EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON SOME 2003 GMC ENVOYS REGARDING A TURN SIGNAL DEFECT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V198000. WITH 286,478 POTENTIAL VEHICLES AFFECTED. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND IT IS NOT WITHIN THE VIN RANGE OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE DOSES INDEED HAVE THE INTERMITTENT INCORRECT TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM, GMC IS REFUSING TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE OF MY VIN.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD, AND TAIL LIGHTS FLASHED RANDOMLY AT ANY SPEED, THIS FAILURE STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2006. THE WEATHER AND TIME OF DAY WERE NOT FACTORS IN THE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THERE WERE TSBS FOR THE FAILURE, AS WELL AS FOR SEVERAL OTHERS. THE FUEL NECK HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE DUE TO A DESIGN CHANGE. THE SEAL AROUND THE LICENSES PLACE HOLDER CAME LOOSE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SQUEAKING, THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE FOR SERVICE ON THREE OCCASIONS, AND REPLACED THE SERPENTINE BELT TWICE, AN AIRBAG SENSOR, THE REAR WIPER ARM, THE OXYGEN SENSOR TWICE ,THE FIRST TIME AT 7000 MILES. THERE WERE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURES, WHEN THE CONTACT TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATED AND THEN SURGED. THE WEATHER STRIPPING ON THE REAR DOORS HAS BEEN REPAIRED THREE TIMES. THE ABS WOULD SKIP ON A BUMPY ROAD AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AT ONE POINT THE CONTACT COULD SMELL FUEL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND VEHICLE HAD VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT AIR VALVE BECAME STUCK AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE REAR DOOR HINGES SQUEAKED. THIS WINTER IT WON'T GO TO FULL VOLTAGE UNTIL A MINUTE ELAPSED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED. THE ORIGINAL FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3829, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23700.*AK THE BRAKES WERE INOPERATIVE, THE BELTS SQUEAKED, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY, THE REAR WIPER WOULD ONLY WIPE THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK WINDSHIELD. A NEW FUEL NECK WAS INSTALLED. UPDATED 03/15/07. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN
ENGINE TENDED TO REV AT A HIGH LEVEL UNTIL WARMED UP. FINALLY WOULD NOT COME DOWN TO A NORMAL LEVEL DUE TO A FAILED FAN CLUTCH. VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND DEALER QUOTED $800 FOR REPAIRS. HAD THE FAN CLUTCH REPLACED INDEPENDENTLY, WHICH NOW HAS US BACK TO THE ORIGINAL HIGH LEVEL OF REVVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE RUNNING NORMAL. DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR FAILURES, AND YET THE DEALER ACTS LIKE THIS IS AN UNHEARD OF EVENT. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FLICKER AND DIM. THIS HAS BEEN NOTED TO OCCUR MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS. THE VOLTAGE GAGE JUMPS APPROXIMATELY 6 VOLTS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RECREATED. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2004 ENVOY WITH 18,000 MILES IN THE SUMMER OF 2006. BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2007, MY 3 YEAR OLD SON LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS COLD WHILE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT AND BEGGED THAT I TURN OFF THE AIR. TURNS OUT THAT THE VENT IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS BLOWING ICE COLD AIR ON MY SON. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 DEGREES. I CALLED AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A "BULLETIN" STATING THAT GMC WAS FAMILIAR THAT THERE WAS HEAT FAILURE IN THE BACK OF THE CARS, BUT THE COMPANY WAS CHOOSING NOT TO DO A FULL RECALL. INSTEAD, THEY WERE WAITING FOR CUSTOMERS TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM AND BRING IT IN FOR REPAIR. THEY HAD TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PUMP, HOWEVER, THIS STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, IT JUST MODIFIED THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR FROM APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES TO MAYBE 50 DEGREES. NOT A LOT OF COMFORT IN A MINNESOTA WINTER. I WAS INFORMED THAT BOTTOM LINE, IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THAT I COULD JUST TRY TO FORCE THE AIR FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE BACK SEAT. WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING VENTS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND