Failure Date: 09/05/2017

Only 8 years old and 140,000 miles the exhaust manifold has cracked allowing exhaust fumes to enter the interior of the car. I have had no accidents with this car and I see no reason why the manifold should crack. I have had cars longer then this that never had this problem. Manifolds should not just crack.

4 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem of the 2008 GMC Envoy

Failure Date: 06/03/2014

Our 2008 GMC Envoy kept on getting louder and louder as time went on and when I went to check it out I found that the exhaust manifold had a crack in it about 3. 5 inches long. If feel that this should be a recall do to I changed 3 od them in other GMC Envoys in the last 6 months. I own a state inspection repair garage in pennsylvania. This is a very poor layout by gm. Also the secoundaryair pump on this same vehicle is a command problem. And the wiper spray nosal is also another command poor design.
