2003 GMC Envoy Problems & Complaints

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that while in drive(D), the vehicle shut off and then restarted. The message “Service Engine Soon” was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who installed the original instrument cluster, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked on several occasions, there was condensation under the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on several occasions, where it was determined that the differential needed to be repaired due to a leak coming from the axle. On several occasions, it was determined that the rear pinion seal needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the rear pinion seal was replaced on several occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,411.

Fuel indicator bounces from Empty to full in the matter of seconds while going down the road. Also, issues with mileage range reported as the fuel indicator is fluctuating.

The car's gas gauge and fuel range indicator are problematic. The fuel gauge quickly drops from a higher reading, like 3/4 full, to empty. After this, the gauge and the fuel range both fluctuate while driving, making it impossible to determine the fuel level.

I bought a 2003 GMC Envoy 3/23/24. The main frame and sub-frame have extensive rot, and is unsafe to drive. It is available to inspect. They disguised frame damage and sold me an unsafe vehicle. I brought the car in to have the ac repaired in August 2024 and when they put it up on the lift that's when they saw the damage. This was Rogers Automotive in Westport MA. They told me at that time that it is unsafe to drive. It has not been inspected by any other parties at this time. We had no idea it was damaged, Rogers said it was sprayed to try to hide the damage.

ISSUE: Hazard Warning/Turn Signal Flasher Module Failure. DESCRIPTION: Right front and rear turn signal and right front and rear hazard warning not working outside or inside vehicle. Replaced burned out right front turn signal/hazard. Replaced right rear turn signal/hazard due to corrosion on base of bulb. Looked at fixtures when replacing and all appeared good but right turn signals and right hazard warnings still not operational outside or inside vehicle. AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION: Yes, upon request. RISK/DANGER: Cannot use right blinker or hazard warning flashers to notify approaching or oncoming vehicles of right turn or hazard which could cause other vehicles to crash into stopped or slowing vehichle. CONFIRMED: No. INSPECTED: Not by anyone other than myself [XXX] , daughter of [XXX] owner). ANY KIND OF WARNING & WHEN IT BEGAN: No warning or symptoms really, just didn't work one minute, then worked momentarily and then didn't work and has not worked since. Was taking vehicle in for required State inspection on when the above described issue occurred, so went back home so it would not fail inspection. Occurred during daytime hours. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that the headlights ceased to operate as needed. Upon taking the vehicle to a local Pep Boys, it was diagnosed that the electrical wiring harness was burned and needed to be replaced. Additionally, the bulbs needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back the local Pep Boys, who replaced the electrical wiring harness and the bulbs a second time; however, the failure persisted. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Rear door will not open. Window works but door handles inside and outside will not unlock door to open.

Back door latches sticking/very hard to open and at times won’t open at all. Visibility from wipers is very limited and not good. Rear exterior lights at times flicker and bulbs come loose at times

1. The air bag dummy light is on 2. The relay switch keeps going bad on my regular headlights, but the brights will turn on 3. Rear driver side door popped open on the highway while driving with my 12 year old nephew in the backseat. Will not latch shut.

HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT AT SAME TIME. HIGH BEAMS WORK, VEHICLE RUNS, HAS ALL POWERS. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE, WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED WHEN IT BEGAN TO TURN INTO EARLY EVENING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND THEY SAID THERE'S A GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE GAS TANK FUEL INLET VALVE. COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE GMC ENVOY AND CORRECTION INVOLVES REPLACING THE WHOLE FUEL TANK COSTING AN AVERAGE $1,400. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IF LEFT UNTREATED. CALLED GMC CORPORATE AND I DIDN'T GET ANY HELP. THEY SAID MY ENVOY WAS NOT UNDER ANY RECALLS. THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT.

SHIFT CABLE BROKE BETWEEN THE SHIFTER AND THE TRANSMISSION WHILE SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE TO PARK ON A STREET. IF THIS HAD HAPPEN WHILE SHIFTING DOWN GEAR TO LOWER SPEED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL, A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HAPPEN THAT WOULD HAVE LED TO A CRASH WITH EXTREME PROPERTY DAMAGE AND MOST LIKELY DRIVER AND PASSENGER INJURY AND POSSIBLE DEATH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO OURISMAN CHEVROLET IN MARLOW HEIGHTS MARYLAND FOR REPAIR AFTER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER MANUALLY SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD'VE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR THE TOW DRIVER TO DO IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN FACING DOWN HILL OR IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION. FOR SOME REASON, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE STILL HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED NOR HAVE I'VE BEEN GIVEN A REASON AS TO WHY.

MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT AND THE BACK DOOR FLEW OPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE OTHER BACK DOOR IS NOT CLICKING SHUT AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

U GUYS ISSUED RECALLED ALL GMC VEHICLES FOR A LEAKING GAS CK VALVE ON GAS TANK NO MATTER HOW LONG IN SERVICE STATIONARY OR ON MOTION CK WITH MY LOCAL DEALER KARL CHEVROLET ANKENY IOWA THEY SAY EXPIRED I'M 2017 AT 150000 YOUR RECALLED AS LONG AS IN SERVICE. *TR

WHEN TRAILER IS CONNECTED TO THE 7 WAY TO BOX TRAILER CONNECTION TRAILER TAIL LAMPS DO NOT LIGHT CORRECTLY. BRAKE AND LEFT TURN SIGNAL LAMPS WORK PROPERLY. THE RIGHT TURN TRAILER LAMP IS PARTIALLY LIT WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS NOT ENGAGED. WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS START FLASHING, BRAKE LIGHTS WORK NORMAL. THIS TURN SIGNAL ISSUE APPLY ONLY WHEN TRAILER ELECTRIC CIRCUIT IS PLUNGED IN TO THE TRAILER CIRCUIT. MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE FLASHER UNIT FOR THE 2003 ENVOY VEHICLE TURN SIGNALS. IT APPEARS THE TRAILER CIRCUIT HAS A SIMILAR ISSUE. BOTH THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER WORK OFF THE SAME FLASHER MODULE. SEE RECALL 05V198000. I PLAN TO REPLACE THE FLASHER UNIT TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. IF YOU NEVER TOWED A TRAILER THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT BE DISCOVERED. WHEN TOWING A TRAILER DRIVER COULD BECOME CONFUSED WHEN YOUR MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THIS POTENTIALLY COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE TRAILER USED WAS A 5X10 FOOT SINGLE AXLE BOX TRAILER WITH FOUR WIRE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. I HAD NO ISSUES WHEN TOWED WITH A DIFFERENT MAKE OF TRUCK. I DID REPLACED BOTH TRAILER TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND ISSUE DID NOT CHANGE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE A STRONG ODOR OF GAS ENTERING THE CABIN. FILL VEHICLE UP AND LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS POURS ON THE GROUND FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. CLOSER INSPECTION REVEALS THE PART THAT ATTACHES TO THE GAS TANK IS BROKEN OFF CAUSING VAPORS TO ESCAPE AND NOT PROVIDING A SEAL TO CONTAIN THE SMELL. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEED VEHICLE LOSES OIL PRESSURE CAUSING IT TO DROP TO 0 AND MESSAGE APPEARS TO STOP ENGINE. BOTH INCIDENTS ARE SAFETY HAZARDS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS LIFE AN DEATH INCIDENTS IF ISSUES ARE NOT ADDRESSED BY THE CORPORATION. THIS OCCUR ON INTERSTATE 66 IN WASHINGTON, DC. IMMEDIATE RECALL OF ALL VEHICLES FROM GMC NEEEDS TO BE INITIATED.

THE FUEL FILL LINE IS BROKEN FROM THE GAS TANK. I WAS FILLING THE TANK FOR HOLIDAY TRAVEL AND THE THE TANK BEGAN TO LEAK. EVERY TANK THAT IS ORDERED BY THE REPAIR SHOP IS DAMAGED IN THE SAME PLACE

BULLETIN NO.:14423 DATE: NOVEMBER 2015 PART NUMBER: 15077622 TANK, FUEL (18.7 GAL.) THE ICV IS LOCATED ABOVE THE FULL FUEL LEVEL. A FRACTURED ICV COULD ALLOW FUEL VAPORS TO PASS THROUGH AND DROPLETS OF FUEL TO ACCUMULATE ON THE SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK AS IT PASSES OVER THE FRACTURE DURING REFUELING. IF THE ICV FRACTURES, THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE ENGINE SOON (SES) LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE, AND YOU MAY NOTICE A FUEL ODOR AND/OR A FEW DROPS OF FUEL ON THE GROUND WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME AND NOW MY TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC ENVOY REGARDLESS OF YEAR OR HOW LONG THEY ARE IN SERVICE. THE COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR POOR QUALITY OF PARTS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAZARD WITH FUEL ODOR COMING INTO THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE AND SPILLING OUT WHEN GOING UP A HILL. BEING TOLD TO ONLY FILL MY GAS TANK UP HALF TO THREE QUARTERS FULL DUE TO THAT PART BEING BROKEN IS THE WRONG ANSWER. IN MOTION WHEN I SMELL GAS AND THEN NOTICE IT WHEN I FILL THE VEHICLE UP AND IT STARTED POURING OUT.

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE UNDER DASH SOMEWHERE WITHOUT VEHICLE BEING TURNED ON.

MY SPOUSE WAS DRIVING DOWN S/B ON RT 313 @ RT 290 MARYLAND. HE HIT A DEER AND ROLLED MY ENVOY AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY SON WAS IN FRONT PASSAGER SET WITH A SET BELT ON AND WHEN THE ENVOY ROLLED HIS SET BELT DID NOT HOLD HIM ON. MY SPOUSE TOLD ME THE ANIT-LOCK BREAKS DID NOT ENGAGE WHEN HE SLAM ON THE BREAKS .

2 YEARS AGO THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, WHEN CHECKED BY 2-3 MECHANICS THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE GAS CAP. THAT DIDN'T REMEDY THE SITUATION, THE LIGHT STAYED ON, THEN RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED DROPPING TO EMPTY AFTER A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF A TANK WAS USED. THEN FILLING THE GAS TANK CAUSED IT TO OVERFLOW IF YOU FILL IT TO FULL. AS OF TODAY THE CAR WHEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, SOMETHING CAME LOOSE INSIDE THE SHIFTER, NOW IT IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL.

NO DAMAGE TO TURN SIGNAL WHEN I TURN ON LEFT TURN SIGNAL SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WORK SOMETIMES I CAN MOVE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL COME ON FOR SECOND OTHER TIMES NOTHING HAVE TO TRY TO TURN OFF AND ON SOMETIMES WORKS SOMETIMES DOESN'T CAN NOT GET A GOOD REASON WHY WON'T WORK. HAVE AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE AT TROUBLE SHOOTING. ALSO NONSAFETY ISSUE CRUSE CONTROL ON BLINKER ON SAME SWITCH INTERMITTENT WORKING

DRIVER DOOR WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK ELECTRONICALLY BUT IF YOU TRY TO UNLOCK DOOR MANUALLY IT DOES NOT UNLOCK. IF CAR CRASHES PERSON COULD GET TRAPPED IF CAR IS ON FIRE COULD CAUSE A DEATH IF NO POWER TO ELECTRONIC LOCKS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I HAD TRAFFIC RIGHT BEHIND ME GOING 45MPH AND THEN THEY CAR WOULD NOT RUN AGAIN. I WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTER SECTION AT HALL ROAD AND 59 IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS A USED AUTO AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE EMMISSION SYSTEM EVER GOT CHANGED AND THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE AND THE DEALER SAID NOT TO DRIVE WITH MY HOUSE KEYS ATTACHED. I HAD TO GET THE AUTO TOWED HOME.

WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR GARAGES THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY RUSTED AND DANGEROUS. WE HAVE 150,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

THE ELECTRIC WIRING FOR THE WINDOWS AND SIDE MIRRORS WILL START MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND WHEN I PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND TURN THE KEY JUST ONE TURN THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW GOES COMPLETELY DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP UNTIL IT IS DONE CLICKING AND TURNING THE HEATED SEATS ON AND OFF. THE REGULATOR IS NOT BROKE. ALSO THE SIDE MIRRORS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE PROGRAMMED WILL SOMETIMES JUST START MOVING AND ACT LIKE IT CANT MOVE ANYMORE AND MAKE A NOISE. THE MUSIC AND OR RADIO WILL GO OUT WHILE ITS TURNED ON, IT WILL CUT IN AND OUT AND THEN AFTER DRIVING A WHILE IT WONT CUT IN AND OUT. FOR THE WINDOW TO JUST ROLL DOWN IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER IT SAT ALL NIGHT. WONT GO BACK UP FOR AT LEAST 2 MINUTES AND YOU CAN SEE THE DOOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND CLICK.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND LEAKING FROM TOP OF TANK.

WHEN IN PARK POSITION HEAVY GAS FUMES COMING FROM A LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE THE GAS STAINS ON THE SIDES AND BOTTOM OF TANK.WHEN ROLLING TO A STOP THE FUMES RETURN.I'M GETTING HEADACHES AND BURNING OF MY EYES AND THROAT.I CHECKED MY VIN FOR RECALLS, THE PARTS INVOLVED ARE #14423C FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FRACTURE,AND #07076A FUEL TANK MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY CORROSION #12166 FUEL FILLER NECK..I'M AFRAID EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT THAT I COULD BE BODILY HARMED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, A SPARK,SOMEONE FLICKING A CIGARETTE,A ACCIDENT, ANYTHING THAT WOULD TRIGGER A SPARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MANFREDI CHEVROLET (2519 HYLAN BLVD, STATEN ISLAND, NY 10306, (347) 979-0291) PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

THE LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES AND DRAINS THE BATTERY. TWO BATTERIES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE CAR HAS HAD ROAD SERVICE JUMP STARTS 3 TIMES IN 2 WKS. THE LIGHTS COME ON THEMSELVES WHEN THEY'R'E OFF. THE ALTERNATOR WAS CHECKED AND IS GOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND 1 TIME IN A PARKING LOT.

GRADUAL COOLANT LOSS OVER TIME AND NO EVIDENCE OF LEAK. THIS WAS DUE TO A CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD THAT GM ADMITTED TO KNOWING ABOUT IN TSB 06-06-01-019B ON JUNE 12, 2007). COOLANT WAS SLOWLY LEAKING INTO THE OIL, BUT WAS UNNOTICEABLE UNTIL IT STARTED TO AFFECT OIL PRESSURE FROM THE OIL BECOMING SLUSHY AND RUINING THE ENGINE. THIS ENDED UP RESULTING IN RESULTED IN THE LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT SUDDENLY COMING ON AND THE CAR TO STOP RUNNING ON A HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE STARTED STEAMING AND THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. MECHANIC IS NOW SAYING THE ENGINE IS IN AN UNOPERABLE SHAPE DUE TO DRIVING WITH CONTINUED LOW OIL PRESSURE (NO LIGHT HAD APPEARED UNTIL DAY OF INCIDENT). GM HAD SENT OUT A BULLETIN ADMITTING TO THE ISSUE BUT DID NOTHING TO NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RECALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND/OR PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT. I HAD JUST PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION TO MY GMC ENVOY, EXPECTING IT TO LAST FOR YEARS.

LEAKING FUEL ON TANK AT FUEL NECK...FUEL FUMES, FUEL ON GROUND MAY CAUSE FIRE, NOT ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE AS FUEL IS DUMPING ON THE GROUND WHERE EVER YOU DRIVE

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, THE THIRD ROW FLOOR GOT REALLY HOT AND MY CHILDREN WERE SAYING THEIR FEET WERE REALLY HOT AND WE SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE PLASTIC MELTING AND MY 15 YEAR OLD COUSINS BOOT MELTED AND THE CARPET MELTED AND YOU CAN SEE METAL. ONCE WE ARRIVED HOME THE BLINKER STAYED ON AND DID NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED. JUST BEFORE THIS HAPPED THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUT HIS FOOT ON THE GAS ALL THE WAY.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2003 GMC ENVOY XL SLE 8 CYLINDER BRAND NEW AT ALDEN BUICK IN FAIRHAVEN, MASS IN JULY 2003; FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS WE HAD IT SERVICED AT ROBERTSSON'S GMC 2680 CRANBERRY HIGHWAY, WAREHAM, MASS.02571,508-291-0044. WE HAD IT RECONDITIONED AT THIS DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR, SPENDING $4000.00; WE HAD IT INSPECTED AT THIS DEALERSHIP WITH THE MASSACHUSETTS VEHICLE CHECK; IT PASSED THE FRONT END CHECK AND FRAME CHECK ON 8/4/17. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN LATE DECEMBER, AND HIT SEVERAL DEEP POTHOLES CAUSED BY AN ICE STORM; SHORTLY THEREAFTER I LOST STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO ALDEN BUICK/GMC IN FAIRHAVEN, MASS. TO BE TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME HAD COLLAPSED DUE TO EXTENSIVE CORROSION AND RUST. I HAD IT TOWED TO ROBERTSON'S GMC IN WAREHAM AND FILED A CLAIM WITH COMMERCE INS. CO. TO HOPEFULLY COVER THE DAMAGE TO THE FRAME; COMMERCE DENIED THE CLAIM STATING"THE FRAME ASSEMBLY WAS SEVERELY ROTTED AND THIS EXTENSIVE ROT ALLOWED THE RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM TO BREAK AWAYFROM THE MOUNTING POINT ON THE FRAME RAIL. GMC ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN STATING THAT SOME ENVOY MODELS SUFFERED FROM EXTENSIVE FRAME CORROSION. WHY DID ROBERTSON'S GMC PASS THE VEHICLE ON THE SAFETY CHECK, AND WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THE VEHICLE'S FRAME CORROSION BEFORE I SPENT THE $4000.00 RECONDITIONING IT? WHY IS FRAME CHECK AND FRONT END CHECK LISTED AS PASS ON MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS CORROSION AND RUST WAS PRESENT AT TIME OF INSSPECTION? FORTUNATELY NEITHER I NOR ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WERE INJURED WHILE DRIVING/RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE.

ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS GO CRAZY. SPEED-OMETER WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO JUST LIKE THE BATTERY OIL GAS AND TEMP GAUGE. THE AC AND HEATER HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN AS WELL. ALONG WITH ALL THE LIGHTS. SOME TIMES THEY WORK SOMETIMES THEY DONT

THE STANDARD HEADLAMPS INCONSISTENTLY AND OFTEN SHUT OFF. THE BRIGHT LAMPS REMAIN WORKING, THANK GOODNESS. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY WHEN IN MOTION, OR RIGHT WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. WEATHER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON WITHOUT WARNING AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF WITH THE STANDARD WIPER CONTROLS. IS NECESSARY TO PULL THE WIPER FUSE TO STOP THE WIPERS. IF CAUGHT IN A RAIN SHOWER WHILE IN TRAFFIC WITH FUSE PULLED, HAVE NO WAY TO TURN ON WIPERS. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS WAS ADDRESSED IN NHTSA REFERENCE #04V046000, BUT OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER, WILL HAVE TO REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE.

CRACK IN FILLER NECK WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE GAS TANK.

IT STARTED WITH ENGINE MISFIRING CAUSING ENGINE TO JOLT WHICH DAMAGED #4 COIL PACK SEAL TO FAILED ALLOWING WATER INTRUSION. IN 2008, THE GMC MECHANIC REPLACED ALL SIX COILS SEALS BUT IN 2013-PRESENT P0440 ENGINE CODE IS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP). LOOSE FUEL TANK FILLER CAP IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE THAT TRIGGERS THE P0440 CODE. I FAILED A FEW SMOG CHECK SPENDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS YET MY PROBLEM STILL EXISTENCE. I'VE CONTACTED THE BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR BECAUSE PURRFECT AUTO IN FULLERTON,CA LIED ABOUT FIXING MY CAR. THE BAR MADE PURRFECT AUTO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AND GAS CAP YET THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON DISPLAYING CODE P0440. ITS BEEN 14 YEARS AND I'M STILL DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM.

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE ABS BRAKES WARNING LIGHT AND THE FEEL OF THE BRAKES WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, REACHIBG 5MPH, THE BRAKES PERFORMANCE IS FEELING A RESISTANT ANDJERKY.

GMC IS ADMITTING TO A FAULTY GAS TANK AND ONLY COVERS THIS UP TO 150,000 MILES I BOUGHT THE CAR AFTER THE 150,000 MILES AND NOW HAVE GAS LEAKING THE TANK WAS NEVER FIXED. WHY DOES THE MILEAGE MAKE A DIFFERENCE? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT GMC SHOULD COVER REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE. JUST BECAUSE MY GAS TANK DID NOT LEAK AS SOON AS OTHER ONES DID MEANS I SHOULD NOT BE COVERED? A RECALL IS A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM.

WHILE FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WITH GAS AT SAMSCLUB, IT BEGAN LEAKING CONTINUOUSLY FROM THE TANK. WE REPLACED THE FILLER NECK HOSE, BUT IT TURNS OUT THE GAS TANK HAS A CRACK AT THE TOP. WHEN YOU WALK BY, YOU COULD SMELL THE FUMES.

THE FUEL INLET SEAL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK HAD SEPARATED CAUSING A SMELL OF FUEL AND ALLOWING MATTER TO ENTER THE FUEL TANK FROM THE TOP...POSSIBLY CAUSING THE PREMATURE FAILING OF THE FUEL PUMP. WE UNDERSTAND GMC HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE TO 150,000 MILES. OUR VEHICLE HAD OVER 155,000 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURED BUT WE NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM GMC OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. HAD WE RECEIVED THIS NOTIFICATION WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN IN THE VEHICLE FOR AN IMMEDIATE REPAIR. THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND WE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW FUEL TANK (AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY TOP SEAL) AND FUEL PUMP...COSTING US ALMOST $1,700. WE HAVE A COPY OF THE REPAIR BILL BUT I AM UNABLE TO SCAN AND UPLOAD IT HERE AT THIS TIME... I AM IN THE MILITARY AND WILL BE MOVING TO KOREA IN APRIL, 2016

I TOOK VEHICLE TO GMC DEALER FOR AN UNRELATED GM SPECIAL SERVICE PROGRAM AND UPON REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK, THEY FOUND EXTENSIVE RUST-THROUGH ADJACENT TO WHERE THE TANK MOUNTS TO THE FRAME. THEY SAID THE "VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN" YET IT HAS ONLY 100,000 MILES AND ITS EXTERIOR APPEARS ALMOST LIKE-NEW. DEALER FEELS THE DESIGN OF THE TANK BEING MOUNTED AGAINST THE FRAME CAUSED ROAD SALT, ETC TO GET TRAPPED WHERE IT CANNOT BE CLEANED OUT BY UNDERCARRIAGE CAR WASHES. I RECENTLY CONTACTED GMC BUT MY COMPLAINT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED TO MY SATISFACTION. I SUSPECT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ENVOY/TRAILBLAZER (XL) MODELS STILL ON THE ROAD WITH THIS HIDDEN "CANCER".

I HAD BEEN DRIVING AND PULLED INTO A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE BEING CLOSE TO A GAS STATION I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT WHEN GETTING BACK IN MY VEHICLE AFTER RETRIEVING MY FOOD I NOW SMELLED THE GASOLINE INSIDE MY VEHICLE STILL THOUGHT NOTHING THAT MAYBE THE FUMES WERE JUST LINGERING UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE SMELL WAS STRONGER SO STRONG THAT MY CHILD WITH ASTHMA IMMEDIATELY HAD TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE SO BEING CAUTIOUS AS ANYONE I HAD MY HUSBAND TAKE A LOOK HE SMELLED THE GASOLINE BUT COULDN'T FIND A LEAK SO HE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO THEN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND REMOVED THE TANK AND REPLACED IT WITH A USED TANK AND WHATEVER PART WAS NEEDED TO FIX THE ISSUE SO SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT SMELLED ANYMORE GASOLINE BUT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REFUSES TO GO OFF NOT TO MENTION I RECEIVE A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING THAT THERE WAS SOME SORT OF RECALL ON MY EXACT YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE AND THAT I COULD SEND IN A CLAIM TO GET BACK THE $500 I PUT INTO FIXING THE VEHICLE THINKING IT WAS NOW SAFE FOR MY FAMILY SO I PAID TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONLY MY NEW TANK IS USED SO I'M GUESSING I'LL BE HAVING THIS ISSUE AGAIN AT SOME POINT WHICH IS VERY SCARY CONSIDERING I DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE PLUS I'M OUT THE $500 STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX AGAIN SHOULD THE PROBLEM ARISE AND I DIDN'T KEEP THE RECEIPT FROM MY MECHANIC THINKING PROBLEM SOLVED I PUT IT ASIDE IT THREW IT AWAY SO I'M JUST CURIOUS IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO BECAUSE KNOWING THE TANKS HAVE ISSUES AND I'VE JUST PAID $500 FOR ANOTHER RECALLED TANK PRETTY MUCH SO I'M AT A POINT WHERE I HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO TAKE A LOSS ON THE MONEY I PAID TO FIX THE VEHICLE BEFORE I KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL NOT TO MENTION I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIE RODS TWICE AND IT'S POPPING AGAIN WHEN I MAKE TURNS I LOVE THIS VEHICLE BUT NOW I'M SUPER NERVOUS OF IT

THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. PLASTIC GAS TANK LEAKS. GMC DOES NOT CARE. I TALKED WITH THEM THEY IGNORE REPAIR IS $1,600.00 OR MORE. PEOPLE ARE FIXING WITH GLUE? GASOLINE SPILL FROM CRACKED PLASTIC FUEL TANK.

I SMELL GAS ALL THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING

WHILE TRAVELING 55 MILES PER HOUR ON ICY ROADS MY VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AND HIT A GUARD RAIL, THEN A TELEPHONE PHONE WHICH WAS KNOCKED OVER CAUSING IT TO ROLL 3 TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. DURING THE ACCIDENT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. AS TRAUMATIC AS THE ACCIDENT WAS I FEEL THEY SHOULD OF WENT OFF.

FUEL PUMP MODULE CORROSION CAUSING LEAKING FUEL AND FUEL VAPORS FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT AS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE SITS LOWER THAN THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE FUEL TANK AND MOISTURE AND DEBRIS ACCUMULATE ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. THE TOP OF THE MODULE IS NOT MANUFACTURED WITH APPROPRIATE RUST-PROOFING MEASURES AND THE MATERIALS USED LEAVE IT PRONE TO RUSTING AND FAILURE, COMPROMISING THE SEAL AND ALLOWING FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE TANK. THIS POSES A FIRE HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF FUEL IS ABLE TO REACH HEATED EXHAUST PIPES, ETC. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO A A GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS DENIED REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR. THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS SINCE EXPIRED, PROVING THAT GM IS / WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. GIVEN THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE, THIS SHOULD BE ESCALATED TO RECALL STATUS DUE TO THE INHERENT SAFETY ISSUE AND FIRE RISK.

