2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

CONSUMER WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HAS LOST COMPLETELY POWER AND HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING POWER. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND HAD NO IDEA AS WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH THE BRAKES FAILED AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. *NLM

FIRST, RAINSENSE WINDSHIELD WIPER EQUIPPED VEHICLE HAS WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP AND STUTTER AT LEAST THREE TIMES ON EACH FORWARD AND BACK CYCLE WHEN IN INTERMITTENT MODE. WIPERS NOW DELAY UP TO 30 SECONDS AT TOP OF CYCLE (STRAIGHT UP ON WINDSHIELD) AND ARE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE "PULSE RELAY" WHICH DID NOT WORK AND THEN TECH STATED THEY OPERATE NORMALLY AND CUSTOMER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND FUNCTION OF RAINSENSE FEATURE DESPITE OWNING VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS WITHOUT PRIOR ISSUE. SECOND, RIGHT PASSENGER OUTSIDE MIRROR RANDOMLY CHANGES SETTING CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD DURING MANEUVERING OF VEHICLE. DEALER STATES THERE IS NO PROBLEM DESPITE FIXING AT LEAST 5 TIMES PRIOR. PLEASE NOTE PRIOR 19 COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA ONLINE OUT OF 200 LISTED. THIS WOULD SEEM TO REQUIRE A RECALL. *JB

THE VEHICLE'S REMOTE CONTROL REAR VIEW MIRRORS ADJUST THEMSELVES. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM SIX TIMES. *NLM

THE EXTERIOR MIRRORS MALFUNCTIONED, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO REVERSE, THE MIRRORS MOVED DOWNWARD, HOWEVER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO DRIVE, THE MIRRORS FAILED TO RETURN TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. *JB

THE SIDE MIRRORS WORKED AT RANDOM, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. *JB

THE GMC ENVOY'S ELECTRONICS FAIL. NO DASH INSTRUMENTS OR RADIO CONTROLS. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. OCCURS WHEN DRIVING. THE ENGINE RACES UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TO 12 TIMES. THE SLV-TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WHO IS ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR IT.*JB

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED TWICE, BUT STILL VIBRATES, AND FAILS TO MOVE VEHICLE FORWARD AT TIMES, FROM A DEAD STOP. IS VERY DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS WHERE MOVING QUICKLY IS IMPERATIVE. ALSO WIRING PROBLEMS WHICH OPERATE VARIOUS REMOTE INSTRUMENTS (MIRRORS, SEATS, ETC.) FEAR OF FIRE. REAR DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED - CLICKS "LOCKED/UNLOCKED" WHILE DRIVING. SEATS MOVE ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. *NLM

I AM CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY DEFECT THAT EXIST IN MY GMC ENVOY 2002. I OWN THIS VEHICLE SINCE MARCH 2002 (1 YEAR) AND IT STALLED 5 TIMES ALREADY WHEN DRIVING. IT HAPPEND 3 TIMES WHEN I STOPPED MY VIHICLE AT RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND 2 TIMES WHEN BREAKING TO SLOW DOWN, DRIVING DOWNHILL BEFORE A CURVE. THIS 2 TIMES HAVE SCARED ME SO MUCH THAT I AM AFFRAID TO USE THIS CAR AGAIN. I DRIVE CARS FOR 28 YEARS AND NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS HAPPEND TO ME IN MY LIFE. ENGINE STOPS WORKING, ALL LIGHTS GO OUT AND THERE IS NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. I AM HAPPY NO ONE GOT HURT IN THOSE INCIDENTS. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 16K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN IN SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY, INCLUDING POWER STEERING LEAK - 2 TIMES REPAIRED. I DO NOT THINK DRIVING THIS CAR IS SAFE AND FOR THAT REASON I CANNOT USE IT ANYMORE.

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS CORROSION AROUND THE AIR BAG. *NLM
