I traded my 2005 Ford focus 26410 miles to wade raulerson GMC on October 3, 2007 wrote two checks in the amount of 500. 00 each that they held for four weeks for a down payment. We looked at a 2004 GMC Envoy with 65,000 miles the salesman quoted us a price of 17,000 so we did the paper work the first time on the 16th we were called in again and told we had to sign more documents this time the price of the Envoy rose to 21698. 35, I asked about my 05 focus was told it sold the next day and we had to have gap protection. Payoff on my car was 12,502. 95 and it looked as if they were giving me 14900. 00 but raised the price of the truck by 4000. 00. Bad deal to begin with. The problems began. I had to return it at the end of the month in October 2007 to have the headlights, seatbelt, and motor in the window replaced, and diagnosed to find why the service engine light will not go out. Two weeks later stranded at the daycare I had to buy a new battery. On 05/05/2008 the conditioner went out. I paid the dealership over 100. 00 to tell me it would be an additional 600. 00 plus dollars to repair the mode actuator door motor. October 17, 2008 I spent 375. 02 to have both the shift control cable and gear shift lever removed and replaced. Thank god I was actually on a parking lot when the cable broke and not in traffic. Contacting wade raulerson GMC has been useless I have practically been told you bought the "lemon" as-is now it's your troubles! there should be a law against this type of business and not just for new cars. Now no-one will touch it because of the problems it is having and the large amount that's now owed. Every time the VIN is pulled I get pushed out of the door faster than I can blink. Btw the service engine light is still on and has been since I left the dealership. I?m tired of honest hard-working people being raked over the coals by unscrupulous dealers while they get protected by the "as-is" rule then laugh all the way to the bank.

First the engine started making noise and the engine light came on, the dealer replaced a belt for 200. 00. Secondly the gas gauge stopped reading fuel levels, dealer stated that the sensor was dead and would cost 300. 00 to replace. Next the engine died in the middle of the street. The vehicle will not turn over and the engine light is back on. Also they had a sunroof installed for me. A week after purchase the sunroof started to open and close even when the car was shut off, it was repaired but now I am having the same problem again.

I have a 2002 GMC Envoy. It suddenly dies at highway speeds. No engine, no brakes, no steering. And won't restart for 30 or 40 minutes. This has happened 6 times, the last 2 on I-99 and the washington beltway, where I was nearly killed by the truck behind me. While searching the net , I discovered about 12 other owners of the same vehicle who experienced the same problems. The dealer can find no problem and gm refuses to help. After a month in the shop, my Envoy was returned to me without a fix. The dealer says gm will offer no consideration. I called gm customer relations, talked to a monica cox, no help. Subsequent calls to her were not returned. This is a very dangerous vehicle as I have experienced more than once. I don't know how long my luck will hold out. The date of the event that I will indicate below will be for the last episode and is approximate. The vehicle was used but had less than 1000 miles on it when I purchased it. 953 to be exact.

We experienced, like a lot of people who posted complaints with NHTSA about engine failure in Envoys that are not even year old or over 10,000 miles. We had an experience with our 2002 Envoy where on thurs. 12/19 my husband was accelerating off of a take off ramp onto the beltway and all of a sudden he heard a loud clattering noise. He pulled over to the shoulder and could not go any further. We had it towed to the GMC dealer and they determined that there was a drive train failure with pieces found down to the six cyclinder head. They are replacing the engine with an "updated" engine, which means to me that there was a problem with the first run engines. According to complaints posted to your website this has happened to lots of people. When is the recall coming? stopping abruptly in the middle of the highway is very dangerous. Does it take someone to get killed before a recall can be done? we are in negotiations with GMC at this time. I would like a response to my e-mail.
