All these problems come and go, somtimes depending on the outside temperature. Some of it got fixed and came back again. The major problems are that the vehicle shuts down without any warning - no engine no electric nothing-, so its even not possible to call on star! The other thing is that the transmission start to shift gears while driving on a leveled raod at consistant speed. All this items got fixed and come back after a while. Dt
2002 GMC Envoy visibility complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 52 of 52, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Automaticadjusting mirrors wander to unprogrammed positions at random.
Mirrors problem - the outside mirrors emit a disturbing whistling noise when exceeding 45 MPH. It appears that the seems of the outside casing are causing the noise. Dealer says gm has no solution to problem. Steering problem - a grunt/crunch noise emits from the passenger front wheelwell when taking sharp left turns. No problems with right turns. Dealer has been notified.
Bothe side mirrors do not return to their set position when ignition turned on, returned to dealer to correct problem 3 times. Dealer reports there is no problem, problem still not corrected.
Turn switch previously replaced becuase hazards came on when putting on turn signal. Now windshield wipers are stuck on and had to pull fuse to stop, will be returning to dealer, again
The memory mirror feature on the vehicle worked for a while, then failed. Every time I get in the car the mirrors would set themselves incorrectly at angles that render them useless. I have been to the dealership 3 times, and they have been great to work with. They have tried everything gm suggests but the problem still keeps coming back. While this issue may at first seem minor, it really is a serious safety issue as it requires the outside mirrirs to have to be reset before every drive. Having your mirrors in proper setting is critical to the safe operation of a vehicle. Gm does not seem to take the problem seriously enough to find a permanent fix.
Dampers located inside heater control system are very annoying. Driver can constantly hear shutter opening and closing as vehicle accelerates. *ak
Mirrors 'wander' every time vehicle is unlocked, fail to return to settings creating an unreasonable danger to the occupants of this vehicle as well as other vehicles when changing lanes or merging into traffic due to lack of visability of the area behind the vehicle. Transmission failed on a slight incline with parking brake engaged and transfer case locked and in 4wd and transmission in park - vehicle began rolling backwards down the slight grade. There was a recall for this problem - campaign was completed at dealer, but fix is unknown to the owner.
Automatic mirrors will not maintain position/move on their own.
Mirrors will not hold programed settings. When starting the vehicle, they have to be reset, when changing from one direction to another, they need to be reset. Multiple "save" of the settings makes not difference. Drivers seat will not move into the easy exit position which is also a program feature that is not saved. Mirrors go so far out of direction that you either look at the pavement, the sky or three lanes to the right or left.
Mirrors are self adjusting, and without prior warning mirrors can adjust anyway possible. Dealership is aware of problem, but at this time there is no solution.
Both outside mirrors emit an irratating high-pitched whistle when exceeding 45 MPH. Dealer says there is no remedy at this time. Dealer also advisded me that gm is aware of the problem but is not sure if or when a remedy will be developed and available. Excessive wind noise in general is also a concern.
