WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY GMC ENVOY IT WILL GO UP TO THE FULL MARK AND THEN JUST DROP DOWN PAST EMPTY AND THEN AFTER AWHILE START REGISTERING RIGHT..MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON WAY BEFORE I AM EMPTY,BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BACK IN JUNE OF 2011..I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM...HOPE GMC DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 GMC JIMMY ENVOY. I SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC AS I WAS DRIVING AND WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND THEN THEY WOULD NOT WORK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD WARNING SWITCH. THIS CORRECTED THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM. AFTER READING ABOUT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL OF THESE SWITCHES, I DISASSEMBLED THE OLD SWITCH ONLY TO FIND THAT IT ALSO HAD BRASS CONTACTS FOR THE HAZARD WARNING LAMPS. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED IN 2003 BY A DEALER. REPLACING IT WITH THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED! *TR

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT DOES NOT MOVE BACK. STUCK IN THE POSITION UP BY THE DASH. COULD CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THIS SEAT AND AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. *JB

EVERY TIME CONSUMER TAKES OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL STICK/CATCH - AUTOMATICALLY/SUDDENLY ACCELERATING. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EXAMINED VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

GAS PEDAL STICKS AND CAUSES TOO FAST OF ACCELERATION THUS CAUSING A DANGER WHEN BACKING UP OR STARTING OFF FROM A COMPLTE STOP. REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT INSTALLED INCORRECTLY MAKING CHILD RESTRAINTS NOT USABLE. SAFTEY ISSUE! *AK

THE 2000 GMC ENVOY IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRICALLY FOLDED OUTSIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS. ON VEHICLE START, THE RIGHT OUTSIDE MIRROR OF MY VEHICLE WOULD FOLD FORWARD AGAINST THE "A" PILLAR FROM ITS NORMAL DRIVING POSITION. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH DIFFERENT DRIVERS. SEVERAL TIMES THE DRIVER DID NOT NOTICE THIS HAD HAPPENED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TO USE THE MIRROR FOLD CONTROL SWITCH TO FOLD THE MIRRORS BACK TO THEIR STOWED POSITION AGAINST THE DOOR GLASS. THE MIRROR FOLD CONTROL SWITCH WAS THEN MANUALLY REPOSITIONED AND THE MIRRORS BOTH MOVED OUT TO THEIR NORMAL DRIVING POSITION. THE MIRROR FOLD CONTROL SWITCH IS AWKWARD FOR THE DRIVER TO OPERATE WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. THE DEALER SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RIGHT OUTSIDE MIRROR ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. (THIS ALSO SOLVED ANOTHER INCIDENTAL COMPLAINT THAT THE MIRROR GLASS ADJUSTMENT ACTUATORS MOVED JERKILY.) THE DEALER STATED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND ITS CAUSE WAS STILL BEING EVALUATED.

CONSUMER HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2000 GMC ENVOY REBUILT.*MR THE SUN GEAR FAILED WHICH REQUIRED THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION BE DISASSEMBLED TO REPAIR. *NM

WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF THE REAR COMPARTMENT HAS NO LIGHTING WITHOUT TURNING ON THE ENTIRE CAB LIGHTING. THIS PROVES TO BE A GLARE HAZARD AT NIGHT WHEN THE PASSENGERS IN THE REAR NEED INDIVIDUAL LIGHTING. MODELS WITHOUT SUNROOFS HAVE INDIVIDUAL LIGHTING FOR THE REAR PASSENGERS BUT NOT THE MODELS WITH. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO INTEREST IN MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE 1999 OR 2000 MODEL YEARS BY OFFERING A LIGHT KIT ACCESORY FOR THE REAR OCCUPENTS.*AK

TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN GOING INTO A HIGHER GEAR, MANUFACTURER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHOUT SUCCESS, VEHICLE SHUDDERS, HESITATES, SURGES, AND BUCKS. IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. *SLC

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE EXTERIOR MIRRORS WILL ADJUST FAR OUTWARDS, WOULD BE UNABLE TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES BESIDES OR BEHIND CONSUMER EYE SIGHT. MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE IN MIRRORS MOTOR. MECHANIC HAS REPLACED MIRRORS TWICE. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING BOTH SIDE MIRRORS WILL MOVE ON THEIR OWN. THEY WILL GO ALL THE WAY BACKWARD AND FLAT AGAINST THE CAR AND A LOT OF TIMES THEY WILL GO BACK HALF WAY, CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY, CONSUMER HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE FIXED. *YD

CONTACTED GMC AND HAD A RETURN REPLY BY CAC@GMC.COM APOLOGIZING FOR MY DISSATISFACTION OF HAVING THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THAT IN MY FAMILY WE HAVE 3 JIMMY'S AND ALL OF THEM DIFFERENT YEARS, NEEDING THE SAME REPAIR. THIS PERSON SAID THAT I COULD LOG A COMPLAINT, IN SO, THIS IS WHY I'M PASSING THIS ON TO THIS DEPARTMENT. ALSO IN LOGGING ON I'VE LISTED MY VIN # WITH THE 17 CHARACTERS. THE SIGHT LISTED THAT I WAS GIVING AN INVALID # OF LESS THAN 17 BUT, IN FACT I LISTED EXACTLY THE 17. MR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. *JB