WHERE THE TOP OF THE NESK OF THE FUEL TANK MEETS THE FUEL PUMP IT IS BROKEN WHERE THE 2 MEET. FUEL VAPORS, AS WELL AS ACTUAL FUEL LEAKING ON THE GROUND R BOTH PRESENT. STATIONARY , AS WELL AS, IN MOTION.

DUE TO A BRAKE PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE PROBLEM (OPEN/SHORTED CIRCUIT), THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES AT ABOUT 8 MPH IN LOW SPEED STOPPING SITUATIONS ON WET AND DRY DRIVING SURFACES CAUSING TEMPORARY ENGINE STALLING AND POWER STEERING CONTROL LOSS AND LENGTHENED DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.

MY 2003 GMC ENVOY JUST TURNS OFF AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. OUT OF NO WHERE, WHILE DRIVING, WAITING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN MY CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN/TURNS OFF. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. SECONDLY THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT ON MY 2003 GMC REMAINS ON. TOOK IT INTO BEEN SERVICED BY THE GMC DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. NOW I CANNOT GET MY CAR TO PASS INSPECTION NOR GET IT REGISTER. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY SLT MODEL 4.2L V6 4WD AND AS I WAS BACKING INTO MY GARAGE I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WHINNING NOISE AND I NOW HAVE NO REVERSE GEAR AND WHEN I SELECT THE DRIVE GEAR ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION I HAVE A WHINNING NOISE, I HAVE READ THE BLOGS ON THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THAT GM AND GMC ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME UP TO $2,800.00 PLUS TAX TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REMOVED AND A RE-MANUFACTURED ON REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS JUST GLAD THAT THIS MATTER HAPPENED AT MY RESIDENCE AND NOT ON SOME BACK ROAD IN WEST VA., I BELIEVE THAT AS STATED, GM AND GMC IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE 4L603 TRANSMISSION THAT WERE USED IN THESE VEHICLES' AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE SUN-SHELL AND THE REACTION SUN GEARS THAT ARE LIKE A GRENADE EXPLODING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE FOR A RECALL TO BE STARTED ON THIS PROBLEM AND THE OWNERS TO BE PAID BACK ON ALL OF THESE REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DEFLATED ON BOTH SIDES ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BOTTOM OUT ON STOPS. UPDATED 07/08/15

I NOTICED A ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET. THE ENGINE MADE AN UNUSUAL NOISE SO I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, THE CAR STARTED WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR RAN FOR A SHORT TIME THEN STOPPED AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART ITSELF ABOUT 5 TIMES. OUR MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND SAID THERE HAD BEEN A FIRE IN THE FUSE BOX. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE CHARRED REMAINS OF THE FUSE BOX, COVER AND CONNECTORS. MOST OF THE PLASTIC CONNECTORS UNDER THE FUSE BOX COULD NOT BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY HAD MELTED AND WERE FUSED ONTO THE BOX. HE NOTED THE FIRE SEEMED TO ORIGINATE FROM FUSE 46, THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE. FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT ISSUES INVOLVING BULBS THAT WERE BURNING OUT FREQUENTLY OR WERE GOING OUT THEN COMING BACK ON.

MECHANIC SAID FUEL RAIL RUPTURED DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND LEAKED GASOLINE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE INJURING OCCUPANTS. REPAIRS COST 1400DOLLARS

WAS INSPECTING CAR AND HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO DEALERSHIP THAT FRONT END HAD A STRANGE NOISE WHEN WE GO OVER A ROUGH ROAD. WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE FUEL SMELL IS COMING FROM I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE WELD NEXT TO THE SHOCK MOUNT . I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS REPAIR THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW ALL I CAN THINK IS THAT THEY SAW THIS AND DID A REPAIR AND NOT TELLING US SO IF YOUR CAR IS CREAKING CHECK THE FRONT END COULD BE FALLING APART.

IN 2013 WE TOOK R VEHICLE TO GET SMOGED IT WOULDN'T PASS THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK AND THEY CAN USE SOME STUFF ON IT TO PATCH IT ,NOW A YEAR GOES BY MY SON IS USING THE CAR PUTTING GAS IN THE AT THE STATION AND ANOTHER LADY TELLS HIM YOUR LEAKING GAS TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY IN TRACY CA THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND MY HUSBAND TOLD THEM WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THIS AND HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND IT WOULD COST US 1600.00 NOW MY GMC IS SETTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WE R TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT THAT IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE AND ITS UNDRIVABLE THE NECK GOING TO THE GAS TANK IS CRACKED , MY SON DROVE THIS VEHICLE WITH HIS BABY FOR QUITE AWHILE AND THIS HAS SCARED ME TO DEATH I THINK GMC NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND FIX THIS PROBLEM ON MY CAR WE WOULD OF TAKEN IT IN RIGHT AWAY IF WE HAD KNOW ABOUT IT AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. *TR

THE REAR DOOR CLOSURE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLUNG OPEN UPON ENTERING THE ON RAMP FOR THE HIGHWAY. THIS VEHICLE NOW HAS TWO DOORS THAT WILL NOT LATCH, DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND RECALL.

I WENT INSIDE WAL-MART FOR MAYBE 1/2 HOUR AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE WINDOW WAS BUSTED OUT. WE THOUGHT SOME PUNK SMASHED THE WINDOW SO WE CALLED THE POLICE. THEY WATCHED THE VIDEO OF THE PARKING LOT AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO ONE BY THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED. I DON'T SEE HOW IT CAN JUST "MAGICALLY" SMASH INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES WITH NO ONE AROUND BUT AFTER READING THROUGH OTHER COMPLAINTS I CAN SEE THAT I'M NOT ALONE. OF THE 202 COMPLAINTS ON HERE THERE ARE 10 (THIS MAKES 11) INCIDENCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED AND GMC IS NOT RECALLING THEM? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $500.00 FOR A BRAND NEW WINDOW AND IT IS A WEEK AND A HALF BEFORE CHRISTMAS. WE TRIED TO FIND ONE IN THE JUNKYARDS BUT THEY COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS A NEW ONE. I AM SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW. *TR

I STARTED EXPERIENCING A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE VEHICLES WAS SHUT DOWN. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE ODOR I COULD NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE LEAKS UNDER THE VEHICLE, AFTER ABOUT A WEEK I STARTED NOTICING DRIPS OF FUEL UNDER THE VEHICLE. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO FIND THE LEAK AND NOTICED A VERY FINE SPRAY OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. I THEN DROPPED THE FUEL TANK AND NOTICED THAT TUBE FROM THE FUEL PUMP WAS CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS SPRAYING GASOLINE WHILE UNDER PRESSURE. THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED IN A LOW POINT ON THE TOP OF THE TANK WHICH ALLOWS FOR ROAD DEBRIS/SALT AND WATER TO SIT AND ERODE THESE TUBES ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ANY FORM OF IGNITION TO CAUSE AN UNCONTROLLABLE FIRE. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPAIR THIS UNDER A MANDATED RECALL DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY ENVOY NEW WITH 243 MILES & HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER. MY SECURITY LIGHT GOES ON & OFF INTERMITTENTLY & THE VEHICLE WON'T START FOR 10-20 MINUTE TIME PERIODS. THERE IS NO APPARENT PATTERN W/WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN AREAS THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE, OFTENTIMES WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I INITIALLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ALBERT GMC, WHERE I PURCHASED IT (NO LONGER IN SERVICE, SO EXACT DATE/MILEAGE UNKNOWN). DIAGNOSTICS RETURNED MULTIPLE CODES, ALL RELATED TO THE SECURITY SYSTEM.

AT GM'S DIRECTION 6 WEEKS AGO, I TOOK THE ENVOY BACK TO A DEALERSHIP,[XXX], & HAD TO PAY ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC FEE, WHICH ONLY SHOWED THAT THE PASSLOCK SENSOR WAS BAD. I HAD THE PASSLOCK SENSOR REPLACED 1/19/11 & EXPERIENCED THE STARTING ISSUE AGAIN WITHIN 2 MONTHS. GM WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THEIR PART SINCE IT WAS NOT INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A GM CERTIFIED PART.

FOLLOWING AN INDEPENDENCE DAY BASEBALL GAME AND FIREWORKS DISPLAY, I WENT TO THE PARKING LOT TO LOAD MY FAMILY AND SOME PERSONAL BELONGINGS. I OPENED THE REAR HATCH AND FELT A SLIGHT BAULKING ON THE RIGHT SIDE. IN THE NEXT FRACTION OF A SECOND A SHOT GUN SOUND WENT OFF AND THE WINDOW EXPLODED IN MY FACE RAINING HEAVY GLASS INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR AND THE PARKING LOT. MIRACULOUSLY, I RECEIVED ONLY A MINOR CUT ACROSS MY EYEBROW, BUT A LARGE CHUNK WAS CUT OUT OF THE THUMB OF MY RIGHT HAND FOR WHICH I HAD TO GO TO URGENT CARE AND MAY HAVE TO CONSULT WITH A PLASTIC SURGEON AS IT HEALS/ SCARS IN ORDER TO RETAIN FLEXIBILITY IN MY THUMB. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TURNING OFF HER IGNITION, THE DOORS LOCKED LEAVING HER TRAPPED IN THE CAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,134.

MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS AND WINDOW CONTROLS HAVE CEASED TO OPERATE. EVIDENTLY FLUID MAY ENTER THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, CAUSING CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE DOOR MODULE WHICH CAUSED THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SHORT MAY ALSO CAUSE OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD MELT COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR MODULE, PRODUCING AN ODOR, SMOKE, OR A FIRE. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A RECALL FROM GM AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, IF IT IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, A PROTECTIVE COATING WILL BE APPLIED. IF THE MODULE IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, IT WILL BE REPLACED. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 12180. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO MY AUTOMOBILE...MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

GMC IS SUPPOSE TO BE QUALITY HOWEVER, THE REAR SUSPENSION STARTS OUT GETTING LOWER AND LOWER UNTIL THE REAR SUSPENSION DROPPED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVEN. BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS SITTING ON THE REAR TIRES AND IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE DRIVEN, THE TIRES WOULD BLOW OUT AND CAUSE A CRASH AND POSSIBLY A FATALITY! THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINT AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE ENVOY AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC, CAUSING EVERYONE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES, AND MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE REAR-ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR IS TOTALED BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. *JS

DRIVING AT APPROX. 2:30 PM IN INTERMITTENTLY RAINY CONDITIONS- I SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF UNABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE AND HAD TROUBLE SEEING MY SURROUNDINGS EVEN THOUGH I HAD NEW RAIN-X WIPERS ON. WHILE I APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY DID NOT WORK AS EFFECTIVELY AS THEY SHOULD. ADDITIONALLY, AFTER THE FIRST AND SECOND IMPACT (MULTIPLE VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED)- NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AND STILL THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. RESULTED IN TWO FATALITIES IN ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY, FACIAL FRACTURES THAT REQUIRED SURGERY, AND A BROKEN COLLAR BONE FROM THE SEAT BELT THAT I COULD NOT AFFORD THE MEDICAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED FOR REPAIR. *JS

THE CAR DIES FOR NO REASON IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE FIRST DAY I GOT THE CAR. THE CAR ALSO FUNCTIONS LIKE IT HAS HYDROLICS FOR A WHILE IT WILL BE LOW TO THE GROUND WHILE I'M DRIVING IT THEN OUT OF NO WHERE IT WOULD RAISE UP I HAD TO GET THE SUSPENSION DONE WHEN I GOT IT BECAUSE IT WAS OLD AND ALSO THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION ALSO IF I PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON IT WILL TURN ON THE HEAT THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING FROM A DRIVEWAY, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AS THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129345.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH, GAS GAUGE WENT COMPLETELY DOWN TO E WITH A FULL TANK. THE NEEDLE WAS BASICALLY READING IN THE SAME POSITION AS WHEN IT IS IN THE OFF POSITION. AFTER THAT HAPPENED THE VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER STARTED READING INCORRECT SPEEDS I WILL BE AT A DEAD STOP AND AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY SPEEDOMETER WILL BE READING 75 MPH STUCK. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2007 APPROXIMATELY AND LISTED CERTAIN GM VEHICLES BUT THIS ONE WAS NOT INCLUDED. I THINK THAT GM NEEDS TO LOOK AT THIS AFFECTING OTHER MODELS AND MAKES THEY REPLACED SOME VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE STEP MOTOR IN THE CLUSTER GAUGE. IF YOU TAKE THE GM DEALERSHIP THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU $500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR ON A ISSUE THAT IS BEING REPLACED ON OTHER MODELS. PLEASE PLEASE GET THIS TO BE RECALL THIS IS A ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT VERY BAD IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

SMELLING OF GAS AND LEAKING ON GROUND, AS I'M READING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH IS VERY SERIOUS. I REALLY THINK GM NEEDS TO INCLUDE THIS 2003 GMC ENVOY AS PART OF THEIR RECALL AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS IT LOOKS LIKE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RECALLED. GUESS HUMAN LIFE IS NOT IMPORTANT.GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING OF THE ENVOY SLT 2003 WAS COMPLETELY INTERRUPTED DUE TO A BROKEN SHAFT IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP. AS A RESULT THE SERPENTINE BELT SLIPPED ON THE EDGE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP PULLEY AND WAS WEARING OUT QUICKLY, WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A BROKEN BELT. *TR

MY CAR IS REAPING WITH THE SMELL OF GAS ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE CENTER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEING HAZARDOUS AND ALL THEY OFFERED WAS A $150 VOUCHER AVAILABLE AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP. I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY 2006/2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS MATTER AND THE 2003 MODEL WAS NOT RECALLED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT WILL EXPLODE! *TR

DROVE TO WORK SATURDAY NIGHT 12/07/2013 PARKED CAR AT 7:30 PM WENT IN TO WORK .CAME OUT TO MY CAR AT 10:00PM FOR BREAK TO SEE MY CAR SMOKING THE PASSENGERS HEATED SEAT TURNED IT'S SELF ON AT SOME POINT AND WAS ON FIRE BURNING THE SEAT AND MY COOLER THAT WAS SITTING ON THE SEAT WAS ON FIRE AND SMOKE FILLED THE CAR WAS MAKING IT HARD TO BREATH THE SMOKE WAS THICK AND SMELLED TOXIC. ME AND MY FELLOW EMPLOYEES DUMPED SNOW ON AND UNDER THE SEAT FROM AS FAR,AWAY AS WE COULD TILL THE SMOKE CALMED DOWN.TO GET THE FIRE OUT.I AM SO GRATEFUL I WAS NOT DRIVING OR THERE WAS NO PERSON SITTING ON THE SEAT AT THE TIME COULD OF CAUSED ME TO WRECK MYSELF OR OTHERS.ON MY DRIVE HOME COULD NOT USE THE HEAT DUE TO THE FUMES BEING TO STRONG WITH THE WINDOWS UP AND HEAT ON HAD TO DRIVE WITH NO HEAT AND WINDOWS DOWN 40 MINUTES WITH THE TEMPS IN THE TEENS. *TR

ON 12/5/2013, I LEFT THE SCHNUCKS GROCERY STORE AROUND 4PM FOR HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED AT HOME, I BACKED IN THE GARAGE AND MY HUSBAND WAS WAITING AT THE GARAGE DOOR FOR ME SO HE COULD GET THE GROCERIES. AS I WAS GETTING OUT OF MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL, MY HUSBAND WAS GETTING THE GROCERIES AND STARTED TO TELL ME SOMETHING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD THIS EXTREMELY LOUD POP/EXPLOSION (LIKE A GUN SHOT) AND GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND IMMEDIATELY ASKED MY HUSBAND IF HE WAS OK. THE SHATTERED GLASS HAD CUT HIM ON HIS FOREHEAD. THERE WAS GLASS SHATTERED EVERYONE IN THE SUV, IN MY GROCERIES, IN THE GARAGE, IN MY HUSBAND'S HOODIE, AND EVEN ON MY 2013 CHARGER NEXT TO IT. THE HINGES WERE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ENVOY WITH SOME HANGING GLASS STILL ATTACHED. AND WHAT'S EVEN MORE SHOCKING IS THAT THE REAR BROKEN WINDOW KEPT POPPING AT THE HINGES AND PIECES OF REMAINING GLASS WOULD CONTINUE TO BREAK OFF AND DROP. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE VEHICLE TO REPLACE MY WINDOW AND TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THEY SAID THAT SINCE I HAVE 137,000MILES AND HAD THE VEHICLE TEN YEARS, IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHETHER IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY IF THE VEHICLE GM MADE IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY ENVOY UNTIL NOW. I'M PURSUING MATTERS FURTHER SO THEY HAVE NOT HEARD THE LAST FROM ME. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ALSO CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE GM HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING THE PRESIDENT OF THE GM COMPANY BECAUSE MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT AND THEY NEED TO INCUR THE COSTS OF REPAIRS, NOT ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, HE SLIGHTLY CRASHED INTO A CURB AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OVER IN A DITCH.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES MANUAL SWITCH FOR 2HI,AWD,4HI,4LOW. THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE USED VEHICLE FROM FIXED THE ISSUE RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE AND I'M HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCH. I TRY TO SELECT ANYTHING BESIDES 2HI AND THE SELECTOR WILL JUST CONTINUE TO BLINK ON THE SELECTION WITHOUT ANY ACTION. SOMETIMES THE SERVICE 4WD WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE/COMPLAINT OF OTHER ENVOY OWNERS ONLINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS BEING FILLED, FUEL WOULD LEAK AS THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

DRIVING IN A SCHOOL ZONE LOOKED AT SPEEDOMETER TO CHECK SPEED I WAS IN A 40 MPH ZONE AND SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS DOING 70 MPH. SCHOOL ZONE HAD A " YOUR SPEED IS" DISPLAY AND I WAS ONLY GOING 38 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASED AS I INCREASED SPEED BUT WAS 30 MPH OVER. AFTER I GOT HOME AND TURNED MY TRUCK OFF THE SPEEDOMETER STILL SHOWED MPH. *JB

AFTER SIX MONTHS HAVING PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL DEALER, I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, NOR WERE THE POWER WINDOW DEVICES, CONTROLS, POWER LOCKS AND ALSO THE VISIBILITY OF DRIVER'S REAR WINDOW. I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR WOULD OVERHEAT AND SOMETIMES I CAN SMELL AN ODOR SIMILAR TO WHEN SOMETHING IS BURNING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND FINDING THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIFFICULT. ON JUNE 2013, I READ ON THE MSN WEBSITE THAT THE GMC ENVOYS FOR 2006 AND 2007 WERE BEING RECALLED (RECALL #13V248000) IN REGARDS TO DRIVER'S MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH. SINCE I AM HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, WITH MY 2003 ENVOY, I CALLED GMC AND EXPLAINED TO HER THAT I AM HAVING THAT SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2003 ENVOY. SHE INDICATED THAT GMC WOULD PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE LABOR EVEN THOUGH MY CAR'S MILEAGE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR 2006 & 2007 ENVOYS. SHE CONNECTED ME TO [XXX] FOR AN APPT. WITH BALISE THE FOLLOWING DAY. SHE ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER 71-1219059371. THE FOLLOWING DAY, AUGUST 28, 2013, I WENT TO MY APPOINTMENT AT 11 AM. AND LEFT MY CAR. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, I GET A CALL FROM GMC INDICATING TO ME THAT SHE WAS SORRY, BUT THAT GMC COULD NOT COVER THE COST OF DIAGNOSTIC FEE LABOR. I SAID, "THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU TOLD ME YESTERDAY" AND SHE REPLIED, "I AM SORRY, I WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO TELL YOU THAT". I SAID TO HER, "I WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN TIME OFF FROM WORK, ASK FOR A RIDE, BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION IF YOU HAD TOLD ME THAT BEFORE". I ALSO SAID TO HER, "HOW CAN YOU TELL ME YOU ARE COVERING THE COST YESTERDAY AND TODAY CHANGE YOUR MIND". ALL SHE RESPONDED WAS, "I AM SORRY". I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HER SUPERVISOR BY THE NAME OF [XXX] AND THE SUPERVISOR JUST SAID THAT HER EMPLOYEE WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO SAY TO ME THAT GMC WOULD COVER THE COST. I STILL HAVE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DROPPING MY BOAT OFF AT THE LOCAL STORAGE YARD WHERE I KEEP IT. I OPENED THE REAR HATCH OF MY ENVOY TO GET A BUCKET OUT OF THE INSIDE WHERE I KEEP THE BOAT'S ACCESSORIES.. THE HATCH WAS OPEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES WHEN IT EXPLODED AND RAINED GLASS ALL OVER ME AND INTO MY RIGHT EYE. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN WENT OFF, BUT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON AROUND. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR EARLIER, THE CHMSL PLASTIC FLEW OFF ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR THAT SWERVED TO AVOID IT BEHIND ME. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT AND GM HAS REDESIGNED THE BACK DOOR . MINE SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I AM NOT ABOUT TO SPEND 700 ON GLASS SO IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AND POSSIBLY HURT SOMEONE ELSE. *JS

DRIVING IN A SCHOOL ZONE OF 25 MILES PER HOUR AND BEGAN TO SMELL A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. THE GAUGES ON THE DASH REMAINED NORMAL. PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT PARKING LOT OF A TRACTOR SUPPLY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW IMMEDIATELY WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. WE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FIRST THE POSITIVE, THEN THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION. FINALLY GOT THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED AND THE SMOKE CONTINUED. THE RESULT WAS A MELTED FUSE BOX RELAY BLOCK A HOLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND A DAMAGED ELECTRICAL HARNESS. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. IT WAS TOWED. A CLAIM WAS TURNED INTO GEICO AND WAS DENIED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $1000-2500 TO REPAIR. I HAVE NOTICED THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE SHOWROOM FLOOR TILL NOW. NO PROBLEMS, WARNINGS, ETC. WHAT TO DO NOW? *TR

IN 2010 AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK IN MY VERY WELL KEPT/SERVICED 2003 GMC ENVOY I BEGAN DRIVING HOME AND NOTICED THAT MY GAS GAUGE WASN'T WORKING. THE TANK WAS FULL BUT THE FUEL GAUGE READ BELOW THE EMPTY. AFTER TAPPING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, CHECKING FUSES, ETC NOTHING WORKED SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT GMC HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. EITHER THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OR THE SENSOR IS BAD AND MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST $500 - $600. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS QUITE THE PROBLEM AMONGST GMC VEHICLE OWNERS AND CONFIRMED THAT GMC WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT... NOW MY FUEL GAUGE READS DIFFERENTLY AT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED; BUT IT NEVER READS CORRECTLY.... THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND GMC SHOULD STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR INFERIOR PARTS.... *TR

OPENED UP SIDE REAR WINDOW AND FELL OUT LUCKILY I WAS PARKED AND JUST GETTING READY TO LEAVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT UPPER CONTROL ARM WAS RUSTED AND CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I GOT HOME ONE EVENING AND WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. I WAS CONCERNED; AS I COULD NOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE RUNNING ALL NIGHT; AT THAT POINT I TRIED TO ENGAGE THE KEY AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING . I BECAME CONCERNED AND STARTED TO FIDDLE WITH THE KNOBS AND WAS SURPRISED WHEN AFTER TURNING THE HIGHLIGHT SWITCH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE NEXT MORNING I HESTITATELY ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I WAS SUCCESSFUL I HEADED STRAIGHT TO THE GMC DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM AND THE IGNITION WIRING HAD TO BE REDONE; (THE COST WAS $1600.00) I STARTED A DIALOG WITH GM AND THEY ENGAGED ME WITH SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS; WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD PICK UP THE COST; AS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE NOT PART OF ANY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE THAT I AS A OWNER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. WHEN I MADE A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD (OR WOULD DO). I COULD SEE IF IT WERE RELATED TO AN OIL CHANGE. BRAKES,FILTERS,ETC. BUT AS A OWNER THIS ITEM IS OUTSIDE OF MY AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND MAKE ME AND OTHERS WHOLE. PS. *TR

SOME TIMES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE THROTTLE ALSO ADVANCES CAUSING UNWANTED ACCELERATION. HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY FACTORY RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

MY DAD WAS DRIVING HIS 2003 GMC ENVOY XL HOME FROM WORK AND HE FELT A SMALL EXPLOSION AND SAW BLACK SMOKE OUT OF HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR. SO HE PULLED OVER, GOT OUT, AND THERE WERE FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE CAR. WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES THE CAR EXPLODED. A FIRE FIGHTER AND STATE TROOPER PULLED OVER TO HELP HIM, AND THEY BOTH SAID THE FIRE LOOKED LIKE IT STARTED FROM A FUEL LEAK BECAUSE THE FLAMES WERE "DRIPPING" UNDER THE CAR. AFTER RESEARCHING RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS, I AM INFURIATED THAT THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS FILED OVER THIS PROBLEM, AND EVEN AN INVESTIGATION WAS DONE, BUT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS ENOUGH TO BE A RECALL. I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF HE HAD WAITED TO PULL OVER AT THE NEXT EXIT OR THE FIRST EXPLOSION HAD BEEN BIGGER. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALMOST ALL YEARS OF THIS MODEL SINCE 2002. I HOPE NOTHING LIKE THIS, OR SOMETHING WORSE, HAPPENS TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR ..

THE WARNING SIGNS WERE RANDOM: A "SECURITY" WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD, THE WINDOW SAFETY LOCK BECAME INOPERABLE, WINDOWS WOULDN'T SOMETIMES OPEN OR CLOSE, ALTERNATOR WOULDN'T CHARGE AND THE RADIO WAS LOCKED, ETC.. MY GOLDEN RETRIEVER/DOG COULD HAVE BEEN CHOKED BY THE ELECTRIC WINDOW CONTROL AS SHE STANDS ON THE ARMREST WITH HER HEAD OUT THE HALF OPEN WINDOW. INSTEAD, WE WERE VERY LUCKY IN THAT THE WINDOW OPENED ALL OF THE WAY INSTEAD AND SHE DIDN'T FALL OUT. THIS WINDOW CONTROL IS THE TOGGLE TYPE, PRE THE SAFETY ONES. THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT BATTERY ALSO FAILED WITH A DEAD CELL. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK. *TGW ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR INVOICE, THE FUEL TANK NECK WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING.

