Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 52, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Both power exterior mirrors moved while driving. They would not stay in place. This condition causes poor visibility while driving driving or parking. The dealer was notified.*ak *bf
While the vehicle was parked driver heard a loud knocking noise. Consumer inspected the vehicle, and noticed that the rear window broke on its own. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the window needed to be replaced.
Mirrors will not stay in position ,and that makes it hard to drive in traffic. Dealer has replaced several parts. However, the mirrors are still defective.*ak the consumer stated that the mirrors must be reset every time the vehicle is started. The vehicle was in an accident due to the mirror defect while driving at night. The consumer would like the mirror problem addressed.
The 2002 gmc envoy electronic operation of side view mirrors does not work consistently. *bf the mirrors would reposition themselves randomly while the vehicle was in motion. Gmc had serviced the vehicle numerous times, although the computer had been upgraded, the mirror motors have been replaced more than once and the mirrors have been reset several times under warranty, but the problem continued.
Exterior power rear view mirrors will not stay in same position. The mirrors are to automatically move into proper position when the key fob is depressed. Majority of the time the mirrors stop in the wrong position.
After reading the following article, I check and my rear break light bulb driver side was burned out. Please, move forward with this recall!! I have a 2002 envoy slt that is at 40k miles. Also, my rear driver's side electric window mechanism unexpectedly broke. Some cable inside. The dealer wants to charge $500 to replace the whole assembly. Can you say highway robbery? Like mileage has anything to do with window usage. Http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/mgbhyys0sxd.html.
When driving in the rain windshield wipers failed, causing the driver to pull off the road. *ak
2002 gmc envoy the driver side mirror does not retain memory setting for either driver. Could cause an accident by not being in proper position while operating the vehicle.
Windshield wipers run intermittently while on the delay cycle.
The windshield wipers would not operate. There were wet roads and fog; but, it was not raining. The wipers were needed to see adequately. When roads dried and fog subsided, went to dealer for replacement of motor assembly.
Electronic side mirrors keep moving.
Vehicle comes equipped with an automatic rear view mirror adjusting system. While driving the mirror goes out of its setting and readjusts itself. This causes poor visibility.
Engine non-start problems -- waiting 15-20 minutes seems to correct. Wandering side view mirrors. Rubbing noise when turning tightly. Driver's side door movement noise when turning over bumps. Side mirror air noise. The 1st. Two (2) problems have been ongoing, and the most concerning, since the vehicle was purchased new in 2001. It has been in for repairs to two (2) gmc dealers numerous times, and an ignition recall repair was done and the dealer assumed it would correct the non-start problem. It did until yesterday. More importantly however, shortly after this vehicle was purchased, gmc's owner assistance help has been sought for these (2) problems assuming they may inform the dealer of engineering fixes, but to no avail.
Windshield wipers and transmission are not functioning properly due to a malfunction in the electrical system.
Consumer states that driver's and passenger's outside mirrors are too small for the vehicle. Not able to se on coming cars. When the mirrors are set they will not stay set on that position.
Vehicle was brought in for several problems. Side view mirror problem [not staying set] was resolved until today when side view mirror again malfunctioned within one week of being repaired by dealer.
Re odi#10026102: vehicle with stalling problem brought to dealer who detected no defect. Dealer unable to rectify problem. I hope stalling problem does not occur at highway speeds as it has with other vehicles, same make and model.dealer stated wandering driverside mirror fixed. We'll see.
While waiting to proceed in traffic with foot on brake and car in drive, engine suddenly stalled out and was unable to be restarted. Also, driverside mirror keeps resetting when unlocking the automatic doors. Wipers don't function properly when in intermittent mode. Car is at dealer now, hopefully they can resolve this. *ak vehicle is equipped with rainsense automatic rain sensing wipers. Rainsense works only when in intermittent mode. Settings adjust sensitivity of wipers but not frequency. Wiper fails to make a complete smooth pass across windshield. They stop several times during their sweep and stutter. After a few second pause they resume their sweep. Wipers work fine when set to standard high or low wiper settings.
Vehicle's air bag light keep flashing/ vehicle running on high RPM's. *mr air bag sensor replaced and calibrations had to be updated. Additional problems included faded window moldings, loss of power and steering. Ignition switch and fuse block was replaced. Inoperative power mirrors. Parts had to be ordered. Consumer was upset with the number of problems experienced with vehicle and the number of recalls on this new SUV. *tt
Outside mirrors do not return to the pre-selected position set by the memory when doors are unlocked with the remote control key fob.they constantly searche for the correct position.
