| While driving at 30mph headwind and topping out a large hill, front end lifts and swerves due to a large air pocket formed by the front of the hood, the top of the radiator and grill 'fins' or 'bars', the pocket is five inches deep, 4 inches high and 4 feet wide. driver filled the pocket with nylon foam cut to fit and glued into place. the pocket caused the vehicle to lose traction for the front (steering) wheels and pushed the front end by wind gusts to an excessive and dangerous amount. | |||

| I purchase a 2002 gmc envoy 06/05 ,and about 1 month ago i heard a loud noise when i went to open my tail hatch after noticing my passenger side brake light was out. i talk to the dealer about this and was told by the body shop manager that the flap over the hatch was suppose to look like that there is a very noticeable gap,he then said that it probably had been fixed before. and during a later conversation with him he said that it was natural wear and tear. i am the owner and only driver of my truck, and i probably wouldn't have open the back hatch if i hadn't notice the brake light out which i found out is under a recall. my conversations with the dealer and also gmc have lead to no where. i took the truck to an outside repair shop who look at the hatch and also said that it had been repair before and to try to work with gmc and the dealer with getting it fixed. *nm | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated the electronic mirrors re-adjust without warning. the mirrors should maintain the last setting, but require re-adjustment every time the vehicle is driven. occasionally the mirrors re-adjust while driving making it difficult to change lanes. the vehicle was taken to a service dealer twice for repairs. the dealer replaced the mirrors and made adjustments to the electrical unit. the problem was only alleviated temporarily by the repairs and the mirrors began malfunctioning again a year ago. *nm... the mirrors will self adjust the settings. while driving the contact looked in the mirrors to change lanes and they were out of adjustment. had to constantly adjust the mirrors prior to changing lanes. also, when shutting the vehicle off, and restarted it, had to adjust the mirrors. the mirrors will not hold the set adjustment. in addition, the tailgate could only be opened with the remote, there was no other way to open the tailgate. in a situation where the contact's only exit from the vehicle was from the inside, could not open manually from the inside. *ak | |||