HEAVY CLEAR COAT AND PAINT ISSUES. CLEAR COAT CHIPPING, PEELING AND FLAKING OFF OF PAINT, PAINT FADING. THE PROBLEM IS SEVERE, AND HAPPENS IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. *TR

THE CAR STARTING LEAKING GAS AND I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD START A FIRE. I FOUND OUT THAT THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK WAS CRACKED. REPLACEMENT COST WAS $1,220.68. GMC SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM FOR MY CAR BUT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE ENVOY XL. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. 8/29/2012. I BOUGHT A USED 2003 GMC ENVOY XL SLE/SLT AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM SHERMAN OF SKOKIE IL. ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT PIECE THAT COVERS THE TOP OF THE REAR WINDOW BASICALLY FELL OFF THE CAR ON A WINDY DAY. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT BROKE LEADING TO THE ENTIRE PIECE FALLING OFF HANGING BY THE 2 WIRES THAT CONNECT FOR POWER. I LIVE IN ALGONQUIN IL AND RECENTLY HAVE SEEN THREE OTHER ENVOYS WITH THE SAME MISSING THIRD LIGHT PIECE IN A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. I HAVE LOOKED UP RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT SURPRISINGLY HAVE FOUND NONE. KNOWING I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN SEVERAL ENVOYS WITH THE SAME MISSING THIRD LIGHT PIECE I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD BUT IT'S THE LAW TO HAVE A THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IN ILLINOIS. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT TO A DEALER SINCE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AND I DO NOT HAVE THE OUT OF POCKET CASH TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. RESPECTFULLY I WOULD LIKE THIS THIRD BRAKE LIGHT PIECE REPLACED AND FIXED AT NO COST TO ME. I DO HAVE THE THIRD LIGHT PIECE THAT FELL OFF TO GIVE BACK TO YOU SO YOU CAN INSPECT IT. I WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF RECEIVING THIS LETTER. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THIS IS THE LETTER I SENT GMC AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO! *TR

THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR CABLE BECAME DISENGAGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, THERE IS A SMALL PLASTIC BUSHING THAT BECAME BRITTLE AND FELL OFF CAUSING THE FAILURE OF THE CABLE TO MAINTAIN A CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO BECOME LOCKED IN THE PARK POSITION AND UNABLE TO BE MOVED INTO ANY OTHER DRIVE. WHILE I WAS IN A SAFE LOCATION, I'M CONCERNED THAT OTHER DRIVERS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS WILL BECOME STRANDED IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOT SAFE. I CONDUCTED A RECALL SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS ITEM HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I PLACED A CALL TO GENERAL MOTORS AND LODGED A COMPLAINT. ACCORDING TO GM, THEY HAVE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT ARE NOT ISSUING A RECALL AT THIS TIME. I ASKED GM TO PROVIDE ME THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THEY HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT THIS AND THEY DECLINED TO GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION. I AM SEEKING TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT, HAVE IT REVIEWED, AND DETERMINE WHETHER A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,404 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,536.

WHILE DRIVING, SEVERAL INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. (ABS, SEATBELT, BATTERY PRIMARILY) THESE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GO OFF, ONE BY ONE. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THE BATTERY LIFE METER DROPPED TO ZERO. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RE-START. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, THE BATTERY ITSELF TESTED THAT IT WAS GOOD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, ANYWAY, HOPING IT SOLVED THE ISSUES, BUT THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUE TO TURN ON WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A DAY OR SO, THEY TURN OFF AND THEN DAYS LATER WILL COME ON AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES BY TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND NEITHER COULD FIND A SOLUTION OUTSIDE OF REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND OTHER GMC MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THE ENVOY BEEN INCLUDED? IT'S OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AS WELL. (ALTHOUGH, OTHER THAN THE AIRBAG RECALL, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICES ABOUT ANY OTHER RECALLS REGARDING MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ISSUES). *TR

I HAVE A 03 ENVOY SXL THAT SMELLED LIKE GAS, THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE HOSE. I HAD THAT REPLACED AND NOW IT LEAKS GAS GOING DOWNHILL. AS I SAW OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND MOST IF NOT ALL THAT HAS SUV'S HAVE CHILDREN. IF THE SAME MODEL PART WAS RECALLED ON THE TRAILBLAZER WHY NOT ENVOY'S? GMC SHOULD RECALL ALL CARS THAT HAS THE MODEL NUMBER TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE THEY GO UP IN FLAMES WITH OUR CHILDREN. *TR

THE CATAYTIC CONVERTER BROKE INTO PIECES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 25 MPH. *JS

IT'S SEEMS CRAZY TO ME THAT THIS AGENCY THAT WAS CREATED TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM FAULTY VEHICLES CAN LET SO MANY COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS MANUFACTURER THAT WAS BAILED OUT BY TAXPAYERS MONEY CAN BE SO BLIND TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON GMC PART. I HAVE SPENT COUNT LESS HOURS AND WAY TOO MUCH MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE LITERALLY SAT DOWN AND CRIED VOWING NEVER TO BY ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE CAR BECAUSE THEY ARE PIECES OF JUNK (AND THAT IS PUTTING IT NICELY). I HAVE PAID TO REPLACE THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND ALL THAT GOES WITH THAT; THE CATALYST CONVERTER TWICE; THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND NOW MY RADIO DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE THERE IS A SHORT THAT IS DRAINING THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF; THE SPEED CONTROL (MPH/RPM) DOESN'T WORK AND I ONLY PRAY THAT I'M NOT SPEEDING WHILE I'M DRIVING; THE REAR WIPER BLADE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT; MY CAR INTERIOR CONSTANTLY SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE AND WHEN I'M FILLING UP MY TANK IT THERE IS ALWAYS SPILLAGE; MY SES LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYS ON AND SINCE MY STATE PRACTICES EMISSION CONTROL I HOLD MY BREATH AND PRAY THAT I PASS THE TEST SO I CAN LEGALLY DRIVE MY CAR. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I FACE WITH THIS CAR AND FRANKLY THIS YEAR I'M NOT WORKING SO COMING UP WITH THE MONEY TO PAY AGAIN TO HAVE A MECHANIC REMOVE THE SES LIGHT SO I CAN GO HAVE THE EMISSION TESTING PERFORMED IS RIDICULOUS AND DRAINING A WALLET THAT IS VERY MUCH EMPTY. MY CAR NOW HAS MORE MILEAGE & I HAVEN'T HEARD MY RADIO IN OVER 2 YEARS BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG SO THEY JUST DISCONNECTED IT. WHY HAVEN'T THE NHTSA/DOT REQUIRED GMC TO FIX WHAT THEY KNOW IS BROKEN AND A HAZARD ON THE ROADS? I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES CONTROL AND PEOPLE LIVES ARE LOST. DON'T LET THIS BECOME ANOTHER TOYOTA ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE HIGH BEAM EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALSO FAILED TO ILLUMINATE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

(2003 GMC ENVOY XL) I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND THAT MY WIFE AND KIDS HAVE BEEN RIDING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS AN EXPLOSION WAITING TO HAPPEN. GENERAL MOTORS HAS EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY ON FUEL TANK ISSUES 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF A FLAWED DESIGN. I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS BEFORE PURCHASING, AS I BELIEVE I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE SEEN THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION BUT NOT TO THE MAGNITUDE TO WHICH IT IS OCCURRING. I WONDER IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE A FIERY DEATH BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED SERIOUSLY ? I HAVE COMPILED MANY ACCOUNTS OF CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE AND HAVE RECORDS TO SHARE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT, ONLY TO BE PUT ON HOLD FOR A TOTAL OF 153 MINUTES IN THE REALM OF 4 CALLS WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS ENGINEERING FAILURE CONSIST OF GREAT NUMBERS STILL ON THE ROAD. UNLUCKY ONES LIKE MYSELF WILL NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS UNTIL TOTAL FAILURE OCCURS AND AT THAT TIME GM'S POOR DESIGN BECOMES THE BURDEN OF THE CURRENT OWNER. I NEED HELP UNDERSTANDING HOW SUCH A SAFETY RISK CAN BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG WITH 493,579 OF THESE VEHICLES BEING SOLD. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE DESIGN WAS SO BAD THAT AFTERMARKET SUPPLIERS DO NOT EVEN OFFER THIS TANK. THE ONLY PLACE TO GET ONE IS FROM GM DEALER AT A PRICE OF $650.00, WHICH IS EXORBITANT FOR A PIECE OF PLASTIC. I NEED HELP WITH THIS MATTER BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ME, YOUR ACTIONS COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIVES ! *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY. FROM THE BEGINNING I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL WORKING PROPERLY (REARVIEW MIRRORS, SEAT CONTROLS, ETC). ALSO, MY FUEL INDICATOR AND SPEEDOMETER BOTH WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I BELIEVE GMC SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFAULT AND REQUEST A RECALL. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS DEALING WITH THE VERY SAME ISSUES ON MODELS FROM 2003 THRU 2011. *TR

STRONG ODER OF FUEL, SES LIGHT ON, LEAK FROM NECK OR PUMP (UNSURE OF EXACT LOCATION). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED.

THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ONE OF THE OIL COOLER LINE ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY IS CRACKED AND LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE CATAYLIC CONVERTER. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURE OF THE CONVERTER DURING NORMAL OPERATIONS. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN LTX M/S TIRES, TIRE SIZE 245/65/17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES EXHIBITED CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALLS AND SHOULDER AREA. THE CRACKS APPEARED TO BE EXTREMELY LARGER ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO TIRE CENTER FOR INSPECTION. THE TIRES HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,496. UPDATED 09/13/13*LJ

SPEEDOMETER STARTED DISPLAYING INCORRECT MPH. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH, SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 110MPH AND HAS CONTINUED TO TODAY. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SHOWS 60MPH. GMC HAS RECALLS FOR OTHER MAKES, NOT OURS. I GOOGLED THIS INFORMATION, TURNS OUT THOUSANDS OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED GM FOR ASSISTANCE, WAS TOLD MY MODEL WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE. THE REPAIR WILL COST $600-800. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY ISN'T THERE AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ASSIST. *TR

AT START UP, WHEN CAR IS COLD, THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL. WAS TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING IN VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. *TR

AFTER UNLOCKING AND USING THE REAR WINDOW GLASS MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY, AND TWICE EARLIER TODAY, IT EXPLODED ON THE WAY UP. THIS OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST 1 INCH OF TRAVEL SWINGING UP AND REARWARD FROM BEING CLOSED WITH VERY MINIMAL MANUAL FORCE APPLIED. THE TEMPERATURE TODAY IS 27DEG.F , WHICH IS NOT THE COLDEST USE THIS VEHICLE HAS SEEN. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY PREVIOUS DAMAGE TO THE REAR GLASS OR GATE, OR ANYTHING IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I WRITE THIS AT THE ADVICE OF MANY ONLINE FORUM POSTS AND COMPLAINTS THAT I READ THROUGH. I AM HOPING THERE IS SOME TIME DEVOTED BY GENERAL MOTORS TO FINDING A SOLUTION TO THIS. I JUST HAD TO RIDE HOME WITH WIFE AND 4 KIDS SHIVERING BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE SEEM TO BE HUNDREDS OF THESE SPONTANEOUS OCCURRENCES HAPPENING IN ALL TYPES OF CLIMATES AND CONDITIONS, WHICH IS WHAT CONVINCED ME I NEED TO SHARE MY INCIDENT TO FUEL THE CAUSE. THANK GOD EVERYONE IS OK. IT WAS COLD AND MY KIDS HAD THEIR HOODS UP AND WERE LOOKING DOWN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH ON A SLIGHTLY ICY ROADWAY.

I HAVE 2003 GMC ENVOY, SMELL GAS FUMES WHEN GAS TANK IS HALF FULL, NO GAS IS LEAKING ON THE GROUND. WILL CHEVY COVER SOME OF THESE REPAIRS? SEEMS LIKE A NUMBER OF OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM,. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND FIST OFF, MY SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY. THEN MY FUEL GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY TO FULL, THEN TO EMPTY. THEN IT WOULDN'T WORK AT ALL. THERE WAS PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK TOO, I TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THERMOSTAT, BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM AND HEARD THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005-2007, AND IT APPEARS I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS 2003 THAT THEY ARE HAVING NOW WITH THE NEWER ONES AND THE 2003 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. PLEASE EVALUATE. I ONLY HAVE 107K MILES ON THE TRUCK. I WAS TOLD, A RECALL COULD COVER UP TO 120K MILES, SO I STILL HAVE SOME WAY TO GO BEFORE I SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS STAYING ON TOO, ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO GET FIXED. NOW I AM HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE RELEASED SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE FRONT DRIVESHAFT HOUSING. THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT HOUSING AXEL WAS BROKEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ADDRESSING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 95,000.

FUEL LEAK COMING FROM TOP OF GAS TANK. I SUSPECT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. SEVERE RUST AND LIMITED VISIBILITY PREVENTED ME FROM IDENTIFYING 100 PERCENT. TALKED TO GM, THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM BUT SINCE IT HAPPENED 14,000 MILES BEYOND THEIR EXTENDED SPECIAL WARRANTY FOR THIS, THEY WILL DO NOTHING. BAD DESIGN IS A BAD DESIGN REGARDLESS OF MILES OR YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS HAVING A LEAK THIS BAD. WILL FIX MYSELF WHEN I COME UP WITH THE MONEY. *TR

EXTERIOR HEADLAMPS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING OCCASIONALLY. NOW I CAN NOT GET THEM TO COME BACK ON. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN INACCURATELY GIVING THE PROPER FUEL LEVEL. TODAY I NOTICED THE GAUGE IS NOW STUCK WAY PAST THE "FULL" LEVEL" AND DOES NOT MOVE. *TR

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A DISTINCT GAS ODOR BY THE VEHICLE. I HAD PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED A CAUTIONARY LETTER FROM GMC THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP INVOLVING POOLING AND PITTING AND EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO TEN YEARS TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. THE INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE WAS A "FUEL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AREA-FUEL PUMP MODULE LEAKING" THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS SUFFICIENTLY CONCERNED TO OFFER ME A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE REPAIR WAS MADE. HE SAID THAT IF I WERE TO HIT SOMETHING AND CREATE A SPARK I COULD BE IN JEOPARDY. I WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT A STRAY CIGARETTE BUTT THROWN OUT A WINDOW. HE ALSO GAVE ME THE CUSTOMER ASSURANCE TELEPHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO FILE A CLAIM. I DID CALL THE NEXT MORNING AND INFORMATION WAS GIVEN AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD THAT THE "DISTRICT " WOULD CALL ME. WHEN I RECEIVED THE CALL FROM THAT OFFICE SHE TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME THE FOLLOWING DAY. TEN MINUTES LATER SHE CALLED BACK AND SAID THAT GM WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW THERE WAS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SENT OUT WARNING LETTERS. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL CONSIDERING THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS INVOLVED. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE DID NOT READ THE LETTER AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD REPAIRS MADE AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE SO THEY NEVER REPORTED THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A COSTLY REPAIR AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE EXPENSE. I COUNT MYSELF LUCKY THAT IT IS NOT MY SERVIVING FAMILY FILING THIS COMPLAINT. *TT

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN REAR OF VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS RIDING LOW. GOT OFF HIGHWAY AT NEXT EXIT TO CHECK BACK OF TRUCK. REAR OF TRUCK WAS SITTING LOW. TURNED TRUCK OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED TRUCK BACK ON. THE REAR OF THE TRUCK DID NOT RISE. THIS CAN NOT BE SAFE FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM TO DISENGAGE WHILE DRIVING. I HAD PREVIOUSLY NOTICED WHEN THE TRUCK IS FIRST TURNED ON THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION WOULD ENGAGE AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD RISE. *TR

FUEL PUMP OUTLET TUBE WAS FOUND CORRODED THROUGH AFTER INFORMING THE LOCAL GMC DEALER OF GASOLINE ODORS WHEN GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN BRANDON, FLORIDA AND HAS ALWAYS REMAINED IN FLORIDA. *KB

I PURCHASED MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL IN 2008 FROM A NY DEALER WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT, THE CAR DIDN'T REGISTER ANY ACCIDENTS WITH CARFAX. THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR MY BATTERY WENT DEAD AND I WAS STRANDED AT 7AM WITH MY KIDS. THE DEALER PAID FOR THE TOW AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. A YEAR LATER WHILE DRIVING TO MY SONS BASKETBALL GAME AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER AND USED MY HAZARDS, MY SON INSPECTED THE LIGHTS AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING WAS BURNING..THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WIRE WAS BURNT BADLY. WE REPLACED THE LIGHT AND THE WIRING. THE NEXT DAY NOT ONLY DID THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BUT I COULDN'T PUT MY WINDOW UP! THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW PANEL DID NOT WORK, BUT THE OTHER WINDOWS WORKED FINE. I PAID $400 TO HAVE THE PANEL REPLACED. (NOW THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT PANEL IS NOT WORKING ON THE DRIVER SIDE) THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 3 YEARS! WHEN EVER I WOULD USE THE WINDOW, OR THE HEAT VENT, OR THE CHARGER INLETS IN MY CAR THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER DIM. MY MECHANIC DID A AMPS CHECK WHILE MY PHONE WAS PLUGGED IN,CAR WAS RUNNING,RADIO ON, AND HEATER ON AND STATED THE AMPS WERE FINE, UNTIL I HIT THE WINDOW BUTTON, THEN THE AMPS WENT WAY DOWN. COST TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR $350.00, THAT WAS IN 2010, SO FAR IN 2011 I HAVE AWOKEN 3 MORNINGS IN A ROW TO A DEAD CAR. I SAT IN THE CAR WITH CAR OFF, DOORS LOCKED ONE NIGHT TO SEE WHAT GOES ON OVER NIGHT..WELL THE ALARM SENSOR BUTTON DIDN'T STOP BLINKING RED, THE SEAT ADJUSTMENTS KEPT MOVING EVERY 4 MINS, THE REARVIEW MIRRORS WERE MOVING NON STOP, AND THE HORRIBLE BEEPING SOUND INSIDE THE CAR WAS NON STOP! THE RADIO DASH DIDN'T SHUT OFF EITHER, IT WAS PIPING HOT AFTER A HALF HOUR OF SITTING. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE AS WELL. FOR YEARS I ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE GAS IN THE TANK BECAUSE I REALLY NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS A HAVE. I CAN BUT $30 OR $40 IN GAS IN MY TANK AND MY GAUGE WILL READ WHATEVER IT WANTS. IT HAS SHOWN THAT I HAVE GAS AND I HAVE RAN OUT TWICE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS SCARY WITH TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I'VE SEEN THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN OTHER ENVOYS PARTICULARLY 2005 AND UP, BUT ALSO SEE THERE ARE INTERNET POSTS ON COMPLAINTS REGARDING 2003 MODELS AS WELL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION DROPPED DOWN TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVEN.

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY. TWO YEARS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING. IT NOW DOES NOT KEEP THE SPEED AT ALL. MY RPM (WHEN IN PARK) WILL REV UP TO 2 OR 3RPM, MY GAS GAUGE HAS NOW STARTED TO SOMETIMES NOT SHOW I HAVE ANY GAS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME, MY AIR CONDITIONER WILL BLOW OUT THE BACK VENT AND BARELY COME OUT OF THE FRONT VENT WHEN I HAVE IT UP FULL BLAST. AND TO TOP IT OFF MY BACK BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT.. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS FORUMS WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SOME OF THESE SAME ISSUES BUT NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL. I DEFINITELY THINK THESE BAD INSTRUMENT PANELS CALL FOR A RECALL!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO CUT A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC OVER THE SPEEDOMETER AND BEFORE IT QUIT COMPLETELY WORKING WHEN WE WOULD GO ON VACATION, WE WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON BUSY HIGHWAYS EVERY 20 MINUTES OR SO TO SET THE SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO SO IT WOULDN'T SHOW ME GOING 120MPH. OF COURSE I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT NOW. I'M JUST AMAZED I HAVEN'T ENDED UP WITH A TICKET FOR MY SPEED OR MY RUNNING OR BRAKE LIGHTS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE ENVOY IN TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO A GM DEALER. I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN THIS WEEK TO HAVE AIR WORKED ON AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY OVER $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR IN A CAR THAT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. PLEASE HELP!! *TR

PURCHASED A 2003 ENVOY IN NOVEMBER OF 2010 AT AROUND 86000 MILES IN ONE MONTH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT SO NO SPEEDOMETER AND AFFECTED THE OIL GAUGE. AT EXACTLY 100,000 MILES THE DRIVER DOOR PANEL WENT OUT COULD SMELL WIRES BURNING. CALLED DEALER WHERE PURCHASED TO TRADE IN ON VEHICLE IN WORKING ORDER AND HE WAS ABLE TO FIND PARTS FROM JUNK YARD TO REPLACE I WAS ALSO INFORMED THE PROBLEMS I HAD HAVE BECOME AN EPIDEMIC FOR ALL GMC VEHICLES AND PEOPLE ARE SPENDING A SMALL FORTUNE GETTING THEM REPAIRED. JUST WANT TO ADVISE ANYONE READING THIS TO STOP BUYING ANYTHING MADE MY GMC BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS NOR DOES THE GOVERNMENT MAKE THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INOPERABLE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW FAST OR SLOW SHE WAS TRAVELING.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

2003 ENVOY XL , POWER STEERING COOLER LEAKS!!!! CONSTANTLY PUTTING FLUID IN RESEVOIR..THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME THING ON THE 2006 MODEL, BUT THE VEHICLE IS EXACTLY THE SAME FROM 2003 THRU 2006... I BELIEVE THIS RECALL FOR THE 2006 MODEL SHOULD INCLUDE THE 2003,2004 AND 2005 MODELS ALSO SINCE THEY ARE THE SAME PART FOR THE VEHICLES. *TR

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR LATCH HAS BECOME INOPERABLE. THE DOOR LATCHES MAYBE 1 IN 10 TRIES. I FOUND A RECALL BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME MINE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM AN I AM IN ONE OF THE STATES THAT IT COVERS. *TR

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. IT HAS BEEN ACTING UP OCCASIONALLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT NOW IT SOMETIMES WILL TOTALLY MALFUNCTION AND EITHER BOTTOM OUT AT ZERO, OR REGISTER TOO HIGH, IT IS JUST NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR GMC VEHICLES OF THIS TIME FRAME, AND ENVOYS ARE ONE OF THE WORST. *TR

2003 ENVOY DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT BULBS KEEP BURNING OUT . WIRES ARE BURNT AND TERMINAL HAS MELTED. THIS PAST WEEK BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET BUT MY VEHICLE WASN'T ONE OF THE OF THE 308 OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED. *TR

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT (TCN: DBN20-8138 REFERS. YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY '03 GMC ENVOY WHEN IT STOPPED AT ONE OF THE BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS IN TOWN. GAS GAUGE REGISTERED 1/4 FUEL. AFTER PUSHING IT TO A PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, IT STARTED TO FLUTTER AND STOP, THEN NOTHING. THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY, HAD IT RECHARGED AND REINSTALLED, SAME SYMPTOMS. THOUGHT OF OTHER OWNERS OF '03 ENVOYS HAVING PROBS WITH FUEL GAUGE, DECIDED TO PUT MORE FUEL WHICH I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE IT TO MY RESIDENCE. THE FUEL GAUGE IS A PROBLEM IN ADDITION TO THE RPM GAUGE AS PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED. THERE ARE MANY ENVOY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THESE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ADDITIONAL ONES AS SEE ON EDMUNDS ENVOY FORUM. THIS COULD POSE AS A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF MY WIFE WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AND IT SUDDENLY DIED ON HER, REAR-END COLLISION WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XLT. THE CONTACT STATED THE JACK THAT HOLDS THE VEHICLE UP WHILE CHANGING A FLAT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE AND LOWER THE VEHICLE TO THE GROUND. THE MECHANICAL JACK HAD TO BE KICKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO RELEASE IT. THERE WAS ALSO A CRACK IN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE RIM. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO REFEREED WHO PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V046000 (VISIBILITY: WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER) AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

PROBLEMS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES. SPECIFICALLY WITH THE RPM GAUGE. IT REFLECTS ERRATIC RPM'S WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THE NEEDLE WOULD RAISE TO BETWEEN 5-6K RPMS WHEN AT IDLE, AFTER APPROX 2 WEEKS IT WOULD RESET ITSELF TO NORMAL, APPROX 2-3 WEEKS LATER IT WOULD REGISTER APPROX 6-7K RPMS THEN RESET ITSELF ONCE AGAIN TO NORMAL. NOW IT IS PEGGED ALL THE WAY AROUND AND POINTING DUE SOUTH, IT ATTEMPTS TO RESET ITSELF BUT WILL NOT. I AM ALSO SEEING ERRATIC INDICATIONS ON THE FUEL GAUGE. ON THE EDMUNDS ENVOY FORUM THERE ARE QUITE A FEW ENVOY OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, SOME ARE HAVING SPEEDOMETER LEVEL PROBLEMS. WAS IN CONNECT WITH GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE COULD/WOULD NOT HELP SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I EVEN SUGGESTED THAT THEY PAY AT LEAST 1/2 THE COST OF REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THIS A COMPONENT FAILURE AND COULD POSSIBLY BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE PROBLEMS. THE PROBABILITY OF ALSO HAVING SPEEDOMETER FAILURE IN THE NEAR FUTURE IS PRETTY GOOD BET.

SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATES BETWEEN NOT WORKING AT ALL TO SIMPLY DISPLAYING AN OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT SPEED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY MICHIGAN HIGHWAY I HEARD SOME RATTLING NOISE AND LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AS THE ENTIRE PANEL ABOVE THE REAR HATCH THAT HOLDS THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FLEW OFF MY CAR. I WASN'T ABLE TO RETRIEVE IT SINCE IT LANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.I HOPE NO ONE RAN OVER THE PART CAUSING DAMAGE TO THEIR CAR OR WORSE YET SWERVING TO MISS IT AND CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE SINCE SEEN 4 OTHER ENVOY XL'S MISSING THE SAME PART! THAT'S 4 OTHER VEHICLES IN MY LITTLE TOWN CAUSING 4 POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $520 FOR PARTS TO REPLACE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A JUNK YARD. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED FROM HERE. *TR

RIDING ON FREEWAY AND HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OFF IN DARK AREA. CUT ON FOG LAMPS AND HEADLIGHTS CAME BACK ON AFTER COUPLE MILES OF TRAVEL. THEY HAVE NOT WENT OFF YET AGAIN BUT WOULD BE DANGEROUS ON CURVE ROAD. PROBLEM MAYBE IN TURN SIGNAL CONTROL. CRUISE WENT OUT DAY BEFORE AND CAME BACK. ALL LOCATED IN SAME SWITCH. CALLED GMC AND TOLD THEM OF PROBLEM. HAVE NOT WENT OFF AGAIN YET. TALKED TO DEALER AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT WITH PROBLEM. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER IS FAILING. MY SPEEDOMETER HAS TOTALLY QUIT WORKING.MY GAS GAUGE IS STARTING TO FAIL ALSO. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT GMC HAS ADMITTED THE STEPPING MOTORS ARE DEFECTIVE, ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GAUGES FOR MY 2003 GMC ENVOY. A CLASS LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED, ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET .ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET,THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2003-2007 GMC'S. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS APPX. $800.00. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT KNOWING MY CORRECT SPEED, DUE TO THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. SOON I WILL NOT KNOW ....HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY GMC. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET MY OTHER GAUGES WILL SOON FAIL. I PURCHASED MY GMC BRAND NEW FOR $38,000. I FEEL MY GMC ENVOY IS UNSAFE, DUE TO THE REASONS I HAVE JUST LISTED. I FEEL GMC SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO OPERATE THE GMC LIKE THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE FAILURE IS CONSTANT...NO SPEEDOMETER. THIS COULD CAUSE MY TO DRIVE OVER THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT WITH OUT MY KNOWLEDGE, WHICH IS UNSAFE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS YET. AT THIS TIME I CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY THAT STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE FILLER TUBE AND FUEL ASSEMBLY WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER THE COSTLY FUEL TANK WAS NOT. HOW CAN YOU HAVE AN ITEM DIRECTLY RELATED TO CORROSION THAT CAUSED THE TANK PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE NOT BE REIMBURSABLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM TO ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO RIDE AROUND WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. SAFETY IN NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY.

FAILURE OF 2003 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER HAD NOT WORKED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, AND RECENTLY ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS OVER 70,000 MILES; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER HAD OFFERED TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING A JET LIKE SOUND ON START UP AND WHILE DRIVING AND EVENTUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT ALSO WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND FROM THE ELECTRONIC HEATING UNIT. I TOOK IT IN TO A CERTIFIED GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CLUTCH FAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (EXPENSIVE REPAIR). COULD NOT TELL WHERE THE CLICKING WAS COMING FROM AT THE TIME (1/6/11 CLICKING WILL NOT STOP - ENDED UP BEING A DOOR ACTUATOR). I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THESE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE VERY COMMON IN THESE VEHICLE. I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE AT A LITTLE OVER 59000 MILES THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD. I WISH GMC WOULD CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AS WELL AS OTHER MAJOR THINGS.

THE ODOMETER HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR 2 YEARS IT WILL WORK AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. I WOULD BE GOING IN SPEEDS OF OVER 50MPH AND THE ODOMETER WOULD READ 20MPH. OR I WOULD GO ABOUT 30MPH IT WOULD READ100MPH OR OVER. IT WILL ERRATICALLY DO THIS. SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM YET. IT IS WORKING RIGHT NOW. *TR

I HAVE 03 GMC ENVOY THAT I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS LATELY AND NOT SEEN ANY GAS LEAKING. THE GAS ODOR GRADUALLY HAS BEEN GETTING STRONGER AND STRONGER. EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO TELL THAT THERE IS A GAS LEAK, BUT IS ONLY LEAKING A SMALL AMOUNT WHILE THE TRUCK IS RUNNING. NOW MY ENVOY REEKS OF GASOLINE ALL THE TIME OUTSIDE AND SOMETIMES INSIDE WHEN THE HEAT IS ON AND IDLING. SEEMS THE GAS POOLS ON AN INDENT ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK AND WHEN I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY(DOWN A STEEP HILL AND SHARP TURN) IT ALL POURS OUT. SEEMS THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME TYPE PROBLEMS. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A BAD DESIGN ON GM'S BEHALF.......MAYBE THEY WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. I WONDER IF THEY STILL PRODUCE THEM LIKE THIS? I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS AFFECTS SO MANY OTHER MODELS. YIKES! THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DANGER OR GOT STUCK WITH A LOFTY REPAIR BILL. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED A CODE PO 442. THIS CODE IS INDICATIVE OF A FUEL SYSTEM LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM. REPLACED GAS CAP.

VEHICLE NEVER IN ACCIDENT OR MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. VEHICLE HAS 62,000 MILES. A COURTESY GENERAL MOTORS REPAIR PROGRAM IS IN PLACE FOR THESE VEHICLES IF THE LONG WHEELBASE MODELS. NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES IN THE SHORT WHEELBASE MODELS ALSO. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ACCORDING TO THE GM DEALER THAT SERVICES THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY WANT OVER $1500 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND THE TANK UNIT WHICH INCLUDES THE FUEL PUMP, GAUGE, AND HOSE CONNECTIONS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE THAT SETS THE CHECK ENGINE LAMP, OR THE PROBLEM OF GASOLINE LEAKAGE/SPILLAGE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION AND THEREFORE IS NOT ALLOWED ON THE ROAD. A FORCED RECALL SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE MADE FOR THESE VEHICLES. AT A COST OF OVER $35,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THE HAZARDS IT REPRESENTS, IT IS A TOTAL TRAVESTY THAT GM REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SHE NOTICED THAT HER HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AND NOT COME BACK ON. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SOCKET AND WIRING TO THE HEADLIGHT WHICH MELTED THE TERMINAL. THE HEADLAMP SOCKET AND WIRING WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY. AT FIRST MY RPM NEEDLE STARED TO MOVE UP FASTER THEN WHAT I WAS GOING FOR ABOUT A MONTH. WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS LETTING OUT A VACUUM NOISE. NOW IT'S BEEN A MONTH AND A HALF AND MY MPH IS NOT WORKING. IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON 80 MPS WHILE I'M SETTING AND GOES PAST 120 WHILE I'M DRIVING. ALSO THE GAS GAGE IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF GAS THAT'S IN THE TANK. I HOPE SOON THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER, BECAUSE EACH GAGE IS GOING OUT ONE BY ONE. I HOPE THIS WOULD BE A VEHICLE SAFETY HAZARD SINCE YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. THANK YOU

THE REAR OF MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL GOES DOWN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. USUALLY THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE GOES BACK UP AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. ONCE, THOUGH, THE REAR SUSPENSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. NOW MY THE REAR ON MY VEHICLE IS DAWN THIS IS A SECOND TIME AND NO GOES UP THAT LOOK DANGER FOR DRIVE. *TR

DURING COLDER DAYS, OUR SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2003 GMC ENVOY XL DOES NOT WORK UNTIL IT WARMS UP. WE HAVE 112,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER RESEARCHING ON LINE FOR SPEEDOMETER ISSUES, THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE. I CANNOT TELL WHAT SPEED WE ARE GOING AND THEN ONCE IT WARMS UP IT BEGINS TO WORK RECORDING HALF SPEED. IT MAY OR MAY NOT EVENTUALLY RECORD ACCURATE SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FROM THE STAND POINT THAT I USE MY SPEEDOMETER TO DETERMINE SPEED GOING INTO CORNERS AND OFF RAMPS. WITHOUT THIS ABILITY, MY SPEED IS ESTIMATED WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW ACCURATE SPEED INTO CURVES. THIS APPEARS TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS TURNED ON.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

STRONG SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHEN CODE IS CHECKED... STATES SMALL EMISSION LEAK PRESENT. UPON DOING A LITTLE WEB RESEARCH FIND IT TO BE CAUSED BY A LEAKING FUEL TANK. APPEARS TO HAVE A RECALL ON TANK FOR XL MODEL WHICH INTURN IS THE SAME TANK BUT THE SLE MODEL IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. IF ORIGINAL RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR SAFETY CONCERN WHY NOT COMPLY FOR ALL MODELS. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. GAS FUMES WERE NOTICED COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC GAS TANK NEAR THE FILLER NECK. WAS TOLD THAT GM HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS BUT NO RECALLS OR REPAIR BULLETINS. THEREFORE, SINCE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1350.00 FOR REPAIRS. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE PLASTIC GAS TANKS AND REPLACING THEM AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE! NOTE: VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OR USED FOR OFF-ROAD DRIVING OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. GAS TANK SHOULD NOT HAVE CRACKED. ALSO, I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE SO IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER FAMILY. *TR

FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS, THE REAR OF OUR 2003 GMC ENVOY XL GOES DOWN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. WE HAVE HAD THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE SUSPENSION REPLACED BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL SLE HAS A LATCH PROBLEM ON THE BACK DOORS, IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED BUT ISN'T RESOLVED AND THE DRIVER HEADLAMP CONSTANTLY BURNS OUT, 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I CALLED ON A RECALL BUT THERE ISN'T ONE. ITS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AT SOME POINT. THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO FIX IT THE SOCKET WAS BURNT AND PLASTIC MELTED, THAT COULD'VE CAUSED A MAJOR FIRE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE HERE, IM GOING TO GET IN BIG TROUBLE BECAUSE I CAN'T PUT IN ANOTHER BULB IT WILL CAUSE MORE FIRE. *TR

MY 03 ENVOY XL AIR COMPRESSOR WILL NOT INFLATE THE AIR SUSPENSION. THE REAR END IS SITTING WAY DOWN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF AIR IN THE SHOCKS BUT WILL BOTTOM OUT EASILY. THE COMPRESSOR COMES ON FOR ABOUT 30 SEC TO 1 MIN AT STARTUP BUT NO INCREASE IN RIDE HEIGHT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED - 1ST TIME WAS ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006 AND THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT FOR FREE. I HAVE BEEN READING ON-LINE AND HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OVER THE YEARS FOR THE MODEL - 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT MAY STICK IN ONE SPOT. OTHER TIMES IT IS CONSISTENTLY OFF BY A GIVEN SPEED. THE NEXT DAY IT MAY BE WORKING FINE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AS THE VEHICLE AGES. THE INTERNET IS LITTERED WITH OTHERS ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT LOOKS LIKE A US DISTRICT COURT AWARDED OWNERS OF MANY OTHER GM MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE A SETTLEMENT (SEE HTTP://WWW.GMSPEEDOMETERRECALL.COM/). THE ENVOY WAS NOT INCLUDED, ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE IS THE SAME. COST FOR REPAIRING IS APPARENTLY IN THE $700 RANGE. AS FOR CONSEQUENCES, I SEE 2 POSSIBILITIES. I COULD RECEIVE AN UNWARRANTED SPEEDING TICKET. THE OTHER CONSEQUENCE IS THE MAJOR DISTRACTION IT CAUSES. THE ONLY WAY TO TELL IF IT IS WORKING AT TIMES IS TO WATCH IT CLOSELY. IF THE NEEDLE ISN'T MOVING WHEN I ACCELERATE I KNOW NOT TO TRUST IT. DRIVERS SHOULDN'T BE STARING AT THEIR SPEEDOMETER WHEN DRIVING. *TR

HELLO, I AM SECOND OWNER OF GMC ENVOY SLE 2003 CAR. COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE LIGHT CHECK ENGINE SOON STARTED APPEARS AND DISAPPEAR AFTER FILLING GAS AND SEVERAL TRIPS. JUNE THIS YEAR I WENT TO DEALER SERVICE FROM WHERE I BUY THE CAR THREE YEARS AGO .THEY FIXED SOME THING (HOUSING AND / OR GASKET, THERMOSTAT REPLACE AND FOR CAMPAIGN 07076: FUEL SENDER MODULE UPDATE T5714 FUEL SENDER ASSY REPLACEMENT AND ETC). AFTER 600 MILES THE LIGHT APPEARS AGAIN AND STAYS STEADY. I CALLED TO MY DEALER, BUT NOW THE DEALER IS OUT OF BUSINESS. I WENT TO OTHER SERVICE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAD ME THAT THE REASON FOR THE LIGHT ON IS THE CAR HAS GAS TANK LEAKING NEAR FUEL FILLER TUBE AREA MAY BE FROM CORROSION OR CRACK AND THAT'S MEAN NEAR $1500 FOR BRAND NEW TANK AND SERVICE AND COUPLE DAYS FOR DELIVERY THE TANK. BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTOOD VERY WELL THE EXPLANATIONS AND DIDN'T KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THIS LEAKING IS I LEFT VERY UPSET WITHOUT REPAIRED. I CALLED TO GMC TO ASK: IS IT NORMAL FOR 7-TH YEAR OLD CAR TO CHANGE THE GAS TANK. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. (AFTER OWN THE CAR, THREE YEAR AGO, I DIDN'T HIT IT.) FOLLOW DISCUSSION WITH TWO DEPARTMENTS AND AFTER ALL I UNDERSTOOD: THIS IS MY PROBLEM AND RESPONSIBILITY IS MINE. THAT IS IT. THANK YOU. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY HAD SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE MOVE TO 120 MPH AND WOULD NOT REGISTER PROPER SPEED ON HIGHWAY. ONCE PARKED, CYCLING THE ENGINE (ON/OFF/ON/OFF) CAUSED THE NEEDLE TO RETURN TO ZERO WHILE PARKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE (DEC 18, 2009 AND FEB 4, 2010). THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT OPERATE SMOOTHLY BUT RATHER INCREASES OR DECREASES IN 1 MPH INCREMENTS IN A 'JERKY MOTION'...

UNABLE TO AFFORD THIS COST AFTER A GENERAL SERVICE, HOWEVER THE COMPLAINT IS FILED WITH GM DEALERSHIP IN JAN 2009. CAR IS NOW OVER 70,000.MILES. I AM REALIZING THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS. IS THERE A COMMITMENT FROM GM THAT THEY WILL REPAIR THIS ISSUE FOR CARS WITH MILEAGE UNDER 70,000.00? I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RE-CALL REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. PLEASE DIRECT ME WITH THE APPROPRIATE ACTION MEASURES SO THAT I MAY REMEDY THIS SITUATION PROMPTLY. *TR

GMC ENVOY 2003 SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC AND DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL ON OCCASION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. IN RAINY WEATHER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE INOPERATIVE. WHEN ITS SUNNY OUTSIDE THE WIPERS ACTIVATE WITHOUT INTENTION. HE HAS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE OR MANUALLY RESET THE WIPERS AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. A DEALER STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL #04V046000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER), THEREFORE HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. UPDATED 12/7/09 *CN UPDATED 12/08/09.*JB

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 03' ENVOY STICKS, IT SAYS I AM GOING LIKE 60 WHEN I JUST CRANKED THE CAR. ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE CAR THE SPEEDOMETER STILL READS THE TOP SPEED YOU WERE GOING. THIS IS HORRIBLE, I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM!! GMC NEEDS TO RECALL THIS FAULT AND HAVE IT REPLACED! *TR

DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON, THEN GOES OFF. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVEN WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE IS WARM. THIS IS A SCARY THING NOT KNOWING IF THE AIR BAG IS GOING TO SHOOT OUT WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. MY KIDS DRIVE THIS ENVOY XL, AND TO THINK THAT THEY MAY GET HURT NOT BY ANOTHER DRIVER BUT BY THE VEHICLE THEY ARE DRIVING. THIS IS LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE. DO SOMEONE HAVE TO GET HURT BEFORE YOU FIX THIS. *TR

VEHICLE: 2003 GMC ENVOY FAILURE: SPEEDOMETOR AND FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND GM KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT BUT REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED , APPROX COST OF REPAIR IS $500 (PART & LABOR). I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I AM GOING ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVE WITH MY BABY IN GMC ENVOY. *TR

MY HUSBAND FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL ON HIS WAY TO WORK AND HIT SEVERAL TREES. THE CAR IS TOTALED BUT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS 100% MY HUSBANDS FAULT BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. *TR

MALFUNCTIONING OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIAGNOSED BY DEALER. *TR

FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED IN 2008, DRIVING TO WORK IN 2003 GMC ENVOY SLT (ORIGINAL OWNER) HEARD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. TOOK CAR IN TO SHOP FOR REPAIR (JUST OVER 50K MILES SO OUT OF WARRANTY). SHOP EXPLAINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED $4000 WITH ONE YEAR WARRANTY. SINCE I WAS PLANNING ON DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY DECIDED TO DO THE REPAIR. ONE YEAR LATER, DRIVING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON A RAMP TO FIND SUV STUCK IN SECOND GEAR AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHILE RPM KEPT GOING UP. ALSO HEARD CLUNKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO GET GEARS TO SHIFT BY SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP (TO GET RPM TO DROP). DROVE CAR TO DEALER WHO STATED I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION (AGAIN). DEALER REMOVED TRANSMISSION AND "FOUND INPUT BUSHING IN PUMP BAD. AND REVERSE DRUM. AND HAD HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION". WHEN ASKED WHY THIS IS MY THIRD TRANSMISSION IN SIX YEARS THE SERVICE AGENT SAID "BAD LUCK". BOTH REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS WERE REBUILDS. THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

GAS FUMES COMING FROM 2003 GMC ENVOY. TOOK TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT AUTHORIZED DEALER. GM REFUSES TO FIX PROBLEM WHICH IS COVERED UNDER SERVICE BULLETIN 07076/NHTSA ITEM #10026522. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO REPLACE TANK THAT IS CRACKED DUE TO CORROSION CAUSED BY FUEL TANK MODULAR RESERVOIR. SERVICE BULLETIN STATE ALL REPAIRS WILL BE MADE WITH NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. ENVOY HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR 5 DAYS. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY, 80,700 MILES ORIGINAL OWNER. WHILE MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN 2ND GEAR. ENGINE RPM'S INCREASED TO 5,000 SPEED DROPPED TO 20 MPH CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO GMC DEALER, ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH GMC ENVOY TRANSMISSIONS AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NONE. THE DIAGNOSIS, MY TRANSMISSION EXPLODED INTERNALLY WITH A FAILURE OF THE SUN SHELL GEAR AND TORQUE CONVERTER. TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE REBUILT AND THE COST OF INSTALLING A RE MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION WAS $3700! GM HAS BEEN HAVING THESE TRANSMISSION FAILURES SINCE 2002 WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LIABILITY! *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY AND THERE IS A GAS LEAK. I BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER 2006. IN 2007, I TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY MY NOT TIGHTENING THE GAS CAP. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH PUMPING GAS INTO TANK, PROBLEMS WITH A GAS SMELL WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED OR IF I GO OVER A BUMP. NOW, THERE IS REDUCED POWER. HUSBAND SAYS IT IS ON FUEL FILLER NECK. ON SEVERAL WEB PAGES, IT SAYS THERE WAS A RECALL ONLY I AM UNABLE TO FIND ANY INFORMATION ON IT. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AND WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET IN A CRASH. WE HAVE 5 KIDS THAT I DRIVE AROUND. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY WITH 65,000 MILES I HAVE A SPEEDOMETER THAT IS ERRATIC IN READING SPEED. GETS STUCK AT 35 MPH AS "0" OR REGISTERS -10 MPH FROM ACTUAL SPEED. THIS PROBLEM VARIES FROM ONE TO THE OTHER EVERY TIME I RESTART THE ENGINE. I ALSO HAVE A WEIRD CLICKING SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE DASH AREA ON OCCASION. *TR

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY AND THE SPEEDOMETER ACTS ERRATICALLY, AND IS NEVER CORRECT. I'VE RESEARCHED IT AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT, AND FROM OTHER INTERNET USERS MESSAGES ON SITES, THERE ARE A LOT OF GM VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM!! I DON'T PERSONALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED, THAT AND I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE MY PROBLEM TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT EITHER, GM PUT A BAD PART IN THE VEHICLES SO I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE VEHICLE HAS MICHELIN LTX M/S TIRES, SIZE P245/165/1R (NA). WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. ONE HUNDRED MILES AFTER THE FIRST TIRE FAILURE, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TREAD ALSO SEPARATED FROM THE TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

SPEEDOMETER IS WORKING ERRATICALLY ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY. HAS BEEN FOR ALMOST A YR. THIS NEEDS TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. *TR

GMC ENVOY 2003 REAR GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON. *TR

WITHIN THE LAST 4 OR 5 MONTHS, THE SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2003 ENVOY WILL DISPLAY ERRATIC AND INCORRECT SPEEDS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED UP THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO REGISTER CORRECTLY. AFTER 20 MINUTES OR MORE THE NEEDLE WILL BEGIN TO STICK OR STUTTER. WITHIN 30 MINUTES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL REGISTER 90 MPH WITH AN ACTUAL ROAD SPEED OF 60 TO 65 MPH. TODAY IT EVENTUALLY PEGGED THE NEEDLE AT 120 MPH+. AT A COMPLETE STOP, WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND KEY OUT OF THE SWITCH, THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 60 MPH. WE ARE MAKING CONTACT WITH OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER TO SEE WHAT REPAIRS WILL BE INVOLVED. BASED ON SEVERAL INTERNET FORUM SITES AND CHAT BOARDS, THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY EVIDENTLY DO NOT SEE THIS AS A SAFETY PROBLEM OR POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM. OUR ENVOY HAS LESS THAN 67,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS AS OUTLINED IN RECALL NHTSA #EA04002. MY DEALER SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE RECALL BUT THE PROBLEMS ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED. I HAVE PURCHASED A WIPER MOTOR I DID NOT NEED. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY, AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS BROKEN. DUE TO RESEARCH ON THE WEB I'M SEEING NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE PUT A CALL INTO GM THEY ARE TOTAL IGNORANT (&*(*_*. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT SOMETHING I BROKE ON MY OWN OR WORE OUT. I HAVE LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I CALLED LAST YEAR WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THE LADY WAS ONE RUDE '!@#$%!! NOW THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE TO GET IT FIXED FOR INSPECTION AND IT'S NOT GOING TO PASS WITH IT BROKEN. I HAVE NO REAL INCOME BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE UNEMPLOYED!! SO WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM? A CREDIT CARD I CAN'T PAY OFF TO BEGIN WITH. OUR TAXES BAILED THEM OUT, THE LEAST THEY CAN DO IS PROVIDE A SAFE VEHICLE, AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT SAFE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE/PARTS!!! HELP THE POOR FOLK HERE!!! THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AT THEIR COST NOT THE POOR STRUGGLING CLASS OF PEOPLE!!!! *TR

2003 ENVOY SLT -135,000 MILES --SES LIGHT ON, LOCAL MECHANIC SAID SMALL EVAP CODE INDICATED INLET CHECKVALVE FRACTURE- THEY SAID GO TO GM DEALER FOR HELP WITH THIS,INFO PRINTOUT FROM LOCAL MECHANIC GIVEN TO ME- "ALL DATA MOTOR" SAID RECALL SPEC. COVERAGE FOR EXT. SIZE MODELS OF ENVOYS ETC. OFFERED BY GM FOR PERIOD OF 10 YRS OR 150,000 MILES.(ALSO 11/04 THEY DID WORK WARRANTY WORK ON CODE 440 AND REPLACED SEALS,TANK UNIT, I THINK THEY CAUSED THIS BECAUSE I WAS HAVING THE SES LIGHT ON&OFF YEARS AND JUST TOLD LOOSE GAS CAP- SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BUT NOW THIS! DEALER LOOKED AND SAID "NO" AFTER I WAS THERE FOR 5 HRS. SAID I COULD BUY A NEW GAS TANK @ $1200. I SAID I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY. TOLD I COULD CALL GM SO I DID. THOUGHT I WOULD GET "GOODWILL" HELP FOR SAME PROBLEM AS THEY PAID FOR THE EXTENDED MODELS. I TALKED TO TWO REPS .REP SAID MY VIN WAS LISTED IN THE COVERAGE RANGE OF #'S BUT NOT MY MODEL. BUT SHE PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY INFO IN ORDER TO GET ME SOME HELP..DEALER CALLED ME BACK 4 DAYS LATER IN A HURRY TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT APPARENTLY THEIR DISTRICT GM PERSON SAID TO DO. THE HOME OFFICE FOR THE GM SERVICE PERSON CALLED THEM WITH MY COMPLAINT. THEY STILL LOOKED AT IT AND SAW THE GAS LEAK AT THE ICV AND THEN STILL JUST TOLD ME "NO" THAT MY MODEL DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR HELP LIKE THE EXTENDED ENVOYS DID. I TOLD THEM IT APPEARED TO BE THE SAME ENGINEERING PROBLEM SO WHY WOULDN'T MY MODEL BE COVERED? MY SERVICE REP JUST SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A TANK. I SAID "NO". HE SAID JUST KEEP THE GAS TANK BELOW HALF FULL. SO THAT IS WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR THE PAST WEEK. I DON'T WANT TO TRIGGER THAT SES LIGHT BY FILLING UP THE TANK NEAR THAT HOSE INLET. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM FOR MY MODEL- IS THERE SOME BIG DIFFERENCE ON EXTENDED LENGTH? MAYBE ENOUGH SHORT ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS HAVEN'T SOUGHT HELP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF GASTANK AND ICV DIFFERENT ON THE SHORT AND LONG MODEL ENVOY?? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. THE WIPERS WOULD CONTINUE TO OPERATE AND COULD NOT BE SHUT OFF. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V046000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 86,000. UPDATED 04-23-09 *BF UPDATED 04/30/09.*JB

VEHICLE HAVING THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT ON AND OFF FOR LIKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN IT CAME LIGHT ON STEADY FOR A WHILE AND SMELL GAS AROUND IT SOMETIMES UNTIL I BROUGHT IT FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. AFTER SOME DIAGNOSTIC THEY FOUND TROUBLE CODE P0442 EVAPORATIVE LEAK DETECTED. THEY PERFORMED EVAP LEAK WITH SMOKE DETECTOR BUT DID NOT FIND ANY LEAK. SERVICE TECH FOUND A LEAK AROUND A METAL SEAL AT THE UPPER PART OF THE FUEL TANK. *TR

WHEN OPENING THE TRUNK RELEASE TO PLACE GROCERIES IN BACK, THE GLASS WINDOW IN THE BACK DOOR SHATTERED WITH A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND. *TR

