1) I just purchased the vehicle in Oct 2026 & 3 days after purchase, it broke down in Walmart parking lot due to, all the antifreeze pouring out. 2) December 2026 had to replace the front tires as they were stripped to the threads from rubbing against the fender wells. 3) January 2026 Wouldn’t start, wouldn’t turn over or anything. Had the ignition replaced. Ran fine for one week. 4) Currently won’t start. Broke down.

The contact owned a 2005 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, another vehicle driven by a drunk driver swerved into the front of the vehicle, causing a front collision. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact hit his face again on the steering wheel, but did not seek medical assistance. The contact's wife, who was occupying the front passenger seat and wearing a seat belt, was severely injured and was transported to the hospital by ambulance. The contact's wife was diagnosed by a trauma surgeon. The contact's wife was diagnosed with a fractured right knee cap, right ankle bone chips and ligament damage, damaged left toes, a double bone bruise in the left knee, bruised seat belt mark. The contact's wife was hospitalized for 6 days and was admitted to a rehabilitation facility for 11 days. The contact stated that his wife was currently confined to a wheelchair. The contact's wife was currently awaiting a knee replacement. The vehicle was towed and totaled. A police report was filed. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 270,000.

On steering wheel where the GMC logo is . Melted/Melting from underneath. Some type of clear color gooey. Have been told it is seal for airbag. Also none of the chimes are not working at all example * seat belts, door,blinkers,dashboard chimes *dummy lights*,along with Bose stereo. Last issues are REAR VIEW MIRROR... KEEPS FALLING OFF. have taken to dealership SEVERAL TIMES! Now they are saying that I need to contact my auto insurance provider to put in claims.

The driver side window control caught fire, while the vehicle was sitting overnight. It was sitting by itself without reason to catch fire, but it did burn inside the driver side door.

i was driving down hwy then all of a sudden i see n my rear view mirror that im dragging my passenger side quarter panel .. so i pulled off then took the rest of quarter panel off .. start driving again then i keep hearing the same noise .. i pulled off again & noticed that the tread on my tire had completely peeled off the tire itself.. tire still is hiolding air … i cant fathom the idea how it did this.. the body of my car rear passenger side is completely demolished..

The contact owned a 2005 GMC Envoy. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH the entire dashboard illuminated and needles on gauges had begun to move independently. The contact heard an abnormal "popping" sound from the front end of the vehicle and gray smoke was emitted from under the hood, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to pull off of the roadway and placed the vehicle into park (P) with difficulty. The contact exited the vehicle and moved away towards the rear end. The contact stated that she noticed flames under the vehicle located at the front end. The contact stated that within 3 minutes of observing the flames under the vehicle, the entire front end became engulfed by flames. The police and fire department arrived on the scene. The contact stated that the fire department used a chemical to extinguish the flames, the contact stated that the flames had burned not only the front end and front tires but the front part of the passenger cabin including the seats. The contact stated that the highway patrol wrote a report and had been informed by the fire department that the fire appeared to have been caused by the electrical system. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Unknown All the cluster panels quite working. RPM, Speed, Oil, Water, Gas shows always empty. Danger because have to guess my speed and never know if I have enough gas, oil, or water in my car. Also sometimes when I shut off my car I cannot get the key out of the steering column. Cannot leave my car without my keys.

My brother was driving down the street, no bumps no potholes, both side airbags just deployed for no reason at all.

I purchased my envoy from a used car lot with no warning lights and no apparent safety concerns about 2 yrs ago other then what appeared to be a replaced front bumper cover and the vehicle was repainted the same color white, since then the brakes have intermittently not disengaged on one side or the other I believe it's the front brakes and seems to be worse after a longer drives and after bleeding the system the pedal would be firm and next day spongy feeling and going down rather far. Air bags did not deploy apon impact. It is available for inspiration although I am attempting to repair it after my accident the brakes are still as they were. I have tried both on as well as performance pads and rotors booster check valve and fluid replacement with no change. I was coming back from my daughter's dentist appointment it is 20 minutes away the roads were very slick with snow and sleet, I got off the hwy and coming through town I braked to slow from 45 to 35mph before crossing the intersection when I let off the brake the left side stayed engaged enough to cause the vehicle to pull to the left and I couldn't steer straight because of the snow and was forced to hit 2 traffic light posts in the center median. Usually on dry roads I can tap the pedal and keep it straight until the brakes released. I first noticed it changing pads when I 1st purchased it that the front tires spin harder while jaked up and when it continued I figured it was alignment or steering components worn but even after parts replaced a 2 alignments nothing changed, after my last alignment the technician said the brakes need to be bled and I told him the issue he was unsure the cause. I did not have any air bags deploy in this accident and the sensors were clearly effected as the bumper caved in the center. The vehicle also has had uneven ride height due to independent sensors in the rear. The vehicle now has a service airbag and service brakes light. Other owners have similar issues with their envoys

