Carol (my SUV)

This is the best Car I have ever owned. She has never let me down and the in-line 6 cylinder engine has been very reliable.

Most comfortable car I've owned

I love Charlie that's what I call my 2005 Envoy. It rides wonderfully and is very reliable for the most part. Although, I wouldn't purchase the 2005 or 2006 Envoy again. The 2006 has at least been recalled for faulty headlight problem and not the recall for the 2005 light problem. The 2005 Envoy is experiencing the same problem the 2006 was recalled for the headlights go out by itself while driving. Some have lost complete power. I was driving at night on the freeway just after I bought Charlie when the lights just went out. Tried flashers they didn't work either. I was making my way to the get to the exit and the lights just came back on. I was terrified and got off at the next exit. Luckily it was late and there was hardly any traffic. It happened two more times. I've reported it to NTHSA. The 2006 has a recall for the same problem yet the 2005 has yet to be recalled. It hasn't happened in a while, thank goodness. My most recent problem and scare happened again on the freeway this time just as 5 o'clock traffic hit. As I was driving my car went from 65 mph to 10 mph. I hit my flashers and got to the shoulder where I waited as the cars speed by shaking my car as they passed. I waited about 10 mins and tried my car again. I made it off the freeway and made it home. I'm waiting on the part now. Had I not experienced these problems I'd have no problem buying another GMC vehicle. Hopefully there will be no more surprises.

Great Vehicle!

Very comfortable and reliable vehicle. Have had it for 4 years and aside from brakes, oil changes, and tires, have had to do no other repairs.

Worked great for me for several years!

Only issue I ever had with this Envoy was the gas cap. If it wasn't properly in place it would cause the check engine light to come on. Just readjust it and after a few miles of driving the light the would turn off.

The most reliable car ever.

We purchased this SUV 12 years ago, new, and enjoyed every minute of it. Very sturdy, comfortable and reliable, it never gave us any problems. Currently it has 217,000 miles and is still going strong. This great car is a true working horse!
