Seat Belt Problems of GMC Envoy

Passenger front seat belt locks automatically as soon as you buckle up. It will not unlock, the only way to fix it is to unbuckle and re buckle then it locks again. Very uncomfortable to ride in the front passenger seat.

I just want to add to my recent complaint made December 2021 file number 11444000 when our left side brake failed to disengage completely causing the vehicle to vear left into 2 traffic light poles. Recently have the front end rebuilt and noticed the seat belts needs to be replaced or rebuilt but the passenger side belt is retracted so hard I cant get it off the seat, it is crushing the seat basically and I see other complaints of this happening and almost suffocating the passenger. I was lucky my wife was not with or the belt would have pinned her in, the driver belt is stuck as it was when I removed it.

On highway us-31 in muskegon county michigan, vehicle (envoy) was at almost a complete stop for a vehicle stopped ahead when struck from behind by another vehicle travelling at 70+ mph. The Envoy was then pushed into the vehicle in front of the Envoy. The Envoy suffered major rear end damage and severe front end damage. None of the front airbags deployed. Both front driver and passenger seatbelts did not restrain. The seatbelts stretched out to their limit. Both front driver's seat and passenger seat twisted inwards toward the console. Severe bodily injuries occurred. On 08/23/2018, GMC was made aware of this. A case was opened. The event data recorder was recovered by GMC. The edr showed the impact velocity, non-deployment of airbags and non-restraint of seatbelts. GMC then closed the case stating that because there was no traumatic brain injury, there would be no further investigation or compensation. The 2006 GMC Envoy was deemed a total loss by the auto insurer.

I bought the vehicle in March of 2012. The passenger seat belt will not work and I use them for car seats now which places my lil ones at risk since they may not be properly fastened in because this seat belt should function. Also my back hatchback door doesn't latch properly unless I slam it down hard. If I don't gate ajar light comes on and I hear it loose. The latch system has fallen apart due to the slamming. Window part also does this so I don't use it. I can't believe there are no recalls to fix these safety hazards.

Side air bags deployed in 2005 Envoy slt xl while driving down highway on four lane road. The car hit a small pot hole in the highway and they deployed. I called state trooper and he couldn't understand why they deployed either. I made a traffic report and carried it to dealership. They contacted gmac and they decline to get involved and said it was a accident. There is no damage to vehicle or wheels on truck. The front seatbelts stuck also. I was not going more then 45 miles per hour. There was a traffic light coming up and I slowed for it.

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.

I totaled my 2004 GMC Envoy on black ice, I hit my neighbor pretty much head on. My air bag did not go off nor did my seat belt hold my in place, I reported this accident and dysfunction to gm and after their investigation they said the vehicle functioned properly. I don't understand how this could be, we bought the Envoy new the air bag should have deployed as well as the seat belt should have locked me in place, as it was I hit the wind shield, had swelling in my brain, I also hit the top of the Envoy and came down and have two crushed vertebrae in my back still to this day, I hit the drivers door and then broke the steering column and the center console with my body, again because the air bag did not go off nor did the seat belt hold me in place.

He has taken the vehicle to the dealer, but the failure still persists. The contact stated that the seat belts continue to lock and the windshield wipers are malfunctioning. The wipers have been replaced numerous times and the failure causes limited visibility in certain weather conditions.

Faulty driver side seat belt that will not release to fasten. I have taken the car in and the repair person said that there was nothing wrong, and that it just was catching on something. Also, the passenger side door behind the drivers seat was very hard to open the repair person at the same dealership broke the handle trying to open the door. The repair shop did fix the handle for free, however the door remains still very hard to open and I would not use this particular door. After a while the door would not close and the door latch had to be replaced at my expense. The back window would not go all the way up and the actuator had to be replaced also. I am not sure what month the first incidence took place, but everything seemed to happen quickly afterwards.

2003 GMC Envoy with a list of problems ** the consumer began to hear a knocking and pinging in the engine on cold starts and felt a hesitation when the automatic transmission shifted into gear. After many complaints, it was finally discovered the engine knock was due to shorter pistons in the re-designed engine and the hesitation in the transmission shifting required reprogramming. The consumer was told he would have to live with the engine knock, because it could be more trouble taking the engine apart. On a separate occasion, the engine stalled due to the battery dying. From April 2004 to October 2004 the battery failed several times and had to be re-charged. During that same time the engine light illuminated and each time it happened, the dealer would have to reprogram the engine computer. The radio was not functioning properly which primarily consisted of static. The driver information center control knobs as well as the radio knobs wore out. The front center console was loose. It was discovered that the engine light was coming on because the third stop light that's on the top of the liftgate malfunctioned. There was a short circuit in the stop light. The cooling fan broke, the brakes and the left front head lamp had to be replaced. The rear tail lights, directional and signal lights have been replaced several times. The lug nut broke while a replacement tire was being mounted on the vehicle. The front stabilizer linkage was replaced. The gas tank had to be replaced along with the fuel lines and a seal on the tank due to a leak. The seat belt was designed poorly and the belt cuts into the consumers neck. The drivers side door didn't close properly, the windshield wipers were replaced within the first 2 years.

Rear lap/shoulder belt behind the passenger's seat was installed backwards, which would not properly fit child saftey seat when being used by consumer. Dealership has not examined vehicle. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
