2005 GMC Envoy Steering Problems

“Takata recall, early morning, my power steering stopped working, so I filled it and it started working again, as I was driving down a busy road turning onto my own street, the power steering and brakes failed resulting in me crashing into a pole, and the air bags did not deploy and the seatbelt did not lock, so I flew into the steering wheel, breaking my hand.

No, it was not the battery or anything to do with the servicing of the SUV. I take care of the vehicle and I don't drive 200 miles a month. …”

“On july 28, 2014 I was going down a hill and the engine shut off completely.

I am not sure if anyone else experienced this problem with a similar vehicle. …”

“I have a 2005 Gmc Envoy denali 4x4 and 've run out of gas 3 times in the 4 years of owning this vehicle and every time the steering wheel completely locks making the vehicle unable to be moved from the place it decides to finally come to a rest at- and causing nothing short of a giant safety issue when your car is stuck in the middle of the road and you are not only trying to exit your car but not cause a collision when it is in a blind spot of a turn of other drivers on the road when it finally comes to a stop. …”

“The contact's grandmother owns a 2005 GMC Envoy XL. The contact stated that his grandmother was driving 45 MPH and while slowing down to take a curve, the steering became very firm. She was able to safely pull off the road and turn off the vehicle. The contact said she heard a whining sound coming from the power steering pump and then observed the power steering fluid in the engine compartment and power steering fluid on the road. The contact stated that she was unaware of any warning lights. …”
