2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. THE BRAKE LIGHT IN THE REAR WINDOW FEELS OUT OF POSITION AND THIS OCCURRED OFTEN ON THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE. THE SAFETY RISK WAS EVIDENT WHEN THE CONTACT FAILED TO PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE BROKEN BRAKE LIGHT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

2002 GMC ENVOY XL HAS A PROBLEM WHEN I FILL WITH GAS IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF BUT OVERFLOWS ONTO THE PAVEMENT UNDERNEATH THE CAR. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN LEAKING. THIS LEAK ULTIMATELY LEAD TO GASOLINE POURING ALL OVER THE ROAD. ONE QUARTER OF A TANK OF FUEL SPILLED FROM THE TANK IN APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER MILE. THERE EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE. I ENDED UP WALKING HOME. *TR

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY XLT SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A CRACKED FUEL TANK. DEALER SHOWED ME WHERE THE FUEL WAS LEAKING IT WAS LEAKING ON A WELD THAT ATTACHES THE FILLER HOSE TO THE FUEL TANK. THIS CERTAINLY ISN'T A WEARABLE PART AND IT DOESN'T RECEIVE MUCH CORROSION DUE TO BEING A FLORIDA CAR. THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND MANY VEHICLE OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK THAT A FUEL LEAK MAY LEAD TO EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ALL MOTOR VEHICLE OWNERS. I UNDERSTAND AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN RAISED AND CLOSED. IT IS UNFAIR THAT GM MANUFACTURES A FUEL TANK THAT COULD BE A RISK TO ITS CONSUMERS. THIS CASE NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AND REOPENED. *TR

AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT AT A NORMAL PACE AND REACHING A SPEED OF ALMOST 50MPH THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND A RRRRR SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW AS THE RPM'S WENT UP, ALL FORWARD DRIVE WAS GONE. WE ALMOST GOT REARENDED... THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM OR WAS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM ,IT JUST BROKE..DEALER SAYS NEED NEW TRANSMISSION.. APPARENTLY GM HAS A SUN GEAR ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION.. *TR

2002 GMC ENVOY SLT. ENGINE STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART FOR ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 30 MINUTES. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE PAST 4 YEARS. 4 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE ON A SURFACE ROAD. THIS TIME I WAS WITH MY WIFE AND 11 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO A SAFE LOCATION. I ENDED UP IN THE LEFT SHOULDER IN NEXT TO THE FAST LANE WITH ONLY ABOUT A FOOT OF SPACE TO MY RIGHT WHERE THE CARS WERE WHIZZING BY. I CANNOT TELL YOU THE TERROR THAT I FELT, AS MY DAUGHTER WAS IN HER CHILD CAR SEAT ON THAT SIDE AS THE CARS PASSED HONKING. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE READ MANY INTERNET POSTINGS AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS OFTEN WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, YET WHENEVER I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL I GET IS: NO CODES ARE DISPLAYED, WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, OR THEY START THROWING PARTS AT IT. SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED A FUEL PUMP AND A CRANK ANGLE SENSOR, HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY DESCRIPTION IS CLEAR. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS NORMAL, VOLTAGE IS NORMAL, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE CAN BE HOT, WARM OR COLD, IT CAN BE DAY OR NIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED IN ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS. WHAT IS WORSE IS THAT I CANNOT RESTART THE ENGINE FOR AROUND 20-30 MINUTES, PRESUMABLY THERE IS SOME SORT OF RESET ON THE COMPUTER ECM/PCM THAT OCCURS THAT GRANTS ME THE RIGHT TO NOW DRIVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY DAUGHTER, MY WIFE OR I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. I HAVE NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE EXCEPT TO THE DEALER BUT NOW THAT I HAVE A BABY, I AM LIVID. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY EVEN WITHOUT THE POWER ASSISTED BRAKES OR STEERING. I VERY MUCH WORRY ABOUT LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVERS SUCH AS MY WIFE WHO IS FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY AND HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVING FOR TWO YEARS. IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING WE WOULD HAVE. *TR

I OWN A 2002 GMC ENVOY BOUGHT USED AND IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE SINCE I BOUGHT IT THANKFULLY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW THEY SAY THE MAIN FUSE BLOCK HAS GONE BAD, HOW I COULDN'T GUESS, AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IS THIS NOT AN ELECTRICAL HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BEFORE SOMETHING DRASTIC HAPPENS, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO CONSIDERING EVERYTHING THAT HAS GONE WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE! *TR

2002 GMC ENVOY COOLING FAN CLUTCH . GMC NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEMS . FOR YEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. TIME FOR GMC TO TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER!! *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2002 GMC ENVOY ONTO A LOCAL EXPRESSWAY WHEN SHE TRIED TO ACCELERATE, SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE/TRANNY AREA, THEN NOTICED HIGH RPMS AND THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING, SHE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. I CAME TO HER LOCATION AND NOTICED LOSS OF REVERSE AND A "WHINE" COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER, THAT SAME DAY IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE SUN SHELL. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE, I WILL BE PURSING THIS FURTHER WITH GM. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE HEADED SOUTHBOUND ON 685 IN ROUND ROCK, TX IN OUR 2002 GMC ENVOY AT APPROX. 9:35 PM WHEN A DRIVER IN A MINI VAN RAN A RED LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF 685 AND GATTIS SCHOOL RD. OUR VEHICLE STRUCK THEM IN THE REAR PASSENGER QUADRANT. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 60 MPH AT THIS INTERSECTION AND WE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO BRAKE. EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE WAS CRUSHED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY WIFE, WHO IS IN THE HABIT OF WEARING HER SEATBELT (ALTHOUGH WE STILL CANNOT CONFIRM ONE WAY OR THE OTHER) STRUCK THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WITH HER HEAD WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO BREAK A HOLE IN THE WINDSHIELD WHERE IT WAS ATTACHED AND BREAK THE WINDSHIELD AROUND IT. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL WITH A CONCUSSION AND HAD FOR A TIME GONE INCOHERENT AND UNRESPONSIVE WITH SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS. SHE HAS HAD DAILY HEADACHES SINCE WITH SOME EXTREMELY SEVERE. SHE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE SEVERE CONTUSIONS DOWN HER LEFT SIDE, PARTICULARLY IN HER UPPER LEFT THIGH WITH A LARGE HEMOTOMA THAT IS STILL GIVING HER PROBLEMS. OUR VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING AND SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO DOWNLOAD THE COMPUTER INFORMATION LAST WEEK. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT THAT WAS FILED BY THE TEXAS DPS INVESTIGATING OFFICER. *TR
