POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
I HAVE AN 03 ENVOY SLT. THE FAN CLUTCH JUST WENT OUT 3 DAYS AGO. I HAD HEARD THE TICKING SOUND BEFORE, BUT NEVER THE LOUD AIRPLANE SOUND UNTIL IT FINALLY BROKE COMPLETELY. THE DEALER WANTS $720. AFTER CALLING GM CUSTOMER SERVICE (MANNY AT 1866-952-4368, EXT. 3-2786), HE SAID BECAUSE I HAVE 119,000 MILES ON MY CAR, THERE IS NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO. I LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHEN I EXPLAINED THIS TO GM, HE STILL DOESN'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE ISSUE. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY FILLER NECK LEAKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS A RECALL. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IT HAD THIS ISSUE BUT THE RECALL IS FOR THE XL MODEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HOW CAN THEY MESS AROUND WITH LEAKING GAS? IT IS A 1200+ REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY WITH APPROX 95,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I WENT TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED THERE WAS A "BANG" SO I PULLED OVER TO LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK, AND MADE SURE NOTHING HAD FALLEN OFF. I GOT BACK IN THE S.U.V. AND MADE MY WAY BACK HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THERE WAS NO REVERSE. I CALLED A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO THE SUNSHELL GEAR. ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE POST ONLINE, SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE AMONG ENVOY'S AND TRAILBLAZER. I CHECKED THE FLUID AND IT APPEARS TO BE FINE, NOT LOW, NOT BURNT, AND STILL RED AND CLEAN. *TR

COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS I HAVE NOWAY KNOWING HOW FAST I AM GOING IT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. THANK YOU. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME AND OTHER GM GMC ENVOY OWNERS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

THROAT OF GAS TANK LEAKING ON A 2003 ENVOY. REVIEWING INTERNET, FOUND MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE ENVOY'S AND STATED IN 2007 THAT NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING. MECHANIC STATED VERY UNUSUAL TO LEAK IN THAT SPOT. ALSO, HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEAD LIGHT SOCKETS DUE TO BURNING UP. HAVE TALKED TO MANY ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN BULB BURNS OUT AND THE RECOMMENDED BULB IS PUT IN PLACE THE SOCKET AND WIRING GETS SO HOT THAT THE SOCKET IS CHARRED AND IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. WIRES HAVE TO BE CUT AND A NEW SOCKET WIRED IN. *TR
