2003 GMC Envoy Complaint Log

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND GMC WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAY I HAVE TOO MANY MILES AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS NOW CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND THE WHOLE ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS IN FAILURE, I CAN'T START THE VEHICLE NOW AND THIS IS 2013. CHRONIC ONGOING PROBLEM THAT POSES MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES WITH SPEED, FUEL AND MUCH MORE. *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

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

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

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

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

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. I CAN BE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE SPEEDO WILL BE PEGGED AT 120MPH. OR WHEN IM DRIVING IT WONT MOVE AT ALL. SOMETIMES...I'LL START THE CAR, AND THE SPEED WILL BE SITTING AT 40 MPH. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3-4 MONTHS NOW. AND THE DEALERSHIP 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 THESE VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE A FUEL LEAK AT THE POINT WHERE THE FUEL FILLER HOSE ENTERS THE FUEL TANK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS. *TR

BOUGHT MY GMC IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR 2007. NEVER HAD TO USE THE 4X4. UNFORTUNATELY WITH 9 INCHES OF SNOW TRIED THE 4X4 FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT DID NOT WORK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE WAS NOT WORKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A 600 ESTIMATED SERVICE. *TR

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

DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL NO LONGER WORKS, AND SMELLS LIKE AN ELECTRIC FIRE. CHECK/REPLACED FUSE = OK. ALL OTHER DOORS WORKS WITHOUT A PROBLEM, AND REMOTE OPENS OTHER THREE DOORS. DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS FAULTY, AND CAR SMELLS OF ELECTRICAL FIRE. *TR I REMOVED THE FUSE, TO BE SAFE FOR RIGHT NOW.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE OIL WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

THEY REPLACED THE PUMP ASSEMBLY, INPUT DRUM SHAFT, PEREFEET SHIFT, CONVERTER, AND THE UJC. IN ADDITION, SHE SMELLED A FUEL ODOR WHEN ADDING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK. THE MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. THERE IS A DEFECT INVESTIGATION FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM, NHTSA ACTION# EA07009. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

2003 GMC ENVOY. FUEL LEAK. BEGAN SMELLING STRONG FUEL ODOR. PER SHOP, FUEL LEAK. RESULT: HAD TO REPLACE FUEL TANK / PUMP. OLD PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

ENTERING STRAIGHT STRETCH OF 2 LANE HWY.,I SWERVED TO MISS OBJECT IN MY LANE AND PART OF ADJACENT LANE. I COULD NOT STRAIGHTEN UP VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED AND STRUCK A TREE. THE ENGINE WAS OFF AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE. MY DOOR WAS DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE CUT OFF TO FREE MYSELF. THE ENVOY WAS TOTALED. MY WIFE'S HARNESS DID NOT HOLD AND SHE WAS FACING THE REAR BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS. THE SIDE AIR BAGS AND FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH NEW TIRES AND BRAKES. I WAS LIFE FLIGHTED, AND MY WIFE WAS CARRIED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE WE SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES. *TR

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

MY 2003 ENVOY WITH 68,000 WAS REAR ENDED. SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT I BEGAN TO HEAR A CLUNCKING NOISE WHEN STOPPING. AFTER I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED I WAS INFORMED THAT IT NO LONGER WOULD GO IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE SUNSHELL GEAR WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FINE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THE DEALER IS CLAIMING IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT AND THUS I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ESTIMATED $2,500 TO FIX! *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 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

VEHICLE COOLING FAN CLUTCH MAKING TICKING SOUNDS DUE TO THE "PULSING OF THE SOLENOID AS DESCRIBED IN THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN RELEASED BY GENERAL MOTORS (#05-06-06-004), WHICH SPECIFIES NOT TO REPLACE FAN CLUTCH, BUT REPROGRAM THE PCM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL COVERED BY GM, SINCE NO PARTS ARE BROKEN AND THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S SOFTWARE. CONSUMER CAN ONLY GET THIS FIXED BY GM DEALER. THIS EXPENSE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL BY GM SINCE IT INVOLVES ONLY THE DEFECTIVE COMPUTER PROGRAM. THE ARE NOT PARTS TO REPLACE, JUST A REPROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD START AFTER A FEW SECONDS. SHE ALSO NOTICED A GASEOUS ODOR AND A FUEL LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT A RUSTED FUEL MODULE CAUSED THE FAILURE AND HE REPLACED THE FUEL MODULE. THERE HAD BEEN NO OTHER OCCURRENCES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,417.

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

CAR DASH BLANK AT START, MIRRORS GO EVERY DIRECTION AND MUST RESET EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE. *TR

(2) FUEL TANK LEAKS AT FILLER TUBE (3) FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED. *JB

GMC DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN INTO RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V198000. MY CAR EXHIBITS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS IN THIS CAMPAIGN - WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURN SIGNAL HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AS WELL. THIS MAY CREATE UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS BY CONFUSING OTHER DRIVERS. GMC DEALERSHIP HAS REPORTED FAILED PART AS "FLASHER MODULE", WHICH IS EXACTLY THE PART ADDRESSED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN. IT SEEMS THAT FAULTY PART WAS INSTALLED IN MUCH LARGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES THEN GMC IS RECALLING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. GASOLINE FUMES ENTERED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS CORRODED THE MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 44,300. UPDATED 01-15-08. *KB UPDATED 12/12/07*JB

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.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 173,607 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, ROLLED OVER FIVE TIMES, AND LANDED ON THE FRONT END.

THE ROOF, REAR, SIDES, AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WERE CRUSHED COMPLETELY. HE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND HAS YET TO HEAR A RESPONSE. HE STATED THAT THE LIGAMENTS IN HIS SHOULDER AND NECK ARE TORN AND HE SUSTAINED MUSCLE DAMAGE IN HIS BACK. THE CONTACT IS TAKING A NUMBER OF MEDICATIONS DUE TO THE CRASH. THE POLICE AND MEDIVAC UNIT ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS WERE BADLY GLAZED AND SCORNED.

HAD TO PAY TO HAVE HOSE REPLACED. DON'T KNOW IF THE EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION AT 73K MILES WAS RELATED, BUT HAD TO PAY $2700 TO GET A NEW ONE INSTALLED. *TR

I HAD BEEN IN A FRONT END COLLISION BY A DRUNK DRIVER TURNING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 50 MPH, 5 MPH UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT IN A 2003 GMC ENVOY SLT. I HAVE JUST SPENT 1700.00 ON THE VEHICLE AS THERE HAD BEEN A SERVICE SOON LIGHT ON ABOUT A MONTH AGO. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY? I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH REPLACING MY AUTO WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURER DUE TO THE SITUATION. I AM WONDERING IF THERE HAVE BEEN RELATED ISSUES. AT PRESENT I AM ENCOUNTERING HEADACHES AND STIFFNESS WHICH I HOPE TO HAVE LOOKED AT BY MY FAMILY PHYSICIAN TOMORROW. MY PASSENGER HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME. *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. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE FUEL TANK. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL MILEAGE DECREASED DUE TO THE LEAK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AT THE COST OF $1,300. THE DEALER STATED THAT NO RECALLS WERE AVAILABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000. UPDATED 02-19-08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE TANK LEAK WAS DETECTED AND REPLACED BY A LOCAL DEALER @ RUSSEL'S AUTOMOTIVE. UPDATED 02/19/08 *TR

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 OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY AND 3 OF THE 4 POWER WINDOW MOTORS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. ONE WAS REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE OTHER 2 HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. EACH WINDOW COST WAS $580.00 FOR THE MOTOR AND LABOR. I THINK THAT THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

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.
