Example complaints

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

“Purchased the 2005 Gmc Envoy Xuv used in 2009 with 41000 miles. Within 3 months the envoy started having rear door latch failures. The rear door and glass can be opened in a traditional side door mode or a truck bed mode. Frequently the electronic latches that operate to let the door function in either way would fail. The envoy has been in several times over three years to have all the latches repaired and or replaced. Each latch has been replaced several times. …”
