2008 GMC ENVOY Complaints

The contact owns a 2008 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked on several occasions with the driver's side seat belt latched, while attempting to release the seat belt, the seat belt remained locked in the buckle. The contact depressed the release button and wiggled the seat belt several times before the seat belt released. On one occasion while the passenger’s seat was occupied, the seat belt failed to release while depressing the seat belt release button. The contact exited the driver's seat and attempted to assist the passenger to release the seat belt; however, the seat belt tightened around the abdomen. The contact stated that a bystander attempted to assist, but the seat belt failed to release and became tighter around passenger’s abdomen. The contact used a pair of scissors to cut the seat belt webbing to release the passenger. The contact was unable to remove the seat belt even after cutting the webbing. The passenger was not injured and did not receive medical attention. The vehicle was taken to the residence where the contact's spouse inspected the vehicle and attempted to release the seat belt.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND IT'S HAD CONSTANT ISSUE WITH LOW BEAM LIGHTNING. WE REPLACED THE RELAY THINKING IT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT MECHANIC SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THIS CAR WAS MFG 1/08 AND I HONESTLY THINK IT WAS ASSEMBLED WITH THE 2017 PARTS THAT WERE RECALLED.

ON 10/24/2018 WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 GMC ENVOY SLT, I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION WHICH RESULTED IN MY CAR BEING TOTALED. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

FIRE UNDER THE HOOD STARTED, ENTIRE CAR BURNED IN DRIVEWAY, DAMAGING HOUSE AND A SECOND CAR

MY VEHICLE JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED DEAD, IN THE ROAD AFTER LEAVING MY RESIDENCE AND ALL CONTROL WAS LOST. UNABLE TO PUT TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH VEHICLE OFF ROAD. I HAD IT REPAIRED BY A TRAINED MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY IGNITION. I HAD THE FAULTY IGNITION REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATIONAL AGAIN ALONG WITH THE WORRY OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN.

HAVE REPLACED RIGHT SIDE FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY TWICE, AND HAVE TO REPLACE IT A THIRD TIME, IN 4 YEAR'S. GETTING BEST PART FROM O'REILLY'S AUTO PARTS. VEHICLE IS MOVING, FEELS LIKE THE FRONT WHEEL IS GOING TO FLY OFF, SHAKING, WOBBLY, JUST TOTALLY UNSAFE

THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT FOR MY HUSBAND AND HAVE SELDOM DROVE UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN HE WAS INJURED DRIVING IT. HE DROVE THROUGH OUR GARAGE AND DEMOLISHED IT. I HOW DRIVE IT AND FIND THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS THE WORST PROBLEM. NO MATTER WHAT SHOES OR BOOTS YOU ARE WEARING YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. IT HAS COST US THOUSANDS IN DAMAGE AND REPAIRS. I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES, BUT WILL OBTAIN THEM AND FORWARD THEM. THE CAR WAS JUST PULLING UP TO BE PARKED OUTSIDE BY OUT GARAGE WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURED. THE WEATHER WAS FINE-AUGUST 2017. IT WAS JUST GETTING DARK. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD ASAP UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED OR REPLACED BY GMC. MY SON DRIVES A USED GMC AND IT HAS NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE PICTURE I AM SENDING YOU IS OF (BEN), A TECHNICIAN AT BRETTING MANUFACTURING, INC. IN ASHLAND. BEN HAS ALSO BUILT DIRT TRACK RACE CARS AND I HAVE BUILT JOHN DEERE COMBINES.

02.05.2018 -- WAS AT A SUPERBOWL PARTY AND MY CAR WAS PARKED FOR 5 HOURS OUTSIDE, IT WAS ABOUT 20 DEGREES. HAD A 10 MINUTE DRIVE HOME - PARKED CAR IN GARAGE AND SHUT THE GARAGE DOOR. WHILE DRIVING, I DID USE REAR DEFROSTER AND WIPER BLADE, AS THERE WAS SNOW ON BACK WINDOW AND IT WAS SNOWING. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE,I HEARD A LOUD BLAST, LIKE SOMEONE DROVE THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. THE REAR WINDOW OF MY GMC ENVOY EXPLODED INTO MANY PIECES. GLASS WAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY GARAGE IS NOT HEATED. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT HAPPENED. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY AND AM GOING TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A GMC DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED.
