The electric wiring for the windows and side mirrors will start making a clicking noise and when I put the key into the ignition and turn the key just one turn the front passenger window goes completely down and will not go back up until it is done clicking and turning the heated seats on and off. The regulator is not broke. Also the side mirrors even though they are programmed will sometimes just start moving and act like it cant move anymore and make a noise. The music and or radio will go out while its turned on, it will cut in and out and then after driving a while it wont cut in and out. For the window to just roll down it usually happens after it sat all night. Wont go back up for at least 2 minutes and you can see the door lights flicker and click.

Check engine light accompanied by engine cut-off when cold weather since november 2009. Twice gmc dealership couldn't duplicate issue and no idea for check engine light. New development of fuel gauge failure each time of gas fill-up accompanied by fluctuating fuel level indicator. Clicking noise coming from gas pedal for 3 years with increasing frequency. Electrical system including gauges, speedometer, power steering noise, cruise control seem to be having issues. Dealership claims no recalls, but electrical issues appear to be common according to edmunds.com forums for gmc envoys.

I purchased a new 2004 envoy xuv in 7/2004. After about 3 months of ownership the steering wheel started to make a squeaking noise when turning or being in park and turning the wheel. When I brought in the xuv for an oil change I told the dealer about the squeak but they were unable to duplicate the noise that day. However, the noise was still there and as the time came closer to the next oil change the noise was getting louder. It was kind of a scraping sound. The dealer did hear that sound that was described and lubricated something in the steering wheel. The noise faded but was back within the next couple of days. Well, today I brought in the xuv for it's scheduled oil change and complained about the noise. The answer the gmc dealership gave me was that this is a common defect in the envoys and yukon and there was nothing they can do to fix it. Changing the steering shaft would not fix it and lubricating it won't work either. The noise coming from the steering wheel is like a window being cleaned with a squeegee. So, as of today...still no resolution to the problem.

Dt: the consumer complained about a power steering problems. There was a constant squeak in the steering even while the vehicle was parked. She said there was a popping noise while turning right or left. The consumer also heard the popping noise while going over speed bumps. The squeaking noise began as soon as the vehicle started. The service dealer replaced the power steering belt, power steering gear, a link and bushing, and the drive belt. Also, the dealer adjusted the power steering pulley. This did not remedy the problem, so they replaced the entire power steering pump. However, the problem recurred. The dealer thought it may have been something in the front suspension, so they replaced two stabilizer links. This still did not remedy the problem. *ak updated 11/29/05.

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.
