Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was pulling up to park in a parking lot.I had total brake failure. The electronic safety features failed- and there was no stopping the envoy. I slid up the curb and into the building. 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.”

NHTSA complaint #10681166, filed 2015-02, 164,000 miles

“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. …”