HAVING A SEPARATE HEATING ELEMENT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BACK OF THE CAR? I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WITH THE VENTS IN THE BACK, IT WOULD HELP HEAT THE CAR FASTER IN THE WINTER, HELPING TO KEEP MY SON WARM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HEAT SHOULD BE A LUXURY, AND AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GMC WOULD NOT DO MORE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WANT IT TO BE KNOWN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER, ESPECIALLY FOR FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN WHO DO NOT HAVE A VOICE TO LET THEIR PARENTS KNOW THE ICY AIR BLOWING ON THEM. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS:FRONT
IN ROUTE TO WORK DRIVING MY 2004 GMC ENVOY I WAS INVOLVED IN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDERED A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A TELEPHONE POLE. THE IMPACT WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO SPILT THE POLE IN TWO, TOP HALF JUST MISSING THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE . UPON IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID MY SEAT BELTS LOCK ME IN CAUSING ME TO FLY FORWARD HITTING MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, I HAD TO BE EXTRACTED FROM VEHICLE BY FIRE DEPARTMENT AND TRANSPORTED TO ER. I NOW HAVE PERMANENT SCAR APPROXIMATELY 5 INCHES IN LENGTH ACROSS MY FOREHEAD. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC LATER TO BE INFORMED THAT AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION THEY CONCLUDED THAT SINCE THE PASSENGER SIDE TOOK THE GREATER OF THE IMPACT THE IMPACT WAS NOT GREAT ENOUGH TO WARRANT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT DRIVERS NOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
A CRACKING HAS OCCURRED WHERE THE GASOLINE FILLER TUBE CONNECTS TO THE TANK. THAT CAUSED A VACUUM LEAK, WHICH CAUSED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. DEALERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED, AND CONFIRMED CRACKING AND ADVISED GASOLINE LEAKING COULD OCCUR AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING TANK. 1.VACUUM LEAK RENDERS GASOLINE TANK EMISSIONS SYSTEM INEFFICIENT. 2. IF GASOLINE LEAK OCCURS, IT IS THEN A FIRE HAZARD. THE DEALERSHIP COMMUNICATED TO US, HE HAS SEEN SIMILAR FAILURES IN THAT VEHICLE MODEL (GMC ENVOY). *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER STARED MOVING UP AND DOWN WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE BUT WOULD HAVE A JERKY MOVEMENT NOW THE SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER RESETS TO ZERO. AT A FULL STOP THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ FROM 40 TO 70 MPH AND AT SPEEDS A LOW AS 40 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER WILL REPORT SPEEDS UP TO A 120 MPH. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT ALL THE DRIVER TO ACCURATELY JUDGE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. AS OF THIS COMPLAINT I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT ALL INDICATIONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE IS THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED OR RECONDITIONED. *JB

SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK. IT WILL JUMP AROUND AND STICK ON ANY GIVEN SPEED AND REMAIN THERE. SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED IT WILL DECREASE 5 MPH FROM THE POINT AT WHICH IT WAS LAST POSITIONED. I CANNOT REGULATE MY SPEED WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER AND AFRAID THAT I WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A MECHANIC HOOK HIS COMPUTER UP TO THE VEHICLE. THE CODE IT GAVE WAS A BAD GAS CAP. HE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND RESET THE COMPUTER. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I ALSO SMELLED GAS AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND NOTICED GAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I AM HAVING THE GAS TANK DROPPED AND CHECKED THIS WEEKEND. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM? *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
MY REAR HIGH MOUNT STOP LAMP ATTACHED TO THE LIFT GATE WINDOW HAS BECAME DETACHED YESTERDAY ON IT'S OWN. IT SEEMS THAT IT'S FASTENING HOLDING IT DOWN HAD LOOSENED AND BROKE. IT IS NOW HANGING FROM IT'S WIRING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, REWIRED, AND MOUNTED. I BELIEVE THIS IS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V527000, WHERE VIBRATION AND HEAT FROM NORMAL DRIVING USE PLAYED A FACTOR IN UNCOVERING ANOTHER DEFECT IN THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS. *JB
