Totally disatisfied with our 2002 SLT Envoy. We have had recalls on the fuel filter, transmission, transmission locked into gear, Air conditioner works when it wants to and a repeating noise in the front end that the dealership can not fix.

This vehicle was excellent over the first 100k miles. After which, I've had to replace the transfer case at a total cost of $1500. The airbag system failed due to a faulty modulator & master control switch and is $1400 to replace. I'm now at 205,000 miles and have to get the rear differential rebuilt for a cool $1700, along with a failed control module adding another $700. All of this combined with several other trim and mechanical failures have me up in arms. I might as well have a car payment with as much as this is costing in repairs. I drive the heck out of this vehicle, but have the fluids checked/replaced on a monthly basis along with other scheduled/required maintenance. This stinks.

I bought in June 2001. One of the first of a new model. Bad idea... Have had many problems in the shop many times... A/C still doesn't work right. Cools great when moving but if i'm stopped i.e. traffic, light etc. it stops cooling. Brutal in Boston traffic in the summer! Poor quality workmanship... Does look nice though but now that it's out of warranty I'm getting rid of it. Oh one of the other many problems is t he mirrors they never worked right even after to new motors.. memory!

I ski the Colorado Rockies & actually use this SUV for what it was intended. Skiing in the winter, getting to trail heads in the summer. Totally dependable after 2 years & 23k. performance is good considering what kind of vehicle this is. Gas milage is reasonable at 18.5 combined city/mountain, 23 highway. Very comfortable. I am very satisfied and would recommend this truck.

In to the dealer for sensors in AC, Emissions system, and a couple other minor problems. Performance reminds me of driving a Japanese SUV instead of American Iron. Should have got a 5.3 V8 as is in my Sierra or better yet, a Yukon. I call this my "Graco" (baby carriage).
