Good reliable SUV overall. Works well for hauling the kids and getting groceries. Tows well, very happy with the 4 wheel drive system. Fuel mileage decent for mid sized SUV. Nice leather interior, easy to use instramentation. Only downfall is poorly fitted shell and bumper, lots of air noise at higher speeds, not very exciting to drive. It a great family car to get you from point A to B, but the trip between is predictible and boring.
Good Experiences ?

"service engine, service 4wd, change oil".......my dash looks like a lighted christmas tree and no one can find anything wrong. Door moldings falling off. Rear wiper washer broke. Knocking noise underneath. Shifts hard and clanks often. No recall for hole in gas tank or cracked gas cap compartment. Fuel mileage stinks. NEVER AGAIN. Going back to a Nissan or Toyota!

We bought the Envoy used, trading in a Toyota minivan with well over 200,000 miles on it. Boy, that was a mistake. We owned the car for about a year and a half and in that time I had to replace both front tie rods, the steering rack, the power steering pump, the control for the blower fan, the front upper and lower ball joints, and the water pump. When I took the Envoy into the dealership for an oil change I mentioned that the brakes were pulsating, which was interesting since the dealership told me that they had replaced all four discs, all the brake pads, and the front calipers, doing over $2,000 worth of work just before I bought it. The dealership inspected the brakes and told me that all four discs needed replaced as well as the brake pads at the cost of almost $800. On less than 10,000 miles of driving. We're not the slam on the brakes type of people. So that was the last straw. We traded the Envoy in at a loss for a used Hyundai which has only needed a new battery in the six months that we've had it due to a VERY cold winter. In that year and a half that we owned it we spent over $1,800 in repairs to the Envoy. In the ten years and 180,000 miles that we owned our Toyota minivan we didn't spend half that. Do yourself a favor. Don't buy a GMC. Don't fall for the "American Made!" patriotic bologna. If GMC made reliable vehicles they wouldn't have to wave the Red, White, and Blue to sell their cars. Besides, Toyotas and Hondas are made here in the USA too.

I went thru 2 transmissions in one year and GMC claims there company to be professional grade. More like Fisher Price grade to me. Thank God for warranties!

Bought this vehicle as new because of the spacious interior (had third seat option) and ability to pull a boat. Luckily, I purchased and extended warranty. However, I still have a $200 deductible to pay for each repair. Thus far, I have already had to replace the radiator and water pump. The vehicle is back in the shop today for replacement of the back lift gate window hinges, and for an engine rattle. I have also had occasional problems with the "Service 4WD" coming on at random times. In addition to mechanical issues, the highway and air noise when driving is fairly annoying.
