SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM:SPRINGS/BAGS, POWER TRAIN
DEAR SIR/MADAM, I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY SLT MODEL 4.2L V6 4WD AND AS I WAS BACKING INTO MY GARAGE I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WHINNING NOISE AND I NOW HAVE NO REVERSE GEAR AND WHEN I SELECT THE DRIVE GEAR ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION I HAVE A WHINNING NOISE, I HAVE READ THE BLOGS ON THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THAT GM AND GMC ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME UP TO $2,800.00 PLUS TAX TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REMOVED AND A RE-MANUFACTURED ON REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS JUST GLAD THAT THIS MATTER HAPPENED AT MY RESIDENCE AND NOT ON SOME BACK ROAD IN WEST VA., I BELIEVE THAT AS STATED, GM AND GMC IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE 4L603 TRANSMISSION THAT WERE USED IN THESE VEHICLES' AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE SUN-SHELL AND THE REACTION SUN GEARS THAT ARE LIKE A GRENADE EXPLODING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE FOR A RECALL TO BE STARTED ON THIS PROBLEM AND THE OWNERS TO BE PAID BACK ON ALL OF THESE REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DEFLATED ON BOTH SIDES ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BOTTOM OUT ON STOPS. UPDATED 07/08/15

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I NOTICED A ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET. THE ENGINE MADE AN UNUSUAL NOISE SO I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, THE CAR STARTED WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR RAN FOR A SHORT TIME THEN STOPPED AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART ITSELF ABOUT 5 TIMES. OUR MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND SAID THERE HAD BEEN A FIRE IN THE FUSE BOX. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE CHARRED REMAINS OF THE FUSE BOX, COVER AND CONNECTORS. MOST OF THE PLASTIC CONNECTORS UNDER THE FUSE BOX COULD NOT BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY HAD MELTED AND WERE FUSED ONTO THE BOX. HE NOTED THE FIRE SEEMED TO ORIGINATE FROM FUSE 46, THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE. FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT ISSUES INVOLVING BULBS THAT WERE BURNING OUT FREQUENTLY OR WERE GOING OUT THEN COMING BACK ON.

SUSPENSION
WAS INSPECTING CAR AND HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO DEALERSHIP THAT FRONT END HAD A STRANGE NOISE WHEN WE GO OVER A ROUGH ROAD. WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE FUEL SMELL IS COMING FROM I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE WELD NEXT TO THE SHOCK MOUNT . I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS REPAIR THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW ALL I CAN THINK IS THAT THEY SAW THIS AND DID A REPAIR AND NOT TELLING US SO IF YOUR CAR IS CREAKING CHECK THE FRONT END COULD BE FALLING APART.

VISIBILITY
I WENT INSIDE WAL-MART FOR MAYBE 1/2 HOUR AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE WINDOW WAS BUSTED OUT. WE THOUGHT SOME PUNK SMASHED THE WINDOW SO WE CALLED THE POLICE. THEY WATCHED THE VIDEO OF THE PARKING LOT AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO ONE BY THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED. I DON'T SEE HOW IT CAN JUST "MAGICALLY" SMASH INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES WITH NO ONE AROUND BUT AFTER READING THROUGH OTHER COMPLAINTS I CAN SEE THAT I'M NOT ALONE. OF THE 202 COMPLAINTS ON HERE THERE ARE 10 (THIS MAKES 11) INCIDENCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED AND GMC IS NOT RECALLING THEM? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $500.00 FOR A BRAND NEW WINDOW AND IT IS A WEEK AND A HALF BEFORE CHRISTMAS. WE TRIED TO FIND ONE IN THE JUNKYARDS BUT THEY COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS A NEW ONE. I AM SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW. *TR
