“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!”

“2005 Gmc Envoy has developed multiple problems. The driver side front seat side cover was coming off and the passenger side front window was inoperative. Both issues were recurrent.”

NHTSA complaint #10135604, filed 2005-08, 212 miles

“I purchased a 2005 Gmc Envoy in september 2005. In the past year (since january 2007, at least), I have experienced several problems with my vehicle. The first problem is with the headlights. Everytime I have driven the vehicle the headlights appear to dim/flicker and then return to normal. This has resulted in oncoming vehicles turning their bright lights on me thinking my brights are on when in reality my headlights are dimming and then returning to normal. The second problem concerns the passenger side airbag. …”

“The only problem is with the memory seats and mirrors. On prior year envoys, when you pressed the unlock button on the remote, the seats and mirrors would recall to that drivers position. Now you have to push the 1 or 2 button on the door, while in park, to recall the seat and mirror positions. There is no tie with the remote and the memory seats. I don't know why GM would do away with this feature, but it is very inconvenient and in my opinion - a big step backwards.”
