Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was doing preventative maintenance on my 2005 Gmc Envoy and while I had the passenger side wheel off I had noticed a fairly large rusted hole in the side of the frame to the left of the shock tower. I couldn't believe that a 2005 vehicle had frame rust that went clear through the vehicle. I have a 1981 jeep that I use as a farm vehicle doesn't even have frame rust through. I am sure that before this vehicle is paid off it will have a broken frame soon. I just checked the hole yesterday and it is getting larger. Very poor metal used in these frames. Not satisfied. …”
NHTSA complaint #10648127, filed 2014-10, 110,000 miles“Rear suspension on my 2005 Gmc Envoy denali has an air load leveling system. It continuously deflates. Manufactures owners manual says after 3 days of non-use will it deflate. While driving, the air compressor starts intermittently to inflate it back up. This started in october of 2008, and continues to this day.”
NHTSA complaint #10277614, filed 2009-07, 48,000 miles“In march 2012 I had motor mounts installed on my 2005 Gmc Envoy at the dealership jay Gmc buick columbus georgia. On august 26,2013 they are telling me I need new motor mounts because of the age of vehicle and miles they need to be replace. I guess parts are old and professional installing is old to. During this same time had a tune-up {major} and now have to have coil and plug install. This make it seem paying for professional serve is a waste of time. My fuel injector also needs cleaning again. In the future I can only expect 40,000 miles on anything fixed by dealer.”