WHILE DRIVING @ 35 MPH I NOTICED A VERY LOUD RATTLE AND HEARD A NOISE LOOKING IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR A SAW THE WHOLE PLASTIC TOP THAT FITS OVER THE HATCH BACK AND HOUSES THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, FLY OFF INTO THE AIR AND LAND IN THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. IT RIPPED THE BRAKE LIGHT WIRE RIGHT OUT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING AROUND THE TURN AT THE TIME. HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC TO GET IT OUT OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A BUSY SIDE ROAD THAT COMES TO A STOP LIGHT. *TR

ON 6/3/2008, I PURCHASED 2 MICHELIN LTX M/S 245/65/17 TIRES FOR MY 2003 GMC ENVOY FROM, MILLENNIUM AUTOBODY & SERVICE INC., 1782 MAIN ST., BROCKTON, MA 02304. ON 10/22/2008 (AFTER ONLY 7969 MILES) THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE WAY TO FL- HAD IT BEEN REPLACED IN NY. THE TIRE WAS SHREDDED. ON 11/10/2008 (AFTER ONLY 9557 MILES ) THE 2ND TIRE WENT FLAT- I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE SUV OVER QUICKLY RECOGNIZING THE SAME SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS FROM 1ST BLOW OUT. THIS TIRE WAS NOT SHREDDED. THERE WAS NO PUNCTURES/ CUTS TO THE TIRE. THE CLERK AT THE TIRE KINGDOM IN FL STATED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY TIRE VALVE STEM THAT HAD CAUSED THE TIRE TO FAIL. I CALLED HOME, AND MY FAMILY ADVISED ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN REPORTS OF BAD VALVE STEMS ON TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I CONTACTED THE LOCATION WHERE I PURCHASED THE TIRES TO REPORT THE TWO TIRES FAILING- THEY REQUESTED THAT I BRING THE TIRES BACK WHEN I CAME BACK TO MA. I DID NOT HAVE THE 1ST TIRE- BUT I DID GET AND STILL HAVE THE 2ND TIRE. MILLENNIUM AUTOBODY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO TALK TO TIRE REP AND GET BACK TO ME- BUT IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS NOW AND STILL NO WORD. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED DURING THESE 2 EVENTS- I FEAR THAT THERE ARE STILL FAULTY TIRE VALVES OUT THERE- THAT OTHER CONSUMERS MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THEM. *TR

MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL STARTED TO SEIZE UP WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. MY CAR WOULD MADE A GRUNTING NOISE AND SLOWED TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP, GOOD THING IT WAS EARLY MORNING AND THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY. A CAR OR TRUCK COULD OF EASILY RAN INTO MY BUMPER CAUSING ME SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CALLED THE REPAIR PLACE RIGHT AWAY AND THEY GOT ME IN IMMEDIATELY. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

6 YEARS AFTER NEW PURCHASE AND APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES, RUST BUBBLES STARTED APPEARING AROUND THE LOWER INSIDE EDGES OF ALL FIVE DOORS. NO ACTUAL RUST WAS VISIBLE UNTIL DEALER MANAGER PEALED A SMALL AREA OF BUBBLING PAINT OFF WITH A KNIFE AND EXPOSED THE RUST UNDERNEATH. GM WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PAINT DEFECT, HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR DEALER TO SAND AND REPAINT. RUST PROTECTION WARRANTY WAS NOT HONORED BECAUSE NO RUST-THROUGH HAD OCCURRED YET. *TR

THE GAS TANK ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XLT (80K MILES) IS LEAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN TANK IS FULL. THERE WAS A SMALL PUDDLE ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY STARTED BACK AROUND 50K MILES WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND MECHANICS BEFORE, BUT IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE SOME SORT OF FUEL CAP PROBLEM OR OVER SENSITIVE SENSORS. HOWEVER, TODAY, BECAUSE MY GAS TANK WAS FULL, THE DEALER FOUND THAT THERE ARE LEAKS CAUSED BY A CRACK TANK AND FUEL TANK NECK. THE FUEL LEAK AND VAPOR ARE SO STRONG THAT I FEARED A SMALL SPARK CAN SET THE WHOLE VEHICLE ON FIRE LIKE A ROMAN CANDLE. CAR WAS USED FOR EVERYDAY COMMUTE ONLY. *TR

THE TACHOMETER STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY SHOWING SURGES IN THE ENGINE RPM. THIS PROBLEM CAME AND WENT AND NOW, FEBRUARY 2009, THE SPEEDOMETER IS DOING THE SAME THING. I WAS DOING 90 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM ON GM VEHICLES AND THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING IT. THEY ARE LEAVING IT TO THE OWNER TO PAY A DEALER $600 OR MORE FOR REPAIRS. *TR

ACCIDENT ON 2/17/2009 FRONT CRASH TO OTHER VEHICLE AND AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY HOOD DAMAGE, WINDSHIELD DAMAGE, ALL FRONT DAMAGE, DOORS COULD NOT OPEN RADIATOR DAMAGE, ENGINE DAMAGE. *TR

MOTORS THAT RUN THE GUAGES IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY HAVE FAILED. THESE CONTROL THE FUEL, AMP, TEMP GUAGES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE MOTORS AND OTHER GUAGE CLUSTERS THAT USE THEM IN OTHER GM VEHICLES ARE CURRENTLY RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE AND STILL HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

HAD GAS POURING FROM 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE SENDING RETURN PART IS BAD, THE GMC DEALER SAID PART IS OVER $400 AND HAS TO BE ORDERED FROM CALIFORNIA, MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON HERE, IT HAS BEEN QUITE A FEW ENVOYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY ENVOY WAS ORIGINALLY A LEASE AND CAME FROM PA WHICH WE WERE NOT TOLD. WE WERE TOLD THE WARRANTY WE PURCHASED COVERED BUMPER TO BUMPER BUT DOES NOT, THE PART WILL BE 5 DAYS COMING AND MEANTIME, I HAVE NO CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL ?I GET IT BACK. I THINK SINCE THE GAS LEAKS SO MUCH, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE OR AND AN EXPLOSION SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THANK YOU FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY 2003 ENVOY IT SMELLED STRONGLY OF GAS AND UPON PARKING, IT WAS LEAKING GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND, I HAD IT TOWED AND THE SENDING UNIT WAS BAD, IF IT HAD SPARKED OR THERE HAD BEEN AN AEC, IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND THE COST IS $ 1000.00 AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THE FIRST EXTENDED SERVICE CORPORATION WILL NOT COVER IT, THE WARRANTY WAS FALSELY OFFERED TO ME BY THE SALES REP AT WAESTCOTT BUICK BURLINGTON NC AND WAS COSTLY AND WORTHLESS. THE ENVOY WAS A LEASE OUT OF PA, WHICH ALSO WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO US. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE COST AND DISAPPOINTMENT. *TR

NOTICED PERIODIC INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE/ACCURACY PROBLEMS. SPEEDOMETER WILL SOMETIMES WORK OR WORK ERRATICALLY SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM GOING. I RESEARCHED ON THE WEB AND FOUND THIS IS VERY TYPICAL FOR THIS MODEL. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL ONLY REPAIR (NO COST) THE GMC PICKUPS AND NOT MY SUV MODEL EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME PART. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION REGARDLESS OF WHAT VEHICLE THIS IS IN. WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS IN MN REQUIRE DILIGENCE IN SPEED AND BRAKING, THIS IS A HUGE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR GMC AND THEY ARE JUST IGNORING CERTAIN MODELS FOR WARRANTY REPAIR AND FORCING THE CONSUMER TO SPEND $500.00 (EST.) TO FIX THERE PROBLEM! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IN HIS VEHICLE WOULD REGISTER HIGHER SPEEDS THAN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY BEING DRIVEN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT ALL THE WAY PAST THE HIGHEST SPEED INDICATOR AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES. WHEN THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 70 MPH. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED THE IGNITION ON, THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS NO INJURIES.

1/17/09 GMC ENVOY 2003 I MADE A SHARP U-TURN IN A SNOWY YARD WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN TRACTION ASSIST. THEN I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND PARKED, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WENT IN THE HOUSE. I WAS IN THERE APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES THEN GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE AND THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. EXCESSIVELY STIFF.I PULLED FORWARD GOT OUT, LOOKED AT THE GROUND AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF BLUISH LIQUID LOCATED NEAR WHERE THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY, THAT IS RUSTING BADLY. RECENTLY THIS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION COOLER TO FAIL. ALSO THE REAR BRAKE SHOE BACKING PLATES, THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER, THE TAIL GATE, ALONG WITH OTHER PARTS. GMC HAS RECOGNIZED THE FUEL FILLER NECK CORROSION, BUT NOT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND REMAINED LIT UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN I STARTED DETECTING A ODOR OF GASOLINE. THE ORDER GREW STRONGER AND THEN I GOT THE "SPECIAL NOTICE", BUT NOT A RECALL ABOUT THE CORROSION IN THE FUEL TANK. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WAS A CRACK AT THE FILLER PIPE ON THE GAS TANK AND THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED. I ASKED WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS AND THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER. MY CAR ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, EXCEPT FOR ALL THE RECALL ITEMS. I BELIEVE THAT GMC SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM, NOT ONLY IT IS COSTLY TO FIX, BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING LIKE THIS. AND READING THE COMPLAINTS, IT SOUNDS LIKE SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE ODOMETER STICKING. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,028 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,200. UPDATED 12/08/08. *LJ UPDATED 12/09/08.*JB

THE REAR DRIVER DOOR POPPED OPEN AND WON'T CLOSE. THE FAN CLUTCH FAILED 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS WINDING REALLY HIGH AND NOT DRIVING NORMALLY. ALSO THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER REAR WENT OUT. I HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE FAILURES AS OF NOW. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY SLE WITH 42,000 MILES. CHECK 4 WDRIVE LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT BACK OFF. DEALER STATED THAT THE TCCM HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED DUE TO A BULLETIN. IT COST ME OUT OF POCKET NO WARRANTIES COVER THIS. ALSO THE FAN CLUTCHES WENT OUT BUT WAS REPLACED BY EXTENDED WARRANTIES. I'M ALSO TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE STEERING LINKS ARE WORN & SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS TOO IS AT MY COST. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 1 YEAR. THESE HAPPENED WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. *TR

MY WIFE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING THE REAR HATCH ON OUR 2003 ENVOY XL (80,000 MILES) AFTER REMOVING SOME ARTICLES FROM THE BACK. SHE HAD MOVED THE DOOR ABOUT 1-2 INCHES DOWNWARD USING THE MOLDED HANDLE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIFT GATE TO CLOSE THE DOOR WHEN THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED OVER HER HEAD. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT INJURED BUT WAS COVERED IN SAFETY GLASS. THE GLASS WAS NOT DAMAGED YESTERDAY WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND UNLOADED SUITCASES FROM THE REAR. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 70 DEGREES. I DID NOTICE THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS NOW ANGLED UPWARDS IN THE 'GATE RAISED' POSITION, EVEN AFTER CLOSING THE HATCH. ALSO NOTICED THE TOP, RIGHT SIDE RUBBER GROMMET ON THE STAMPED BRACKET ATTACHING THE GLASS IS VERY WORN, ALLOWING SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT. I PLAN ON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE IF POSSIBLE AND WILL HAVE THE GLASS AND ALL TOUCH POINTS REPLACED IF POSSIBLE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IF THERE IS A DESIGN INTERFERENCE ISSUE WITH THE GLASS AND THE SURROUNDING COMPONENTS THAT HAPPENS OVER TIME. THERE APPEAR TO BE NUMEROUS CASES ON THE AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS WEBSITE REGARDING ENVOY XL REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERING FOR NO APPARENT REASON (SOME MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES). I AM SURPRISED MORE COMPLAINTS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED TO NHTSA OFFICIALLY (ONLY FOUND ONE-10081011). IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE BEEN A BRAKE ENGINEER FOR 10+ YEARS AND TAKE SAFETY VERY SERIOUSLY. *TR

MALFUNCTIONING OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS DESCRIBED BY THE DEALERSHIP. SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS INACCURATE SPEED, OTHER READINGS ON PANEL FLIP-FLOP ALSO. ADVISED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THIS WAS A NOTED DEFECT WITH GMC AND THEY HAD ALREADY STARTED REPAIRING LARGER GMC'S AND SHOULD GET AROUND TO MINE LATER IN 2008. YESTERDAY, GMC INFORMED ME OF A SPECIAL POLICY ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY FOR SIERRAS AND YUKONS (7YRS 70,00 MILES). GMC TOLD ME THEY WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENVOY'S. I ONLY HAVE 56,000 MILES ON THIS CAR (FIRST OWNER). NOW THE A/C HAS GONE OF BY ITSELF TWICE THIS MONTH AND THE PRESET STATIONS HAVE VANISHED. *TR

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY SLE. RECENTLY DISCOVERED A LEAK FROM GAS TANK. AFTER MAKING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE CONTACT COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW FAST HE WAS TRAVELING. ALL THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. AFTER THE CONTACT PLACED FUEL IN HIS VEHICLE, HE CONTINUED TO SMELL AN ODOR OF GASOLINE. HE CRAWLED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THE GAS TANK WELD WAS RUSTED AND CRACKED, CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT OF THE TANK. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE WAS BANGING WHENEVER HE DROVE OVER THE SMALLEST BUMP. IN ADDITION, THE FAN CLUTCH WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND. THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE REPAIRS WERE HIS RESPONSIBILITY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 88,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE HIGH BEAMS DO NOT FAIL WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 129,087 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

TOOK MY 2003 GMC ENVOY TO MY LOCAL GARAGE BECAUSE THE CLUTCH FAN WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. MECHANIC ASKED ABOUT THE STRONG SMELL OF FUEL, AND I SAID I WAS AWARE THE TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A CRACK WHERE THE FILL TUBE GOES INTO THE TANK. THE MECHANIC SAID BOTH ARE IMPORTANT TO FIX, BUT THE FUEL LEAK COULD BE A DEADLY SITUATION, AND HE WOULD SUGGEST TACKLING THAT DEFECT FIRST, BUT IN ORDER FOR CAR TO RUN NORMAL HAD TO HAVE CLUTCH FAN REPLACED TOO. TOTAL COST FOR TANK RELATED REPLACEMENT: $1,058.04. TOTAL COST FOR CLUTCH FAN REPLACEMENT: $719.50 TOTAL COST FOR TAXES: $72.75. WHY HAVEN'T THESE WELL KNOWN DEFECTS BEEN ADDRESSED IN A RECALL. THESE ARE NOT INEXPENSIVE REPAIRS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE, NOT TO MENTION THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCES GMC IS SUBJECTING THEIR CONSUMERS TO. *TR

8/7/08 FOUND ON YOUR WEB SITE NHTSA ACTION #: PE07014; WHICH STATES GM WILL EXPAND ITS "SPECIAL POLICY" TO ADDRESS THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FRACTURES ON CERTAIN MODEL YEAR GMC ENVOY XL AND THEY WILL PROVIDE FREE REPAIR OF THE FUEL TANK. IT ALSO STATES THAT GM WOULD BE SENDING LETTERS TO OWNERS BEGINNING IN JUNE OF 2007 REGARDING THIS "SPECIAL POLICY". I DID NOT RECEIVE SUCH A LETTER. I CONTACTED GM TODAY AT 866-996-9463 REGARDING THIS "SPECIAL POLICY", AND THIS IS THE ANSWER I RECEIVED. SINCE I WAS NOT GRANTED SUCH A LETTER, AND GM DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN # AS PART OF A SELECTED VIN# MAILING FOR THIS RECALL, I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE MONIES SPENT TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. MY COMPLAINT IS THIS: MY VEHICLE FITS WITHIN THE GUIDELINES, MEANING THE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, AND DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT EXACTLY MATCHES THAT OF WHAT GM CLAIMS TO BE RECALLING, BUT SINCE MY VIN # WAS NOT SELECTED AS PART OF THE "LOT" OF VIN # GM DECIDED TO SEND LETTERS TO, I AM NOT ELIGIBLE. THAT IS NOT A ACCEPTABLE REASON FOR NOT REIMBURSING MY EXPENSES. *TR

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING A 65MPH WITH NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF TROUBLE. THE VEHICLE'S PCM FAILED AND THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT START. THE PCM WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND REPROGRAMMED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD CONSTANTLY MOVE UP AND DOWN AND DISPLAY INACCURATE SPEEDS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STAY ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED BY THE DEALER, BUT IT HAS NOT RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 173,607 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

2003 GMC ENVOY 55,000 MILES AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. IS THIS COVERED UNDER A FEDERAL LAW REQUIRING AND EXTENDED WARRANTY? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND AN OIL CHANGE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ROTORS ON THE VEHICLE WERE FAULTY AND THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED GENERAL MOTORS THAT THE FAILURE WAS A RESULT OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. GENERAL MOTORS THEN STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000. UPDATED 09/16/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. UPDATED 09/18/08. *JB

I COULD SMELL A GASOLINE ODOR AROUND MY 2003 ENVOY (45,860 MILES). TOOK VEHICLE TO COULTER OF TEMPE (AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALER) AND WAS ADVISED OF A LEAK AT FUEL INLET TO TANK PIPE AREA. WAS TOLD GAS TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. GM HAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 ENVOY XLS AND ISSUED A LETTER DATED JUNE 2007 COVERING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF REPLACING THESE FUEL TANKS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. THIS COVERAGE SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2003 ENVOYS AND A POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUED AS THIS LEAK AT THE FUEL FILLER NECK SEAM AT THE TANK IS NOT EASILY IDENTIFIED UNLESS VEHICLE IS HOISTED ON A LIFT. THEY DID OFFER US A DEAL WHERE WE WERE CHARGED A WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE OF $500, BUT I FEEL THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN ITS ENTIRETY. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY. LATELY I HAVE SMELT GAS WHEN OUTSIDE AND EVEN INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED WITH GM, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE WHAT MAKES GASOLINE EXPLODE IS THE VAPORS I WOULD IMAGE THAT GM MIGHT HAVE A DEATH ON THEIR HANDS BEFORE LONG. *TR

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. I CAN BE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE SPEEDO WILL BE PEGGED AT 120MPH. OR WHEN DRIVING IT WONT MOVE AT ALL. SOMETIMES...I'LL START THE CAR, AND THE SPEED WILL BE SITTING AT 40 MPH. HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON SINCE NOVEMBER 2007. THE DEALERSHIP & CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (800-462-8782) WILL NOT HELP ME. THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ($475+) TO RESOLVE MY PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FULL SIZE VEHICLES (2003 AND UP). GM HAS ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #07187 ( 9/28/2007) TO REPLACE , FREE OF CHARGE, THIS BAD CLUSTER BUT WON"T FIX THE SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR SMALLER SUV"S. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY XL-- SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON HAD VEHICLE CHECKED. THEY DECIDED THE PROBLEM WAS A FUEL CAP. REPLACED WITH NEW CAP AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. TAKE VEHICLE BACK AND THEY CHECK FURTHER AND TELL ME I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. NOTICE WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE GAS IS LEAKING FROM TANK AT THE INLET FROM THE FILLER NECK. DURING INVESTIGATION ON INTERNET I'VE NOTICED ALOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FUEL LEAKS. WHY NO RECALL FOR FUEL TANK ISSUES??? I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED YET BECAUSE I WAS SEARCHING FOR POSSIBLE RECALL. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER THIS ISSUE. IF THE VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL ON AN INCLINE THEN I'M SURE IT HAS VAPORS ESCAPING ON LEVEL GROUND. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHEN THE CONTACT OPENED THE REAR LIFTGATE, IT SLAMMED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO WARN THE CONTACT THAT SERVICE WAS NEEDED. HE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 48,000. UPDATED 07/07/08. *LJ THE LIFTGATE STRUT WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING. UPDATED

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE INTO A DITCH. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF THE DITCH, SHE STRUCK A LARGE CULVERT AND THE VEHICLE WENT AIRBORNE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED SEVERAL BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO A STOP. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT SNAPPED, WHICH CAUSED THE PASSENGER TO BE EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND KILLED BETWEEN THE SECOND OR THIRD ROLLOVER. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER WAS HOSPITALIZED AND REMAINS IN SERIOUS CONDITION. THERE HAS BEEN NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT TO FAIL AND THE AIR BAGS TO NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000. ADDED INFORMATION 10.27/08 *CW UPDATED 10/27/08. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT MADE AN ABRUPT LEFT TURN AND HIS VEHICLE ROLLED OVER TWICE. DURING THE ROLLOVER, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 82,000.

NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE AIR/VENT/HEAT SYSTEM. BREEZE BLOWING IN 24X7 AND THE "RECIRCULATE" BUTTON ONLY WORKS WHEN THE FAN IS ON. EXTREMELY IRRITATING WHEN DRIVING BEHIND A BUS, OR IN A DUST STORM, OR DURING A FIRE. IT IS HIGHLY IRRITATING TO HAVE AIR BLOWING IN YOUR EYES ALL THE TIME, OR ON YOUR FEET MAKING YOU COLD; OR THE OPPOSITE DURING THE SUMMER. WHAT IF I DON'T WANT AIR BLOWING ON ME, HOT OR COLD? I THINK IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE TO ALWAYS FIDDLE WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS TRYING TO MAKE IT COMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS CAR WAS DESIGNED LIKE THIS, I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR PAYMENT I NEVER HAD BEFORE AND A VERY SAD SITUATION. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TO LET ME KNOW THAT I NEEDED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY FOUND THAT THE GAS TANK HAD A CRACK AT THE TOP PORTION. THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED. *TR

FUEL PUMP OUTLET TUBE CORRODED THROUGH CAUSING A RELEASE OF FUEL UNDER PRESSURE, WHICH SPRAYED OVER THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK AND RAN DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE TANK, I FEEL THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A FIRE WITH ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE. THIS PREMATURE FAILURE (5 YEARS) COST OVER $1,000.00. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT SMELLED GASOLINE, BUT DID NOT PAY IT ANY ATTENTION INITIALLY. HIS SON ENTERED THE VEHICLE LATER AND ALSO SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE TANK WITH GASOLINE AND THE SMELL INTENSIFIED. WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME, HE NOTICED A FUEL LEAK BY THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE LEAK ORIGINATED FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHERE THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTS. THE CONTACT DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY STATED THAT THE LEAK ORIGINATED FROM THE GAS TANK, AND IT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 59,000. UPDATED 04/16/08. *LJ THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN 1ST GEAR. THE AIR CONDTION WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THE IGNITION SWITHC SHORTED OUT.

THERE SEEMS TO BE AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF ERROR CODE PO442 IN THE 2003 GMC ENVOY AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. THIS CODE IS A FAULTY GAS TANK THAT OVER TIME DEVELOPS A SMALL LEAK. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE THE TANK. THIS COST ANYWHERE BETWEEN $1000 - $1500 TO REPLACE. IF THERE IS A GAS LEAK THERE CAN BE A FIRE!!! *TR

STRONG ODOR OF GAS COMING FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN SHOP TO REPLACE FUEL SENSOR AND FILL NECK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. SHE WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH AT THE TIME.

THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL SEND SOME PAPERWORK FOR HER TO COMPLETE. THE ENGINE SIZE AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 47,000.

