GMC Envoy XL ignition turns but does not crank and won't come out of gear on GMC Envoy XL

Some GMC Envoy XL owners report experiencing issues where the ignition turns but the engine does not crank, potentially due to a faulty ignition switch that prevents the engine from starting despite the key being turned. Additionally, some owners encounter problems with the starter not engaging, which can inhibit the cranking process necessary for engine start-up. A weak or dead battery is another common issue that can lead to the engine failing to crank, as insufficient power may be available to turn the engine over. Furthermore, if the vehicle won't come out of gear, this may indicate problems with the transmission or shift linkage, which can affect the starting process. To resolve these issues, owners are advised to check the battery power, inspect the starter's engagement, examine the ignition switch for malfunctions, and have the transmission and shift linkage assessed by a qualified mechanic.
