMES AND FOLLOWED THEM EXACTLY, BUT COULD NOT GET THE SPARE TIRE OFF OF THE SUV. THE SECONDARY LOCK WOULD NOT COME OFF. I ENDED UP CALLING AAA TO COME OUT AND TRY AND HELP. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS ON OTHER ENVOYS/TRAILBLAZERS, BUT NOT TO THIS EXTENT. HE WORKED ON IT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WITH NO LUCK. FINALLY, HE HAD TO FILL IT UP WITH AIR AND I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE NEXT GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP MORE. I HAD TO KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL I FOUND A PLACE THAT COULD JACK UP MY CAR AND FIX THE TIRE ON THE SPOT (WITHOUT USING THE SPARE). I STILL CANNOT GET THE SPARE OFF OF MY TRUCK. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS. *AK