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED. WELL BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT, THEY HAD THE A/C FIXED, DUE TO IT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WELL THE REAR A/C AND HEAT STILL DO NOT WORK. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON, AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. IT DOES NOT GIVE OUT HEAT AT ALL IN THE REAR. THIS IS A REAL ISSUE FOR US AND MANY OTHERS WITH CHILDREN. I HAVE READ PLENTY OF OTHER REPORTS STATING THE SAME OR VERY CLOSE. IN ALL IN ALL, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THESE CARS ARE WAY TO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AND NOT HAVE GMC STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THEIR ISSUE. *TR

OUT BACK LATCH DOOR, DOES NOT SHUT PROPERLY. YOU HAVE TO SLAM IT, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BREAK THE GLASS. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A VERY BIG ISSUE BECAUSE IF IT FAILS TO STAY CLOSE LIKE IT SOMETIMES DOES, IT COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

WE SMELLED GAS FUMES AND WAS LOSING FUEL OUT OF THE TOP OF GAS TANK. THE FUEL TANK WAS REMOVED AND WE FOUND GAS STANDING ON TOP OF THE TANK. WE FOUND THE FUEL PUMP HAD RUSTED AND THE METAL LINES COMING OUT OF THE PUM WAS LEAKING. WE ORDER A NEW PUMP AND FILTER INSTALLED THEM AND PUT FUEL TANK BACK IN TRUCK. NOW IT IS OK NO FUMES OR LEAKS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT NOW REGISTERS SPEEDS MUCH HIGHER THEN BEING DRIVEN. IN ADDITION THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE NEEDLE POINTS TO THE FLOOR. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $600. THE ENVOY ONLY HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

NE WISCONSIN, DRIVING ON VERY COLD AND SNOW COVERED HIGHWAYS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER TWENTY MINUTES, LOST ALL POWER STEERING. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED FOR: PROPER PWR STRG FLUID LEVEL (DIP STICK INDICATED FULL), ANY SNOW/ICE OBSTRUCTIONS BETWEEN TIRE & INNER FENDER (NONE), ANY FLUID LEAKS (NONE), ANY PUNCTURE/RUPTURED HOSES (NONE), ANY TIRE DAMAGE OR IMPROPER INFLATION (ALL PERFECT). NO NOISE FROM POWER STEERING PUMP AT ANY SPEED, NO PUMP SHAFT SEAL LEAK OR PUMP BEARING NOISE, PULLEY/SHAFT ARE NOT OVERHEATING (NO EXCESS FRICTION). VEHICLE HAS ONLY 41K MILES, HAS BEEN TREATED WITH KID GLOVES AND IS SERVICED REGULARLY AT 3500 MILES VS GMC RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN 4-WHEEL HIGH DRIVE MODE AT THE TIME, SELECTING 2WD, AWD OR 4WD LO MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PARKED IN A HEATED GARAGE AND AFTER SITTING IN 60F FOR 24 HOURS, PROBLEMS REMAINS. WITH ALL THE STEERING COMPLAINTS FOR THE VEHICLE ON THIS WEBSITE (I HAVE 11 PRINTED, MOST RECENT 12/23/07), I CANNOT FATHOM WHY YOU CONTINUE TO REPLY TO OWNERS WITH THE SAME, CANNED LETTER? OBVIOUSLY, STEERING IS A CRITICAL ITEM ON ANY VEHICLE. I TRULY FEEL A SMALLER/LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER MAY HAVE HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME INCIDENT WITH THE SAME ROAD CONDITIONS WITH HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES. FOLKS, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH GM'S DESIGN OF THIS PUMP. FAILURES ARE VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF FOR ALMOST EVERY OTHER MAKE & MODEL, IMPORT OR DOMESTIC. PLEASE ASSIST US WITH THIS EVER-INCREASING PROBLEM. NOW I AM LEFT WITH THE DISTASTEFUL TASK OF ARGUING WITH THE GMC DEALERSHIP. *TR

I WAS RETURNING FROM LUNCH, GOING OVER THE VINCENT THOMAS BRIDGE IN L.A. HARBOR. I LOOKED OUT AT THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, THEN LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER. I WAS GOING 90 MPH. I STARTED TO PANIC AND WENT FOR THE BRAKE. MY OTHER SENSES KICKED IN AND SAID "YOUR NOT GOING 90 MPH" . I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER "SAID" ALL KINDS OF NUMBERS. WHEN I PARKED, I THINK IT SAID 40MPH. THAT WAS TWO MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN THE SPEEDOMETER HAS READ ALL KINDS OF WIERD NUMBERS. SOMETIMES IT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY CLOSE, THEN IT GOES OFF THE CHARTS TO 140MPH. I HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT OUT, THE VEHICLE HAS 79,000 MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT GM WOULD COVER IT UP TO 70,000 MILES. THE DEALER WANTED $325.00 FOR THE PART AND $200.00 TO INSTALL IT. I SAID NO SO HE CHARGED ME $45.00 TO CHECK THE ELECTRICAL. BESIDES THE SAFETY FACTORS, WHAT REALLY BOTHERED ME WAS TWO THINGS. 1) THE DEALER MADE THIS SEEM LIKE AN ISOLATED CASE. THIS SITUATON IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE SIMPLY SAID "IT'S PROBALLY A STEPPER MOTOR, IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM,$ 500.00 TO FIX". INSTEAD HE PLAYED DUMB AND CHECKED OVER MY VEHICLE FOR $45.00. THE SECOND THING IS, I TOOK THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OUT TO TAKE A LOOK. IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES. WHERE DOES THE DEALER COME UP WITH $200.00 THE VEHICLE IS SUBSTANDARD. INSTEAD OF OWNING UP TO THE SITUATION, THE DEALER USED THIS SITUATION TO MAKE MONEY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTED AND IT IS PROPER. GM COULD FIX ALL THESE VEHICLES FOR LESS THAN $50.00 A PIECE, IF THEY WERE SMART. INSTEAD THERE ARE HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS OF GM CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE STATED ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY WILL NEVER BUY A GM PRODUCT AGAIN. GO FIGURE! *CN

LIFT GATE, UPPER MOLDING CRACKED WHEN OPENING BACK HATCH WINDOW. POORLY DESIGNED, CONTACTED GMC BASICALLY MY PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH LOCAL GMC DEALER HAS TO REPLACE SEVERAL OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. ALSO ANY VIBRATION FROM THE ROAD CAUSES THE WINDOW AND OR GATE TO COME UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING. SPOKE TO GMC IN REGARDS TO THAT AND I ALSO CHECKED FOR RECALLS.

LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH FAILED,WHILE BEING REPLACED, I WAS INFORMED RIGHT LATCH LOOKED AS BAD. I PAID $542 FOR THESE. WHEN I CONTACTED GMC THEY TOLD ME THE SEALS HAD BEEN REPLACED AND SUPPOSEDLY THE LATCHES LOOKED OK THEN AND NO I'M SORRY,OLD PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE. *JB

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO WE VISITED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. UPON TESTING THE VEHICLE THERE WAS A CRACK FOUND AT THE STEM OF THE FUEL TANK. IT HAD BEEN LEAKING FUEL AND LOOSING PRESSURE CAUSING THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE REPAIR BILL IS AROUND $1400 FOR A SAFETY HAZARD THAT WAS NO FAULT OF MINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN DUE TO EPA REGULATIONS ON VENTING THE CAP AND THAT HE HAD SEEN MANY OF THESE. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO HELP. THEY OFFERED A DISCOUNT ON A NEW OR USED CAR. THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL BUT THE MORE I LOOK INTO THIS, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES OF THIS HAPPENING. THIS PROBLEM COULD KILL MANY PEOPLE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE REAR WINDOW GLASS FELL HALFWAY OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER BEFORE THE GLASS FELL COMPLETELY OFF. THE ADHESIVE FOR THE REAR GLASS HAD BEEN FAILING WHERE THE GLASS AND HINGE MEET. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 90,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. UPDATED 02-01-08 *BF UPDATED 02/01/08 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE GAS TANK WAS CRACKED ON THE VEHICLE. A GEICO REPRESENTATIVE ASSESSED THE DAMAGE AND STATED THAT THE CRACKED GAS TANK WAS THE RESULT OF SAFETY RECALL # 02V121000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS). THE REAR BUMPER AND HITCH WERE DAMAGED DUE TO THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 42,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED A POLICE REPORT AND PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED VEHICLE. UPDATED 11/08/07 *TR..UPDATED 02/20/15 *BF UPDATED 02/20/15*JB

THE SIDE-MIRRORS, PARTICULARLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, MOVED TO DIFFERENT POSITIONS EVEN WITH ALL CURB PARKING FEATURES DISABLED. THE HAPPENED WITH ALMOST EVERY USE. 2. THE SPEEDOMETER GAVE FALSE READINGS AND FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON OR SPEED. IT MAY BE PEGGED AT 120 WHILE AT IDLE. IT WILL RANDOMLY RESET OR FAIL FREQUENTLY.*AK

I WAS DRIVING ON 6/13/07 & IT WAS RAINING I HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON, AND WHEN IT STOPPED RAINING, APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES LATER, I TURNED OFF THE WIPERS. HOWEVER, THEY NEVER CUT OFF. I TRIED EVERYTHING TURNED THEM ON & OFF BUT THEY CONTINUED TO STAY ON. I TRIED TO FIND THE FUSES BUT COULDN'T. SO I WENT TO WILTON MOTORS NEARBY & THE SERVICE DESK PERSON CAME OUT AND TOOK OUT THE FUSE FOR ME. I MADE A APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY 06/14/07. LATER, I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET & FOUND NHTSA RECALL 04V046000. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER ON 6/14/07 I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER FOR GMC TO VERIFY THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WASN'T A PART OF THAT RECALL. I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN THE RECALL O & IT WAS THE SAME MODEL YEAR. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR , WHO TOLD ME THE SAME THING EXCEPT THAT SHE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER, AND THERE. IF THERE WAS WATER IN THE MODULE IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE SUV I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $320.00, BUT BECAUSE GMC DIDN'T HAVE IT ON A OPEN RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE MODULE & IT MUST GO BACK THERE TOMORROW 06/15/07. I CALLED THE 800 # AGAIN & LEFT A VOICE MAIL MESSAGE EXPLAINING WHAT THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID. WOULD FILE A LAW SUIT IF THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *AK

THE ENVOY SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS 18 MPH IN THE PARKED POSITION. IT WILL NOT RETURN TO 0. I HAVE 45,000 MILES ON THE CLE AND IT HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP. *AK

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY WHICH DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WITH THE FAN CLUTCH GOING BAD WHICH AN EXTREMELY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS MODEL AND THE TRAILBRAZER HAD ALSO. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE COMPLETELY BACKED UP FOR A FEW DAYS AND COULD NOT GET TO MY PROBLEM BUT WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING IT OUT, HE KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND SAID THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY. I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF THIS PROBLEM. YOU CAN READ MANY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AT THIS WEB SITE, HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWCOMMENTS_REVIEW_64655.HTML. THERE ARE NO TELLING HOW MANY MORE WOULD HAVE POSTED SUCH A COMPLAINT IF THEY HAD KNOWN OF THIS OR OTHER SITES TO DO SO.

SMELLED FUEL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. IT GRADUALLY GOT WORSE, FROM JUST SMELLING IT WHEN I WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO SMELLING INSIDE. TOOK TO GM DEALERSHIP IN TOWN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. IT HAD CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT WHEN FUEL WAS PUMPING IT PUMPED FUEL ONTO THE TOP OF THE TANK. $750.00 WAS THE BILL. *TR

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL AND AT TIMES SMELL STRONG GAS FUMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT OR LESS THAN 35 MPH, ON BRIGHT SUNNY DAY AND ON DRY PAVEMENT VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LET IT UP AND PRESSED IT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN WITHOUT SUCCESS. ON THIRD ATTEMPT JAMMED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENTIRE CAR LOCKED UP. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN, AT LEAST ONE WHEEL LOCKED, HIT THE CAR THAT WAS STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT. EVEN AFTER STOPPING ONLY THE SERVICE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND THE STOP ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL REMAINED TO THE FLOOR , AND I COULDN'T NOT SHIFT INTO PARK UNTIL AFTER JAMMING ON THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. 9000 IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING THE FRAME HAD TO BE PULLED, AND YET THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. 4OOO MILES TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. NO INJURIES.*AK

2003 GMC ENVOY XL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, SMELL OF FUEL, AND LEAK WHEN PARKED ON HILL. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT REPLACED FUEL TANK, $979.11 REPAIR BILL. VEHICLE HAD 74,980 MILES ON IT AND HAD PROBLEMS FOR APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES BEFORE HAVING IT FIXED... DEALERSHIP SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM BEING POSSIBLY EPIDEMIC. *AK

BLOWER MOTOR STAYED ON WHEN VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. WOULD DRAIN BATTERY. DEALER REPLACED BLOWER CONTROL MODULE. $246.20 BILL OF REPAIRS. *AK

DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE COLD, MOSTLY AIR BAG, ABS, PARKING BRAKE LIGHT, ALL GAUGES DO NOT WORK EXCEPT SPEEDOMETER. THIS PROBLEM HAS NO TREND OTHER THAN WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE, COULD BE COINCIDENTAL. AT TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WITH OTHER LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS STARTED, BUT THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY WAS OVER. GMC WILL NOT TROUBLESHOOT THIS PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY THEM ALMOST $100 TO START, AND THEN A HOURLY FEE. AT TIMES, THESE CONDITIONS EXIST AND THEN LATER THE INSTRUMENTS START WORKING. DOES NOT SEEM TO CORRELATE TO VEHICLE TEMPERATURE. LIGHTS OFTEN STAY ON DURING ENTIRE TRIP AND GAUGES ARE ALL OFF. WHEN EVERYTHING SUDDENLY STARTS WORKING CORRECTLY IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE BECAUSE OF A BUMP OR WARMING OF THE VEHICLE. IN DECEMBER I TOOK VEHICLE TO GMC, AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED PROBLEMS ON WORK ORDER. HE PUT CHECK BATTERY, OF COURSE NO TROUBLESHOOTING TOOK PLACE. SINCE THEN I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL GMC DEALERSHIPS, THEY ALL WANT RIDICULOUS FEES TO CHECK IT OUT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT IN THE HEATED GARAGE AND BARELY DRIVEN UNTIL JANUARY 2007. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE WIRING. WHEN THE GAUGES ARE OUT, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SEE HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE OR IF OIL/WATER IS LOW. THERE IS NO WAY TO MONITOR THE FUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE, OR THE AIR BAGS OR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. *AK

SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. TOOK 2003 GMC ENVOY TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND TECHNICIAN SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH SPEEDOMETER. HOWEVER, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED ON 50 MPH WHEN TRUCKWAS SITTING STILL, SOMETIMES HIGHER NUMBER. CALLED GMC REGARDING THE SPEEDOMETER, NO CALL BACK, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT. TRUCK IS CURRENT NOT UNDER WARRANTY. NOW HAVE TO PAY $800 OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. *AK

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. *JB

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE IT FAILED EMISSION TESTING AND THE REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES LIKE MINE WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I FOUND THAT YOUR NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE07014 IS THE PROBLEM THAT THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS IS STILL OPEN. THE REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE GMC DEALER BECAUSE THEY FELT THAT THE DEALER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE PROBLEM AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WILL THIS BECOME A RECALL ISSUE AND WILL THE DEALER NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AT THEIR EXPENSE? *JB

FUEL PUMP MODULE (FUEL SENDING UNIT) CORRODES AND LEAKS FUEL. AND GIVE FAULTY READING AT THE GAS READING GAUGE. NOT ABLE TO CHECK IF TANK IS EMPTY. *JB

2003 GMC ENVOY XL FUEL LEAK, MY 2003 ENVOY XL DEVELOPED A SMELL OF GAS, BECAME STRONGER AS TIME WENT BY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A GMC DEALER, WHO FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS LEAKING BECAUSE OF CORROSION. WE HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED AT A COST OF $953.10. THE VEHICLE HAD 40,754 MILES ON IT, AND IS 4 YEARS OLD. THE OLD PART IS NOT AVALIABLE, THE DEALER KEPT IT (MIKE SMITH BUICK GMC TRANSIT ROAD LOCKPORT N.Y.)

2003 GMC ENVOY WITH A LIST OF PROBLEMS **NAR**CC THE CONSUMER BEGAN TO HEAR A KNOCKING AND PINGING IN THE ENGINE ON COLD STARTS AND FELT A HESITATION WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO GEAR. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS, IT WAS FINALLY DISCOVERED THE ENGINE KNOCK WAS DUE TO SHORTER PISTONS IN THE RE-DESIGNED ENGINE AND THE HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD HE WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE ENGINE KNOCK, BECAUSE IT COULD BE MORE TROUBLE TAKING THE ENGINE APART. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE ENGINE STALLED DUE TO THE BATTERY DYING. FROM APRIL 2004 TO OCTOBER 2004 THE BATTERY FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO BE RE-CHARGED. DURING THAT SAME TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND EACH TIME IT HAPPENED, THE DEALER WOULD HAVE TO REPROGRAM THE ENGINE COMPUTER. THE RADIO WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHICH PRIMARILY CONSISTED OF STATIC. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER CONTROL KNOBS AS WELL AS THE RADIO KNOBS WORE OUT. THE FRONT CENTER CONSOLE WAS LOOSE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON BECAUSE THE THIRD STOP LIGHT THAT'S ON THE TOP OF THE LIFTGATE MALFUNCTIONED. THERE WAS A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE STOP LIGHT. THE COOLING FAN BROKE, THE BRAKES AND THE LEFT FRONT HEAD LAMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS, DIRECTIONAL AND SIGNAL LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LUG NUT BROKE WHILE A REPLACEMENT TIRE WAS BEING MOUNTED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT STABILIZER LINKAGE WAS REPLACED. THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FUEL LINES AND A SEAL ON THE TANK DUE TO A LEAK. THE SEAT BELT WAS DESIGNED POORLY AND THE BELT CUTS INTO THE CONSUMERS NECK. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DIDN'T CLOSE PROPERLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YEARS. *JB

AFTER HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL SUCH AS BROKEN WINDOW, 4 WD BROKEN, AND MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I NOTICED A HUMMING NOISE. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED ALONG WITH A BAD SWITCH IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS BAD. IT IS BEING FIXED NOW, BUT WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS THAT THIS SORT OF THING SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO A NEW CAR AND GENERALLY THE DIFFERENTIAL SHOULD LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

ON 2/15/07 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WENT OUT, BRAKES LOCKED UP, ALL GAUGES WENT ERRATIC BOUNCING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND THE HEATER STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR UPON THIS HAPPENING I NEARLY WENT INTO A CREEK HOWEVER STRUGGLING DID MANAGE TO SAFELY GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A DITCH. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHEN UPON DIAGNOSIS THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD FAILED AND ALL OF THE ABOVE COMPONENTS WERE TIED INTO THE SWITCH. I AT MY OWN EXPENSE HAD THE IGNITION REPLACED AND THE RPM GAUGE STILL DOES NOT WORK. I CONTACTED GMC THE VERY DAY OF THE INCIDENT TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE ONLY TO BE BOUNCED AROUND TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT OFFICES, NONE OF WHICH HAVE MADE THIS SAFETY ISSUE A TOP PRIORITY. I HAVE NOTATED EVERY CONVERSATION WITH EVERY PERSON THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO AND WHAT WAS SAID. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO TAKE THE LEGAL ROUTE, HOWEVER I AM PREPARED TO DO SO. WHEN IGNITION SWITCHES FAIL IT SHOULD NOT SHUT DOWN A VEHICLE IN THE MANNER THAT IT DOES. ALTHOUGH I WAS SUCCESSFUL AT NOT BEING INJURED OR INJURING ANYONE ELSE THAT WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE IN THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. *NM

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON SOME 2003 GMC ENVOYS REGARDING A TURN SIGNAL DEFECT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V198000. WITH 286,478 POTENTIAL VEHICLES AFFECTED. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND IT IS NOT WITHIN THE VIN RANGE OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE DOSES INDEED HAVE THE INTERMITTENT INCORRECT TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM, GMC IS REFUSING TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE OF MY VIN.*JB

GAS TANK FAILED. HAD TO REPLACE AT A COST OF OVER $1000 ON 2003 GMC ENVOY. HAVE GAS TANK WHICH FAILED - WAS RETRIEVED FROM DEALER WHEN CAR WAS PICK UP IF NHTSA IS INTERESTED. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE A GAS TANK. *NM

A CRACKING HAS OCCURRED WHERE THE GASOLINE FILLER TUBE CONNECTS TO THE TANK. THAT CAUSED A VACUUM LEAK, WHICH CAUSED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. DEALERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED, AND CONFIRMED CRACKING AND ADVISED GASOLINE LEAKING COULD OCCUR AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING TANK. 1.VACUUM LEAK RENDERS GASOLINE TANK EMISSIONS SYSTEM INEFFICIENT. 2. IF GASOLINE LEAK OCCURS, IT IS THEN A FIRE HAZARD. THE DEALERSHIP COMMUNICATED TO US, HE HAS SEEN SIMILAR FAILURES IN THAT VEHICLE MODEL (GMC ENVOY). *NM

GASOLINE ODOR OUTSIDE AND INSIDE VEHICLE. DEALER FOUND SEVERE CORROSION OF FUEL PUMP MODULE, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THEY STATED IT WAS A COMMON FAILURE AND HAD MANY PRIOR EXAMPLES. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A MECHANIC HOOK HIS COMPUTER UP TO THE VEHICLE. THE CODE IT GAVE WAS A BAD GAS CAP. HE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND RESET THE COMPUTER. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I ALSO SMELLED GAS AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND NOTICED GAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I AM HAVING THE GAS TANK DROPPED AND CHECKED THIS WEEKEND. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM? *JB

GMC ENVOY 55,000 MILES, SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORKS. ERRATIC BEHAVIOR, VARYING FROM REPORTING SPEED OF 30 MPH AT IDLE, TO 0 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. *JB

THE PLASTIC GAS TANK ON MY 2003 ENVOY XL IS CRACKED AT THE NECK GOING INTO THE TANK RELEASING GAS AND GAS FUMES. GAS IS LEAKING FROM THE CRACK AND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE AND/OR EXPLODE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS IN RAINY WET ROAD CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM WOULD NOT TURN OFF, ONCE ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED AND TURNED OFF, IN ORDER TO TURN OFF THE WIPERS. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURRED DURING RAINY CONDITIONS. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL, #04V046000, REGARDING THE VISIBILITY: WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER. THE SERVICE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED, AND DETERMINED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THE WIPER PROBLEM COULD WORSENED AND POSE A RISK TO SAFETY.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE LOOSE AND BECAME INOPERABLE. A NHTSA RECALL, #04V527000 WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONCERNING, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING; BRAKE LIGHTS HOWEVER; THE RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT OFFER A SECOND REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ON A CONSISTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FAULTY SPEEDOMETER WAS CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CLUSTER. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED NOR REPLACED. THE CONTACT FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS (EXAMPLE: #10096707) CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.*AK

IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS I HAVE SMELLED GAS AND STARTED GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID ALL THE NECESSARY STEPS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM COME TO FIND OUT THE FILLER NECK IS BROKEN AWAY FROM THE TANK THAT HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL OF A FIERY REAR-END CRASH. CURSING THE NET IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE AND FROM SOME OF THE COMMENTS HAVE LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM OUT THERE . IS THERE SOME WAY TO GET GM TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM WITH THEIR GAS TANK? *JB

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY WITH 82,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO THE SUNSHELL GEAR WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS DOWNSHIFTING HARD, I TOOK THE CAR TO A GMC DEALER LESS THAN 1000 MILES AGO TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD MY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO REVERSE AND THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $1,800. *JB

I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AFTER I PARKED MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL IN THE GARAGE. AFTER INSPECTING, NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING ON GROUND. TOWED TO MECHANIC. TOLD TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSE WAS LAYING NEXT TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER - NOT SECURED. HEAT FROM CC RUBBED HOLE IN TC HOSE AND THEREFORE COULD HAVE IGNITED VEHICLE. SINCE I HAD PARKED IN THE GARAGE, IT ALSO COULD HAVE BURNED MY OTHER VEHICLE AND OUR HOUSE. MECHANIC REPLACED HOSE AND SECURED. GMC WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A PROBLEM SINCE I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY RECALL OR BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM. *JB

SPEEDOMETER PEGGED OUT, ACTING ERRATIC...NO WARNING; JUST STARTED WHILE DRIVING AROUND 35 MPH. SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ! RECALL PLEASE ! *JB

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, TOLD TO GET NEW GAS CAP, MONTHS LATER SAME PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THIS TIME MECHANIC FOUND A CRACK IN THE NECK OF THE HOSE THAT GOES INTO GAS TANK. AS I SEE IN THIS SECTION, APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. $800 LATER, I HOPE GMC WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE FLAW AND ISSUE A RECALL? WILL THIS HAPPEN WITH MY NEW TANK TOO? *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH DURING NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS IN A SCHOOL ZONE, THE GAS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND A GAS ODOR FUMIGATED THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK WHICH LEAKED VAPORS AND THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. UPDATED 12/01/06. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND A WARNING SIGNAL DISPLAYED ON THE VEHICLE'S PANEL. ALSO, THE CONTACT SMELLED GAS FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD A LEAK; THE FILLER NECK WAS DETACHED FROM THE TANK. THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 12/1/2006 - THE FILLER NECK DID NOT CONNECT PROPERLY TO THE TANK WHICH WAS FOUND WHEN THE TANK PRESSURIZED. THE CONSUMER FELLS THAT THE CONNECTION OF THE NECK AND TANK IS A DESIGN FLAW. *NM

THERE IS A RECALL ON ERRATIC WIPER OPERATION IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY. BUT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, IF I WANT FIXED. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS DON'T SHUT OFF IF TOO MUCH MOISTURE GETS IN THE WIPER MODULE. SHOULD BE AN OPEN RECALL. *NM

AIR CONDITIONING RUNS HOT- THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS BUT IT NEEDS TO BE AN OPEN RECALL TO BE FIXED--- NEEDS REFLASH FOR CONTROL HEAD-THAT'S WHAT MY MECHANIC SAID. *NM

WHEN I FILL MY ENVOY WITH GAS, IT WILL NOT STOP WHEN IT IS FULL. THE GAS THEN SPILLS OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE SUV AND CAUSES ME TO CLEAN IT IMMEDIATELY AND SMELL LIKE GAS. I KNOW THAT IT IS THE SUV AND NOT THE PUMP BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH MY OTHER VEHICLE AT THE SAME PUMP. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE BRAKE LIGHT ON TOP OF THE REAR WINDOW FELL OFF. THE DEALER WAS ALERTED. UPDATED 9/20/2006 - *NM

A PLASTIC GAS TANK THAT WAS INSTALLED NEW ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY CRACKED AND IS RELEASING FUEL FUMES. *NM

(1) EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, - (A) REGULATOR IN DRIVER SIDE MIDDLE SEAT DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED PRIOR TO 36000 AND - (B) PASSENGER SIDE MIDDLE SEAT DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AT 43000 MILES (2) A- WINDOW FAILED TO OPERATE AT NO CHARGE B- NEW REGULATOR INSTALLED - $200 + CHARGE (3) PARTS REPLACED FOR PRIOR TO WARRANTY CHARGE OVER $200 FOR SECOND FAILURE. *NM

GAS TANK BACK SPITS WHEN FILLING AT STATION...GOES ALL OVER GROUND REAR ACCESS WINDOW POPS OPEN WHEN DRIVING PASSENGER WINDOW MECHANISM BROKEN AND GLASS PIECES FORMED IN DOOR. MECHANISM FAILED TO RAISE AND LOWER THE WINDOW...CAUSING A GRINDING SOUND. REPLACEMENT WAS COSTLY AND UNECESSARY FOR ME THE CAR OWNER. SHOULD WORK FOR YEARS WITHOUT FAILURE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS MANEUVERED OFF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PREPARED TO BE TOWED THE TOWMAN NOTICED GAS LEAKING. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE LEAK AND DETERMINED THE TANK SHIFTED CAUSING THE GAS LINE TO CRACK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE GAS TANK WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

PARKED 2003 GMC ENVOY AT WORK. LEFT WORK, UNABLE TO START TRUCK. STARTER DID NOT ENGAGE. UNABLE TO MOVE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL WITH KEY IN ON POSITION AND FOOT ON BRAKE. TRUCK IS STUCK IN PARK. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED, THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR FAILURES TO THE EXTERIOR TURN SIGNALS AS WELL AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A RECALL NOTICE WHERE THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED BEFORE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN BUT THE EXTERIOR LIGHT WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS RESULTED IN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE BEING STRUCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOORS CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. *AK

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE 2ND TIME. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THEN YOU COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT ANY GIVEN SPEED ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT'S POWER SEAT MOVED BY ITSELF. BECAUSE IT HAPPENED UNEXPECTEDLY, IT CREATED UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE SEAT CAN BE MANUALLY RESET HOWEVER RESETTING THE SEAT WOULD NOT PREVENT THE MALFUNCTIONING FROM RECURRING. WHEN THE INCIDENTS FIRST OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 5/12/06 AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR 37 DAYS SO FAR WITH NO REPAIRS.

WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK, I HAVE HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF TOO QUICKLY AS IF THE TANK IS FULL. HOWEVER, I HAVE ALSO HAD THE OPPOSITE AT ONE PARTICULAR GAS STATION. EACH TIME I GOT TO THIS PARTICULAR STATION, THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, BUT GAS CONTINUES TO FLOW AND SPILLS INTO THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH MY GMC ENVOY AND NOT ANY OTHER FAMILY OR FRIENDS' VEHICLES AT THE SAME GAS STATION. IT HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME WITH THE ENVOY SO WE HAVE HAD TO STOP USING THAT STATION FOR THE ENVOY FILL-UPS. AFTER SEEING THE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CRACKED GAS HOSE AND ISSUES WITH LEAKS, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMEONE KNOWS THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANKS ON THE ENVOYS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE DESIGN OF THE GAS TANK AND ASSEMBLY IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND WILL RESULT IN INJURIES. *JB

I OPENED UP MY HATCHBACK AND HEARD A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS BREAKING. I CLOSED THE HATCHBACK AND LOOKED ABOVE TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING STUCK ABOVE IN THE HATCHBACK DOOR. THERE WAS NOTHING THERE AND NOTHING FOUND TO BE BROKEN. I AGAIN TRIED TO OPEN IT AND AGAIN HEARD A CLICKING, CRACKING, BREAKING TYPE NOISE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. ALTHOUGH I HAD JUST BOUGHT MY CAR THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED "COSMETIC". I WAS TOLD THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE HINGES THAT HOLD THE DOOR. THAT DOES NOT SOUND COSMETIC. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE DOOR COULD FALL OFF AT ANYTIME (NOT SURE IF THIS IS TRUE OR A SCARE TACTIC TO GET ME TO SPEND BIG BUCKS TO GET IT FIXED) BUT THAT ALSO DOES NOT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING COSMETIC. IT SOUNDS MUCH MORE SERIOUS TO ME AND I AM PRETTY UPSET THAT THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THIS SINCE IT SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT I WAS TOLD IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. *JB

MAKING A U TURN IN AN "03 GMC ENVOY. POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF AUTOMOBILE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 39,00 MILES ON IT. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE PUMPING FUEL INTO THE TANK, GASOLINE WAS NOTICED DRIPPING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A CRACK AT THE BASE OF THE FILLER PIPE AND THE TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

REAR HATCH COVER FOR 2003 GMC ENVOY XL, IN WINTER CLIMATES, SNOW THEN ICE COLLECTS AND IT CAN BREAK, POTENTIALLY COME OFF GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, COULD IT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT? HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT THEY STILL HAVE NOT CHANGED THE DESIGN, AND ACCORDING TO FORMER SERVICE WRITER AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP,THEY HAVE REPAIRED OR REPLACE SEVERAL. FIRST REPAIR CONSISTS OF USING ADHESIVE UNDER HATCH, DOESN'T LAST LONG. I CONSIDER IT A DESIGN DEFECT, THAT SHOULD BE CHANGED, AGAIN WOULD ONLY BE A PROBLEM IN WINTER CLIMATE AREAS. INCIDENT DATE IS DATE SCHEDULE FOR REPLACEMENT OF PART. *JB

EVERY TIME YOU EXIT THE VEHICLE AND CLOSE THE DOOR OR TOUCH ANY THING THAT IS METAL AFTER EXITING THE CAR YOU GET SHOCKED....SPARKS FLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEDAY I WILL BE PUMPING GAS AND ONE OF MY CHILDREN IS GOING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND TOUCH SOMETHING AND SPARK AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. *NM

I HAVE A GMC ENVOY 4WD, ON 2 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS LOCKED THE GEAR INTO 4WD AND 4HI. VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO COMMAND TO SHIFT GEARS TO NORMAL DRIVING IN 2WD. IN TURN THIS LEADS TO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM--VEHICLE TAKES TOO LONG TO STOP DURING NORMAL BRAKING. THE VEHICLE ALSO BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE ON THE ROAD--KEEPS SHIFTING SIDES MAKING HARD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT ALIGNMENT DURING DRIVING. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY A GMC AUTHORIZED DEALER IN NOVEMBER, 2005 AT WHICH POINT THEY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSFER CASE WHICH CAUSES IT TO BREAK APART. THIS IN TURN CAUSES ALL THE OTHER SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE TO MALFUNCTION BECAUSE IT'S A COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM. THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM UNTIL FEB, 2006 AND THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. I HAVE MADE GMC AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALER. ON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER I BECAME AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GMC ENVOY AND THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY WAY GMC IS RESOLVING THE PROBLEM IS REFERRING CUSTOMERS TO THE DEALER FOR A REPLACEMENT ON THE TRANSFER CASE--WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME ONE THAT KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. AT THIS POINT GMC DOES NOT HAVE A DIFFERENT TRANSFER CASE THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL. GMC IS ALSO WILLING TO FIX YOUR VEHICLE AS LONG AS IT'S UNDER WARRANTY BUT ONCE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSFER CASE PERSIST, YOU HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. GMC IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSFER CASE BUT THEY ARE NOT LETTING THE CONSUMERS KNOW. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED ON 10-14-04 BOTH REAR DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THE DOORS WERE FAILING TO LOCK. IN 2-06 THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER CONCERNING THE LATCHES/LOCKS AND LINKAGES; NHTSA RECALL # 05V494000. ON 3-13-06 THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WEATHER STRIPPING AROUND THE REAR DOORS AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE FOR CORROSION ON THE LATCHES. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THERE WAS NO CORROSION ON THE LATCHES. ON 4-8-06 WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, AS THE CONTACT WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR FLEW OPEN, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND TO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. BOTH CHILD SAFETY LOCKS WERE ENGAGED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 4-08-06.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE.

THE ENGINE ON MY 2003 ENVOY XL CAUGHT FIRE AND THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED BY THE FIRE. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING UP A ROAD RISING 1500 VERTICAL FEET OVER A DISTANCE OF 3.5 MILES. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BEFORE SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE CAR ALERTED US TO THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE HAD 36000 MILES ON IT AND HAD RECENTLY HAD ALL THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE COMPLETED INCLUDING OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION AND FUEL SYSTEM FLUSHES. THE ONE ISSUE WHICH THE GMC DEALER HAD BEEN UNABLE TO FIX WAS A LEAK TO THE FRONT PINION SEAL. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH A VERY REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP HAD ALERTED US TO THE PROBLEM WHILE PERFORMING THE OTHER MAINTENANCE AND SUGGESTED THAT WE HAVE THE DEALER ADDRESS THE PROBLEM WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE THE SEAL BECAUSE IF IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A WASTE OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE SEAL. THE FIRE SEEMED TO ORIGINATE FROM A LOCATION A QUARTER OF THE WAY IN FROM THE PASSENGER BUMPER ABOUT AS FAR BACK AS THE TIRE. SINCE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST TWELVE HOURS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE COULD BE. OUR INSURANCE AGENT'S CLAIMS ADJUSTER WILL BE LOOKING INTO THIS I'M SURE. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. WE HAD SEVEN PEOPLE IN THE CAR TODAY INCLUDING 3 CHILDREN AND 2 SENIOR CITIZENS. LUCKILY EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT UNHARMED BUT WE HAD NO WARNING. HAD WE NOT BEEN IN A LOCATION WHERE SOMEONE SAW THE FIRE AND ALERTED US I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. WHAT CAN WE DO TO FIND THE CAUSE AND MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE? *NM

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON, SMALL EMISSIONS FUEL LEAK, DEALERSHIP WANTED TO REPLACE FUEL TANK, OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW, HOPING FOR RECALL. *NM

I TOOK MY 2003 GMC ENVOY TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BACK LIFT GATE CHECKED BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC SHIELD ON TOP DID NOT SEEM TO BE ALIGNED CORRECTLY AND WHEN I OPEN THE LIFT GATE IT MAKES A CRACKING SOUND. I WAS INFORMED BY MY DEALER THAT THE BRACKETS THAT SECURE THE LIFT GATE ARE SEPARATING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD A CRASH OR INJURY YET RELATED TO THIS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE AT 5 MPH OR LESS THE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALERTED. UPDATED 04/14/06. *JB

1. NORMAL WINTER DRIVING IN NORTHEASTERN OHIO. 2. ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE. THE RESULT WAS IMMEDIATE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING IT TO SLIDE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A RURAL COUNTRY ROAD WHERE IT WAS STRUCK BY AN ON COMING CAR. 3. THE CAR IS TOTALED AS ASSESSED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY, NO REPAIRS MADE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR FLEW OPEN AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THERE WAS CORROSION ON THE DOOR LATCH FROM ROAD SALT BUILD UP. THE DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR REQUIRED MORE FORCE TO OPEN. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V494000, REGARDING THE DOOR LATCHES. THE VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. UPDATED 3/3/2006 - *NM

2003 GENERAL MOTORS GMC ENVOY XL DID NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT BRAKING WHEN BRAKES WERE STRONGLY APPLIED IN A LOW SPEED (10-15 MPH) SUDDEN STOP RESULTING IN A MINOR FRONT END COLLISION WITH THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STRONGLY APPLIED, THE VEHICLE TOOK MORE DISTANCE TO STOP THEN EXPECTED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, BUT DEALERSHIP DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE FINDING ANY PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE STOPPING POWER IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. *JB

VEHICLE OVERHEATING EVIDENT WHEN TRAVELING FOR LONG DISTANCES; WITH REPEATED CHECKING STARTING WITH THE DEALER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO CONFIRM DIAGNOSIS OF PROBLEM WHICH REPEATEDLY GOT WORSE AND AFTER CHECKING WITH A REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH GASKET PROBLEM AND CYLINDER HEAD WARPING .*AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. UPON DRIVING OUT OF TOWN FOR A FEW HOURS THE SPEEDOMETER READ 120 MPH IN PARK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE ORIGINAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE CLUSTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT IT WOULD BE 6-8 WEEKS UNTIL THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WAS ON BACK ORDER DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF ENVOYS AND YUKONS THAT CLUSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT IF A NUMBER OF GMC VEHICLES HAD FAULTY CLUSTERS THEN PERHAPS IT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR AT LEAST FOR SUB STANDARD REASONS, IF NOT FOR SAFETY REASONS. *AK

OCTOBER-03 TO MARCH-04, BETWEEN 800 AND 3000 MILEAGE: SEVERAL DUAL AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. TEMPERATURE WOULD RUN BERSERK (VERY HOT IN COLD WEATHER WHEN SET AT 55F, NO AC IN HOT WEATHER). THE RADIO WOULD LOOSE ITS PRESET STATIONS. DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM (NO CODE WAS SET) AND TOLD ME TO RETURN WHEN CONDITION REPEATS WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. HE FINALLY FOUND A CODE INDICATION COMMUNICATION INTERRUPTION AND LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. THE PROBLEM RESURFACED TEMPORARILY AGAIN IN SUMMER OF 2005. *NM

1) SEQUENCE OF EVENTS - NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN WE TRY TO START. -BATTERY VOLTAGE OK, AUTO-HEADLIGHTS ON, BRIGHT - INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPLETELY DEAD -2 HOURS LATER, INSTRUMENT ON THE MILES PER HOUR INSTRUMENT IS GOING WILD, BACK AND FORTH FINALLY SETS AT ZERO, NOW ENGINE WILL START. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR THE FIRST TIME - RADIO LOOSES PRESET STATION MEMORY 2) IT STARTED ABOUT A WEEK; WE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE WARM ENGINE. 3) AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL IS WORKING SORT OF, SOMETIME NOT 4) THE CHECK OIL CAME ON, AT THAT TIME THERE WAS PLENTY 5) THE BACKUP MIRROR OPTION IS ALWAYS LOOSING THE INPUT 6) TRANSMISSION PROBLEM LIGHT WAS ON FOR A DAY SOME TIME AGO WHILE DRIVING IN SB AND IN 2 WD, CALLED YOUR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TO IGNORE THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, A SUPERFICIAL FIX AS IT TURNED OUT LATER WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT IDENTIFIED. *NM

THE VEHICLE WAS IN SERVICE 3 TIMES WITHIN 14 DAYS, GM SAYS THE PROBLEM WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH, I SAY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. ENGINE STALLED 6 TIMES IN MOVING TRAFFIC, THE "ABS" WARNING LIGHT IS ON, SOME TIME THE "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON. DEALER REPLACES THROTTLE BODY INJECTION ASSEMBLY. NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE STALLS AGAIN WITH SAME SYMPTOMS. DEALER REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN. !4 HOURS LATER ENGINE STALLS IN MOVING TRAFFIC. DEALER INSTALLS EVENT RECORDING DEVICE, ENGINE STALLS AND IDENTIFIED LOW IGNITION VOLTAGE (6.7 VS 13.6 VDC). SOURCE OF PROBLEM COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED, DEALER SAYS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. WE FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE REDUCE POWER ENGINE AND OIL PRESSURE LOW, CHECK ENGINE IGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STOPPED, ALTHOUGH, THE ENGINEWAS STILL RUNNING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM, BUT REPLACED THE TANK GASKET, GAS PEDAL, AND COMPUTER CHIP. THIS CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. *AK

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL 6 CYLINDER. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. ALWAYS SERVICED AND ONLY HIGHWAY MILES. MY TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. IT COSTS ME $2300 TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. NO SUPPORT FROM DEALER OR GMC. *JB

LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH DOES NOT RELEASE 100% OF THE TIME, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUTSIDE. *NM

I WAS MAKING A SLOW LEFT HAND TURN FROM A STOP SIGN AND MY 2003 GMC ENVOY DRIVE TRAIN HAD LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THIS OCCURRED I NOTICED THE LIGHTS FLASHING FOR THE 4WD AND 4LO SWITCH EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED. THE VEHICLE CORRECTED ITSELF AND 15 SEC LATER AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE DRIVE TRAIN LOCKED UP ONCE AGAIN. TO REMEDY THIS I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND OPERATION WENT BACK TO NORMAL. *NM

CONSUMER COMPLAINT REGARDING SCRATCHES ON GLASS AND ROTORS CORRODED. *TS THE MIRRORS CONTINUOUSLY LOST THEIR MEMORY POSITION. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REPLACE HEAD LAMP BULBS AS THEY CONTINUOUSLY BURN OUT. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURN SIGNAL. IF I HAVE THE HEAT ON, THE SIGNAL WON'T BLINK - JUST LIGHTS UP. I AM USING TODAY'S DATE ALTHOUGH THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE LATE NOVEMBER. I ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE BACK DOORS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE LATCH ON ONE OF THE DOORS IN SEPTEMBER AND I CAN FEEL IT GOING ON THE OTHER DOOR AS WELL. *JB

BOTH REAR WINDOWS DROPPED OPEN WITHOUT REASON OR CAUSE DURING HIGHWAY OPERATION. FIRST WINDOW WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. *JB

WE HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. OUR CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. WE BROUGHT IT INTO SERVICE TWICE AND EACH TIME WE LEFT THEY SAID FIXED, BUT SOON THEREAFTER THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WE WERE TOLD THEY REPLACED THE GAS CAP. WE NOTICE THAT WHEN WE GO TO FILL WITH GAS THERE IS NO WHOOSING SOUND WHEN WE REMOVE THE GAS CAP, AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FILL WITH GAS. THE PUMP KEEPS CLICKING OFF LIKE IT IS FULL. SOME TIMES IT TAKE 20 MINUTES TO FUEL THE AUTO. WE ALWAYS SMELL THE ODOR OF GASOLINE. IF WE DRIVE AND STOP SOMEWHERE, WHEN WE GET OUT YOU CAN SMELL THE GASOLINE. *NM

I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND WENT TO USE THE GMC PROVIDED JACK AND SPARE TIRE. THE JACK WAS HELD IN BY A LARGE RUBBER BAND THAT BROKE AS SOON AS I STARTED TO REMOVE IT. WHEN I WENT TO LOWER THE SPARE TIRE DOWN I HEARD A "CRUNCH" COME FROM THE GEAR END OF THE SPARE TIRE PULLEY. THE SPARE TIRE PULLEY, WHICH WAS MADE OF PLASTIC, BROKE INTO PIECES AND WOULDN'T ALLOW THE TIRE TO BE LOWERED ANYMORE OR RAISED. GMC SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR PROVIDING SUCH A LOUSY SYSTEM ON SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY USED IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. NICE WAY TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS. *NM

CAR: GMC ENVOY 2003 WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. "REDUCED POWER" LIGHT CAME ON TOO. ENGINE RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO 1100. BARELY AVOIDED CRASH. *JB MADE IT TO THE PARKING LOT. RESTARTED ENGINE FEW TIMES SAME PROBLEM. EXECUTED "CLEAR CHANGE OIL LIGHT" PROCEDURE FEW TIMES. IT CLEARED "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AND EVERYTHING IS NORMAL NOW. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH "CHANGE OIL" TIMER AND LIGHT. IT APPEARS THAT WHEN TIMER EXPIRED THE COMPUTER RATHER THAN TURNING "CHANGE OIL" LIGHT ON ENABLES "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AND DRASTICALLY REDUCES ENGINE POWER. WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY IT CAN EASILY LEAD TO A CRASH. I PLAN TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP IN TWO DAYS. THANK YOU.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2003 GMC ENVOY SLT, 2WD, AND I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR A PROBLEM WHICH I CONSIDER AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. MY VEHICLE HAS NOW FAILED FOR A 4TH TIME AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER AS I AM ACCELERATING ON TO HIGHWAYS AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY TRUCKS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS PULLING OUT ON TO A HIGHWAY AS I AM UNABLE TO GO OVER ABOUT 10 MPH AND HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR A THIRD TIME FOR THAT SAME PROBLEM BACK IN JANUARY. THE DEALER HAD IT FOR A WEEK AND PUT OVER 400 MILES ON MY VEHICLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN, 6 TIMES IN 3 DAYS, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER WILL NOT ADMIT ITS THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE SO MUCH TIME HAS ELAPSED. AFTER I LOSE POWER, MY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHTS COME ON. I MUST PULL OVER AND TURN MY ENGINE COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT GOES OUT BUT THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT REMAINS ON. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY REPLACED ANY PARTS AS THEY FELT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD THE VEHICLE THEY DID REPLACE SOME PART, BUT IT WAS NEVER FULLY EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT THEY REPLACED. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND MY FAMILY, I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPORTED TO YOU IN CASE I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES DO OCCUR, I WANT IT ON RECORD THAT THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING WITH THIS VEHICLE. **PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INCIDENT DATE I HAVE ENTERED WAS THE LAST DATE IT HAS OCCURRED, I JUST STARTED KEEPING A LOG SINCE IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN** *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HE TRIED TO PULL THE REAR CENTER SEAT BELT IT ONLY CAME OUT ABOUT THREE INCHES AND STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. HE NOTICED THE PROBLEM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO MOVE A CHILD SAFETY SEAT OVER. GM STATED THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER SEAT BELTS AND THERE WAS NO RECALL, BUT THEY MAY REIMBURSE HIM FOR THE SEAT BELT. *AK UPDATED 11/29/2005 - THE CONSUMER HAD NEVER USED THE CENTER SEAT BELT BEFORE. *NM UPDATED 11/29/2005 - THE CONSUMER STILL HAS THE OLD SEAT BELT IN HIS POSSESSION. THE PART NUMBER IS 88950971. *NM

ELECTRONIC PROBLEM WITH 4WD WAS SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED IN 2004, TRANSFER CASE FOR 4WD WAS REPLACED IN APRIL 2005, AND 4WD FAILED AGAIN DURING FIRST DAY TRYING TO USE IT DURING ICY CONDITIONS AFTER IT WAS "REPAIRED" IN APRIL. HAD TO DRIVE ON DANGEROUS, SLICK ROADS WITHOUT 4WD FROM FAIRBANKS TO PALMER, AK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN ALASKA WHERE WINTER DRIVING CAN BE VERY HAZARDOUS WITHOUT 4WD. HAVE HAD IT INTO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR LOUD SQUEAK UNDER VEHICLE WHEN MAKING TURNS OR GOING OVER BUMPS AT SLOW SPEEDS. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION BY DEALER. COULD NOT GET VEHICLE OUT OF "PARK". HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DISCONNECTED SOMETHING AND TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE WHATEVER THEY DID WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE PUT INTO "DRIVE" WITHOUT HAVING BRAKES ENGAGED! HAD TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS UNTIL THEY GOT REPLACEMENT PART. HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH CLIMATE CONTROL, WIND NOISE AROUND WINDOWS, AND MORE. NONE REPAIRED SATISFACTORILY. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE JACK THAT THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH IS INADEQUATE. THE JACK HAS TWO EXTENSION HANDLES, BUT THE EXTENSION HANDLES ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO BE TURNED WITHOUT GETTING UNDER THE VEHICLE. HAD A FLAT TIRE, AND WHEN THE CONTACT PUT THE JACK TOGETHER SHE REALIZED THE JACK HANDLES WERE NOT LONG ENOUGH. HER FATHER HAD TO CRAWL UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE TO USE THE HANDLE. CALLED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE JACK HANDLES ,AND THEY STATED THE JACK SHOULD BE EFFICIENT, AND IF A PERSON HAD TO GET UNDER THE VEHICLE, HE WOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE GAS TANK ON 2003 GMC ENVOY HAD A LEAK IN IT WHERE THE SPOUT WENT INTO THE TANK. HE NOTICED THIS WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE GAS TANK. THE CONTACT FELT GMC SHOULD PAY THE EXPENSES. *AK *NM

THERE IS A FUELING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAPPENS REGULARLY ENOUGH (30% TO 40% OF THE TIME) TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD OR CAUSE SERIOUS PHYSICAL HAZARD TO THE OPERATOR. THE VEHICLE ON OCCASION WILL NOT ACCEPT GAS INTO THE FUEL TANK AND THEN WILL IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY AND THEN BACK UP AND SPLASH FUEL OUT ONTO THE OPERATOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE. IT MAY TAKE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE TANK WILL ACCEPT THE FUEL, ALL THE WHILE SPLASHING FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER ON EACH ATTEMPT. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE TANK, AS IT APPROACHES FULL, WILL JUST SPLASH GAS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY INDICATION WITHOUT CUTTING OFF THE GAS PUMP FILL HOSE AS IT NORMALLY WOULD. THIS CONDITION CAN BE A SERIOUS PHYSICAL AND HEALTH HAZARD TO THE OPERATOR SINCE GAS GETS ON THE SKIN AND THE CLOTHS OF THE OPERATOR, CAUSING A BURNING SENSATION AND SUBJECTING THE OPERATOR TO OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS. THE FUEL SPILL CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND FIRE HAZARD. A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS HAVE BEEN TRIED WITH THE SAME RESULTS DURING FUELING. THIS WOULD RULE OUT A PROBLEM WITH ONE PUMP OR FILLING STATION CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS EVEN OCCURRED IN DIFFERENT CITIES. *JB

CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER VEHICLE PROPERLY. *TS THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. *JB

A PERSISTENT HIGH PITCHED RATTLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEM. AFTER MONTHS OF SEARCHING BY ACCIDENT DISCOVERED IT WAS THE FRONT HOOD LATCH. GREASED IT AND PROBLEM HAS SUBSIDED. NEIGHBOR WITH 2003 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

DT: CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHEN THE CAR SITS IN THE HEAT OR SUN THE CONTACT CANNOT OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP TWICE FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED.*AK

WE PAID 30.000 THIS GMC ENVOY BECAUSE WE WANTED A CAR THAT WOULD RUN AND THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER SAID WE SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO PAY FOR UPKEEP AND MINOR REPAIRS. THAT IS A JOKE IF YOU BUY A GMC (PART NUMBER 26089516). *NM

DT: 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE GAS TANK CRACKED WHERE THE HOSE WAS CONNECTED TO THE GAS TANK. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY SAID NOT TO FILL UP MORE THAN HALF WAY. THE FUMES COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. DEALER HAD TO ORDER THE TANK. CALLED MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.*AK *JB

DT: WHILE DRIVING AT 35-40 MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE STEERING WAS NOT OPERATING . THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS DONE AND THE RESULT SHOWED THE NEED TO DO AN UPDATE OF SOFTWARE FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ( ECM) AND THE POWER TRAIN, IN GENERAL. THEY PERFORMED THE REPAIRS. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED THE WEEK BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. *NM

DT: AFTER THE OWNER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES FELT BUMPY. THE OWNER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. THEN, THE BACK ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT. THE OWNER DESCRIBES THEM AS A GRABBING FEELING, THE VEHICLE PHYSICALLY MOVES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. WHEN THE BACK RIGHT ROTOR WAS INSPECTED THERE WERE GROOVES. THE PAD HAD EATEN INTO THE ROTOR ON THE REAR AND FRONT. ALL THE BRAKES RUSTED. *AK *JB

FAULTY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT THAT WILL NOT RELEASE TO FASTEN. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AND THE REPAIR PERSON SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, AND THAT IT JUST WAS CATCHING ON SOMETHING. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS VERY HARD TO OPEN THE REPAIR PERSON AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP BROKE THE HANDLE TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE REPAIR SHOP DID FIX THE HANDLE FOR FREE, HOWEVER THE DOOR REMAINS STILL VERY HARD TO OPEN AND I WOULD NOT USE THIS PARTICULAR DOOR. AFTER A WHILE THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND THE DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THE BACK WINDOW WOULD NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP AND THE ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. I AM NOT SURE WHAT MONTH THE FIRST INCIDENCE TOOK PLACE, BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED TO HAPPEN QUICKLY AFTERWARDS.*JB

2003 ENVOY SLE HATCH DOOR LIFT SYSTEM FAILED.*MR AS A RESULT THE HATCH WAS EXTREMELY HEAVY AND HARD TO OPEN. *NM

DRIVER SEAT CAN'T BE PRESET FOR DRIVER 1 OR 2. OFTEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE SEAT GOES ALL THE WAY UP UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. AT OTHER TIMES THE SEAT REMAINS SO FAR BACK THAT NOBODY CAN REACH THE GAS/BRAKE PEDAL. EACH TIME ANYONE DRIVES THE VEHICLE THE SEAT MUST BE RESET OR READJUSTED. GMC HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A REPAIR FACILITY MANY TIMES BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS UP, BUT THE REPAIR CENTER SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA OR REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JB

SINCE WE HAVE THIS VEHICLE THE HEATING SYSTEM FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY HAD THE DEALER AND A G.M. REPRESENTATIVE TRY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THEIR ATTEMPTS THE SYSTEM STILL DOESN'T OPERATE CORRECTLY AND NOW I AM LEFT WITH A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM THAT ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. I AM HEARING FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT KNOW WHO HAVE THIS VEHICLE AND THE CHEVROLET VERSION THE TRAILBLAZER THAT THEY HAVE VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IN THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCES NOT HAVING HEAT/DEFROSTER WORKING PROPERLY COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD, YET THIS FAILS TO BECOME A RECALL OR ALERT TO DRIVERS. AS FAR AS THE A/C PROBLEMS MY SON ACTUALLY GOT HEAT STROKE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR ON A VERY HOT DAY DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONLY VENT WINDOWS OPEN IN THIS AREA AND UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT BECOMES VERY HOT IN THE THIRD ROW OF SEATS IN THIS VEHICLE IF THE AIR IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. G.M. SHOULD FIX THESE VEHICLES! I HAVE REPORTED MY PROBLEMS TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND I AM HOPING TO RETURN THIS VEHICLE TO G.M. EARLY. THIS CAR HAS ALSO HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO. I FEEL THAT SINCE THEY TRIED TO FIX THE HEATER THEY HAVE SCREWED UP SOMETHING ELSE IN THE ELECTRIC SINCE THEY HAD TO REGROUND THE WHOLE SYSTEM AND THIS GROUND HAS ALREADY HAD TO BE REGROUND DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT DISENGAGED ITSELF FROM THE VEHICLE, DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A SAFE REPAIR TO ME. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 2-WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY FUEL TANK HAD A LEAK. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS CRACKED AT THE FILLER NECK AT THE TANK. THE TANK HAD BEEN LEAKING FUEL AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN RESEARCHING THIS ON NHTSA, IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER CONSUMERS. *NM

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY OUTSIDE MIRRORS MOVING WILDLY UPON STARTING OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH MY OUTSIDE MIRRORS. IT STARTED IN THE FALL OF 2004, WITH THE PASSENGER MIRROR MOVING WILDLY (I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED IT HAD LOST ITS "PROGRAM"). IT WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN STARTED AGAIN. NOW THE DRIVER MIRROR IS DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED "MIRROR MOTORS" NEED REPLACED FOR ABOUT $314. IN RESEARCHING THIS ON NHTSA, IT APPEARS OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *NM

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING, MY DAUGHTER ATTEMPTED TO PUT DOWN THE WINDOW IN THE BACK SEAT BUT FOUND IT WAS "JAMMED"...IT WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN RESEARCHING THE NHTSA SITE, IT APPEARS THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. *NM

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF PARKING LOT, THE BACK LET DOOR OPENED, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS LOCKED. I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR.

