FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
THERE SEEMS TO BE AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF ERROR CODE PO442 IN THE 2003 GMC ENVOY AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. THIS CODE IS A FAULTY GAS TANK THAT OVER TIME DEVELOPS A SMALL LEAK. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE THE TANK. THIS COST ANYWHERE BETWEEN $1000 - $1500 TO REPLACE. IF THERE IS A GAS LEAK THERE CAN BE A FIRE!!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED. WELL BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT, THEY HAD THE A/C FIXED, DUE TO IT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WELL THE REAR A/C AND HEAT STILL DO NOT WORK. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON, AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. IT DOES NOT GIVE OUT HEAT AT ALL IN THE REAR. THIS IS A REAL ISSUE FOR US AND MANY OTHERS WITH CHILDREN. I HAVE READ PLENTY OF OTHER REPORTS STATING THE SAME OR VERY CLOSE. IN ALL IN ALL, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THESE CARS ARE WAY TO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AND NOT HAVE GMC STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THEIR ISSUE. *TR

OUT BACK LATCH DOOR, DOES NOT SHUT PROPERLY. YOU HAVE TO SLAM IT, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BREAK THE GLASS. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A VERY BIG ISSUE BECAUSE IF IT FAILS TO STAY CLOSE LIKE IT SOMETIMES DOES, IT COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
I WAS DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE 75 AT NIGHT WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD, 16 YEAR OLD, AND 18 YEAR OLD NEPHEW RETURNING TO COLLEGE AFTER WINTER BREAK ON JAN. 2,003. WE WERE LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AFTER WE ALMOST WRECKED. THE GEARS WERE JUMPING BACK AND FORTH FROM 2 WHEEL TO WHEEL DRIVE. I TOOK TO A LOCAL GM DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COSTS ME 2500 TO REPAIR-THE PROBLEM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I CONTACTED THE 1800 GM SERVICE LINE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ASSISTING WITH REPAIRS DUE TO MILEAGE. I ASKED AROUND AT DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR AND TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THEY SAID THAT GM KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL IN ENVOYS, TRAILBLAZERS, AND ISUZUS. EVEN IF THE PROBLEM GETS FIXED, IM TOLD THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL GM ADDRESSES THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WITH THE DIFFERENTIALS. I BELIEVE MY GEAR PROBLEM CAUSED THE DIFFERENTIAL TO FAIL. MEANWHILE I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF ON. IT IS REALLY AN INCONVENIENCE TO ME. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR, THE CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. IM BEHIND ON MY CAR PAYMENT, HAVING TO RENT A CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. OTHER PROBLEMS INCLUDE THE CLUTCH FAN GOING OUT, COSTING ME OVER $500 TO REPAIR ON MY OWN. GM REFUSED TO HELP. THIS WENT OUT AT 33,000, SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. I AM REALLY BURDENED RIGHT NOW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

JUST ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THE SPEEDOMETER; VEHICLE NOW HAS 50,000 MILES, SO IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER WON'T FIX. PULL UP TO A STOP SIGN AND SPEEDOMETER STILL READS 20 MPH. VARIES ALL OVER THE PLACE. IF GMC DOESN'T RECALL, I WILL HAVE ENJOYED BOTH MY FIRST AND LAST GMC AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING IN DECEMBER 2007 EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK THE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON, AFTER A FEW MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY, THEN IT WILL READ SOMETHING ELSE. SO I HAVE TO ALWAYS RESET MY MILEAGE SO THAT I KNOW HOW FAR I HAVE WENT. THIS GMC IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. IT DRIVES ME NUTS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT WILL FINALLY RESET TO WHERE THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THEN I HAVE TO FILL IT AGAIN. I ALMOST DREAD GOING TO PUT GAS IN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
I STARTED MY GMC ENVOY SO THAT IT MAY WARM UP. AS IT WAS WARMING UP I STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE. I HIT THE ONSTAR BUTTON AND WAS SPEAKING TO THE CUSTOMER REP WHEN THE SMOKE GOT HEAVY AND SPARKS CAME FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL. I IMMEDIATELY BACK THE CAR OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT MY HOUSE TO BURN IN CASE THE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES. THE ONSTAR REP CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO CAME AND RIPPED APART THE DOOR PANEL, DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND PULLED OUT A BURNED WINDOW HARNESS UNIT. THE FIRE CHIEF SAID THAT IT WHAT STARTED THE FIRE. THE TOW TRUCK CAME AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS OVER, MIND YOU THIS IS A 2007 GMC. WHEN I TOLD HIM IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND IT DID NOT MATTER WHETHER OR NOT I HAD WARRANTY OR NOT GMC SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY IF I WANTED MY CAR FIXED. I HAD TO RENT A CAR BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT EVEN HONOR THEY'RE 5 YEAR 100K MILE COURTESY CAR WARRANT AND I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $1000.00 APART FROM THE RENTAL TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED. WHEN I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK THE RECEIPT CONFIRMED WHAT HAPPEN. THE SERVICE MANAGER EVEN STATED THAT THE FIRE STARTED FROM THE WIRE HARNESS AND THERE WAS A SHORT SOMEWHERE IN THE CAR THAT THEY HAD TO REPAIR AS WELL. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. *TR
