| 2005 gmc envoy xl - my car has died on me while going down the road on five different occasions. it has been to the dealer twice now, and they say they can't find anything wrong. i feel very unsafe driving this car, and i am afraid my family or someone else could get hurt. looking online, i have found other envoys have done the same thing. one time it did lead to a death. i am hoping my complaint may be the one needed to do something about this dangerous problem. each time someone has taken their vehicle in for this problem they get the same response i have gotten, nothing done!! my vehicle is still under warranty and i will continue to take it back in hoping they will find the problem. please investigate this. it's very scary to be going down the road and your car just dying on you for no reason. *tr | |||

| I have owned my 2005 envoy xl since june of 2006. once, i passed 36,000 miles, i started experience lots of issues with my vehicle. i started hearing a knocking noise in the rear when i would turn on the ac and the steering was off somewhat. i had the steering fixed for around $400 but the knocking was going to cost around the same amount. less then 10,000 miles later, the knocking noise is more persistent and is related to issues with the fuel pump. my gas hand will move to empty when i fill the tank up and will not move forward for days at a time. today, my kids are complaining about the ac not working in the second and third row seats. everytime i turn the corner it seems as if there is another problem with my vehicle. *tr | |||

| Smell of exhaust while driving. noticed engine made a ticking sound which went away after engine got warm. brought vehicle into a service center and a diagnosis of a cracked exhaust was made. have noticed many other trailblazer and rnvoy owners complaints of exact same issue. because of the nature of carbon monoxide poisoning in the cab i am entering this into the safety complaint database. | |||
