2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY 360. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING SOLENOID VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,349.

HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THEY TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE NEXT YEAR IT HAPPENED, THEY STAYED OFF UNTIL PULLING OVER, TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS ON THE INTERNET, AND SEEMS TO BE RESTRICTED TO THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND GMC ENVOY. THE REPORTED FIX IS TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM RELAY.

HAVE ISSUES WITH 4WD. VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO ENGAGE IN 4WD HI OR LOW. TRIED IN PARK & NEUTRAL WHILE PARKED AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED.

WHEN USING THE WIPERS, THEY WILL WIPE OK FOR A COUPLE OF SWIPES AND THEN GET STUCK AND SHIMMY DOWN THE WINDSHIELD. SOMETIMES THEY JUST STICK IN PLACE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED WE GO OR IF WE ARE STOPPED.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER DRASTICALLY WHEN GOING UP ANY INCLINE. WAS GOING 65 AND SPEED DROPPED TO 35 GOING UP SLIGHT GRADE HILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMP FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE CONTACT INDEPENDENTLY REPLACED THE HARNESS CONNECTOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE MY RESIDENCE. PERFORMED A WALK AROUND INSPECTION AND FOUND NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF FUEL LEAKAGE. OPENED THE HOOD AND HAD NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. ENVOY IS HARD TO START BUT ONCE STARTED CONTINUES TO RUN WITH NO ISSUES. GASOLINE FUMES ARE EVIDENT IN THE CAB WHILE PARKED BUT DISPERSE WHEN MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. UPON STOPPING IN TRAFFIC, FUMES IMMEDIATELY BECOME VERY STRONG IN THE CAB. RESEARCHING ON LINE SIMILAR SITUATIONS, IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. CHECKED UNDER THE ENVOY AND NOTICED SOME MINOR STREAKING ON THE TANK. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME FUEL PUMP EROSION ISSUE, THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR IS BETWEEN $650 AND $900. MA 10/6 THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER REMOVING THE GAS TANK, HE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THE METAL LINES BROKE OFF AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AS HE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE CLIPS HOLDING THE LINES ON TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AND THE ASSOCIATED METAL LINE WERE RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR. IT APPEARED THE METAL LINES AS PART OF THE FUEL PUMP WERE SPRAYING FUEL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE PUMP WAS RUNNING. THE DESIGN OF THE TOP OF THE TANK WITH THE FUEL PUMP PROVIDED A BOWL ON THE TOP OF THE TANK WHERE THE FUEL PUMP WAS LOCATED ALLOWING SALT WATER TO POOL ON TOP OF THE TANK DURING THE WINTER DRIVING SEASON. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AND THE TANK WAS RE-INSTALLED. UPDATED 03/01/16.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

I AND MY PASSENGER WERE IN AN ACCIDENT ABOUT A YEAR AGO, A VERY HARD FRONT END IMPACT, AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. WE WERE BOTH TRANSPORTED TO THE ER BY AMBULANCE, I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL HARD SO HARD THAT IT BENT INWARDS AND BROKE MY NOSE ALSO HAD A CONCUSSION. HE WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND HIT THE FRONT DASH, WHERE THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, HE BROKE HIS FRONT TEETH AND ALSO HAD A CONCUSSION. I'VE ALSO HAD MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT EVERY OTHER 02 OR 03 ENVOY HAS YET MY VIN PULLS NO RECALLS. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED!!! THANKS.
