THE MECHANIC THAT REPAIRED THE ENVOY HAS A WRITTEN REPORT OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS GETTING STUCK HALF OPENED AND THE BRAKE LINES BRAKING AND THERE WASN'T ANY FLUID IN SYSTEM. *TR

ON MAY 10, 2011 THE REAR SPOILER (WITH THIRD BRAKE LIGHT) FLEW OFF THE BACK OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI XL SHORTLY AFTER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS CRUSHED BY A PASSING TRACTOR TRAILER INSTEAD OF HITTING SOMEONE'S WINDSHIELD. GMC SAID THAT SINCE MY SUV WAS 6 YEARS OLD AND OVER 100K MILES I "SHOULD EXPECT " THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS. ON JULY 24, 2011 SHORTLY AFTER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE ENTIRE LIFTGATE WINDOW PULLED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. I AM ABOUT TO OPEN ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH GMC, BUT EXPECT LITTLE HELP FROM THEM. APPARENTLY THE WINDOW AND SPOILER ARE BOTH ATTACHED WITH DOUBLE SIDED TAPE ON THIS MODEL YEAR.A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW. IT IN MY OPINION IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING BEHIND ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE WINDOWS AND SPOILERS "BOLTED" INTO PLACE. *TR

THE LIFTGATE OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY XL CAME APART FROM THE BODY. THE TOP PLASTIC PIECE FIRST STARTED TO APPEAR NOT ALIGNED WITH THE ACTUAL LIFTGATE. THAT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND THE RUBBER MOLDING AROUND THE LIFTGATE BECAME WARPED. EVENTUALLY, WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THE WHOLE LIFTGATE WAS NOT ALIGNED AND I WAS HAVING ISSUES CLOSING IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE TOP MOLDING REPLACED, THE RUBBER REPLACED AND THE DOOR WELDED BACK ON PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THAT WHATEVER HELD THE LIFTGATE ON WAS RUSTED. *TR
