2WD Switching to 4WD......all on it's own! by lisa1212

I have an older model.....it's probably the 1st year Envoy, 1998. I know, I know...it's not the Denali, I am told that really it's just a "Jimmy" with a lot more glitz!! Anyway, I've been having trouble with the switch for 2wd switching over on it's own recently. So much so, that when I start it, I check to see what the indicator says (2wd), but when I put it into reverse, I can hear a click, and see that it has switched over to 4wd, it did this 4 times this morning, before I could back out of the driveway!! It does this as your going down the road as well. Anyone here know what one can do to make the switch just turn off and stay on 2wd, as I hardly ever used it anyway? Is there something (like a plug) that can be pulled?
 
 Thanks for any help offered!!

2002 GMC Envoy intermittent starting problem by ehanneman

I have a 2002 GMC Envoy that has a intermittent starting problem. When it doesn't start you turn the key all the dashboard lights lite up and the gauges start to twitch, the brake feels tight and it gets stuck in park.( It also has stalled at 30mph) There is no sound whatsoever coming from the starter or engine. After many tries the car has eventually started. A mechanic found the ground wire loose and tighten it and replaced the battery which worked for a few weeks but the problem is back. I bought the car new with this problem starting the second year of ownership. Has anyone else had this problem?

make sure your 4WD is not set to on. Must be in 2WD mode otherwise you won't be able to make a turn. Hard to turn a vehicle with all four tires rotating at the same speed. Hope this helps.

No problems at all with our Envoy by arcturus

We purchased a new 2003 Envoy in the Spring of 2003. Before buying it we test drove the Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Nissan Murano, Kia Sorento, Saturn Vue, Toyota Highlander and Pontiac Vibe. Nothing we drove came even remotely close to the Envoy in terms of ride, smoothness and quite, power and a solid, luxurious feel. The 275 horsepower in-line 6 accelerates better than the V-8 Explorer and Durango we drove, and literally blows the doors off the Highlander (which was a major disappointment in all areas).
   We've driven our Envoy nearly 50,000 miles now without even a hint of a problem. It still feels as new as the day we brought it home. I'm surprised at the negative comments I read here, as two of our relatives also have Envoys and they have never had a seconds trouble with theirs either. One is a 2002 with 100,000 miles on it at this point. I know a lot of cars get unfairly blamed for crappy service departments. I suspect that is the case with a lot of the complaints. Our previous SUV was a Ford Explorer, and although it was a very good and dependable vehicle, comparing it to the Envoy would be like comparing a Hyundai to a Lincoln. If it weren't such a gas hog (19mpg) we'd buy another Envoy in a heartbeat. As it, we'll most likely opt for something that gets better mileage.

A national news magazine is looking to interview consumers who have recently (within the past three months) purchased a large SUV and would like to talk about your decision to purchase that car.

check the 4 wheel drove and make sure its in 2wheel. If its in 4wheel high of low it will lock up if there is no snow.
