I have looked into this issue and there are 1,000's of people with the same issue I have. My airbags go low over night and under 32 degrees don't pump up at all. I work 26 miles away and travel to work riding on my frame. My body is jarred and my truck is getting beaten because the air ride system is not working properly. You can hear the pump working and I've been told that it's a valve needed to be replaced. This issue is not from age. Others have had this problem as early as 40k.

Driving on highway when rear of vehicle felt like it was riding low. Got off highway at next exit to check back of truck. Rear of truck was sitting low. Turned truck off waited a few minutes, turned truck back on. The rear of the truck did not rise. This can not be safe for the rear suspension system to disengage while driving. I had previously noticed when the truck is first turned on that the rear suspension would engage and the rear of the vehicle would rise.

Rear suspension from factory is a airbag system. I found the rear of my car one day dropped to the floor. I drove it to the dealer and found myself not being able to go the speed limit cause driving the vehicle dropped was causing a lot of bouncing around. I was told by the dealer this is not a recall so I would have to pay out of pocket. This is a engineering problem not a service call.

Recalls that are seriously affecting the car's safety that cannot be repaired because the service call has closed, but was bought that way without knowing. The wiper motor works when it wants on the driver side, preventing clear safe vision during rain, the 4 wheel drive is stuck in 4 wd, the front suspension possibly cracked, the headlight doesnt face straight on the road, the air bag on the passenger side has defect that if deployed can cause bodily infury to the passenger, license plate only works when its slammed shut, and have issue with the electrical under the dash that apparently fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards no. 101, "control location, identification, and illumination" and no. 208, "occupant crash protection. . But yet gm wont repair it !!! all of these are prior recalls, but because I wasnt the original owner and didnt take the car in when they were first announced, gm refuses to make my Envoy safe from causing me or my kids harm. Because the first owner didnt do it, or because its too late. If a year make and model of a car has a recall, why does it matter when the issue surfaces, its obviously a cause for concern, why not repair it?.
1. Started with horn honking on its own, radio turning on and off and heating and cooling turning on and off and battery being drained. Dealer replaced 2 batteries. 2. Stabilitrak warning light would intermittently come on and say it needed serviced. 3. Gas gauge started malfunctioning after a fill up. Needle would fluctuate and eventually remain on e. Was told by dealer it was either the fuel level sensor or instrument panel. 4. Vehicle started to jerk forward when sitting at stop light. Jerks are strong enough that you feel like you were rear ended. Then started noticing the jerks while driving at highway speed. 5. Oil gauge began fluctuating from high to low. Was again told it was a bad instrument panel . 6. Rear air suspension began deflating when vehicle would sit for long periods of time. Low enough that tires almost touch top of wheel well. Compressor would come on and rear end would come back up to normal. Now it deflates over short periods of time and takes a considerably longer amount of time to reinflate. I am now noticing that it is deflating some while driving. If you hit a bump you can feel the tire hit the top of wheel well. Dealer could not explain the jerking. Was told there was probably an electrical problem causing things to come on and off. Fuel gauge is being replaced free as a defective part. Was told rear suspension was most likely a dead compressor and tires could possibly rub or blow out if suspension deflates while driving.

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.

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.
