Envoy

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,070 miles

I just bought a 2005 gmc envoy and my father noticed the battery (new) was dead. So we put it on the charger for a week straight - it died. I was not even a half mile from my home - guess what? Yep, the battery was drained shut off in the middle of the road. Thank heavens my father in law came and charged the battery. I let it sit and run a good 15 minutes. I wanted to turn the heat on but wasn't able to because it killed it again. Luckily it did start back up - I finally got the half mile back home. It died once again while backing into the driveway.

I once again hooked the battery up to the charger overnight. This morning it died twice on what should be a 5 minute trip to my husband's work. This turned into a 25 minute ordeal, then trying to haul ass home before it died didn't work.

The damn thing shut off again in front of my house... Oh, and yeah my 5'0 115 lb lol ass had to push it backwards into my driveway at 5 am this morning in 20 degree weather by myself.

Envoy V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 112,000 miles

I have a problem with the battery over the last few days. Not sure why because the battery is only about 3 years old. I left the radio on in the car for 10 minutes and when I came back, the car would not start. I've had many jump starts since then (about 6 or 7), 3 from AAA alone. That has cost me about $100. I don't feel this is a battery problem but is probably an electrical one.. I hope to address this problem soon as I cannot drive like this.
