“Out of nowhere my front head lights went out. Its not the fuse or the bulbs, both front low lights went out. The high beams work. There is no power going to the lights and I have to buy a new switch. I also had to replace the engine almost a year ago because the o rings went up. The gas gauge is broken and my passenger window will not go down. I feel so stuck with this car!”
NHTSA complaint #10343261, filed 2010-07, 100,000 miles“First the engine started making noise and the engine light came on, the dealer replaced a belt for 200.00. Secondly the gas gauge stopped reading fuel levels, dealer stated that the sensor was dead and would cost 300.00 to replace. Next the engine died in the middle of the street. The vehicle will not turn over and the engine light is back on. Also they had a sunroof installed for me. A week after purchase the sunroof started to open and close even when the car was shut off, it was repaired but now I am having the same problem again.”
NHTSA complaint #10172084, filed 2006-10, 40,000 miles“1) in both instances while pumping fuel. 2) gas gauge began to move erratically while driving. 3) first time the fuel level sensor was replaced by dealer, the second instance we were advised to use fuel additive and higher grade of gas, no difference has been detected.”
NHTSA complaint #10191857, filed 2007-05, 79,900 miles“When rear entertainment dvd is used, there is no rear visibility. The screen blocks the rear completely and you are only able to use the side mirrors. This I feel is a major design flaw, as my other vehicle by a different manufacturer does not have the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10140231, filed 2005-10“The contact owns a 2005 Gmc Envoy. The contact stated that the engine made a loud knocking noise when driving. While driving uphill, the vehicle dramatically decelerates as if the engine was stalling. The engine and oil lights illuminated on the instrument control panel. She took the vehicle to the dealer for an oil change, but the oil light remained illuminated. She took the vehicle to a local dealer four times and they reprogrammed the p.c. Another dealer stated that the engine drags when traveling uphill, which was probably due to the clutch fans. …”
