I BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY HEADLIGHTS, LOW AND HIGH BEAMS, FLICKERING OFF AND ON AT RANDOM FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS UNTIL MY BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED TO DO THE EXACT SAME 7 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THEY HAVE QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER! I HAVE TAKEN THIS SUV TO 4 DIFFERENT SHOPS NOW, AND NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THE LAST MECHANIC WHO ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE, SAYS HE FOUND AN OLDER RECALL ON THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURED TAG LIGHTS BEING MALFUNCTIONED TO THE POINT IT CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE FRONT AND BACK LIGHTS. THE MAN SHOWN ME THE INFORMATION ON THIS RECALL, SEEING THE PART # IS LISTED ON THERE, I COMPARED IT TO MINE AND A NEIGHBOR'S 2002 ENVOY; WHICH BOTH OF OUR ENVOYS HAVE THESE MALFUNCTIONED PARTS. GM HAS NOT CONTACTED US BACK, AND WE'RE AT A LOSS BECAUSE IT'S A PART NEEDED FROM THEM DIRECTLY. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY ENVOY OWNERS ON A WEB FORUM, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSANDS OF ENVOYS OUT THERE WITH THESE SAME ISSUES, CAUSING ACCIDENTS ON THE ROAD WAY TOO OFTEN! IT'S DANGEROUS, AND NOBODY WILL HELP WITH THIS IRRITATING ISSUE!

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.

OVER THE YEARS I OWNED THIS VEHICLE, I HAD IT SERVICED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR ENGINE FAILURE. THE LAST AND FINAL TIME, THE DEALERSHIP (EWING AUTOMOTIVE) COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HOWEVER, WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, I LOST ALL POWER STEERING CONTROL AND THE CAR STOPPED DEAD. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LED ME TO TAKE A MINIMAL AMOUNT IN A SALE, JUST TO GET RID OF THIS DANGEROUS CAR. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO LEARN THAT GM WAS FULLY AWARE OF THIS DEADLY ISSUE.

THE ENVOY HAS 4+ OTHER RECALL ITEMS AS WELL THE GM COMPANY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSEABILITY FOR WHAT THEY LET HAPPEN AND THEY NEED TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLES THEY MADE.

A DAY AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER SEAT STARTED READJUSTING AND HEATING ON ITS OWN SO I TURNED ON AIR CONDITIONER TO COMPENSATE SINCE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE SEAT WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I DID, REAR PASSENGERS SAID THE REAR VENTS STARTED BLOWING HEAT, AND A STRANGE CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD IN THE RIGHT REAR PANEL, SO I SHUT OFF THE AIR, OPENED THE WINDOWS AND CLICKING AND HEAT SUBSIDED. HOWEVER, THE DRIVERS SEAT CONTINUED TO READJUST AND HEAT THROUGHOUT MY TRIP AND THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW HAD TO BE PUSHED UP MANUALLY ONCE STOPPED BECAUSE THE ELECTRIC OPENER FOR THAT WINDOW WAS NO LONGER WORKING.

AFTER REPLACING PCM, OIL SENDING UNIT, THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, CLEANING THE PCV VALVE AND MAP SENSOR AND MULTIPLE OTHER PARTS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS AND STATED THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE CAM SHAFT ACTUATOR (FOR A COST OF APPROX. $885), BUT THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FROM 02/14/2011 UNTIL 11/07/12 AND STILL UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC MANUFACTURER, BUT STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE MY ISSUES.

2002 GMC ENVOY SLT. ENGINE STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART FOR ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 30 MINUTES. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE PAST 4 YEARS. 4 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE ON A SURFACE ROAD. THIS TIME I WAS WITH MY WIFE AND 11 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO A SAFE LOCATION. I ENDED UP IN THE LEFT SHOULDER IN NEXT TO THE FAST LANE WITH ONLY ABOUT A FOOT OF SPACE TO MY RIGHT WHERE THE CARS WERE WHIZZING BY. I CANNOT TELL YOU THE TERROR THAT I FELT, AS MY DAUGHTER WAS IN HER CHILD CAR SEAT ON THAT SIDE AS THE CARS PASSED HONKING. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE READ MANY INTERNET POSTINGS AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS OFTEN WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, YET WHENEVER I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL I GET IS: NO CODES ARE DISPLAYED, WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, OR THEY START THROWING PARTS AT IT. SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED A FUEL PUMP AND A CRANK ANGLE SENSOR, HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY DESCRIPTION IS CLEAR. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS NORMAL, VOLTAGE IS NORMAL, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE CAN BE HOT, WARM OR COLD, IT CAN BE DAY OR NIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED IN ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS. WHAT IS WORSE IS THAT I CANNOT RESTART THE ENGINE FOR AROUND 20-30 MINUTES, PRESUMABLY THERE IS SOME SORT OF RESET ON THE COMPUTER ECM/PCM THAT OCCURS THAT GRANTS ME THE RIGHT TO NOW DRIVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY DAUGHTER, MY WIFE OR I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. I HAVE NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE EXCEPT TO THE DEALER BUT NOW THAT I HAVE A BABY, I AM LIVID. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY EVEN WITHOUT THE POWER ASSISTED BRAKES OR STEERING. I VERY MUCH WORRY ABOUT LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVERS SUCH AS MY WIFE WHO IS FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY AND HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVING FOR TWO YEARS. IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING WE WOULD HAVE.