First, rainsense windshield wiper equipped vehicle has windshield wipers stop and stutter at least three times on each forward and back cycle when in intermittent mode. Wipers now delay up to 30 seconds at top of cycle (straight up on windshield) and are getting progressively worse. Nearly caused a collision with vehicle in front. Dealer attempted to replace "pulse relay" which did not work and then tech stated they operate normally and customer does not understand function of rainsense feature despite owning vehicle for 2 years without prior issue. Second, right passenger outside mirror randomly changes setting creating a safety hazard during maneuvering of vehicle. Dealer states there is no problem despite fixing at least 5 times prior. Please note prior 19 complaints with the federal safety agency online out of 200 listed. This would seem to require a recall.
The vehicle's remote control rear view mirrors adjust themselves. The dealer has attempted to repair the problem six times.
The exterior mirrors malfunctioned, when the vehicle was put into reverse, the mirrors moved downward, however when the vehicle was put into drive, the mirrors failed to return to its original position.
The side mirrors worked at random, which made it difficult to see while driving.
Uncommanded movement of outside rear view mirrors. Drivers and passengers outside rear view memory mirrors wander and do not go back to a previously set positions. Pressing key fob to unlock doors, inserting key into ignition or pressing memory recall button causes mirror movement from preset positions requiring manual readjustments every time vehicle is driven. When using tilt in reverse function, mirrors do not return to initial driving position. Mirrors also drift out of position while highway driving for extended periods of time (mainly driver's side). Vehicle has been to dealer service department 6 times for this particular problem. Both mirrors have been replaced, passenger mirror currently operating properly after replacement. Presented service department with a copy of gm service bulletin 02-08-64-008 dated april 2002 during my last visit (mar 2003) to have drivers mirror corrected. They stated several other customers have the same problem and gm has directed them to not replace mirrors despite the gm service bulletin. They could not provide any time frame they expect a resolution from gm if any and did not open a service ticket for my vehicles discrepancy during the last visit. Properly adjusted rear view mirrors are a required safety item for all vehicles licensed to be driven on public roads. Malfunctioning mirrors clearly jeopardize public safety and it is obvious from the information available, gm has a safety problem with their product requiring immediate attention and resolution. Any additional information and help resolving this safety issue will be appreciated.
Vehicle 2002 gmc envoy [xxx] outside rearview mirrors adjust themselves to odd positions almost daily or every time I drive this vehicle. It is necessary for me to stop the vehicle and place the transmission in park and then push the memory button as many as 4 times to get the mirrors in proper position, or adjust the mirror while driving using the joy stick control. The dealer has not been able to correct the problem except asking me to return the vehicle for the 3rd time. Incident date is every day the vehicle is driven thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I own a 2002 gmc envoy slt. My problem is with the rear glass in the liftgate. In the eight months or so that I have owned this vehicle the rear glass keeps popping open when I hit bumps. I do not open the rear glass or the liftgate very often right now but I probably will once my child gets here in march. That is how I know its not from failing to close the glass properly. This happend at least 20 times since I have owned the vehicle. I took the car to the dealer and asked them to look at it and they could find nothing wrong but there must be some sort of design flaw that allows this thing to just pop open when you hit a small bump (its not just large bumps or potholes that cause it to open). I would really like gmc to address this issue before someone gets hurt or something falls out of the rear of the vehicle and injures someone.
While driving the exterior motorized rear view mirror, moves by themselves. This causes poor visibility, that can result in an accident. The dealership replaced the vehicles' main computer chip, but problem still occurs. Please provide more details. Ts
Memory mirrors do not return to the correct settings. Consumer was orginally told there was no problem; however, two dealerships had duplicated the problem and could not fix it. Had it in a total of 8 times, and several parts of vehicle have been replaced, including mirrors/ mirror actuators/ liftgate control module , and driver's side door control module. This mirror defect was similar to the ones mentioned in odi id numbers 755966, 757526, 757914, 759042, 759973, 760504 and 8000646. Consumer's file number with gmc has been 1-11855349. This was very unsafe because when thinking that mirrors were set, they were not. At night or in the dark consumer must wait to see a light to set them. Dt.
