What owners wrote
The only problem is with the memory seats and mirrors. On prior year envoys, when you pressed the unlock button on the remote, the seats and mirrors would recall to that drivers position. Now you have to push the 1 or 2 button on the door, while in park, to recall the seat and mirror positions. There is no tie with the remote and the memory seats. I don't know why GM would do away with this feature, but it is very inconvenient and in my opinion - a big step backwards.
I have a 2005 envoy that I purchased less than a year ago from a local chevrolet dealership. On the day of the failure, I did not drive the vehicle to work. When I returned home, I found that the back trunk hatch had somehow opened on its own, causing it to separate from the glass. The trunk hatch was broken in such a manner that it could not have been brought on by another individual or object. After noticing this defect, I contacted the dealership.
