FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
OUR 2003 GMC ENOVY XL HAS JUST HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED AGAIN DUE TO CRACKING OF THE PLASTIC TANK. THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW IS HAPPENING BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK NECK AND THE FUEL TANK. THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A GAS SMELL. THE VEHICLE WASN'T ACCELERATING AS IT SHOULD.

SUSPENSION:REAR
THE VEHICLE WAS REAR-ENDED AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THE BACK-END NOW FISHTAILS, AND THERE'S TREMENDOUS BODY-ROLL WITH THE SLIGHTEST TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL. BODY WORK WAS COMPLETED TO REPAIR THE BECK-END, BUT NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THE SUSPENSION. THREE SEPARATE TRIPS TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIM THAT THE EXCESSIVE BODY ROLL IS A CHARCTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND THAT THERE IS NO WORK TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE IS UNSTABLE AT BEST, AND DANGEROUS WHILE CHANGING LANES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS.*AK

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
I PURCHASED MY GMC ENVOY WITH 17,000 MILES A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. SINCE PURCHASE, MY RADIO HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE THE CD PLAYER STOPS WORKING. SINCE THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPLACED WHICH WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO:MY CD PLAYER HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THE DELAER SAYS THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW RADIO. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT BECAUSE THE RADIO HAS A YEAR WARRANTY ON IT. THIS IS RIDCULOUS BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE THIRD RADIO AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES. AM I GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE MY RADIO EVERY 15,000 MILES? THE TYPE OF RADIO THAT I HAVE IS A BOSE 6 DISC IN-DASH CD RADIO. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND THIS VEHICLE THAT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. I NEED SOME PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. THANKS.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
IN FOUR DIFFERENT CASES ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY THE REAR DOOR LATCH MECHANISMS FAILED TO WORK. IN AT LEAST ONE CASE THE LEFT REAR DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE LEFT REAR DOOR HAS STUCK BUT NEVER FAILED TO OPEN, ALTHOUGH IT IS A FIGHT TO DO SO. THE LAST TIME I RETURNED THE CAR THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE LATCH ASSEMBLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE, WITH THE DEALER TELLING ME THEY HAVE NEVER HAD COMPLAINTS. I FOUND THIS TO BE UNTRUE AS CONVERSATIONS WITH MANY OWNERS OF THE GMC ENVOY AND CHEV. TRAILBLAZER HAVE SEEN THE SAME THING. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY IF THE REAR DOORS DON'T WORK HOW DO WE GET OUR CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE ENGINE OF MY 2002 GMC ENVOY HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BOTH TIME JEOPARDIZING MY SAFETY. THE FIRST STALLED HAPPENED WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT NIGHT. IT STALLED AND STOPPED WHILE I WAS IN THE ONCOMING LANE ON A BEND WHERE TRAFFIC SPEED IN 75 MPH. LUCKILY NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAME BEFORE I PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED AFTER ABOUT 10 IGNITION ATTEMPTS. THE SECOND STALL HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVE AT 65 MPH. THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. I STEERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE STARTED AFTER I LET IT REST A MINUTE. 'VE TOOK THE CAR TO A GMC SHOP AFTER EACH STALL. THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING, THAT IT WAS PROBABLY BAD GAS. THE SECOND DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE SITUATION SO THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER ARM
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH PULLING A 3000 LB. BOAT AND TRAILER. I FELT SOMETHING CHANGE IN THE FRONT END AS THOUGH THE ALIGNMENT CHANGED AS I WAS DRIVING. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY, AND AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES A VERY LOUD POP CAME FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE UPPER BALL JOINT HAD COMPLETELY SEPARTATED FROM THE UPPER CONTROL ARM. THIS APPARENTLY OCCURRED AFTER THE BOLT THAT SECURES THE BALL JOINT IN THE UPPER CONTROL ARM EITHER SHEARED, FELL OUT, OR WAS NEVER THERE BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO DAMAGE, AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING PARTS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THE UPPER CONTROL ARM AND UPPER BALL JOINT.
