2003 GMC ENVOY Complaints

THERE IS A FUELING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAPPENS REGULARLY ENOUGH (30% TO 40% OF THE TIME) TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD OR CAUSE SERIOUS PHYSICAL HAZARD TO THE OPERATOR. THE VEHICLE ON OCCASION WILL NOT ACCEPT GAS INTO THE FUEL TANK AND THEN WILL IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY AND THEN BACK UP AND SPLASH FUEL OUT ONTO THE OPERATOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE. IT MAY TAKE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE TANK WILL ACCEPT THE FUEL, ALL THE WHILE SPLASHING FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER ON EACH ATTEMPT. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE TANK, AS IT APPROACHES FULL, WILL JUST SPLASH GAS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY INDICATION WITHOUT CUTTING OFF THE GAS PUMP FILL HOSE AS IT NORMALLY WOULD. THIS CONDITION CAN BE A SERIOUS PHYSICAL AND HEALTH HAZARD TO THE OPERATOR SINCE GAS GETS ON THE SKIN AND THE CLOTHS OF THE OPERATOR, CAUSING A BURNING SENSATION AND SUBJECTING THE OPERATOR TO OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS. THE FUEL SPILL CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND FIRE HAZARD. A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS HAVE BEEN TRIED WITH THE SAME RESULTS DURING FUELING. THIS WOULD RULE OUT A PROBLEM WITH ONE PUMP OR FILLING STATION CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS EVEN OCCURRED IN DIFFERENT CITIES. *JB

CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER VEHICLE PROPERLY. *TS THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. *JB

A PERSISTENT HIGH PITCHED RATTLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEM. AFTER MONTHS OF SEARCHING BY ACCIDENT DISCOVERED IT WAS THE FRONT HOOD LATCH. GREASED IT AND PROBLEM HAS SUBSIDED. NEIGHBOR WITH 2003 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

DT: CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHEN THE CAR SITS IN THE HEAT OR SUN THE CONTACT CANNOT OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP TWICE FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED.*AK

WE PAID 30.000 THIS GMC ENVOY BECAUSE WE WANTED A CAR THAT WOULD RUN AND THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER SAID WE SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO PAY FOR UPKEEP AND MINOR REPAIRS. THAT IS A JOKE IF YOU BUY A GMC (PART NUMBER 26089516). *NM

DT: 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE GAS TANK CRACKED WHERE THE HOSE WAS CONNECTED TO THE GAS TANK. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY SAID NOT TO FILL UP MORE THAN HALF WAY. THE FUMES COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. DEALER HAD TO ORDER THE TANK. CALLED MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.*AK *JB

DT: WHILE DRIVING AT 35-40 MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE STEERING WAS NOT OPERATING . THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS DONE AND THE RESULT SHOWED THE NEED TO DO AN UPDATE OF SOFTWARE FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ( ECM) AND THE POWER TRAIN, IN GENERAL. THEY PERFORMED THE REPAIRS. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED THE WEEK BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. *NM

DT: AFTER THE OWNER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES FELT BUMPY. THE OWNER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. THEN, THE BACK ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT. THE OWNER DESCRIBES THEM AS A GRABBING FEELING, THE VEHICLE PHYSICALLY MOVES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. WHEN THE BACK RIGHT ROTOR WAS INSPECTED THERE WERE GROOVES. THE PAD HAD EATEN INTO THE ROTOR ON THE REAR AND FRONT. ALL THE BRAKES RUSTED. *AK *JB

FAULTY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT THAT WILL NOT RELEASE TO FASTEN. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AND THE REPAIR PERSON SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, AND THAT IT JUST WAS CATCHING ON SOMETHING. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS VERY HARD TO OPEN THE REPAIR PERSON AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP BROKE THE HANDLE TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE REPAIR SHOP DID FIX THE HANDLE FOR FREE, HOWEVER THE DOOR REMAINS STILL VERY HARD TO OPEN AND I WOULD NOT USE THIS PARTICULAR DOOR. AFTER A WHILE THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND THE DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THE BACK WINDOW WOULD NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP AND THE ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. I AM NOT SURE WHAT MONTH THE FIRST INCIDENCE TOOK PLACE, BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED TO HAPPEN QUICKLY AFTERWARDS.*JB
