Parked vehicle in the garage and went in the house. Next morning went to use vehicle and found that the rear hatch glass had exploded. Glass everywhere. The vehicle had not been moved for over 12 hours. Have called to have glass replaced but have since discovered that this is a common issue with these types of vehicles. Now am concerned that it will happen again. Major concern is it will happen again while driving and have my grand children in the back seat and get injured from flying glass.

I had three cars in front of me stopped. I did not see any breakl lights and I hit the car in front of me pushing the other cars to hit each other. My front end of my car was severely damaged bad enough to damage the radiator and destroy my AC unit. I'm not sure what else was damaged. It sent the person in front of me and myself to the emergency room. " my air bags did not deploy ". My vehicle was moving on a city street.

While driving my envoy rear door opened up on the highway while driving. I pulled over and tried to close it. It wouldn't close, I had to use a bungy cord to keep it closed.

I was doing preventative maintenance on my 2005 gmc envoy and while I had the passenger side wheel off I had noticed a fairly large rusted hole in the side of the frame to the left of the shock tower. I couldn't believe that a 2005 vehicle had frame rust that went clear through the vehicle. I have a 1981 jeep that I use as a farm vehicle doesn't even have frame rust through. I am sure that before this vehicle is paid off it will have a broken frame soon. I just checked the hole yesterday and it is getting larger. Very poor metal used in these frames. Not satisfied. A frame ought to last longer than that.

At approximately 8 am friday january 27th I opened the back hatch of my gmc envoy. Approximately 4-6 inches pulling it down to shut it the entire window shattered all over me, the ground and inside my car. I called my insurance, paid the deductible to have it replaced, it was fixed and then today january 28th, one day after having it replaced I was closing the door again and at approximately the same point in closing it completely shattered again. This is twice in two days. I was told the first time it probably had to do with the weather but the weather was warmer today than yesterday and several forums have shown this problem occurring in all weather conditions. This seems to be a vehicle issue vs a weather issue.

The rear windshield of my 2005 gmc envoy xl exploded for no apparent reason today. I lifted the full hatch (not just the window section) to place items in the back that I had purchased at home depot. I placed a can of paint, one bag, and a bag of sand in the back - nothing that was near the glass of the hatch. I then closed the hatch with enough force for it to close securely, but not with excessive force. As I walked to the driver side door to enter the car, I heard a loud pop that I thought was someone hitting the back of my car with their vehicle. As I walked around to the back, my rear window was shattered into a million tiny pieces. There were no objects or people around the window close enough to break it - it just shattered for no reason at all! The dealership says they have no record of issues with rear windshields, but I found information that differs on line. Fortunately, the deductible on my insurance is only $200. However, for others, I have seen where they have had to pay up to $1500 out of pocket for the expense because the dealership refuses to replace the window. The company that is coming to replace it said the window itself costs $937, not including the installation.