I just want to add to my recent complaint made December 2021 file number 11444000 when our left side brake failed to disengage completely causing the vehicle to vear left into 2 traffic light poles. recently have the front end rebuilt and noticed the seat belts needs to be replaced or rebuilt but the passenger side belt is retracted so hard I cant get it off the seat, it is crushing the seat basically and I see other complaints of this happening and almost suffocating the passenger. I was lucky my wife was not with or the belt would have pinned her in, the driver belt is stuck as it was when i removed it.

I purchased my vehicle in oct of 2021 in Nov 2021 is when my car started failing my car started to lose power also started smoking from the lower passenger side no warning lights came on besides the oil warning light since Nov 2021 my car has been losing power it only goes up to about 40 m.p.h I have been smelling fuel coming from some where my tail and license plate light and back driver side inside car light stopped working the engine light turns on and off the steering wheel makes the car lose a little bit of power when I turn the wheel or when I roll up and down the windows or adjust my seat my ac does not work the back ac turns on by it's self to the heater does not work when I have it turned all the way to the 5 I hear clicking knocking noises in the back passenger side of the car my fuel injectors had puddles of oil in them the car gets really hot and blows hot air the engine is always hot the seatbelt lights are constantly flashing my check engine light as of today flashes on and off and the car jumps also my car caught on fire under the hood where the O2 sensor is started smoking than caught on fire.

The contact's grandmother owns a 2005 GMC Envoy XL. The contact stated that his grandmother was driving 45 MPH and while slowing down to take a curve, the steering became very firm. She was able to safely pull off the road and turn off the vehicle. The contact said she heard a whining sound coming from the power steering pump and then observed the power steering fluid in the engine compartment and power steering fluid on the road. The contact stated that she was unaware of any warning lights. The contact took the vehicle to a local service station and filled the power steering pump reservoir and drove the vehicle to her residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the power steering fluid was still leaking from the vehicle. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 05V455000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.

All the gages have stopped working correctly. They do not report proper information to driver . The electrical wiring to the rear wiper, license plate lights and rear hatch stopped working. The most dangerous thing is the ABS brake system dash lights and bell comes on every time the car is driven and the brake pedal goes to the floor when trying to stop.

This suv made a loud sound, began to drift, in the rear, at hwy speeds before it tipped over and began to roll, ejecting my two minor sons from the passenger cab before it eventually landed on its side. the roof was molded in a triangular shape, preventing it from resting on the roof as it tilted back onto inside and remains after the last roll The triangular shape was created in the metal after the stabilizing structures gave way almost immediately providing possibly no protection to the patrons inside the carrier cab of suv. demonstrating its inability protect its occupants.

DIM LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING NOT WANTING TO STAY ON

WHILE DRIVING IN A 40 MPH ZONE I GLANCED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT READ 70 MPH! I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN BEFORE I REALIZED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATION WAS INACCURATE. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE RESUMING NORMAL OPERATION. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTICED THE GAUGE "STICKING" WHEN LETTING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CREATING AN UN-SAFE CONDITION FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE SPEED INDICATION IS TRULY ACCURATE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER GM MODELS MADE DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

WHILE PROCEEDING TO TAKE A LEFT TURN AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A T INTERSECTION BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON THEIR OWN. THIS SCARED MY WIFE TO DEATH! IT CAUSED HER TO BUMP THE CURB WITH ONE IF THE TIRES ONLY, NO ACCIDENT. THANKFULLY SHE WAS OFF WORK AND THE KIDS WERE ALREADY AT SCHOOL AND NOT WITH HER AT THE TIME! I CALLED GM IMMEDIATELY AND REPORTED THIS. AN INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED AND LASTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FINDINGS WERE CONFIDENTIAL AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE REPAIRING MY VEHICLE! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. MY WIFE SUFFERED A MINOR HEAD INJURY, SCARE OF HER LIFE NOT TO MENTION WE WERE NOT PROVIDED WITH A RENTAL, COMMUNICATIONS WERE POOR AT BEST WITH OUR CAR WORKER AT GM. SHE WAS EVEN OUT SICK FOR A WEEK, IT TOOK ME 4 DAYS FOR SOMEONE TO FINALLY TELL ME THAT. THE ENVOY IS A 2005 AND WAS BOUGHT NEW AND HAS BEEN WITH OUR FAMILY EVER SINCE. LOW MILEAGE JUST TURNING 100K. VERY WELL CARED FOR. I AM FLOORED THAT GM IS NOT REPAIRING OUR BABY! I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME ONLINE. I TRULY FEEL GM IS DECEIVING THE PUBLIC TO A BIGGER PROBLEM. HENCE THE REASON THEY STATED THE FINDINGS ARE CONFIDENTIAL. I JUST WANTED OUR BABY REPAIRED.

