| The gear shift selector cable became disengaged from the transmission while backing out of a parking spot. according to my mechanic, there is a small plastic bushing that became brittle and fell off causing the failure of the cable to maintain a connection with the transmission. this caused my transmission to become locked in the park position and unable to be moved into any other drive. while i was in a safe location, i'm concerned that other drivers in similar situations will become stranded in locations that are not safe. i conducted a recall search and found that this item has not been recalled. i placed a call to general motors and lodged a complaint. according to gm, they have received a number of complaints about this issue but are not issuing a recall at this time. i asked gm to provide me the number of complaints they have received about this and they declined to give me that information. i am seeking to file this complaint, have it reviewed, and determine whether a recall should be issued for this vehicle. | |||

| While driving, several indicator lights came on in the instrument panel. (abs, seatbeat, battery primarily) these lights stay on for a while and then go off, one by one. after putting the car in park, the battery life meter dropped to zero. i turned the car off and the car would not re-start. after having it towed to a repair shop, the battery itself tested that it was good. i replaced the battery, anyway, hoping it solved the issues, but the lights on the instrument panel continue to turn on while driving. after a day or so, they turn off and then days later will come on again. i have had this car checked multiple times by two different repair shops and neither could find a solution outside of replacing the instrument panel. after searching the internet, this seems to be a known problem with this car and other gmc models have been recalled for the same problem. why hasn't the envoy been included? it's obviously a problem with this model as well. (although, other than the airbag recall, i have never received notices about any other recalls regarding my vehicle even though it appears there have been other issues) | |||

| My vehicle was making a jet like sound on start up and while driving and eventually the check engine light came on. it also was making a clicking sound from the electronic heating unit. i took it in to a certified gmc dealer and they said the clutch fan needed to be replaced (expensive repair). could not tell where the clicking was coming from at the time (1/6/11 clicking will not stop - ended up being a door actuator). i did some research on these problem and they are very common in these vehicle. i called gmc customer service to make a complaint because at a little over 59000 miles these parts should not have gone bad. i wish gmc would consider a recall on this problem as well as other major things. | |||

| The odometer has been malfunctioning fotr 2 years it will work and sometimes it will not. i would be going in speeds of over 50mph and the odometer would read 20mph. or i would go about 30mph it would read100mph or over. it will erractically do this. sometimes it works fine. i have not fixed the problem yet. it is working right now. | |||

| 2003 gmc envoy. the speedometer only works intermittently. it may stick in one spot. other times it is consistently off by a given speed. the next day it may be working fine. this has been going on for over a year and seems to be occurring more frequently as the vehicle ages. the internet is littered with others all having the same issue. it looks like a us district court awarded owners of many other gm models with the same issue a settlement (see http://www.gmspeedometerrecall.com/). the envoy was not included, although the issue is the same. cost for repairing is apparently in the $700 range. as for consequences, i see 2 possibilities. i could receive an unwarranted speeding ticket. the other consequence is the major distraction it causes. the only way to tell if it is working at times is to watch it closely. if the needle isn't moving when i accelerate i know not to trust it. drivers shouldn't be staring at their speedometer when driving. | |||
