2002 GMC ENVOY Visibility Problems

I HAVE A 2002 GMC ENVOY. THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS ARE DO NOT STAY IN POSITION AND MOVE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER ACTUALLY TRIED TO TELL ME HE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME AGGRAVATING PROBLEM. WHEN IS GMC GOING TO OWN UP AND FIX THIS? *TR

ON FEBRUARY 8, 2010, I PUT MY SUV IN MY GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO GET IN IT THE NEXT MORNING TO GO TO WORK, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS DOWN. I WENT TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY AND NOTHING WORKED ON THAT SIDE OF THE DOOR AND THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP. THIS PANEL CONTROLS EVERYTHING, SEAT CONTROL, MOVEMENT AND HEATED SEAT, ALL WINDOWS, BOTH OUTSIDE MIRRORS, AND NOW WHEN I TURN THE KEY ON THE HORN BLOWS. WHEN I LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE ALARM TO TELL ME I DID, DOES NOT GO OFF. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR. I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO A DEALERSHIP, IN A SNOW STORM, 0 DEGREE WEATHER, WITH THE WINDOW DOWN, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE MASTER SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS DOOR HAD BURNED UP. THE SERVICE MGR. TO WHO I TOOK IT TO TRIED TO FIND THE PART BY CALLING THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND JUNK YARDS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THAT A PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. MOST OF THE DOORS WE WERE TOLD, WERE CATCHING ON FIRE AND THE SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME HE COULD SMELL WHERE IT HAD BURNED AND I WAS LUCKY IT DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE IN MY GARAGE. I AM STILL WAITING ON A PART TO BE FOUND OR TO BE MANUFACTURED. IF THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ON RECALL AND HOW SOON CAN I EXPECT A PART AND COULD THIS STILL CATCH ON FIRE. AFTER A LOT OF WORK, THEY FINALLY GOT MY WINDOW UP, MANUALLY SO I CAN STILL DRIVE IT BUT IT IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. I AM ON A LIST AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP BUT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHEN TO EXPECT IT. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL RANDOMLY JUMP FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE CAR TO BECOME IDLE AND YOU MUST TURN THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE HE REPLACED THE BRAKES AND CHECKED THE WHEELS AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. SHE IS ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT IT LOCKS WHEN FASTENED. SHE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND ANY REPAIRS MADE WOULD BE AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO EXPERIENCING EXTERIOR LIGHT FAILURE, BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURNED OUT WITHIN WEEKS APART AND THEY WERE REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000 (SC) UPDATED 06/25/08. *CN THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED WHEN DRIVING PAST 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MOTOR FAILED. UPDATED 06/25/08

THE OUTSIDE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTING MIRROR HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN AND HAVE TO BE RESET EACH TIME FOR EACH DRIVER THEY ARE PROGRAMMED TO. ONCE ADJUSTED, YOU MAY LOOK TO CHANGE LANES AND FIND THEY ARE NOT ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE THEY WERE ADJUSTED. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HAVING A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE MIRRORS AND THEY CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THING.*JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ELECTRONIC MIRRORS RE-ADJUST WITHOUT WARNING. THE MIRRORS SHOULD MAINTAIN THE LAST SETTING, BUT REQUIRE RE-ADJUSTMENT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. OCCASIONALLY THE MIRRORS RE-ADJUST WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CHANGE LANES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MIRRORS AND MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ELECTRICAL UNIT. THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY ALLEVIATED TEMPORARILY BY THE REPAIRS AND THE MIRRORS BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN A YEAR AGO. *NM... THE MIRRORS WILL SELF ADJUST THE SETTINGS. WHILE DRIVING THE CONTACT LOOKED IN THE MIRRORS TO CHANGE LANES AND THEY WERE OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. HAD TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST THE MIRRORS PRIOR TO CHANGING LANES. ALSO, WHEN SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTED IT, HAD TO ADJUST THE MIRRORS. THE MIRRORS WILL NOT HOLD THE SET ADJUSTMENT. IN ADDITION, THE TAILGATE COULD ONLY BE OPENED WITH THE REMOTE, THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO OPEN THE TAILGATE. IN A SITUATION WHERE THE CONTACT'S ONLY EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE WAS FROM THE INSIDE, COULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY, BUT HAS GRADUALLY GOT WORSE. THERE WAS A RECALL, AND THE REPAIRS WERE MADE. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED. SINCE RECALL REPAIRS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED THE DEALER STATED ALL OTHER REPLACEMENTS WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. *AK

DT: CONTACT STATESD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT WORK EXCEPT ON HIGH. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED A BAD AIR CONDITIONING CYCLING SWITCH CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO FAIL. THEY STATED THE IGNITION SWITCH MODULE, WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE, AND THE AIR CONDITIONING CYCLING SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE COMPUTER PROGRAM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING; THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATION THAT THERE WAS ANY THING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECAL 04V046000 ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR, THE RECALL WAS SERVICED, BUT THE CONSUMER STATED THE MODULE WAS ALREADY BROKE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE SERVICED, BUT AT CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. THE CONSUMER HAS ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE IGNITION SWITCH MODULE.*AK

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 *NM

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. *AK

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. *TC

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. *SC

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.*AK

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?

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. *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND TRANSMISSION ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *AK

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. *KMB

CONSUMER WAS UPSET WITH THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH VEHICLE AND THE NUMBER OF RECALLS ON THIS NEW SUV. *TT *JB

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.*AK

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 NHTSA ONLINE OUT OF 200 LISTED. THIS WOULD SEEM TO REQUIRE A RECALL. *JB

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. *JB

THE SIDE MIRRORS WORKED AT RANDOM, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. *JB

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. *NLM

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). *TR

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. *AK

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

AUTOMATICADJUSTING MIRRORS WANDER TO UNPROGRAMMED POSITIONS AT RANDOM. *AK

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.

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

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. *AK

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.*AK

DAMPERS LOCATED INSIDE HEATER CONTROL SYSTEM ARE VERY ANNOYING. DRIVER CAN CONSTANTLY HEAR SHUTTER OPENING AND CLOSING AS VEHICLE ACCELERATES. *AK *YH

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. *AK

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.*AK

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. *AK

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.*AK
