2007 Gmc Envoy problems
The GMC Envoy is a mid-size SUV manufactured and marketed by General Motors for the 1998 to 2009 model years over two generations. Adopting a nameplate used by GM Canada, the Envoy was a rebadged variant of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, Oldsmobile Bravada, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7X.
General Motors assembled the model line at its Moraine Assembly (Moraine, Ohio) and Oklahoma City Assembly (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). Both facilities were closed by 2008, leading to the discontinuation of the model line. The Envoy was not directly replaced in the GMC model line as General Motors transitioned its smaller SUVs to unibody-chassis designs, introducing the smaller GMC Terrain and larger GMC Acadia.
First generation (1998–2000)
The first generation GMC Envoy was introduced for the 1998 model year. Introduced a year before the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, the Envoy was the highest-trim version of the GMC Jimmy SUV. In line with the Oldsmobile Bravada, the Envoy was fitted with a leather-trim interior, floor-mounted shifter, and a largely monochromatic exterior with aluminum-alloy wheels. In line with the TrailBlazer and the Bravada, the Envoy trim was offered only in the five-door version.
The Envoy had many extra features not available on the regular Jimmy 4-door including: a remote trunk release, heated driver's and passenger's seats, a Bose sound system, and High Intensity Discharge headlights. Optional features included: a power sunroof, a panic alarm, an anti-theft system, and a power front driver & passenger seat.
GMC ended sales of the first generation Envoy after the 2000 model year as the division adopted the name to replace the entire Jimmy SUV line for 2002.

Common 2007 Gmc Envoy problems
The GMC Envoy, a mid-size SUV produced by General Motors, has been reported to have several common problems by its owners. These issues range from exhaust leaks to electrical and transmission problems.
- Ignition Switch Failure: Owners of 2008 GMC Envoys have reported problems turning the ignition switch on, with the issue occurring repeatedly. This problem has been reported to start within 70,000 miles of ownership, and replacing the ignition switch can cost at least $250.
- Electrical Issues: The 2007 GMC Envoy has generated 273 complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 73 of these being for electrical issues. A recall was issued in 2015 due to daytime running lights failing to engage due to a control module malfunction. Additionally, 66 fuel system complaints point to issues with the fuel gauge, with drivers reporting inaccurate fuel level readings and the check engine light coming on at the same time as the low fuel light.
- Transmission Problems: The 4L60E transmission in the 2007 GMC Envoy does not have a good track record when it comes to reliability. Transmission rebuild or replacement can be necessary, and the cost can vary depending on the specific issue.
- DOD System Failure: GMC Envoys with the 5.3 liter V8 and the Displacement on Demand (DOD) system, which shuts off half the cylinders when cruising at lower speeds, can experience lifter failures after about 150,000 miles. This can result in the need for an engine rebuild or replacement, which can be a costly repair .
- Rear Main Seal Leak: This is a common problem with these vehicles as they age, and it involves pulling the transmission back just enough to slide in a new seal. This is a labor-intensive job that can take up to 10 hours in a shop and cost at least $1,000 .
- Throttle Body Failure: If the Envoy is telling the driver to reduce engine power but all spark plugs, coils, spark plug wires, map, and MAF sensors have been replaced, it is likely caused by a dirty throttle body. A new throttle body and wiring harness will fix the problem .
- Failing Transmission: The 4L60E transmission does not have a good track record when it comes to reliability. However, they are cheaper than many other transmissions if rebuilding or replacing is necessary.
- Engine Electrical Issues: Engine electrical issues, such as problems with the engine computer, engine mounts, engine knock or ping, fuel leaks, oil leaks, sensors, emission-control devices, fuel-injection system, fuel gauge/sender, fuel pump, and problems filling up the tank, have been reported by owners.
- Steering and Suspension Problems: Shocks or struts, ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, alignment, steering linkage, power steering pumps and hoses, leaks, wheel balance, springs or torsion bars, bushings, electronic or air suspension, driveshaft or axle, CV joint, differential, transfer case, four-wheel-drive/all-wheel-drive components, driveline vibration, electrical failure, traction control, and electronic stability control problems have been reported.
These common problems with the GMC Envoy highlight the importance of regular maintenance and addressing issues as soon as they arise to prevent more costly repairs in the future.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-07-02
- VIN: 1GKDT13S472
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) AND THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT EVEN WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH IS PLACED IN THE 'HEADLIGHT' ON POSITION. TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED THAT THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) LOCATED BENEATH THE REAR SEAT. A DIGITAL LOGIC SIGNAL FROM THIS MODULE, BASED ON SENSOR INPUTS FROM THE AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR, PARKING BRAKE AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS, IS PROVIDED TO THE UNDER-HOOD ELECTRONIC RELAY THAT ACTIVATES THE HEADLIGHTS. THERE ARE THREE POSSIBLE SIGNAL OUTPUTS FROM THE BCM...A LOGIC LOW (LIGHTS OFF), A LOGIC HIGH (LOW BEAMS FULL ON) OR A PULSE WIDTH MODULATED SIGNAL TO CREATE THE DIMMER DRL LOW BEAM INTENSITY. IF THE BCM FAILS, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON. THERE IS NO AFFIRMATIVE INPUT TO THE ELECTRONIC RELAY FROM THE LIGHT SWITCH, NOT ROUTED THROUGH THE BCM, TO ACTIVATE THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE BCM FAILS AT NIGHT, THE DRIVER HAS NO LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS. THE ONLY LIGHTS AVAILABLE ARE THE FOG LAMPS OR THE HIGH BEAM LAMPS, BUT ONLY AFTER SETTING THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH TO THE HEADLAMP POSITION. HEADLAMPS ARE A NECESSITY, NOT A OPTIONAL FEATURE. THEIR OPERATION SHOULD NOT RELY ON AN ELECTRONIC SUB-SYSTEM WHOSE FAILURE MODE PREVENTS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FROM WORKING. THIS SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED THE 'EASY' WAY WITHOUT REGARDS TO VEHICLE SAFETY...NAMELY THAT WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ENABLED BY A SIGNAL DIRECTLY FROM THAT SWITCH. WITHOUT AN AFFIRMATIVE ENABLING SIGNAL FROM THE MANUAL DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH, THE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE OPERATOR IS AT THE MERCY OF THE BCM, WHICH COULD FAIL AT NIGHT OR ON THE WEEKEND (WHEN A REPAIR SHOP IS UNAVAILABLE) RENDERING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS OR UN-DRIVEABLE.

2007 Gmc Envoy recalls
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued 5 recalls for different components of the 2007 Gmc Envoy.
2015-09-24
- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
- Components: VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
- Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy vehicles, and 2006 GMC Envoy XL and Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT vehicles. Fluid may enter into the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board, causing window switches to become inoperative. Previously, the affected vehicles may have had their master power window switch module treated with a protective coating, instead of having it replaced.
- Consequence: The protective coating may not eliminate the risk that the circuit board could short and result in a fire, even while the vehicle is unattended.
- Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a new driver's door switch module, free of charge. The recall began on November 2, 2015. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15700.
