2003 GMC ENVOY XL Complaints

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY THAT STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE FILLER TUBE AND FUEL ASSEMBLY WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER THE COSTLY FUEL TANK WAS NOT. HOW CAN YOU HAVE AN ITEM DIRECTLY RELATED TO CORROSION THAT CAUSED THE TANK PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE NOT BE REIMBURSABLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM TO ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO RIDE AROUND WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. SAFETY IN NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SHE NOTICED THAT HER HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AND NOT COME BACK ON. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SOCKET AND WIRING TO THE HEADLIGHT WHICH MELTED THE TERMINAL. THE HEADLAMP SOCKET AND WIRING WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

THE REAR OF MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL GOES DOWN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. USUALLY THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE GOES BACK UP AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. ONCE, THOUGH, THE REAR SUSPENSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. NOW MY THE REAR ON MY VEHICLE IS DAWN THIS IS A SECOND TIME AND NO GOES UP THAT LOOK DANGER FOR DRIVE. *TR

DURING COLDER DAYS, OUR SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2003 GMC ENVOY XL DOES NOT WORK UNTIL IT WARMS UP. WE HAVE 112,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER RESEARCHING ON LINE FOR SPEEDOMETER ISSUES, THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE. I CANNOT TELL WHAT SPEED WE ARE GOING AND THEN ONCE IT WARMS UP IT BEGINS TO WORK RECORDING HALF SPEED. IT MAY OR MAY NOT EVENTUALLY RECORD ACCURATE SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FROM THE STAND POINT THAT I USE MY SPEEDOMETER TO DETERMINE SPEED GOING INTO CORNERS AND OFF RAMPS. WITHOUT THIS ABILITY, MY SPEED IS ESTIMATED WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW ACCURATE SPEED INTO CURVES. THIS APPEARS TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS, THE REAR OF OUR 2003 GMC ENVOY XL GOES DOWN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. WE HAVE HAD THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE SUSPENSION REPLACED BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. USUALLY THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE GOES BACK UP AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. ONCE, THOUGH, THE REAR SUSPENSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. *TR

MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL SLE HAS A LATCH PROBLEM ON THE BACK DOORS, IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED BUT ISN'T RESOLVED AND THE DRIVER HEADLAMP CONSTANTLY BURNS OUT, 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I CALLED ON A RECALL BUT THERE ISN'T ONE. ITS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AT SOME POINT. THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO FIX IT THE SOCKET WAS BURNT AND PLASTIC MELTED, THAT COULD'VE CAUSED A MAJOR FIRE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE HERE, IM GOING TO GET IN BIG TROUBLE BECAUSE I CAN'T PUT IN ANOTHER BULB IT WILL CAUSE MORE FIRE. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY HAS A MASSIVE POWER STEERING LEAK. IT'S COMING OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE , BEHIND THE TIRE. *TR

MY 03 ENVOY XL AIR COMPRESSOR WILL NOT INFLATE THE AIR SUSPENSION. THE REAR END IS SITTING WAY DOWN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF AIR IN THE SHOCKS BUT WILL BOTTOM OUT EASILY. THE COMPRESSOR COMES ON FOR ABOUT 30 SEC TO 1 MIN AT STARTUP BUT NO INCREASE IN RIDE HEIGHT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED - 1ST TIME WAS ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006 AND THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT FOR FREE. I HAVE BEEN READING ON-LINE AND HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OVER THE YEARS FOR THE MODEL - 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. *TR