MY VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASED WAS ALTERED FROM CLOTH SEATS TO LEATHER BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. 3 DAYS AGO MY CAR IS SIGNALING ME TO SERVICE AIRBAG WHILE DRIVING THE CAR OR IN IDLE. SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AT MEINEKE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON MY YEAR, MAKE & MODEL SUV. I CALLED GM ON 11/29/2019 AND WAS TOLD BY A SUPERVISOR NAMED ANGEL THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS BY THEIR MANUFACTURER AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE SHE CAN DO ABOUT THE MATTER. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THIS KNOWING THIS CAN BE POTENTIALLY HARMFUL AND HAZARDOUS.

ABOUT 4 YEARS I NOTICED MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES WOULD NOT WORK AT NIGHT, FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON, BLINDING OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID IT MAY COST $500 TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I COULD NOT AFFORD THIS EXPENDITURE. I TRY TO AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT AND ONLY RECENTLY I HAD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND AGAIN MY LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT WORK, FORCING ME TO AGAIN DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. MY FIANC DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS FUSE/RELAY. WE LEARNED WE COULD PULL OUT THE HIGH BEAM FUSE/RELAY WHICH IS IDENTICAL TO THE LOW BEAM AND SWITCH THEM. UPON DOING SO, THE LOW BEAMS ONCE AGAIN WORKED.

PARKED VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE AND WENT IN THE HOUSE. NEXT MORNING WENT TO USE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE REAR HATCH GLASS HAD EXPLODED. GLASS EVERYWHERE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN MOVED FOR OVER 12 HOURS. HAVE CALLED TO HAVE GLASS REPLACED BUT HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES. NOW AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. MAJOR CONCERN IS IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND HAVE MY GRAND CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AND GET INJURED FROM FLYING GLASS.

BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING; THE LIGHT BULBS WORK, BUT WHEN YOU PUSH IN THE BREAKS NEITHER BACK BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. THE ONLY WORKING BREAK LIGHT IS THE MIDDLE TOP ONE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I STARTING SMELLING A SWEET SMELL IN THE CABIN. A LEAK WAS APPARENT THAT DRIPPED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CABIN TO THE MUFFLER LATER ON TO THE PAVEMENT. THE LEAK WAS DISCOVERED ON A LINE THAT RAN TO THE RIGHT REAR SIDE. ANTI FREEZE WAS LEAKING AND I WAS GETTING REALLY SICK, NOT EVEN DR'S COULD FIGURE IT OUT. TOOK A GREAT MECHANIC CALLED [XXX] IN NATIONAL CITY, CA; AFTER SO MANY MISSED IT. THANK GOD INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD JUST DROVE MY TRUCK THE NIGHT BEFORE HEADLIGHTS WORKED FINE. I WENT TO LEAVE THE NEXT NIGHT AND NO HEADLIGHTS AT ALL. SO VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I REALIZED I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS ON AT NIGHT. I HAVE NO REGULAR HEADLIGHTS AT ALL. THEN MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW JUST QUIT WORKING AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING, LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WILL TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING...HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS STILL FUNCTION

A WHILE BACK, WE NOTICED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT THAT OUR LIGHTS SEEMED TO BE FLICKERING (LOW BEAMS). IT WOULD DO IT OCCASIONALLY, BUT WE NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE HAD THE LIGHTS GO COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING, AND HAD TO TURN THE FOG LAMPS ON TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS OF ANY SORT. TONIGHT, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, AND I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS GOING TO HAVE MY HUSBAND COME OUT AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON IF HE COULD. WHILE I SAT THERE WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND IN PARK, AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES, THEY CAME BACK ON. I HAVE READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LIGHT MODULAR FOR 2006+ ENVOYS, BUT MINE IS A 2005, AND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HEARD THE RECALL WAS FOR. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT THE 2005 TRAILBLAZERS WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT NOT THE ENVOYS????

