2003 GMC ENVOY Complaints

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

I HAVE AN 03 ENVOY SLT. THE FAN CLUTCH JUST WENT OUT 3 DAYS AGO. I HAD HEARD THE TICKING SOUND BEFORE, BUT NEVER THE LOUD AIRPLANE SOUND UNTIL IT FINALLY BROKE COMPLETELY. THE DEALER WANTS $720. AFTER CALLING GM CUSTOMER SERVICE (MANNY AT 1866-952-4368, EXT. 3-2786), HE SAID BECAUSE I HAVE 119,000 MILES ON MY CAR, THERE IS NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO. I LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHEN I EXPLAINED THIS TO GM, HE STILL DOESN'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE ISSUE.
