| About a year ago, my back window would sometimes just go down. after about a month the window motor started running and running trying to put the window up, although it wouldn't go up. took it to the dealer and 700 miles over the warranty...wouldn't cover it, so $400 to repair the regulator. now, the mid window is down and won't work. the quote for this is $500. after reading other complaints on this same issue - gm should supply the regulator at no cost. some peoples windows have actually exploded....now that sounds dangerous. *tr | |||

| I have a 2004 gmc envoy. it has two bucket seats and a second row bench seat and a trunk that is separated by a panel with a glass inside the panel. i guess i have rolled this window down 5 times since i have owned it and now the glass will not roll up or down. i took it to a shop and they said the part (regulator) is on back order from gm. this means only one thing that they have had nothing but problems with it. i called the dealer i purchased the vehicle and of course they honor nothing and in fact had sold out and did not know where my papers were at on the vehicle. this was the reason it took me 34 years to purchase another gm vehicle. i got burned as a green kid out of college with my first job and purchased a gm and got screwed by the sales person in the checkered coat. go figure. on top of all this, the radio face has turned from black to yellow as the paint of all things has started coming off of the radio. why was the plastic not molded black plastic instead of yellow plastic and painted. dealer said it was not under warranty as it was past the miles. well that stinks as i had the truck less than a year at that point. i travel a lot in my job and put a lot of miles on the vehicle, but that should not have anything to do with the radio or window regulator. what can i do? *jb | |||

| On 3 separate occasions sun roof stuck in an open position. dealership replaced the sun roof motor. this provided a temporary solution. also, at 6,000 miles, severe and uncontrollable vibration occurred in the entire body of the vehicle when the rear windows were opened. vibration occurred when the vehicle's speed exceeded 55 mph. dealership representative indicated after test driving the vehicle that the vibration was normal, and only one rear window should be opened at a time. consumer felt the vibration was caused by a design flaw in the rear windows.*ak | |||

| I purchased a 2004 gmc envoy xuv and have several significant problems with this vehicle. after researching it seem others have had the same troubles. since we owned the vehicle, the rear window is found down and noone was even in/near the vehicle. it continues to work but still will go down by itself. a year ago i had to replace the fuel tank, this was right after we took it in for inspection on a recall of smelling gas fumes while drving and possible corrosion in fuel lines. of course the fuel lines were not corroded so we were told. i footed the bill $800+ to get a new fuel tank ,as neck on tank was cracked and was told that this is why we smelled gas. luckily, i went to my garage and saved several hunderd dollars from the dealers cost to repair. last weekend 9/10/10 my family was driving to town and the middle window unexpectedly dropped and now does not work. i researched an it seems to be a regulator issue and will cost around $500, wow! over the last two weeks there is a rattle when we turn on our ac. again after we were in for service as we had the ac charged at the start of summer. i can see where i have the same troubles as a lot of others and feel, the same as they do, left holding the bag by gmc and no way out but, to look for a new/used vehicle and get rid of this vehicle. | |||
