What owners say
Check engine light stays on. Had a diagnostic done and they said there's a gas leak coming from the gas tank fuel inlet valve. Common problem for the gmc envoy and correction involves replacing the whole fuel tank costing an average $1,400. Dangerous to drive if left untreated. Called gmc corporate and I didn't get any help. They said my envoy was not under any recalls. They should be held responsible for this defect.
The check stabilitrak light keeps coming on causing the check engine light to come on causing envoy to loose power. While driving. Second issue is the drivers door started acting up didn't want to go up and now will not do anything causing the entire system to not lock and work the mirrors or anything electrical from the door panel.

We have a 2008 envoy. We bought it brand new in 2008. The ignition switch has quit us 5 times. We usually have some warning. The first 3 times , the check engine light came on but I could eventually start the car and drive it to a mechanic to be checked out. The 4th time we were heading out of town, check engine light came on, my husband pulled over to side of the road and car quit. Would not start, had to tow it to mechanic. This last time, no warning, just quit as I was driving home. I was able to get it started after sitting in the middle of the street for 30 minutes or so, drove it home, quit again and had to tow it to mechanic. I am afraid to take it out on the highway by myself. Afraid this vehicle could cause a wreak, and possible kill or injure us or others. There aren't very many miles on it, so it is not a worn out vehicle.
Received a "check engine" light while driving the vehicle. The fault code that came up was po128 ( insufficient ambient temperature - ect ) upon researching the problem I discovered that this is a common fault on this vehicle. It is generally caused by a "sticking" coolant thermostat. This condition also results in poor heating poor heating of the passenger compartment. If this is such a common problem with vehicle as I have found. Gm should issue a recall and correct the problem at no expense to the owner!
It started with engine misfiring causing engine to jolt which damaged #4 coil pack seal to failed allowing water intrusion. In 2008, the gmc mechanic replaced all six coils seals but in 2013-present p0440 engine code is a leak in the evaporative emission (evap). Loose fuel tank filler cap is the most common cause that triggers the p0440 code. I failed a few smog check spending hundreds of thousands of dollars yet my problem still existence. I've contacted the bureau of automotive repair because purrfect auto in fullerton,ca lied about fixing my car. The bar made purrfect auto replace the gas tank and gas cap yet the engine light is still on displaying code p0440. Its been 14 years and I'm still dealing with this problem.
Hi ! As many other gmc envoy costumer stock at the earlier 50-100 thousand milles with engine problem caused by misfire cylinder . I do a have a problem with my SUV engine the classic misfire #6 cylinder that it cost a $2000 or plus to get repair , short worlds loosing the engine . If you guys check about this issue is extremely big and horrible thousand people a cross the country dealing with this issue .I did noticed this issue just driving , I got to stop sign and the engine starts shaking and the check engine come on , after I took to a mechanic shop for diagnostic and put about $200 dollars on spark plugs and coil and noting changed I was tell by the mechanic that it was a lower compression on the 6 cylinder so bad valve .
When vehicle is stationary, or in motion, the fuel gauge gives inaccurate gas reading. Fuel gauge modulates from empty to full continuously. Empty light comes on when gas is in car when driving. Check engine light comes on when empty light comes on. It is impossible to drive this car with a peace of mind given this problem. Please note that this exact problem with 2007 envoy is all over the internet.

- What is wrong
- Some sport utility vehicles equipped with an electronically controlled air suspension (ecas) have a condition in which the ecas may produce a brief electrical spike while the vehicle is operating. This electrical spike can disrupt the powertrain control module (PCM) causing the vehicle to stall.
- Risk
- If the spike damages the PCM, the vehicle may not restart. If this happens while the vehicle is moving, a crash could occur without prior warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a wiring harness. The recall will begin on august 19, 2004. Owners should contact oldsmobile at 1‑800‑630‑6537 or gmc at 1‑866‑996‑9463.
