2003 GMC ENVOY XL Complaints

2003 GMC ENVOY. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING HAYWIRE. I WAS EITHER GOING LESS THAN 0 MILES AND HOUR OR OVER 120 MILES AND HOUR, DEPENDING ON THE DAY. IT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED ITSELF AND STARTED WORKING AGAIN FOR A WHILE. NOW IT IS BACK TO ACTING ERRATIC AND I NEVER, EVER KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING. I AM EVEN MORE UPSET NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON HERE ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A RECALL SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED BY GMC. I NOW HAVE TO PAY SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY HAD SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE MOVE TO 120 MPH AND WOULD NOT REGISTER PROPER SPEED ON HIGHWAY. ONCE PARKED, CYCLING THE ENGINE (ON/OFF/ON/OFF) CAUSED THE NEEDLE TO RETURN TO ZERO WHILE PARKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE (DEC 18, 2009 AND FEB 4, 2010). THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT OPERATE SMOOTHLY BUT RATHER INCREASES OR DECREASES IN 1 MPH INCREMENTS IN A 'JERKY MOTION'... THIS MUST BE A SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 03' ENVOY STICKS, IT SAYS I AM GOING LIKE 60 WHEN I JUST CRANKED THE CAR. ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE CAR THE SPEEDOMETER STILL READS THE TOP SPEED YOU WERE GOING. THIS IS HORRIBLE, I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM!! GMC NEEDS TO RECALL THIS FAULT AND HAVE IT REPLACED! *TR

DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON, THEN GOES OFF. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVEN WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE IS WARM. THIS IS A SCARY THING NOT KNOWING IF THE AIR BAG IS GOING TO SHOOT OUT WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. MY KIDS DRIVE THIS ENVOY XL, AND TO THINK THAT THEY MAY GET HURT NOT BY ANOTHER DRIVER BUT BY THE VEHICLE THEY ARE DRIVING. THIS IS LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE. DO SOMEONE HAVE TO GET HURT BEFORE YOU FIX THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY AND THERE IS A GAS LEAK. I BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER 2006. IN 2007, I TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY MY NOT TIGHTENING THE GAS CAP. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH PUMPING GAS INTO TANK, PROBLEMS WITH A GAS SMELL WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED OR IF I GO OVER A BUMP. NOW, THERE IS REDUCED POWER. HUSBAND SAYS IT IS ON FUEL FILLER NECK. ON SEVERAL WEB PAGES, IT SAYS THERE WAS A RECALL ONLY I AM UNABLE TO FIND ANY INFORMATION ON IT. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AND WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET IN A CRASH. WE HAVE 5 KIDS THAT I DRIVE AROUND. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS AS OUTLINED IN RECALL NHTSA #EA04002. MY DEALER SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE RECALL BUT THE PROBLEMS ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED. I HAVE PURCHASED A WIPER MOTOR I DID NOT NEED. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY, AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS BROKEN. DUE TO RESEARCH ON THE WEB I'M SEEING NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE PUT A CALL INTO GM THEY ARE TOTAL IGNORANT (&*(*_*. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT SOMETHING I BROKE ON MY OWN OR WORE OUT. I HAVE LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I CALLED LAST YEAR WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THE LADY WAS ONE RUDE '!@#$%!! NOW THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE TO GET IT FIXED FOR INSPECTION AND IT'S NOT GOING TO PASS WITH IT BROKEN. I HAVE NO REAL INCOME BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE UNEMPLOYED!! SO WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM? A CREDIT CARD I CAN'T PAY OFF TO BEGIN WITH. OUR TAXES BAILED THEM OUT, THE LEAST THEY CAN DO IS PROVIDE A SAFE VEHICLE, AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT SAFE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE/PARTS!!! HELP THE POOR FOLK HERE!!! THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AT THEIR COST NOT THE POOR STRUGGLING CLASS OF PEOPLE!!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING @ 35 MPH I NOTICED A VERY LOUD RATTLE AND HEARD A NOISE LOOKING IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR A SAW THE WHOLE PLASTIC TOP THAT FITS OVER THE HATCH BACK AND HOUSES THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, FLY OFF INTO THE AIR AND LAND IN THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. IT RIPPED THE BRAKE LIGHT WIRE RIGHT OUT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING AROUND THE TURN AT THE TIME. HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC TO GET IT OUT OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A BUSY SIDE ROAD THAT COMES TO A STOP LIGHT. *TR

WHEN OPENING THE TRUNK RELEASE TO PLACE GROCERIES IN BACK, THE GLASS WINDOW IN THE BACK DOOR SHATTERED WITH A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND. *TR