MY ACCIDENT WAS MAY 25TH 2018, MY BACK PASSENGER WENT OFF OF A SOFT SHOULDER THROWING ME INTO 2 TREES, I HIT FIRST ONE AND SEATBELT CAME APART BUT STILL OVER ONE SHOULDER HITTING SECOND TREE AND ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME WAS MY RIGHT FOOT WAS UNDER THE BRAKE AND NOT ON IT, I HIT MY HEAD ON WINDSHIELD CAUSING ME TO HAVE VISION PROBLEMS, SEVERE WHIPLASH, AND RSD IN RIGHT LEG, I HAVE TO HAVE CANE, WALKER, OR POWERCHAIR, MY HUSBAND WANTS A DIVORCE BC OF MY DEPRESSION, MY KIDS GET FUSTRASTED BC I FORGET I SAID SOMETHING AND I CONTINUE TO REPEATEDLY SAY THING, I NEVER HAD NONE OF THIS WRONG WITH ME TILL THIS ACCIDENT AND MONIQUE HILL IN CLAIMS SAYS NONE OF MY INJURIES NOR MY FAMILY PROBLEMS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND I DIDN'T HIT SENSORS, I NEVER HAD A SEATBELT ON BUT IF THAT WAS THE CASE THAT DING SOUND WOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED! MY LIFE HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED AND I'M LOSING MY FAMILY BC OF A ACCIDENT

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN DRIVE WHEN IT HAD A UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH A GARAGE WHERE IT WAS BEING PARKED. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE RESULTED TO THE HOME AND VEHICLE. NO INJURIES.

THE GAS GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. THERE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER COMES ON BY ITSELF. THE RADIO PLAYS LIKE IT IS IN A TIN BOX. EVERY SO OFTEN IT WILL PLAY NORMAL. BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS MOVING OR IN PARK.

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL HAS THE SAME RECALLED MASTER WINDOW SWITCH UNITS AS OTHER RECALLS, BOTH SIDES FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS BURNT WITH A BAD SMELL AS I WAS DRIVING. WHY? WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHEN EVERYTHING IS THE SAME AS OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES ?? I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL WITH NOWHERE TO PULL OVER FOR A FEW MILES IN GREAT PANIC WITH CARS GOING PAST ME AT 65 MPH PLUS AS I WAS BEING CAUTIOUS TO GET TO AN EXIT SO I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WAS THE DOOR SWITCH SO I LIFTED IT OUT OF THE DOOR AND UNPLUGGED IT SO I COULD CONTINUE MY TRIP. SCARY SITUATION . PLUS MY MECHANIC CAN'T GET THE ANSWER IF JUST REPLACING THE SWITCH WILL MAKE IT WORK OR DOES IT NEED PROGRAMMED INTO THE COMPUTER ?

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 50MPH ON A HIGHWAY BECAUSE A RELAY IN THE FUSE BOX OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE FUSE BOX. I KNOW THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE TRAILBLAZER FROM THE SAME YEAR BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME CAR BUT THERE IS NOT ONE FOR THE ENVOY.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN MOVING ON CITY ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE THE CAR THE LOW BEAMS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK.

SUV DIES AND WON'T START BACK UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. I WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH ON A FIVE LANE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE JUST DIED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND IT COULDN'T BE DIAGNOSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE DRIVER WAS FLAGGED DOWN BY ANOTHER DRIVER WHO NOTICED SMOKE UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE POLICE, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, AND FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. BOTH FIRE AND POLICE REPORTS WERE FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY DIAGNOSED THAT THE FIRE WAS STARTED BY A FRACTURED FUEL LINE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

THE VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AT NIGHT WILL DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, I AM A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE HEADLIGHT RELAY THAT IS OVERHEATING. THIS IS THE SAME GM PART THAT IS BEING RECALLED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES. GM PART # 15016745. SO WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED IN 05 . THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AT RANDOM THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED IT DOES NOT MATTER.

