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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING INTERSTATE 80 IN NEBRASKA DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2009, THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY GOT STUCK ON 70 MPH. I HAD NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS GOING AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WHILE NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I WAS GOING IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES AND THE ROADS WERE VERY SNOW AND ICE PACKED. SINCE DECEMBER, I HAVE PURCHASED A GPS WITH A SPEEDOMETER. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. THERE ARE TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL WORK, THEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT WILL GET STUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR HATCH OPENS BY ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING. ON JUNE 3, 2008 THE CONTACT HAD THE REAR END GATE CONTROLLER, THE LOWER END GATE HATCH ACCELERATOR AND THE LEFT UPPER HATCH ACCELERATOR REPAIRED, AND THE FAILURE HAD RETURNED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HEARD A CLICKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND AFTER PULLING OFF THE COVER PLATE FOR THE ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD I SAW THE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. AT IDLE SPEED FUMES GET INSIDE VEHICLE. REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE SO OLD PART IS AVAILABLE. UPON RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM. I SENT AN E-MAIL TO GM AND SOMEONE CALLED AND SAID THEY NEED MORE PEOPLE TO REPORT IT TO GET SOMETHING DONE. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE FUMES AND POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT SLOW DOWN. IT DOES HOWEVER ACCELERATE. SO NOW WHEN I AM PARKED MY VEHICLE SHOWS THAT I AM DOING WELL OVER 120 MPH. I HAVE TO USE MY GPS UNIT TO CHECK MY SPEED, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THIS PROBLEM IS AFFLICTING MANY PEOPLE. SEEING AS I HELPED KEEP GM FROM GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SHOULDN'T THEY HELP ME? *TR

STRUCTURE, TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
SPARE TIRE HOIST SECONDARY LATCH FROZEN, 2002 GMC ENVOY. SPARE TIRE COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM HOIST WHEN A ROAD HAZARD BLOWOUT OCCURRED. TOW TRUCK OPERATOR COULD NOT REMOVE SPARE. AFTER A TOW TO TIRE VENDOR, THEY COULD NOT GET THE SPARE DOWN. UPON VISITING A DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE AND SAID THE MECHANISM WAS 'FROZEN' AND HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $250, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART IN STOCK. AFTER A TRIP TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THEY CUT THE HOIST CABLE, REMOVED THE SPARE AND REPLACED THE HOIST PART. ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE TRAUMA IF THE FAMILY HAD BEEN ON US HIGHWAY 50 IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS MUST BE A PRIMA-FACIE VIOLATION OF THE FMVSS CODE THAT REQUIRES A SPARE TIRE. YES, THE SPARE TIRE IS PRESENT, BUT IT CAN'T BE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. ONE WOULD HOPE THAT AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS KNOW THAT THE UNDERSIDE OF A VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO CORROSION AND DESIGN ACCORDINGLY. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, MANY ENTHUSIAST FORUMS AND OTHER BLOGS REFLECT THE FRUSTRATIONS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME SITUATION. THE COMMON GRASSROOTS SOLUTION IS TO CUT/GRIND OFF THE SECONDARY LATCH. THUS DEFEATING THE SAFETY SYSTEM INTENT. ONE CAN ONLY HOPE THEY ARE NOT BEHIND A MOVING VEHICLE WITH SUCH A MODIFICATION WHEN THE SPARE TIRE DROPS. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHILE POLITE, INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE HOIST REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A SERVICE BULLETIN COVERING THE PROBLEM. YES, THE VEHICLE IS LONG OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS CUSTOMER SAFETY ISSUE. FROM THE FORUMS AND BLOGS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM, AND THE 'FIX' MIGHT BE MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE INITIAL ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR, AND THE REAR HATCH. I HAVE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH FOUR TIMES, PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY, AND A NEW STARTER, AS WELL AS A FUEL SENSOR. I STILL HAVE INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING. THE STALLING IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AS I TRAVEL VERY BUSY HIGHWAYS DURING MY DAILY COMMUTE. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN, AS WELL AS MYSELF, HAVE BEEN STRANDED MANY TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER OPERATING FINE PRIOR TO TURNING OFF IGNITION. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FOR US BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS. AT THIS POINT, I DO NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE OUT OF FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF HER AND MY CHILDREN. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT STRESS FOR US THAT I FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ENDURE. *TR
