| Bought the car 2006 was two years at that time less than a week into replaced brakes for abs failure. still happening, took it back said everything was normal. well about two weeks ago my wife was going up-hill to a stop light hit the brakes on slick pavement and the brakes locked up and abs did not kick in. causing my wife to total two vehicles that i am now being sued for one of them. *tr | |||

| Bought certified used envoy in october of 07. transmission completely stopped at 57k miles 3 months after purchase. check engine light comes on and off every couple days(have video, but sandy sansing of pensacola florida says there nothing wrong) vehicle jerks at stops and starts. after 3 trips to dealership w/ nothing wrong they finally decided that a o2 sensor was bad at 71k. envoy had been back in the shop at a cost of 80.00 bucks twice since then because of the check engine light and the brakes are failing, the abs brake light doesn't come on so they say it cant be the brakes. when trying to stop the brakes stop working and a second later they will catch and begin to stop vehicle, as if the brake system is obstructed and skips a few times. the check engine light flashes for those few seconds but doesn't stay on long and they say it isn't throwing any codes. problem doesn't happen everyday so the dealership has said its a unfounded problem. the thermostats assembly with other parts have been replaced. have all receipts and dates that i've taken this pos into the dealership. i will never buy another gmc vehicle. i have a 10 year old pickup truck also and has only been in the shop once. there's no excuse that we are driving these (expensive) unsafe vehicles!! *tr | |||

| I bought my gmc envoy in january 2004 for approx. $42,000. this car has everything. after about 2 months of the purchase, my gps went out and had been fixed twice. my brakes do not always work --sometimes they slip especially when i need them most -which is scary. gmc said that they have heard about this problem before, but did nothing to resolve the problem. the engine stalls periodically. gmc said they do not know why. the gas gauge and odometer do not work properly. when i brought my vehicle into north county gmc dealership in san diego for repairs i mentioned my gas gauge did not work along with many of the other issues. after they repaired the odometer by replacing the cluster, the gas gauge still did not work. every single time these problems happen i am forced to pay a $100 service charge just so they can look at it and because i am in sales, i am also forced to get a rental car. after all this, i am still quite displeased with gmc. i hate to say it but they are supposed to be the best american car | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated intermittently the vehicle coasts through intersections while the brake pedal is depressed. also, the brake pedal has collapsed to the floor on other occasions. in addition, the abs activates on dry pavement. when the vehicle was taken to the dealership for the abs, they replaced the control valve which caused the brake pedal to have more movement. the master cylinder was also replaced, but this did not remedy the problem. the contact feels it should be a recall issue. wisconsin state attorney general is working to get wisconsin included in 14 state recall list. updated on 06/01/2006. *ak *ts | |||
