Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We have a 2004, Gmc Envoy Xuv, which we purchase brand new in 2004. Since last year winter, I noticed that my speedometer would get stuck and run erratically, which I thought at the time was due to the cold. Occasionally too, we'd come to the garage to find the rear window open and the tailgate unable to open. During those times, we were able to bring the window back up with the button inside the vehicle, as well as unlock the tailgate by locking and unlocking the doors with the remote. Also, the truck would stall during driving, especially at turns, but would start again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10342609, filed 2010-07, 72,000 miles“The rear tailgate is not operating at all. It will not latch closed, it swings down on its own. It is currently being held in the latched position by a ratchet strap. It has also swung open on its own, while it was still latching properly and the rear window has dropped itself on its own.”
NHTSA complaint #10453156, filed 2012-03, 75,000 miles“End gate would not swing open. Glass lowers. Endgate opens flat. Emergency button does not work either. Since you can not swing open the endgate you can not access the hoist drive shaft hole to allow the underbody-mounted spare tire to be lowered. Gmc dealer service tech diagnosed open in tailgate end switch. Replaced tailgate end switch on 2/21/2008.”
NHTSA complaint #10218895, filed 2008-02, 53,000 miles“- the contact owns a 2004 Gmc Envoy Xuv. The contact stated that the plastic trim molding on the top and in the rear of the vehicle which protects the retractable roof filled up with snow which changed into ice, and when the ice began to melt it expanded and high movement of the vehicle caused the vehicle's trim molding to rip apart. It broke the clips ,and pulled it right off the car. The contact stated that the more water and ice were on the vehicle the higher the speed traveled, and the more the trim ripped apart. The trim molding was held on by plastic clips. …”
NHTSA complaint #10185615, filed 2007-03, 53,000 miles“My 2004 Envoy Xuv rear tailgate has 2 broken releases in it. As you may already know, the only way to access the rear enclosed part of this vehicle is through the rear door, if there is no rear access, then you cannot get what is in the rear of the vehicle out. In my case, a dog was trapped in the back with no way of getting out the midgate window in the middle of the vehicle is too small to get the dog out. …”
