2003 GMC ENVOY Complaints

2003 GMC ENVOY HAS CONTINUOUS MALFUNCTIONS IN THE OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS. WHEN USING THE CURB ASSIST OPTION THE MIRRORS DO NOT RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION. WHEN OPTION IS TURNED OFF THE MIRRORS TURN UPWARD (TOWARD SKY) AFTER VEHICLE IS PUT INTO THE DRIVE POSITION. DEALER SAYS IT IS MY PROBLEM AND GMC SAID DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHEN I THREATENED TO CONTACT YOUR ORGANIZATION. *JB

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

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
