2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS VEHICLE WILL STALL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT CAUSES IGNITION SWITCH TO BURN OUT. CONSUMER STATED AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED.AK TT

VEHICLE LOST POWER WITH OWNER 1 TRAVELING DOWN A HILL AT 35MPH, THEN STALLED AGAIN WITH OWNER 2 TRAVELING AT 60MPH. BROUGHT TO DEALER, SAID COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. ALSO SAID UNAWARE OF ANY BULLETINS AND THAT THEY CALLED TECHNICIAN ASSIST AND NO ONE KNEW OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *AK

UPON BEING INSPECTED AT THE NEAREST LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THE #6 PISTON WAS FOUND TO HAVE "SPLINTERED" A HALF MOON PIECE OFF THE TOP OF THE PISTON HEAD. THIS IN TURN "POPPED" THE CYLINDER SLEEVE RETAINING RING FROM THE TOP OF THE CYLINDER WHEN THE PISTON CAME UP. WITH THE RING REMOVED, THE CYLINDER SLEEVE ALSO ROSE OUTSIDE OF THE CYLINDER WALL AND WAS CAUGHT BY THE PISTON ON THE DOWNWARD TRAVEL. THE COMPLETE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 20 DAYS. THE DEALER'S SHOP FOREMAN CHECKED THE RECORDS AND FOUND THAT 150 OTHER ENGINES WILL BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED WITH A POSSIBLE 180 PROBABLY AFFECTED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, ALL GAUGES WENT BLANK, DARK, HAD TO STOP VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE, AFTER 5 MINUTES, TURNED IT BACK ON. GAUGES STARTED WORKING AGAIN. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *AK *TT

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STALL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. HAS HAPPENED TWICE. HAS CONTACTED DEALER . *AK CONSUMER ADDED THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENDED 3 TIMES, DEALER CHANGED BOARD IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, HOWEVER CONSUMER DOES NOT FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM IS REMEDIED. *TT

AT REFUELING, VEHICLE WAS IN "NORMAL" PITCH ALINEMENT. AFTER REFUELING, AND UPON LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION, VEHICLE EXHIBITED UNUSUAL REAR END BOUNCE, AS IF SHOCK ABSORBERS WERE MISSING. AFTER TWO MILE TRIP AT CITY STREET SPEED, VEHICLE WAS PARKED. VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT REAR END WAS SAGGING ABOUT SIX INCHES DOWN, OR MORE. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO DEALER (ABOUT THREE MILES) AND EXAMINED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THAT COMPRESSOR FOR LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM WAS LEAKING AND HAD FAILED. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH A TOWED LOAD, I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE.*AK

PASSENGER'S SIDE POWER SEAT IS TILTED IN A DOWNWARD POSITION. CANNOT TILT UPWARD DUE TO ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. MOTOR CAN BE HEARD, BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING.*AK

THE MEMORY MIRROR FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE WORKED FOR A WHILE, THEN FAILED. EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR THE MIRRORS WOULD SET THEMSELVES INCORRECTLY AT ANGLES THAT RENDER THEM USELESS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, AND THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH. THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING GM SUGGESTS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL KEEPS COMING BACK. WHILE THIS ISSUE MAY AT FIRST SEEM MINOR, IT REALLY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT REQUIRES THE OUTSIDE MIRRIRS TO HAVE TO BE RESET BEFORE EVERY DRIVE. HAVING YOUR MIRRORS IN PROPER SETTING IS CRITICAL TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF A VEHICLE. GM DOES NOT SEEM TO TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO FIND A PERMANENT FIX.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH HEADWIND AND TOPPING OUT A LARGE HILL, FRONT END LIFTS AND SWERVES DUE TO A LARGE AIR POCKET FORMED BY THE FRONT OF THE HOOD, THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR AND GRILL 'FINS' OR 'BARS', THE POCKET IS FIVE INCHES DEEP, 4 INCHES HIGH AND 4 FEET WIDE. DRIVER FILLED THE POCKET WITH NYLON FOAM CUT TO FIT AND GLUED INTO PLACE. THE POCKET CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE TRACTION FOR THE FRONT (STEERING) WHEELS AND PUSHED THE FRONT END BY WIND GUSTS TO AN EXCESSIVE AND DANGEROUS AMOUNT.

PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR RESTRAINTS LOCK INADVERTENTLY, DEALER HAS REPAIRED RESTRAINTS TWICE. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK THE DEALER ADDED 6 INCH EXTENSIONS TO THE FRONT AND REAR BELTS, SINCE THEN THE FRONT BELT HAS LOCKED UP TWICE FOR NO REASON. *SLC
