FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. IT WAS FLUCTUATING FROM EMPTY TO A NORMAL READ AFTER FILL UP, NOW IT JUST STAYS ON EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY. SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SENDING UNIT AND FUEL SENSOR. DEALER WANTS ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2005 GMC ENVOY XL - MY CAR HAS DIED ON ME WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW, AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, AND I AM AFRAID MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD GET HURT. LOOKING ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND OTHER ENVOYS HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. ONE TIME IT DID LEAD TO A DEATH. I AM HOPING MY COMPLAINT MAY BE THE ONE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. EACH TIME SOMEONE HAS TAKEN THEIR VEHICLE IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY GET THE SAME RESPONSE I HAVE GOTTEN, NOTHING DONE!! MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE IT BACK IN HOPING THEY WILL FIND THE PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. IT'S VERY SCARY TO BE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR CAR JUST DYING ON YOU FOR NO REASON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I'VE OWNED MY 2006 ENVOY FOR ABOUT A YEAR WHEN THE GAS GAGE KEPT SAYING THAT IT WAS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL. I HAD IT FIXED BUT IT IS UPSETTING I HAD TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MYSELF. I FIND IT INTERESTING THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT
FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED IN 2008, DRIVING TO WORK IN 2003 GMC ENVOY SLT (ORIGINAL OWNER) HEARD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. TOOK CAR IN TO SHOP FOR REPAIR (JUST OVER 50K MILES SO OUT OF WARRANTY). SHOP EXPLAINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED $4000 WITH ONE YEAR WARRANTY. SINCE I WAS PLANNING ON DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY DECIDED TO DO THE REPAIR. ONE YEAR LATER, DRIVING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON A RAMP TO FIND SUV STUCK IN SECOND GEAR AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHILE RPM KEPT GOING UP. ALSO HEARD CLUNKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO GET GEARS TO SHIFT BY SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP (TO GET RPM TO DROP). DROVE CAR TO DEALER WHO STATED I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION (AGAIN). DEALER REMOVED TRANSMISSION AND "FOUND INPUT BUSHING IN PUMP BAD. AND REVERSE DRUM. AND HAD HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION". WHEN ASKED WHY THIS IS MY THIRD TRANSMISSION IN SIX YEARS THE SERVICE AGENT SAID "BAD LUCK". BOTH REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS WERE REBUILDS. THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
FAULTY SPEEDOMETER IN 2004 GMC ENVOY, BAD STEEPER MOTORS IN ALL 6 GAUGES. SPEEDOMETER INACCURATE, WILL GO PAST 120MPH, WILL AFFECT TACH EVENTUALLY, ALL GAUGES WILL GO BAD. THE PROBLEM IS FAULTY STEEPER MOTORS GM WAS SUPPLIED THESE BY DELPHI ELECTRONICS. GM WON A CLASS ACTION SUIT, WHY NO RELIEF TO ENVOY OWNERS? THIS AFFECTS ALL 2003-2004 ENVOYS, THEY WERE INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL SERVICE BULLETIN THEN REMOVED? WHY NO RECALL ON THESE ITEMS GM IS AWARE OF THIS BUT AS OF TODAY NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A 2002 GMC ENVOY. FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO, I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WHENEVER I STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND SOMETIMES TURNS OFF. I USUALLY TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT UP AGAIN. ON MONDAY, JULY 27TH, I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND NO FURTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY CAR OR OTHER PROPERTY. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC. ONCE THERE, THE MECHANIC LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE COMPUTER ENGINE AND THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL. HE HAD ME CALL GMC SO THAT I COULD REPORT THE INCIDENT. WHEN I CALLED, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY EXACT CAR BUT THAT SHE WOULD CONTACT THE MECHANIC AND GET SOME MORE INFORMATION. AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF WAITING WITH NO VEHICLE OR CALL FROM GMC, I FINALLY GET A CALL BACK FROM THE MECHANIC TELLING ME THAT HE SPOKE TO THE GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND THAT THEY WOULD BE CALLING ME BACK TO SET UP A DATE AND TIME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE FIXED AND THAT THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS CORRECT. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM GMC AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COVER THE REPAIR. NEVER HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS BEFORE, I WAS COMPLETELY CONFUSED AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHY GMC WAS NOT COVERING IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME RESOLUTION FROM IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND LOST THE DRIVE GEAR AND HAD TO DOWN SHIFT TO 2ND GEAR ALTHOUGH I OWNED AN AUTOMATIC CAR. I ONLY HAD A CAR WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT COULD BE MY TRANSMISSION ALREADY. I WAS ABLE TO UP SHIFT TO DRIVE BUT ONLY AFTER GOING INTO 2. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY UNCLES HOUSE, HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS LIKELY GONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY, 80,700 MILES ORIGINAL OWNER. WHILE MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN 2ND GEAR. ENGINE RPM'S INCREASED TO 5,000 SPEED DROPPED TO 20 MPH CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO GMC DEALER, ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH GMC ENVOY TRANSMISSIONS AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NONE. THE DIAGNOSIS, MY TRANSMISSION EXPLODED INTERNALLY WITH A FAILURE OF THE SUN SHELL GEAR AND TORQUE CONVERTER. TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE REBUILT AND THE COST OF INSTALLING A RE MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION WAS $3700! GM HAS BEEN HAVING THESE TRANSMISSION FAILURES SINCE 2002 WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LIABILITY! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE BEACH (SANDY HOOK NATIONAL PARK, NJ) WHEN MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I USED ON STAR TO REMOTE DIAGNOSE THE CODE, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ERROR IN MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY NEAREST SERVICE CENTER WHO INSPECTED MY TRUCK AND INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION LINES THAT HAD JUST SIMPLY 'CORRODED' AND THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS ALMOST BEEN RUNNING ON NO FLUID. THIS WAS SHOCKING CONSIDERING I MAINTAIN GOOD CARE OF MY 2002 ENVOY AND HAD SEEN NO SIGN OF LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID BUT WAS INFORMED IT WAS SOMEHOW ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF MY TRUCK. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE LINES FOR A COST OF 690 DOLLARS, BUT I STILL FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS NOT QUITE RIGHT WITH THIS SITUATION AND HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR