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY DENALI 4X4 AND 'VE RUN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES IN THE 4 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE AND EVERY TIME THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKS MAKING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE MOVED FROM THE PLACE IT DECIDES TO FINALLY COME TO A REST AT- AND CAUSING NOTHING SHORT OF A GIANT SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR CAR IS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND YOU ARE NOT ONLY TRYING TO EXIT YOUR CAR BUT NOT CAUSE A COLLISION WHEN IT IS IN A BLIND SPOT OF A TURN OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WHEN IT FINALLY COMES TO A STOP. I LIVE IN NH AND THERE ARE MANY MOUNTAIN LIKE AREAS AND IF IT EVER HAPPENED AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL OR A WINDY MOUNTAIN ROAD I'D PROBABLY BE DEAD. LAST WEEK I HAD A FULL TANK AND WAS TURNING OUT OF MY WORK AND THE WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND I ENDED UP GOING UP OVER A CURB ONTO SOMEONES LAWN AND MISSING THEIR HOME BY A FEW FEET-NOT OKAY. I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 20 MPH THIS TIME AND THE PREVIOUS TIMES WERE ON CITY ROADS ALL GOING BETWEEN 40-60 MPH.

RECEIVED A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FAULT CODE THAT CAME UP WAS PO128 ( INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE - ECT ) UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAULT ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS GENERALLY CAUSED BY A "STICKING" COOLANT THERMOSTAT. THIS CONDITION ALSO RESULTS IN POOR HEATING POOR HEATING OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AS I HAVE FOUND. GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNER!

FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC. AFTER I FILL UP THE TANK, THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, THE GAUGE IS ON EMPTY AND THE MESSAGE "LOW FUEL" DISPLAYS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY.

I'VE HAD MY 2005 ENVOY FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND HAD MY HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND FREWAY. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AY NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY FOR A FEW SECONDS. I WAS SO SCARED WSS REALLY GLAD FOR NO ONE BEHIND ME OR ON COMING TRAFFIC. ON ANOTHER OCCASSION I HAD TO PULL OVER ON CITY STREET AS MY LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF AND I COULD SEE THE CAR AHEAD WAS A COP AND I DIDNT WANT HIM TO THINK I WAS FLASHING FOR HELP ESPECIALLY AT 2 IN THE MORNING. IVE ALSO HAD TO EXIT THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY LIGHTS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AND ON AND WASNT SURE IF THEY WOULD JUST GO OUT COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SINCE IT WAS NIGHT TIME I DIDNT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND HURTING SOMEONE ELSE OR MYSELF. I HAVE A TEENAGE DAUGHTER AND AM AFRAID TO TRANSPORT HER AND HER FRIENDS IN MY CAR.

MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED SHOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. EVEN WHEN IT IS FULL, IT STILL SHOWS THAT IT IS EMPTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR LOW BEAM HEADLAMP FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE HEADLAMP RELAY INDEPENDENTLY, BUT THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS NOTICED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

I HAD THREE CARS IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. I DID NOT SEE ANY BREAKL LIGHTS AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME PUSHING THE OTHER CARS TO HIT EACH OTHER. MY FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BAD ENOUGH TO DAMAGE THE RADIATOR AND DESTROY MY AC UNIT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE WAS DAMAGED. IT SENT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME AND MYSELF TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. " MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ". MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON A CITY STREET.

FUEL LEAKED EVERYWHERE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PIPE, HOSE AND MORE PIPES. REPRESENTATIVES AT GMC ADVICED ME THAT OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME TANK HAS RECALLS AND MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL! I CALLED GMC MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY OPENED AND CLOSED THE CASE WITHOUT ANY INVESTIGATION AS THEY PROMISED! I PAID $991.55 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN A RECALL. I BELIEVE IT IS RECALL ID 12V459000 JUST BASED ON MY INTERNET SEARCHES. GMC IS DENYING ME AN INVESTIGATION! PLEASE HELP ME ONE CASE # OPENED WITH GMC WAS [XXX] I DON'T KNOW WHERE I CAN GET MY $991.55 BACK AND GMC KEEPS BRUSHING ME OFF AND DISMISSING ME. IT IS TERRIBLE!

STALLING OUT IN INTERSECTION,FUEL GAGE AND SPEED ODOMETER ,AIR BAGS DEFAULTING,SHACKING IN FRONT END , WHEN DRIVING. VERRY DANGEROUS.

CAR WAS PARKED FOR 10 MINUTES WHEN WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE INTERIOR UPON OPENING THE CAR DOOR WE REALIZED THE DASHBOARD WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.
