-air conditioning issues- rear vents would blow out air but not the front!
-Fuel tank sensor- sometimes it would work sometimes it would not, it finally completely stopped working, they want $500 to fix it, I've had to put so much money into this car that I cannot stomach it so now I have to keep track of my mileage.
-check engine light goes on and off
-shuts down while driving! sometime when driving at a low speed (coming to a stop light or sign or sometime when backing out of parking space) it just shuts down (kinda stalls out?) I simply put the car in park and restart it and it will start back up.
most recent (today)- while driving my car the battery light and ABS light came on then the lights went off, all my gauges dropped and my lights, radio and power locks and doors stopped working, I could still accelerate and apply my brakes so I took exit off of the highway and as I did car completely shut down, I lost power steering and bakes I had somebody come and try to jump start the car, after a few min. of charging the battery it would turn on but as soon as I would disconnect the jumper cables it would turn off, I had to have it towed to repair shop. I am thinking I will definitely need a new alternator but I am afraid of what else may be wrong w/ the stupid car!
this car has been the worse purchase I have EVER made, I literally feel nauseous when I think about it!!!
anyone else out there have all these issues w/ their envoy?
I'm sure I have forgotten some of the issues...
Have you spoke with a dealer about your concerns? Can you please email me your VIN and current mileage? I look forward to your response.

Which then causes a chain effect... the radio dash will burn HOT when u touch it, and then my battery would start having issues ( when you plug in cell phone chargers the fuses started to blow out, cig lighter, seat adjustment would stop working, the car would keep re starting itself electronically . So I stopped using plug inlets!
He told me theres no way of fixing this issue until GM fixes it with this car model.
So about 6 months ago my speedometer stopped working, and speed control would work when it wanted to. Then my speakers blew (or so I thought, I went to have them replaced and the speakers didnt blow, it was an electrical issue and guy told me to take it to a mechanic)
NOW, my passenger door flies open when I am driving! My 13 almost flew out of the car when I was making a turn!!!! The door doesnt close when my car is in park, it only closes when the car is in driving mode! The driver seat just starts moving on its own while Im driving (and my seat driver 1 & 2 mode is off) the rear view mirrors start moving on its own.
The BEEPING in side my car NEVER STOPS!!!
I went from driving a $40,000 (used) awesome luxury car, to driving a big piece of junk that has a STRAP HOLDING MY DOOR CLOSED!
Break down~
GM didnt produce a vent or area for air to cool down the lights
electric malfunctions EVERYWHERE
PASSENGER DOOR NOT SAFE (OPENS WHILE DRIVING OR WONT CLOSE)
BEEPING INSIDE NEVER STOPS
LIGHTS TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT
CLUSTER DOESNT WORK PROPERLY
SEATS AND MIRRORS MOVE ON THEIR OWN.
Have been through 4 NEW batteries in 3 YRS!!!
Price for your & your families safety....$5,649 !!!
My cluster half works, my a/c & heat doesnt work anymore..my head lights just shut off while im driving at night, my left side passenger door just opens while Im driving (my 13 yr almost went out the door going around a turn THANK GOD HE WAS WEARING HIS BELT! The door doesnt close anymore, only when I am driving will it close. (its strapped closed with a bungee strap) The Beeping inside never stops, and my seat & RV mirrors move on their own while Im driving! My mechanic told me these issue are very common with the ENVOY, and they werent on the recall list.

Dealer called and said it was the window switch which is actually a programmable module. For some reason the fuse didn't just disable the window. I lost all power to the vehicle, the whole inside smelled like burnt wires. Should be covered by the $1,700 extra warrantee. Waiting for the dealer to confirm.
I apologize for the problems you are experiencing with your vehicle. Please keep us posted when the issue has been taken care of. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us directly.
THank you,

The second issue that I have to fight is that the extended warrentee covered the part and labor but the $47 labor to program the module wasn't covered. Well if the new part isn't going to work without the program then I don't have a repaired car now do I? That 10 second download should have been covered or not charged since they need to do it and they don't buy the program!
Thank you for the update. Sorry to hear the $47 was not covered. Please keep me posted if you experience any other problems.

I understand why you are frustrated. I see in your post that you are experiencing some concerns with your gauges - have you been in to a GM dealership for a diagnosis as of yet? Or have you already worked with Customer Assistance? We would be happy to follow up with you on this - please send us an email with more information on your situation.
Best,

can take up to 55 key turns before starter engages and engine starts......use to be related to outside temperture now it just does it whenever.....Now need to find out what electriacal circuit is common to the Air Bag and Seat Belt warning indicators on the insturment panel. This started two weeks ago. The air bag warning light and seat belt warning light stay on after starting vehicle. Fastening the seat belt has no effect on the warning light, just stays on fastened or not. Air bag has been checked and it is OK.
I do believe this will be my last General Motors vehicle of ANYKIND......Customer Support has been NO help.
Any ideas?
I have a similar issue! sometimes the car's electrical shut down while driving...then right before i put to the side...it lights back up.
The car will run perfectly fine, then when i go to lock it with the remote...the car wont lock...then when i go to start the car...it will start then bog...I am pretty sure it has something to do with the security system. If i do the 10 minute reset to my passlock key the car will start up again. What you do is put the key in...turn it two clicks...wait 10 minutes, the radio will turn on...and the car will start up...its such a waste of time...
I took it to the mechanic last weekend told them the problem...they did a scan of the car for $150 to tell me NOTHING was wrong with it. bullsh!t. I am thinking of maybe getting remote start?
What other ways can this be solved??

Please let me know...
If I was in the remote area to ski/hunt/fish or between cities, this kind of total failure could have killed us.
Also the GM's insurance coverage to provide the rental car is only after three days of repair so no rental coverage after the car was towed to get home or get back to the dealer or be able to get to work. If they have the car but are not working on it the days they have it don't count!
The car smelt burnt rubber for a month and they will not get my auto-start working because it was not a GM install, even though it was in the car and working until the fire!!! They want to sell me another one and pay for the install.

I'm really at a loss on what this can be and have no help on what could be causing it. The car looks good and rides good but is the biggest electrical POS I've ever seen. Any help or ideas would be great I'm getting tired of handing over a couple hundred for them t
I know that it must be frustrating to have so many concerns that are difficult to resolve, and I'm sorry that this has been your experience with your Envoy. If we can follow up with your dealership on any diagnostic appointments you have had, please send an email to socialmedia@gm.com with the following information:
your name/Edmunds username
phone and address
last 8 of your VIN and current mileage
the name of your involved dealership
All the best,

There should be a recall to get a fuse installed to prevent the module from drawing so much current that it can melt and a window module! A minro module failure should never shut off the the engine by effecting the logic line to the main computer. It should send a diagnostic message to the dashboard that a window module has failed.

- Check the car fax and if not on car fax try to contact the previous owners listed on the title and hope it isn't being passed around from dealer to dealer.
These cars are well made but any car that was flooded are a big risk. The VIN number should show up on an insurance claim if the owner or dealer is trying to hide this fact.
When did your dealership do the fuel module work? We're happy to check into this further if you would send more details (including your name/Edmunds username, the last 8 of your VIN and current mileage, and the name of your involved dealership) to socialmedia@gm.com

Have any of you replaced this bulb, and have you had a difficult getting out the old bulb. Any tips? Should I try gripping it lightly with some pliers? Thanks.
