NHTSA Complaint #10615355 — 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV

WE BOUGHT NEW A 2004 GMC XUV. FROM THE BEGINNING WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN PARKED THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON IF YOU DO NOT WIGGLE THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN A FEW DAYS YOU COME BACK THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WE KEEP A BATTERY JUMPER IN THE CAR SINCE NEW SO WE ARE NOT LEFT STRANDED. THE REAR AND MIDDLE WINDOW HAVE FAILED FOUR TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CANNOT OPEN THE BACK GATE OR OPEN THE ROOF WHICH I FEEL IS DANGEROUS. YOU CANNOT GET IN OR OUT FOR THERE IS NO RELEASE. FIXED FOUR TIMES AND THE WINDOW WENT DOWN AGAIN AT 74,000 MILES AND GATE IS LOCK AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER AND PRIVATE MECHANICS BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WE NOW HAVE A SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE. GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON THEN GO OFF ERRATICALLY. AT THE SAME TIME OUR AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS ONLY ON OUR FEET. THE MECHANICS SAY THE ENTIRE CONTROL PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FIVE MONTHS LATER THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS AGAIN. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE OUR LAST GM CAR. *TR
