If this had happened on the roadway I believe it may have caused a serious accident as it resulted in almost total loss of steering control. The dealer was excellent with the repair, but GM was unwilling to acknowledge the defect. …”
NHTSA complaint #10235379, filed 2008-07, 48 miles“I have owned my 2005 envoy xl since june of 2006. Once, I passed 36,000 miles, I started experience lots of issues with my vehicle. I started hearing a knocking noise in the rear when I would turn on the AC and the steering was off somewhat. I had the steering fixed for around $400 but the knocking was going to cost around the same amount. Less then 10,000 miles later, the knocking noise is more persistent and is related to issues with the fuel pump. My gas hand will move to empty when I fill the tank up and will not move forward for days at a time. …”
