RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK IS BROKE WILL NOT SHUT OR LOCK WE WERE AT THE STORE AND WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE VEHICLE WENT TO SHUT THE DOOR AND THE LATCH WILL NOT CATCH AND SHUT THE DOOR. *TR

THE LIFT GATE WARNING LIGHT MALFUNCTIONING SAYS GATE OPEN AND ISN'T LIGHT DOESN'T GO OFF. *TR

I WAS OPENING THE REAR WINDOW TO RETRIEVE BELONGINGS WHEN THE WINDOW EXPLODED GLASS FRAGMENTS ALL OVER ME AS WELL AS THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FIRST STARTED FLUCTUATING THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL HAS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. IT SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING BUT THERE WASN'T A FIRE. I'VE HAD BOTH SITUATIONS CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC STATES THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THE ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS BUT IT IS STILL AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR DOORS WERE CORRODED WHICH CAUSED THE DOORS NOT TO LATCH.

POWER STEERING HAS BEEN LEAKING. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO FIND IT HAS TWO LEAKS. ONE IN THE RETURN LINE ON TOP OF WHERE THE WHEEL WELL IS (UNDER A BIG PIECE OF RUBBER HOLDING IT TO THE FRAME), AND ONE IN THE POWER STEERING COOLER. *TR

FOLLOWING AN INDEPENDENCE DAY BASEBALL GAME AND FIREWORKS DISPLAY, I WENT TO THE PARKING LOT TO LOAD MY FAMILY AND SOME PERSONAL BELONGINGS. I OPENED THE REAR HATCH AND FELT A SLIGHT BAULKING ON THE RIGHT SIDE. IN THE NEXT FRACTION OF A SECOND A SHOT GUN SOUND WENT OFF AND THE WINDOW EXPLODED IN MY FACE RAINING HEAVY GLASS INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR AND THE PARKING LOT. MIRACULOUSLY, I RECEIVED ONLY A MINOR CUT ACROSS MY EYEBROW, BUT A LARGE CHUNK WAS CUT OUT OF THE THUMB OF MY RIGHT HAND FOR WHICH I HAD TO GO TO URGENT CARE AND MAY HAVE TO CONSULT WITH A PLASTIC SURGEON AS IT HEALS/ SCARS IN ORDER TO RETAIN FLEXIBILITY IN MY THUMB. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS AND WINDOW CONTROLS HAVE CEASED TO OPERATE. EVIDENTLY FLUID MAY ENTER THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, CAUSING CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE DOOR MODULE WHICH CAUSED THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SHORT MAY ALSO CAUSE OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD MELT COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR MODULE, PRODUCING AN ODOR, SMOKE, OR A FIRE. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A RECALL FROM GM AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, IF IT IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, A PROTECTIVE COATING WILL BE APPLIED. IF THE MODULE IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, IT WILL BE REPLACED. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 12180. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO MY AUTOMOBILE...MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH, GAS GAUGE WENT COMPLETELY DOWN TO E WITH A FULL TANK. THE NEEDLE WAS BASICALLY READING IN THE SAME POSITION AS WHEN IT IS IN THE OFF POSITION. AFTER THAT HAPPENED THE VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER STARTED READING INCORRECT SPEEDS I WILL BE AT A DEAD STOP AND AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY SPEEDOMETER WILL BE READING 75 MPH STUCK. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2007 APPROXIMATELY AND LISTED CERTAIN GM VEHICLES BUT THIS ONE WAS NOT INCLUDED. I THINK THAT GM NEEDS TO LOOK AT THIS AFFECTING OTHER MODELS AND MAKES THEY REPLACED SOME VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE STEP MOTOR IN THE CLUSTER GAUGE. IF YOU TAKE THE GM DEALERSHIP THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU $500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR ON A ISSUE THAT IS BEING REPLACED ON OTHER MODELS. PLEASE PLEASE GET THIS TO BE RECALL THIS IS A ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT VERY BAD IN A ACCIDENT. *TR
