Door Latch problems of the 2002 GMC Envoy

The contact owns a 2002 GMC Envoy. While driving approximately 35 mph, the rear passenger side door opened independently. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where a bungee cord was used to secure the door in a closed position. The dealer replaced the latch assembly. The vehicle was previously repaired according to NHTSA campaign number: 01v158000 (structure) in 2006. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 232,000.

The contact owns a 2002 GMC Envoy. The contact was unable to access the rear driver and passenger doors because they failed to unlatch and latch propely. The failure was contributed to the closure latch assembly. The vehicle was previously repaired according to NHTSA campaign id number 05v494000 (latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch); however, the remedy did not correct the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000 and current mileage was 150,000.

I have had a intermittent rumbling sound in the drivers compartment like the doors are not closed properly. I have checked doors closed but yet it still happens. Took back to dealership and they could not find a problem. The fuel gauge is reading incorrectly, at a half a tank of fuel the gas hand will intermittently move up or down. Also Nov. 2006 a high pitch squeal from the front of vehicle while driving between 1 and 40 mph.

Rear door latches seize and do not latch the door closed. Intermittent problems with all the door latches in this vehicle occurs from time to time.

In a matter of one weeks time we had 2 door locks fail on the passenger doors of our GMC Envoy xl. The latch that closes the door failed and one of the doors opened while driving the car. I had the first latch on the passenger rear door replaced on September 20th and the same thing happened with the driver side rear door on September 25, 2005. This time I was not driving just putting my child in his car seat and the door would not close. I am talking with gm about this problem because the dealership told me they have changed quite a few of these. This is a major safety issue and needs to be a recalled item. I only had the car 3 years and a part that can cause such a deadly consequence should not wear out. This needs to be investigated.

Rear passenger side door was defective and was replaced at least 3 times. Since the last repair the door lock was defective again. Consumer took the vehicle back to the dealer for the same repair. Currently, passenger's rear door was defective as well.

The vehicle's rear passenger side lock broke without warning. As a result, the door would not close and owner had to tape it shut. The cause has yet to be determined.

The has been concerned about the facted that both rear doors have intermittently flew open on different occasions when making a turn, even when the child proof lock was activated. Vehicle was taken to the dealer and both doors were corrected.

Transmission does not work properly. Have had it repaired twice, but still vibrates, and fails to move vehicle forward at times, from a dead stop. Is very dangerous at intersections where moving quickly is imperative. Also wiring problems which operate various remote instruments (mirrors, seats, etc. ) fear of fire. Rear door latch was replaced - clicks "locked/unlocked" while driving. Seats move on their own while driving.

All 4 doors unlocked without warning. Problem occurred most when the temperature was cold.
