2003 GMC ENVOY XL Complaints

THE CONSUMER WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INTAKE WHICH WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN AT THE DEALER ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME DEFECT, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THERE WAS NO HELP GIVEN TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *AK THE RPM'S WOULD DROP WHILE APPLYING GAS, WITHIN 2-3 SECONDS, THE MPH DROPPED TO 30-40 MPH WITH NO WARNING. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED 2-3 CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH OTHER VEHICLES DRIVING BEHIND HIM. *SC

I WAS STOPPED AT A DRIVE UP ATM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED ONSTAR AND THEYASKED THAT I CHECK THE GAS CAP WHICH I DID. LATER THAT DAY WHILE PARKED ON A SLOPING DRIVEWAY FOR AN HOUR I FOUND GASOLINE LEAKED AND COVERED THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAUSE WAS A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK JUST BELOW THE FILLER NECK. I WAS OUT OF THE STATE; MY SON'S MECHANIC SAID THAT I CAN DRIVE HOME AS LONG AS THE TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL. NO PRIOR REPAIR ON THE FUEL TANK OR REQUIRED ITS REMOVAL. I CALLED GMC ANDWAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT THE PERSON (TRACY) THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THAT THIS HAS OCCURED TO A NUMBER OF VEHICLES GMC ENVOY XL 2003. MY DEALER EVEN STOCKS THE FUEL TANKS FOR THE VEHICLE.*AK

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I SMELLED GAS. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A CRACK BETWEEN GAS TANK AND THE FILLER NECK. THE FUEL TANK WAS NEVER WORK ON OR REMOVED BEFORE. BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE EXTEND WARRANTY AND HAD 56,00 MILE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A RARE THING BUT THEY ARE STILL NOT WANTING TO ASSIST ME IN THE REPAIR WHICH WILL COST A $1,000.*AK

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS FROM THE REAR WINDOWS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN ALLOWING THE WINDOW TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS A BAD TIME SUCH AS IN A STORM. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE REGULATOR. THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES FOR FAILURE TO WORK PROPERLY. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD TWICE. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH WOULD SHUT OFF AFTER YOU TRIED TO PUT IT BACK INTO 2-WHEEL DRIVE. THE DEALER REPLACED A FAULTY SWITCH. SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO CRAZY. NOW, THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY YARD AND WILL NOT START. WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWS THAT THERE IS 40 POUNDS OF OIL PRESSURE AND THE MPH IS 90 AND THE CAR IS NOT EVEN RUNNING. THE DIC SAYS THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDS SERVICING. *AK

OUR 2003 GMC ENOVY XL HAS JUST HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED AGAIN DUE TO CRACKING OF THE PLASTIC TANK. THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW IS HAPPENING BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK NECK AND THE FUEL TANK. THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A GAS SMELL. THE VEHICLE WASN'T ACCELERATING AS IT SHOULD.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEWOUT WITHOUT WARNING. *NM THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE RIM AND HIT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE. THE RIM WAS ALSO DAMAGED DURING THE BLOWOUT. *NM

IN FOUR DIFFERENT CASES ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY THE REAR DOOR LATCH MECHANISMS FAILED TO WORK. IN AT LEAST ONE CASE THE LEFT REAR DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE LEFT REAR DOOR HAS STUCK BUT NEVER FAILED TO OPEN, ALTHOUGH IT IS A FIGHT TO DO SO. THE LAST TIME I RETURNED THE CAR THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE LATCH ASSEMBLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE, WITH THE DEALER TELLING ME THEY HAVE NEVER HAD COMPLAINTS. I FOUND THIS TO BE UNTRUE AS CONVERSATIONS WITH MANY OWNERS OF THE GMC ENVOY AND CHEV. TRAILBLAZER HAVE SEEN THE SAME THING. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY IF THE REAR DOORS DON'T WORK HOW DO WE GET OUR CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OFF, LEAVING ONLY THE RIM ATTACHED TO THE SPINDLE. SPARKS IGNITED WHEN THE RIM CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE CONCRETE. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, AND ALLOWED IT TO COAST TO A STOP. *AKI

MICHELIN, P245/65R17, DOT# M3KTD2CX3002. CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT. PIECES BLEW ACROSS THE HIGHWAY. CONSUMER PULLED OVER TO THE LEFT LANE AND SOUGHT HELP. *AK

THERE ARE VARIOUS ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE 2003 GMC ENVOY SLT XL.*MR FUEL FLOWS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN PUMPING. THE DEALER HAD TOLD THE CONSUMER TO PUMP SLOWLY, THEY REPLACED THE EMISSION CANISTER VENT SOLENOIDS, REPLACED THE TANK NECK/HOSE AND REPLACED THE LEFT TANK. ALTHOUGH THESE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME ACROSS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT INDICATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENVOY LIKE THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED. HE STATED HE WOULD ORDER THE FILLER UPPER PIPE ASSEMBLY AND LOWER HOSE ASSEMBLY. IF THIS REPAIR DOES NOT ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM THE CONSUMER REQUEST A REFUND OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. *NM
