Tailgate Hinge Problems of GMC Envoy

Tailgate latches on 2004 GMC Envoy xuv keep breaking repeatedly. Unable to open rear of vehicle. Parts have been replaced a number of times and they stop working over and over. If my kids get in the back and get stuck there is no way out the back of the vehicle.

Electrical problems. I have had both rear tailgate sensors go out at the same time. I have the speedometer acting erratically off and on off and on. I have had the starter switch go out twice.

My 2004 Envoy xuv rear tailgate has 2 broken releases in it. As you may already know, the only way to access the rear enclosed part of this vehicle is through the rear door, if there is no rear access, then you cannot get what is in the rear of the vehicle out. In my case, a dog was trapped in the back with no way of getting out the midgate window in the middle of the vehicle is too small to get the dog out. This is a serious issue and could cause many problems as even if there was a access to the rear through the center midgate, some objects could get placed in the rear area that are too large to remove via the midgate and side doors and if the rear tailgate cannot be opened, the objects will never be removed.

I took my 2003 GMC Envoy to the dealer to have the back lift gate checked because I noticed that the plastic shield on top did not seem to be aligned correctly and when I open the lift gate it makes a cracking sound. I was informed by my dealer that the brackets that secure the lift gate are separating and need to be replaced. I have not had a crash or injury yet related to this.

In regard to my prior complaint I notice that my hinges holding my tailgate on were rusted about a month after I purchase my truck, and took it the dealer service shop. I was told that the hinges were not covered under the certified warranty,although according to the certified car and truck warranty it should have been notice during the bumper to bumper inspection before selling the truck. I can't remember the exact day I took it in I believe it was near the end of the month.

The tailgate interlock failed. The tailgate could have fallen off. It was dangling on 1 hinge.

: the contact stated the electronic mirrors re-adjust without warning. The mirrors should maintain the last setting, but require re-adjustment every time the vehicle is driven. Occasionally the mirrors re-adjust while driving making it difficult to change lanes. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer twice for repairs. The dealer replaced the mirrors and made adjustments to the electrical unit. The problem was only alleviated temporarily by the repairs and the mirrors began malfunctioning again a year ago. . . . The mirrors will self adjust the settings. While driving the contact looked in the mirrors to change lanes and they were out of adjustment. Had to constantly adjust the mirrors prior to changing lanes. Also, when shutting the vehicle off, and restarted it, had to adjust the mirrors. The mirrors will not hold the set adjustment. In addition, the tailgate could only be opened with the remote, there was no other way to open the tailgate. In a situation where the contact's only exit from the vehicle was from the inside, could not open manually from the inside.
