2003 GMC ENVOY Complaints

THE DASH CLUSTER DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, ALL THE LIGHTS TURN ON AND DOORS LOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING ON IN TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY , ALL THE GAUGES COME ON AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREETS AT RANDOM TIMES.. THE REAR HAS AIRBAGS IN THE SUSPENSION AND AND AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY, I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT HAD 30 CODES ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM

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.
