2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

ROUGH IDLE WHILE IN PARK AND WHILE SHIFTING TO SECOND GEAR. ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, OIL IN SPARK PLUG WELLS, CYLINDER MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #4. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS & WIRES, THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. I HAD THE SUV FOR 1 MONTH AND THE DRIVE TRAIN WENT BAD. TWO MONTHS LATER, I GOT MY TRUCK BACK FROM THE MECHANIC BECAUSE PARTS NEEDED TO BE CERTIFIED BY A GM ENGINEER. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT MECHANICAL FAILURES SINCE 2010 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. NOW I HAVE AT LEAST FIVE TROUBLESHOOTING CODES AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS REPLACED. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AND I KNOW NOW THAT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. *TR

WE WERE AGAIN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5 AT 60 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. WE WERE ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME OUR ENVOY JUST STOPPED RUNNING AT 60 MPH. AGAIN, THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. I HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME, BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE DATE. SO THAT MAKES THREE TIMES OUR 2002 GMC ENVOY SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING WHILE AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. WE ARE CONCERNED THIS IS AN IGNITION PROBLEM LIKE WITH THE OTHER GM VEHICLES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. *TR
