| Since we have this vehicle the heating system fails to work properly. we have repeatedly had the dealer and a g.m. representative try to repair this problem. after their attempts the system still doesn't operate correctly and now i am left with a defective air conditioning system that only works sometimes. i am hearing from other people that know who have this vehicle and the chevrolet version the trailblazer that they have very similar problems. in the wrong circumstances not having heat/defroster working properly could be a safety hazard, yet this fails to become a recall or alert to drivers. as far as the a/c problems my son actually got heat stroke in the back of the car on a very hot day due to the fact that only vent windows open in this area and unless the vehicle is in motion it becomes very hot in the third row of seats in this vehicle if the air is not working correctly. g.m. should fix these vehicles! i have reported my problems to the better business bureau and i am hoping to return this vehicle to g.m. early. this car has also had numerous electrical problems with the radio. i feel that since they tried to fix the heater they have screwed up something else in the electric since they had to reground the whole system and this ground has already had to be reground due to the fact that it disengaged itself from the vehicle, doesn't sound like a safe repair to me. *jb | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2003 gmc envoy xlt. the contact stated the jack that holds the vehicle up while changing a flat was locked in place which made it impossible to release and lower the vehicle to the ground. the mechanical jack had to be kicked from underneath the vehicle in order to release it. there was also a crack in the rear drivers side rim. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 73,000. | |||

| I had a flat tire and went to use the gmc provided jack and spare tire. the jack was held in by a large rubber band that broke as soon as i started to remove it. when i went to lower the spare tire down i heard a crunch come from the gear end of the spare tire pulley. the spare tire pulley, which was made of plastic, broke into pieces and wouldn't allow the tire to be lowered anymore or raised. gmc should be ashamed of themselves for providing such a lousy system on something that is obviously used in an emergency situation. nice way to save a few dollars. *nm | |||

| Dt: the contact stated the jack that the vehicle is equipped with is inadequate. the jack has two extension handles, but the extension handles are not long enough to be turned without getting under the vehicle. had a flat tire, and when the contact put the jack together she realized the jack handles were not long enough. her father had to crawl underneath the vehicle to use the handle. called the manufacturer about the jack handles ,and they stated the jack should be efficient, and if a person had to get under the vehicle, he would not be held responsible. *ak | |||
