| I have a 2005 envoy that i purchased less than a year ago from a local chevrolet dealership. on the day of the failure, i did not drive the vehicle to work. when i returned home, i found that the back trunk hatch had somehow opened on its own, causing it to separate from the glass. the trunk hatch was broken in such a manner that it could not have been brought on by another individual or object. after noticing this defect, i contacted the dealership. the automobile was taken to the dealership the next day where they filed a claim with the warranty company. however, the service technician decided that the struts were not the cause of the defect and worked properly and could not hypothesis on why this failure had occurred. he reported this to the warranty company who thus denied the claim because they do not cover the glass on the automobile. i was displeased with the outcome and contacted both the warranty company and the gmc headquarters myself, hoping that this initiative would resolve the situation. it is my belief that there is some type of defect that caused the hatch to open on its own. the company will only replace the struts and are requiring me to pay for the glass replacement and labor for something that i neither caused nor could have prevented. *tr | |||

| My son was killed in a rollover accident on 4/18/06. he was ejected through the driver's side door in which the top part of the door was pulled away from the roof of the car during the rollover. by looking at the tire tracks of the accident, he was just entering the on ramp of the road and the tracks show no skid marks, swerving, etc, just a straight line into the ditch as if he didnt have control of the steering or brakes, possible stalling ?? both tires on the driver's side were flattened. air bags were never deployed. *nm | |||

| The rear windshield of my 2005 gmc envoy xl exploded for no apparent reason today. i lifted the full hatch (not just the window section) to place items in the back that i had purchased at home depot. i placed a can of paint, one bag, and a bag of sand in the back - nothing that was near the glass of the hatch. i then closed the hatch with enough force for it to close securely, but not with excessive force. as i walked to the driver side door to enter the car, i heard a loud pop that i thought was someone hitting the back of my car with their vehicle. as i walked around to the back, my rear window was shattered into a million tiny pieces. there were no objects or people around the window close enough to break it - it just shattered for no reason at all! the dealership says they have no record of issues with rear windshields, but i found information that differs on line. fortunately, the deductible on my insurance is only $200. however, for others, i have seen where they have had to pay up to $1500 out of pocket for the expense because the dealership refuses to replace the window. the company that is coming to replace it said the window itself costs $937, not including the installation. | |||

| Tl*- the contact owns a 2003 gmc envoy. the headlights, dashboard, and tail lights flashed randomly at any speed, this failure started in october of 2006. the weather and time of day were not factors in the failure. the dealership said that the failure was normal. there were tsbs for the failure, as well as for several others. the fuel neck had been replaced twice due to a design change. the seal around the licenses place holder came loose and had to be replaced. the brake pedal was squeaking, the contact took vehicle for service on three occasions, and replaced the serpentine belt twice, an airbag sensor, the rear wiper arm, the oxygen sensor twice ,the first time at 7000 miles. there were cruise control failures, when the contact tried to accelerate it hesitated and then surged. the weather stripping on the rear doors has been repaired three times. the abs would skip on a bumpy road and would not engage. at one point the contact could smell fuel in the passenger compartment and vehicle had very poor gas mileage, the dealer stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, but air valve became stuck and would not close. the rear door hinges squeaked. this winter it won't go to full voltage until a minute elapsed after the vehicle has been started. the original failure mileage was 3829, and the current mileage was 23700.*ak the brakes were inoperative, the belts squeaked, there was a problem with the abs, the air bag light illuminated, the cruise control didn't work properly, the rear wiper would only wipe the middle of the back windshield. a new fuel neck was installed. updated 03/15/07. *jb | |||