THE ROTORS ON OUR 2003 GMC ENVOY COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY COULD NOT EVEN BE TURNED, 13 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF THE BRAKE PADS STILL UNUSED. WE HAD TO REPLACE ALL ROTORS AND PADS, AS THE ROTORS SCORED THE PADS.

I OWN A 2003 ENVOY SLE. WE HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE VIBRATING AND MAKING ENGINE NOISE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT SERVICE DEPARTMENTS (REPEATED TIMES). ONE FINALLY RECOGNIZED THAT THE NOISE EXISTED. AFTER THEY DROVE TWO OTHER ENVOYS THEY DETERMINED THAT THE NOISE WAS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE. THE SOUND IS LIKE A BUBBLING METALLIC SOUND THAT CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE VEHICLE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO LIVE WITH IT.

MY MOTHER PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE USING THE ASSISTANCE HANDLE IN 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE ASSISTANCE HANDLE BROKE OFF INJURING (SLIGHT LIGAMENT TEAR) TO MY MOTHER (76 YEARS OLD). SURGERY PROBABLE. TAKEN TO DEALER AND ASSISTANCE HANDLE REPLACED. CALLED [XXX] AT GM TO FILE COMPLAINT ON THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 2005--WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT--HAVEN'T HEARD A THING. [XXX]NUMBER IS [XXX].

I LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE IT IS HOT AND DRY. I WAS COMING HOME FROM THE MALL WITH MY 2 CHILDREN ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE BLOW OUT. I WAS STRANDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY FOR AN HOUR WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN. MY VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW - 2003 GMC ENVOY XL AND THERE IS ONLY 38,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME TO CHANGE OUT THE TIRE THEY INDICATED THAT IT WAS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A MICHELIN TIRE TO BLOW THE RADIALS LIKE IT DID. I HAVE MODEL P245/65R17. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE AVAILABLE, BUT NOW AM HAVING TO HAVE BOTH REAR TIRES REPLACED SO THEY WEAR EVENLY AND I SEE THAT SOME MODELS SIMILAR TO MINE 245/75R16 HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE TIRE YET, BECAUSE I AM HOPEING SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT TO THE PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I SHOULD HAVE ALL THE TIRES REPLACED NOT JUST THE REAR ONES.

CONSUMER STATES: HAVE A RECALL FOR TAIL LAMPS/STOP LAMPS BOTTOM LIGHTS , THEY WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER, THE TOP LAMPS ARE BAD ALSO. IT WAS INTERMITTENT SOMETIMES THE TOP LAMP WOULD WORK AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD NOT. *NM

OUR ENVOY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN OUR ENVOY WOULD NOT GO PAST SECOND GEAR. WE TOOK TO GMC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY STATED THAT THE UPPER COOLANT LINE HAD BEEN TOUCHING CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CAUSED ALL FLUID TO LEAK OUT CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL . WE SAW NO FLUIDS IN DRIVEWAY OR SMELLED ANY STRANGE ODORS.

INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSED BY IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES. IN APRIL 2004 AT 15,000 MILES AND AGAIN IN APRIL 2005 AT 33,000 MILES, THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2003 ENVOY XL FAILED. THE SYMPTOMS IN EACH CASE WERE ABS/BRAKE/TRACTION LIGHTS STAYING ON, NO HVAC FAN, AND NO CRUISE CONTROL. THE SYMPTOMS OCCURRED ONCE EVERY DOZEN STARTS, AND FINALLY REACHED A HARD FAIL.*AK IN EACH CASE, THE DEALER MECHANIC IDENTIFIED CODES SET FOR MULTIPLE SYSTEMS AND REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. WITH THE MOST RECENT FAILURE, THE MECHANIC COMMENTED THAT THEY REPLACE QUITE A FEW OF THESE SWITCHES.

LOWER BALL JOINTS WORN. *AK

DRIVER APPLIED THE TURN SIGNAL AND THE TURN SIGNAL FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WOULD COME AND OFF ON ITS OWN. DRIVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, LETTING IT WARM, THE CONSUMER ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH , THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY DO 10 MPH.

THE 2003 ENVOY WE PURCHASED GAVE US NUMEROUS PROBLEMS, INCLUDING A NUMBER OF THE ONES OTHER OWNERS MENTIONED HERE, LIKE THE GLASS LIFTGATE THAT DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, BUT ESPECIALLY THE OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS THAT MOVE ON THEIR OWN NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY SERVICE TECHNICIANS. THEY DO NOT STAY IN THE POSITION WE SET THEM IN, AND THE FUEL TANK LEAKING IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WELL AS INHALING FREON BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTIONING A/C SYSTEM. WHY IS GMC DOING NOTHING TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS? I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS SEEING THAT SO MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET SOME HELP?*AK

THE CONSUMER SMELLED GAS, TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND THE FUEL RAIL WAS REPLACED. LATER GAS WAS SMELLED AGAIN, THERE WAS A VAPOR EMISSION LEAK. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL TANK IS BEING REPLACED TWICE. *NM

SAFETY PROBLEM REGARDING CONTROL OF DRIVER'S REAR VIEW MIRROR ON 2003 GMC ENVOY. *BF THERE HAD BEEN A STRANGE COMBINATION OF ELECTRICAL EVENTS CENTERED AROUND THE ACCESSORIES IN THE LEFT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE LEFT DOOR MIRROR. OTHER PROBLEMS: THE SEAT WOULD MOVE ERRATICALLY WHEN STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DID NOT LOCK IN SYNC WITH THE OTHERS, THE LOCKS WOULD CLICK 4 TIMES AFTER DRIVING ONE MILE, AND THE CONTROL BUTTON LIGHTS ON THE DRIVERS ARM REST WAS COMING OFF. *SC *JB

THE FIRST TIME THE WIND NOISE BECAME SUCH AN ISSUE IS WHEN THE CAR HAD ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE WITH A STIFF CROSS WIND. THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD THAT WHEN I TRIED TO USE THE ONSTAR TO CALL THE DEALER AND HAVE HIM LISTEN TO THE NOISE, THE ONSTAR KEPT SAYING SLOWER PLEASE, SLOWER PLEASE EVEN THOUGH I WASNT YET SPEAKING. IT WAS THE WIND THE ONSTAR WAS LISTENING TO. I HAVE VISITED THE DEALER IN MOOREHEAD SEVERAL TIMES AND THE GMC PLACE IN MINOT TO TRY TO STOP THE NOISE AND THE HAVE REDUCED THE WIND NOISE BUT I STILL GET AN UNACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF NOISE. I HAVE TO TAKE A VACATION DAY TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER 90 MILES AWAY AND THEN EVEN THO I KNOW THEY ARE TRYING, THEY JUST SEEM TO MOVE THE NOISE AROUND. A CAR THAT WINDOWS FOR ALMOST 40K SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS QUIET AS MY DAUGHTER 6 YEAR OLD NEON. WOULDN'T YOU SAY? I BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL NEVER BE QUIET UNLESS YOU ARE TRAVELING LESS THAN 30 MPH DOWN THE ROAD AND WITH THE WIND. I HAVE VISITED THE DEALER SHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE REPLACED WINDO SEALS AND LINERS AS WELL AS BENDING THE DOORS BUT I AM NOT SATISFIED. THEY SAY I AM AN ISOLATED COMPLAINT BUT IN THE SMALL TOWN I LIVE IN THERE IS ONLY ONE OTHER 2003 ENVOY AND THE OWNER SAYS HER NOISE IS EVEN WORSE.

I FOUND THIS TO BE UNTRUE AS CONVERSATIONS WITH MANY OWNERS OF THE GMC ENVOY AND CHEV. TRAILBLAZER HAVE SEEN THE SAME THING.

I HAD SPOKEN WITH 2 OF MY CO-WORKERS AND THEY HAD A SIMILAR COMPLAINT, BUT DID NOT PURSUE IT. NOW MY CRUISE CONTROL HAS GONE OUT AND MAY VECHILE ONLY HAVE 16,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVEN'T USE D IT. THE WAY I FOUND OUT IT WAS NOT WORKING WAS WE WERE TAKING A TRIP AND THE CRUISE WOULD NOT WORK. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR AND I AM DREADING IT WILL BE A ORDEAL. SINCE I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN TO THE CHEVROLET PLACE INSTEAD OF THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM BECAUSE OF THE POOR SERVICE.*AK

THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION TO EVEN CONTACT THIS GUY. "THEY DON'T HAVE TO". THEN WHEN I COMPLAINED THAT THIS WAS "UNEXCEPTABLE" AND ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR THE SUPERVISOR HUNG UP ON ME!!! I WAS NOT VERY SUPRISED TO SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

COMPRESSOR FOR AUTOMATIC LOAD-LEVELING REAR SUSPENSION CYCLES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS. IF NOT NOTICED, COMPRESSOR WILL CONTINUE TO CYCLE ON AND OFF AND RUN DOWN THE BATTERY. USUALLY CAN HEAR A "PUFF" OF AIR BEING RELEASED FROM THE SYSTEM RIGHT BEFORE THE COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON. THE COMPRESSOR CAN STAY ON FOR AS LITTLE AS SEVERAL SECONDS OR FOR UP TO A FEW MINUTES. THE CYCLE CAN LAST FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE AS LITTLE AS 5 MINUTES OR UP TO A FEW DAYS SO THAT THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN IF LEFT AT AN AIRPORT WHILE ON VACATION, FOR EXAMPLE. THE ONLY WAY TO "BREAK" THE CYCLE IS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR TURN THE CAR ON AND THEN TURN IT OFF AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS. TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. BUT, WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE COMPRESSOR SEEMS TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS, I HAVE 5,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS PURCHASED 2/2003. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT FARRISH GMC / PONTIAC YESTERDAY (3RD TIME) AND IT IS STILL THERE TODAY. AS OF YET, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS TO GUIDE THEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE SYSTEM OR ITS COMPONENTS TO LOOK FOR LEAKS OR BROKEN PARTS. THEY'VE ONLY DONE A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH FOUND NOTHING WRONG. HOWEVER, SERVICE CONSULTANTS AT THE DEALERSHIP HAVE WITNESSED THE EVENT HAPPENING AND THE COMPRESSOR TURNING ON AND OFF...WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OFF. AGAIN, I NEED TO STRESS THAT THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND NOT IN USE. THE COMPRESSOR SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO TURN ITSELF ON IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE WAS 7/12/2003, THE SECOND TIME ON 8/29/2003 AND THEN AGAIN FOR A THIRD TIME ON 10/20/2003. *LA

I FEEL WITH WINTER COMING, THIS ISSUE HAS NOW TURNED INTO A SAFETY ISSUE AS WE WILL USE THIS VEHICLE DAILY TO TAKE OUR SON TO DAYCARE AND GO TO WORK. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INPUT YOU COULD ASSIST ME WITH AS I STRONGLY FEEL THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPLACED.

2003 GMC ENVOY HIGH ENGINE IDLE WHEN SLOWING TO STOP ENGINE WILL NOT RETURN TO IDLE UNTIL ALMOST AT A STOP. WHEN SLOWING IF YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR WILL CONTINUE ON A FLAT ROAD AT 30TO 35 MPH.GM ANSWER TO THIS POINT IS THAT THEY ALL DO IT. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY CONCERN AND ON SLIPERY ROAD CCOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SKID NOT TO MENTION UNUSUAL BRAKE WEAR AND FUEL CONSUMPTION. THAKS SAM MCNEIL. *AK

RIGHT REAR DOOR OPENED WITHOUT WARNING AT THE GAS STATION WHILE PULLING OUT, CAUSING CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER TO FALL OUT OF THE TRUCK AND BREAKING HER RIGHT HAND. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY ENGINE CHECK LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. *AK

WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE W/ ENGINE OFF. I CAME AROUND THE CORNER & HEARD WATER RUNNING. MY GMC 2003 ENVOY'S FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE SPRAYING SPONTANEOUSLY & WIPERS WERE RUNNING. ENGINE WAS MAKING A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE. BACKED VEHICLE OUT OF GARGAGE & PULLED OUT FUSE. SPRAY STOPPED, BUT WIPERS STILL PROCEEDED TO GO. ENGINE COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE! DEALER REPLACED WIPER MOTOR STATING IT HAD BEEN FLOODED W/ WATER. PREVIOUSLY TO THIS EVENT, THE FRONT WIPERS WOULD GO OFF & ON EVEN WHILE SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. ALSO, BACK WIPERS STOPPED WORKING & HAD BACK WIPER MOTOR REPLACED TOO.*AK

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT-BELT WOULD LOCK-UP IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION. DRIVER IS UNABLE TO PULL THE SEAT-BELT FROM THE "LOCKED" POSITION. MUST WAIT A FEW SECONDS/MINUTES BEFORE SEAT-BELT WILL RELEASE ITSELF SO THAT THE DRIVER CAN PUT IT ON. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT AT (WAGNER-BUICK GMC IN BELLEVILLE, IL) REPLACED THE SEAT-BELT AT 5XXX MILES AND NOW THEY'VE PUT IN A SECOND ONE AT 82XX MILES TODAY (8/11/03). *NLM

WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2003 GMC ENVOY WITH A THIRD ROW OF SEATS. IN THE MANUAL IT INDICATES THAT THERE ARE SEAT BELT ADJUSTERS ON THE BACK OF THE SEATS TO SHORTEN THE HEIGHT AT WHICH THE SEATBELT COMES ACROSS THE PASSENGER. THESE ADJUSTERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN OUR CAR. WE NOTICED THIS ISSUE WHEN A CHILD SAT IN THE BACK SEAT (ONE OF THE REASONS FOR PURCHASING A 7 PASSENGER VEHICLE) AND THE SEATBELT CAME ACROSS THEIR FACE. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT WE WERE CORRECT THE ADJUSTERS WERE NOT INSTALLED (A MANUFACTURER'S DEFAULT), BUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO INSTALL THEM AT THIS POINT. WE NOW HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR THAT WE CANNOT USE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WE STRONGLY CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. I KNOW OF A COUPLE OF OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IF I CHILD (OR EVEN AN ADULT) WERE TO SIT IN THOSE SEATS WITHOUT ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT BELT IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.*AK

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKED, WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND THE SEAT BELT LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED ON JULY 1, 2003. *AK *CB *NLM

I READ AN ARTICLE TODAY IN THE DETROIT FREE PRESS WHICH HAS PROMPTED ME TO WRITE YOU REGARDING HIDDEN LAMPS. MY COMPLAINT IS GENERAL, IN THAT THE AMOUNT OF "DAZZLE" FROM THE SCATTERED LIGHT IS GREATLY OBJECTIONABLE, AND MUST BE CONTROLLED. "HEAD-ON" VIEWING OS ACCEPTABLE, BUT SLIGHT OFF-ANGLE IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND PAINFUL FROM THESE LAMPS. I WORK FOR A MAJOR AUTO COMPANY, AND HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE IN LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY. I WOULD PREFER IF NHTSA MIGRATE TO EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS (CUT-OFF LINES) AND ENFORCE SOME TYPE OF ANTI-DAZZLE REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE LAMPS. ALTHOUGH ALLOWING A "WASH" IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, THE SIDE SCATTER I BELIEVE IS MORE DANGEROUS, POSSIBLE CAUSING OR RELATING TO ONCOMING DRIVER IRRITATION, ROAD RAGE, OR POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS. *AK

THE CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT JACK HANDLE IS TOO SHORT, CAUSING THE CONSUMERS BODY TO BE ALMOST UNDER THE VEHICLE. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES ON THE 2003 ENVOY. *MR THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED THE BRAKE DID NOT HOLD AND THE VEHICLE HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF HIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE CONTROL MODULE BUT IT COULD NOT BE REPROGRAMMED. THE TECHNICIAN WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WAS A DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY OPERATED WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. *SCC *NLM

CONSUMER STATED THAT REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN TRYING TO OPEN IT. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SPEEDOMETER LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. *AK

WITH ABOUT 1100 MILES ON MY BRAND NEW CAR , THE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS PURCHASE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES FAILED AND CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *NLM. *AK PH *JB

WIND NOISE COMING THROUGH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS. MOLDING WAS REPLACED AND NOISE WASN'T REDUCED. DEALER STATED, GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT THE MIRRORS ARE CAUSING WIND TO BE REDIRECTED TO THE WINDOW. THEREFORE WIND IS COMING THROUGH WHERE THE GLASS GOES INSIDE THE DOOR. NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS CAR, CAN'T EVEN DRIVE WITH THE RADIO TURNED DOWN. ALSO THE LOW-PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT WAS REPLACED, AFTER A HALF-POUND OF FREON WAS REQUIRED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES!!! *JB

WIND NOISE COMING FROM AROUND THE DRIVERS DOOR,HAS BEEN INTO THE SERVICE SHOP ON 2 OCCASIONS AND THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS ACCORDING TO THE DEALER,I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE NOISE LIKE THIS PLEASE INVESTIGATE. GM SHOULD COME OUT WITH AN OVER SIZE SEAL OR BETTER ADJUSTMENTS ON THEIR DOORS. *NLM

MY 2003 GMC ENVOY WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK AT ALL. *NLM

PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE EQUIPMENT ON 2003 ENVOY. *MR WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH CONSUMER PUT FOOT ON BRAKES AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP CAUSE VEHICLE TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT. *CB

WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES ON IT THE CHECK FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. WHE HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. I ASKED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT AS LONG AS IT WAS RUNNING FINE THE WOULD PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AT MY 3,000 MILE CHECKUP. A FEW WEEKS LATER I STARTED HEARING A RUBBING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD SWICHED IT FROM 2 WD TO 4WD HIGH AND THE NOISE WAS GONE. IT WAS NOT. THE NEXT DAY I SWITCHED IT INTO AWD AND THERE WAS NO NOISE. THAT AFTERNOON THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP ON ME WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD US THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTAL WAS LITTERALY FALLING APART AND HAVE NOW SAID THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE. THE MILAGE ON OUR ENVOY IS 1263. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM NOT HAPPY. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE SO I WOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH. *AK

ONE WEEK AGO I PURCHASED A 2003 ENVOY SLE 4WD, IT HAS 200 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY AND NOTICED UPON DELIVERY THAT A MOLDING AROUND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS CROOKED. AND 2 DAYS AGO I NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE OF FRESH OIL UNDER MY VEHICLE, AND MY OIL LIGHT WENT ON THIS MORNING. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONE WEEK AND I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL OVERLY COMFORTABLE ABOUT MY PURCHASE. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING MPH AND WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKES PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHICH CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE RESULTING INTO A CRASH. *AK

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL WITH LESS THAN 8,000 MILES ON IT. ON MAY 26, 2003 WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE FRONT WIPERS QUIT. IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, I COULD SEE NOTHING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TT

ON A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL (VEHICLE MILEAGE APPROX. 8900 MILES), THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON WHEN THE SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED; THE FIRST WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2002. AT THAT TIME, THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR.

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL AND WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEAR A LOT OF WIND NOISE, WHILE THE WINDOWS ARE CLOSED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. *JB

GMC ENVOY, 2003. COMPLAINT: REAR CENTER SEAT/SHOULDER BELT LOCKS UP 100% OF THE TIME. BECAUSE OF THIS ANYONE WEARING IT IS "PINNED" AGAINST THE SEAT. THAT IS, THERE IS NO MOVEMENT ALLOWED - YOU CANNOT LEAN FOREWARD. THIS SITUATION MAKES THE BACK CENTER POSITION BELT UN-USABLE. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER, (AND THEY AGREE THAT IT IS UN-WEARABLE), BUT SAY THAT THERE IS NO FIX. THEY ALSO SHOWED ME THAT THE SAME SITUATION CAN BE FOUND ON OTHER ENVOYS ON THEIR LOT. I FREQUENTLY CARRY 5 PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE IT'S DANGERIOUS HAVE ONE OF THE SEATING POSITONS WITH AN UN-WEARABLE SEAT/SHOULDER BELT.

THERE WAS A WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. DEALER HASN'T CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *JB

PURCHASED A 2003 ENVOY XL ON 27 DEC 02 - SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN TO THE GARAGE TWO TIMES - NO CLAMP ON ONE END OF THE POWER STEERING LINE (LUCKILY IT BLEW OFF WHILE STILL IN OUR DRIVE WAY - GOD HELP US IF IT HAD LET LOOSE AT HIGH SPEED ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY) SECOND TIME WAS FOR A BAD CAM SENSOR. AND WE HAVEN'T MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT YET. FIRST CASS NUMBER FROM GMC IS S1-68773551 - SECOND CASE NUMBER I DON'T HAVE YET AS I JUST REPORTED IT THIS MORNING. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE NO TRUST IN THIS CAR NOW - WHAT ELSE WILL GO WRONG NEXT.

WHILE DRIVING FRONT SEAT BELTS GIVE TOO MUCH ATTENTION CROSS THE CHEST. TS. *AK

I BOUGHT A 2003 ENVOY XL 11 DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. WE WENT INTO A RESTAURANT, CAME BACK OUT AFTER EATING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS 150 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT AND HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR, GET A RENTAL (WHICH WAS PAID FOR), AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD NEVER HAD HAPPEN BEFORE. I TOLD THE DEALER I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT CAR, BUT WAS TOLD THIS WAS A UNHEARD OF PROBLEM.

NON FUNCTIONAL WIPER MOTOR THAT THE DEALERSHIP (TOBY WELLS, PINEHURST, NC) AS WELL AS OTHER LOCAL GM DEALERS (SILVESTRY, LAURINBURG, AND JOE BROWN, ROCKINGHAM) HAVE TOLD ME IS KNOWN BY GM, AND COMMON PROBLEM. EVEN WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, IT STILL TOOK ALMOST 2 WEEKS BEFORE I COULD GET THE PROBLEM REPAIRED

WAS DRIVING APPROX. 60 MPH WHEN A SEMI DECIDED TO MOVE INTO MY LANE. I ASSUMED I WAS IN HIS BLIND SPOT SO I SPED UP TO BE IN FRONT OF HIM. WHEN HIS FRONT STARTED MOVING INTO MY LANE I MOVED OVER A TINY BIT ONTO THE BURM. I THEN TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT TO GET BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. JUST THEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED RESPONDING TO THE WHEELS AS THEY BEGAN SMALL BACK AND FORTH (LEFT AND RIGHT) JERKS. THE JERKS (WHEELS) BECAME LARGER, SWIRVING THE ENVOY BACK AND FORTH (LEFT AND RIGHT) WITHIN THE LANE. THIS MOVEMENT INCREASED TO WHERE THE CAR BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL ACCROSS ALL LANES OF THE FREEWAY, LUCKELY STOPPING ALL BUSY FREEWAY TRAFFIC AROUND ME. THE WHEELS SEEMED TO BE SLIDING AROUND AS IF ON A SHEET OF ICE. I DID MY BEST TO CONTROL THE WHEEL TO AVOID GOING INTO THE DITCH BECAUSE THE ENVOY WAS SWIRVING SO MUCH IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE TIPPED OVER. THE ENVOY DID AT LEAST 5 COMPLETE DONUTS WHILE THE SEMI WAS HEADING TOWARDS ME. THE ENVOY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. I OPENED MY DOOR AND WAVED TO THE SEMI DRIVER. HE WAVED BACK TO TELL ME GOOD LUCK AND TO MOVE OUT OF THE BUSY FREEWAY IF I COULD. I PUT THE ENVOY IN "PARK" THEN IT STARTED BACK UP AND DROVE AWAY WITHOUT A SCRATCH ON IT. I BROUGHT THE ENVOY BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP "PRESTON" IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE 2ND OR 3RD INCIDENT OF THE SAME NATURE. THERE WAS A ENVOY IN THEIR PARKING LOT THAT HAD BEEN ONLY GOING 35MPH AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THE FACT THAT THIS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A FATALITY. I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS OVER. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT THERE IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER. I'M SURE YOUR EXPEDITING THIS MATTER WILL SAVE LIVES!*AK
