1) I just purchased the vehicle in oct 2026 & 3 days after purchase, it broke down in walmart parking lot due to, all the antifreeze pouring out. 2) December 2026 had to replace the front tires as they were stripped to the threads from rubbing against the fender wells. 3) January 2026 wouldn’t start, wouldn’t turn over or anything. Had the ignition replaced. Ran fine for one week. 4) currently won’t start. Broke down.

I purchased my vehicle in oct of 2021 in Nov 2021 is when my car started failing my car started to lose power also started smoking from the lower passenger side no warning lights came on besides the oil warning light since Nov 2021 my car has been losing power it only goes up to about 40 m.

I starting smelling a sweet smell in the cabin. A leak was aparrent that dripped from the inside of the cabin to the muffler later on to the pavement. The leak was discovered on a line that ran to the right rear side. Anti freeze was leaking and I was getting really sick, not even dr's could figure it out. Took a great mechanic called bernie trinidad in national city, CA; after so many missed it. Thank god.

I had three cars in front of me stopped. I did not see any breakl lights and I hit the car in front of me pushing the other cars to hit each other. My front end of my car was severely damaged bad enough to damage the radiator and destroy my ac unit. I'm not sure what else was damaged. It sent the person in front of me and myself to the emergency room. " my air bags did not deploy ". My vehicle was moving on a city street.

I have now experienced my 2005 GMC Envoy stalling while driving slowly. All of a sudden, it will just stop going and the lights on the dash flash on. Luckily, when I turn the key, it starts right back up. Going to call mechanic and see if he can figure it out.

Vehicle intermittently stalls/stops.

When backing the vehicle to leave a local restaurant, driver struck vehicle behind her. This happened so quickly that it was unknown to the driver how the vehicle traveled so quickly that driver had not even had a chance to turn the steering wheel to avoid striking the other vehicle. Driver placed vehicle in drive to pull over to assess the damage. When placed into drive, the vehicle lurched forward and continued to accelerate despite the brakes being applied. The vehicle struck a brick restaurant. Damage was also done to the interior bathroom of the facility and the business had to close to assure safety of it's staff/customers. Witness states the vehicle was obviously lurching and appeared to have a mechanical problem. The driver's foot bounced off of the brake pedal on impact lodging it underneath the brake pedal. It was also noted that neither front airbags did deploy. Driver did not seek medical attention however driver's foot was badly bruised.

I first noticed this problem when I was getting onto a highway and when I looked at my speedometer it registered 120mph. I was just merging into the lane with traffic. Then when I exited and wile waiting for a stoplight to change to green, my car registered 60 while sitting still. This had happened the winter before and then stopped. This time I had to fix it. It never stopped registering my speed incorrectly.

When backing a small trailer into garage, driver saw flames coming from hood, driver existed vehicle which soon was engulfed. Entire engine and components were totaled due to fire loss. Car a complete loss.

Fuel sensors affecting proper read out on fuel guage. Window an door lock switches on driver side door does not work properly. Works when it wants to. Clips on headlight an grill assembly constantly coming loose. I have contacted gm. About wrong fuel readings they told me the problem is fuel sensors in the tank but will not pay for repairs due to closed recall. This problem has resulted in running out of fuel mutiple times. Even though this problem and other problems has just recently started. The cost is over 600. 00 dollars that I should not have to pay. . . . .

Rear windshield/back window shatterered on it's own while parked in parking lot. Couldn't figure out why or what had caused this to happen. Took the vehicle to shop for windshield to be replaced, and when I got in the car to leave the shop the rear windshield shattered again. My daughter was in the back seat at the time and this scared the crap out of both of us. The shop could not believe this and replaced the window for a 2nd time. When I got home I googled 'GMC Envoy, rear window' and see this has happened to many others with Envoys of different year models. Something needs to be looked into here for the safety of those of us driving these vehicles.

The back passenger doors, at times, wont shut, they keep popping open. I had the parts replaced back in 2009, now it is 2013 and I have to replace again.

When rear entertainment dvd is used, there is no rear visibility. The screen blocks the rear completely and you are only able to use the side mirrors. This I feel is a major design flaw, as my other vehicle by a different manufacturer does not have the same problem.
