The 2000GMCENVOY carries 41 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2000 ENVOY is power train:automatic transmission with 3 filings, followed by visibility:rearview mirrors/devices:exterior (3) and vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal (2). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 1 active recall campaign, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 2 investigation files overlapping the 2000 ENVOY. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

20091017EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 GMC JIMMY ENVOY. I SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC AS I WAS DRIVING AND WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND THEN THEY WOULD NOT WORK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD WARNING SWITCH. THIS CORRECTED THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM. AFTER READING ABOUT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL OF THESE SWITCHES, I DISASSEMBLED THE OLD SWITCH ONLY TO FIND THAT IT ALSO HAD BRASS CONTACTS FOR THE HAZARD WARNING LAMPS. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED IN 2003 BY A DEALER. REPLACING IT WITH THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED! *TR
