We bought new a 2004 gmc xuv. From the beginning we had problems with the ignition switch. The car would turn off while driving. Also, when parked the ignition switch would not completely turn off. The dash lights would remain on if you do not wiggle the ignition switch. When a few days you come back the battery would be dead. The dealer would not fix it. Problem still exist. We keep a battery jumper in the car since new so we are not left stranded. The rear and middle window have failed four times. When this happens you cannot open the back gate or open the roof which I feel is dangerous. You cannot get in or out for there is no release. Fixed four times and the window went down again at 74,000 miles and gate is lock again. It has been repaired by the dealer and private mechanics but, the problem still exists. We now have a speedometer and gauges that are not accurate. Gauge lights come on then go off erratically. At the same time our air conditioner blows only on our feet. The mechanics say the entire control panel needs to be replaced. Five months later the air conditioner works again. This will probably be our last gm car.

I have a 2004 envoy xuv. Since last year winter, I noticed that my speedometer would get stuck and run erratically, which I thought at the time was due to the cold. Occasionally too, we'd come to the garage to find the rear window open and the tailgate unable to open. During those times, we were able to bring the window back up with the button inside the vehicle, as well as unlock the tailgate by locking and unlocking the doors with the remote. Also, the truck would stall during driving, for no reason but would start again (big safety issue!!! I could not steer or brake well). Since then, the instrument cluster has also continuously gone haywire, with the speedometer reading erratically as well as the oil pressure gauge. The mid window no longer functions and my tailgate will not latch closed. I have had it swing open while in traffic (another safety concern!!!!! What if I have something back there and it falls out) the dealership says there are no recalls regarding any of these manufacturing defects, and my research indicates these are problems most gmc envoy xuv owners are experiencing, without recourse of having it fixed by gm at no charge. Now, we know why they have lost the market share to japan vehicles, because our next vehicle will never be a gm, unless all these problems are recalled and fixed. We'll also ensure to mount a lack-of-confidence campaign against gm vehicles with everyone we know, if nothing is done about asap by gm.

We have a 2004, gmc envoy xuv, which we purchase brand new in 2004. Since last year winter, I noticed that my speedometer would get stuck and run erratically, which I thought at the time was due to the cold. Occasionally too, we'd come to the garage to find the rear window open and the tailgate unable to open. During those times, we were able to bring the window back up with the button inside the vehicle, as well as unlock the tailgate by locking and unlocking the doors with the remote. Also, the truck would stall during driving, especially at turns, but would start again. Just last week, my wife was just about to leave home last week, when she noticed the rear tailgate window had gone down by itself as usual; following which all electronic efforts to bring it up failed, and the tailgate or roof wouldn't open as well. Then, we heard some humming inside the tailgate. My wife left home only to have the truck's battery fail at the local mall. Since then, the instrument cluster has also continuously gone haywire, with the speedometer reading erratically as well as the oil pressure gauge. The dealership says there are no recalls regarding any of these manufacturing defects, and my research indicates these are problems most gmc envoy xuv owners are experiencing, without recourse of having it fixed by gm at no charge. Now, we know why they have lost the market share to japan vehicles, because our next vehicle will never be a gm, unless all these problems are recalled and fixed.

My envoy xuv (8cyl) has engine trouble, which gmc says is normal. It occasionally has extremely rough idle, more times than not, it hesitates as if trying to decide if it'll stall out or not. Usually this happens when attempting to resume driving after sitting at a light or after other complete stop. I feel that this one day may get me rear ended or t-boned by another car. Sadly, I noticed this since the first day I drove it off the lot brand new.
