2002 GMC Envoy Steering Problems

“I was in motion on a highway and the right front lower control arm seperated from the steering! It left me unable to steer or contral the vehicle. As per pictures I looked this up online after the almost lost my life breakdown , and found there has been known problem of this. And there is no recall? Not cool.”

“On this model of trailblazers and envoys there is a serious issue with the power steering line cracking on the back side if the steering shaft, causing fluid to spray out and immediate loss of power steering. When this line broke my wife was driving at highway speeds with my 4 kids in the vehicle, and she was barely able to maneuver the vehicle out of traffic to a safe spot, almost causing an accident. I have spoken with many other owners of these SUV's and found this to be a very common problem.”

“Over the years I owned this vehicle, I had it serviced numerous times for engine failure. The last and final time, the dealership (ewing automotive) could not find anything wrong. However, while traveling on the highway at 60 miles an hour with a full tank of gas, I lost all power steering control and the car stopped dead. This was extremely dangerous and LED me to take a minimal amount in a sale, just to get rid of this dangerous car. It is very disappointing to learn that GM was fully aware of this deadly issue.”

About 3 miles down the road at a speed of about 45 MPH she believed that a animal was running across the street were she tried to avoid a hit. She then reported that the car became unstable and was not controllable at all. She also reported that the car would not brake and she could do nothing she said the car drove like on ice . The car rolled over and landed in the right side of the road in a ditch. We thought ok an accident. Insurance took care of it. …”

“I am concern about safety defect that exist in my Gmc Envoy 2002. I own this vehicle since march 2002 (1 year) and it stalled 5 times already when driving. It happend 3 times when I stopped my vihicle at red traffic light and 2 times when breaking to slow down, driving downhill before a curve. This 2 times have scared me so much that I am affraid to use this car again. I drive cars for 28 years and nothing like that has happend to me in my life. Engine stops working, all lights go out and there is no control over the car whatsoever. I am happy no one got hurt in those incidents. …”
