FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL TANK NECK WHERE THE FUEL GOES INTO THE VEHICLE, THEN DOWN TO THE GAS TANK, HAS IN THE PLASTIC & LEAKS FUEL & GAS VAPORS SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. MY MECHANIC SAID THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THIS WITHOUT PURCHASING A NEW FUEL TANK SINCE THIS IS ALL ONE PIECE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY DAD WAS DRIVING HIS 2003 GMC ENVOY XL HOME FROM WORK AND HE FELT A SMALL EXPLOSION AND SAW BLACK SMOKE OUT OF HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR. SO HE PULLED OVER, GOT OUT, AND THERE WERE FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE CAR. WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES THE CAR EXPLODED. A FIRE FIGHTER AND STATE TROOPER PULLED OVER TO HELP HIM, AND THEY BOTH SAID THE FIRE LOOKED LIKE IT STARTED FROM A FUEL LEAK BECAUSE THE FLAMES WERE "DRIPPING" UNDER THE CAR. AFTER RESEARCHING RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS, I AM INFURIATED THAT THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS FILED OVER THIS PROBLEM, AND EVEN AN INVESTIGATION WAS DONE, BUT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS ENOUGH TO BE A RECALL. I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF HE HAD WAITED TO PULL OVER AT THE NEXT EXIT OR THE FIRST EXPLOSION HAD BEEN BIGGER. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALMOST ALL YEARS OF THIS MODEL SINCE 2002. I HOPE NOTHING LIKE THIS, OR SOMETHING WORSE, HAPPENS TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR ..

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
IN 2012, GMC RECALLED THE 2007 ENVOY FOR A FAULTY SWITCH THAT WAS SHORTING OUT AND CAUSING FIRE ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. THERE WAS A DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS UP FOR REPAIR DUE TO A BACK ORDER OF PARTS. IN MAY 2013, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN AND THE LOCAL GMC DEALER REPAIRED THE SWITCH (12180) "PER SERVICE PROCEDURE" WHICH MEANT, A COATING WAS PUT ON THE DOOR SWITCH HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER WAS NOT MADE AWARE TO THE EXACT NATURE OF THESE "PROCEDURES." AT THE END OF JUNE 2013, THE DOOR HAD SHORTED OUT AND WAS AGAIN TAKEN IN TO THE GMC DEALER AND ACTUALLY REPLACED AFTER ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF 4 INDIVIDUALS WHO VISITED A GAS STATION AS THE LAST STOP. WHEN A CLAIM WAS OPENED WITH GM, THE CONSUMER WAS GIVEN A LOT OF "I UNDERSTAND" AND NO OTHER ANSWER COULD BE GIVEN EXCEPT FOR IT WAS STANDARD PROCEDURE TO "BAND-AID" THESE SWITCHES. FINALLY, THE GM REPRESENTATIVE SUPPLIED THE CONSUMER WITH THE EXCUSE THAT THE PART WAS NOT IN YET AND THAT WAS WHY IT WAS NOT FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE. A POOR ATTEMPT TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES OF ANY LIABILITY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF DRIVING. IT GOES TO ZERO. IT SOMETIMES STARTS AGAIN IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND STARTED AGAIN, BUT IT WILL QUIT WORKING IF A LONG DRIVE CONTINUES. IT WORKS PERFECTLY WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN ON SHORT TRIPS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN APPARENTLY SAYS TO "CLEAN GROUND CONNECTION". HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM TOLD I NEED TO HAVE SPEEDOMETER REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $600.00. *TR

I THEN CHECKED INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND THE CABLE THAT COME FROM THE SHIFTER TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS OF AND THE BUSHING THE WAS SUPPOSE TO HOLD THE CABLE END ON THE TRANSMISSION BRACKET WAS DEFECTIVE AND MADE MY VEHICLE VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST HITTING MY WIFE. IF IT HAD HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT I COULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE OR THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. CONTACTED GMAC NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAFETY PROBLEM I HAVE DESCRIBED. *TR

ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2005 SERIES GMC ENVOY, CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. BASICALLY THE COOLING FAN CLUTCH GOES BAD EASILY AND QUICKLY. WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE IT IS FINE BUT AFTER THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO ENGAGE IT EITHER CLICKS, AND DOESN'T ENGAGE OR IT JUST MAKES THAT COMMON JET ENGINE ROARING. THIS IS ALL TO COMMON AND GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE WITH 40,000 MILES OR 140,000. I MY SELF AM ON MY SECOND ONE AND IT IS ALREADY DOING TO THE SAME THING AFTER 5 MONTHS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STOP ENGINE/LOW OIL PRESSURE DISPLAY CONTINUALLY COMES ON AND WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND AT TIMES WILL STALL. AFTER REPLACING PCM, OIL SENDING UNIT, THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, CLEANING THE PCV VALVE AND MAP SENSOR AND MULTIPLE OTHER PARTS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS AND STATED THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE CAM SHAFT ACTUATOR (FOR A COST OF APPROX. $885), BUT THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FROM 02/14/2011 UNTIL 11/07/12 AND STILL UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC MANUFACTURER, BUT STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE MY ISSUES. *TR
