| I own a 2005 Envoy SLT 4WD and for the last six months, I have been experiencing a problem with the electrical system. I allow the vehicle to sit at least two minutes before driving it and after I have driven it 10 minutes or more, the headlights and interior light start to flicker. It will stop flickering for a minute or two and then will begin flickering again constantly. The dealership has replaced the starter, a/c compressor, two batteries, and an alternator and they still can't find out what is causing this problem. Of course it happens intermittenly. When I have experienced this problem, I called the service department to describe what it's doing (no change in volts or rpms), but I can't get the problem to stop. The dealership thought it had something to do with the automatic headlights, but it would still flicker constantly whether the lights were turned on manually or not. Needless to say, I'm very frustrated with the problem and would appreciate any help. The dealership told me that they received a letter from GM stating that other customers had this complain, but they didn't state what the problem was or how to fix it. Other than the constant wind noise, the vehicle is pretty decent. | |

| I bought an after market switch by standard for $30 but it would leave the dashboard lights on after the key was removed. It did take care of all my other problems until I left the light on one night and my battery went dead. Now I have to go to the dealership that could not fix the problem and buy a gm ignition switch from them. | |

I bought a 2003 gmc envoy xl that had about 44,000 miles, since day 1. I have had problems with the truck. When I bought it from D'arcy motors in joliet, they were trying to pull my chain. I bought the truck knowing that they were going to have to put a new transmission in the truck,because it slipped going from 2nd to 3rd gear, and the dealer said that the truck has to adjust to my driving technique. BS. So i had the truck for 2 weeks and i was going to go out of town when the truck started to slip really bad so I took it in to get the transmission replaced.( brand new) Also I have been having problems with my gas gauge giving me faulty readings, so it has been in the dealer for that about 5 times now and they replace the instrument cluster , fuel pump, fuel pressure sending unit and a few sensors, and it is still not working right, so another fun trip to the dealer. It seems like the truck is at the dealer more than it is on the road. I am currently experiencing a thumping noise in the front end and the dealer is saying it is the stabilizer links which of course are not under the extended warranty. ($350) Replacement of the radio because of a short in the unit. Replaced transmission shift indicator sensor , didn't tell me what gear i was in and cruise control did not work. |
