I can not put gas in my car. M garage smells of gas fumes. Very dangerous situation of possible fire or illness due to fumes ans I have no transportation. When I bought this car from GMC it had the sam problem. no recall just a safety bulletin. Manufacturer fixed it.There were no warning lights.

My windshield wipers come on when you start the car, or when you just click the switch to put windows up, but the wiper switch is off. The wipers stay operating from 5 to 10 minutes before they shut off, and I am concerned the windshield and/or wipers may become damaged. This issue has just started to occur within the last week. There have been no warning messages of any type displayed.

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that while in drive(D), the vehicle shut off and then restarted. The message “Service Engine Soon” was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who installed the original instrument cluster, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked on several occasions, there was condensation under the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on several occasions, where it was determined that the differential needed to be repaired due to a leak coming from the axle. On several occasions, it was determined that the rear pinion seal needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the rear pinion seal was replaced on several occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,411.

The car's gas gauge and fuel range indicator are problematic. The fuel gauge quickly drops from a higher reading, like 3/4 full, to empty. After this, the gauge and the fuel range both fluctuate while driving, making it impossible to determine the fuel level.

Fuel indicator bounces from Empty to full in the matter of seconds while going down the road. Also, issues with mileage range reported as the fuel indicator is fluctuating.

I bought a 2003 GMC Envoy 3/23/24. The main frame and sub-frame have extensive rot, and is unsafe to drive. It is available to inspect. They disguised frame damage and sold me an unsafe vehicle. I brought the car in to have the ac repaired in August 2024 and when they put it up on the lift that's when they saw the damage. This was Rogers Automotive in Westport MA. They told me at that time that it is unsafe to drive. It has not been inspected by any other parties at this time. We had no idea it was damaged, Rogers said it was sprayed to try to hide the damage.

Rear door will not open. Window works but door handles inside and outside will not unlock door to open.

Back door latches sticking/very hard to open and at times won’t open at all. Visibility from wipers is very limited and not good. Rear exterior lights at times flicker and bulbs come loose at times

1. The air bag dummy light is on 2. The relay switch keeps going bad on my regular headlights, but the brights will turn on 3. Rear driver side door popped open on the highway while driving with my 12 year old nephew in the backseat. Will not latch shut.

HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT AT SAME TIME. HIGH BEAMS WORK, VEHICLE RUNS, HAS ALL POWERS. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE, WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED WHEN IT BEGAN TO TURN INTO EARLY EVENING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND THEY SAID THERE'S A GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE GAS TANK FUEL INLET VALVE. COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE GMC ENVOY AND CORRECTION INVOLVES REPLACING THE WHOLE FUEL TANK COSTING AN AVERAGE $1,400. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IF LEFT UNTREATED. CALLED GMC CORPORATE AND I DIDN'T GET ANY HELP. THEY SAID MY ENVOY WAS NOT UNDER ANY RECALLS. THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT.

SHIFT CABLE BROKE BETWEEN THE SHIFTER AND THE TRANSMISSION WHILE SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE TO PARK ON A STREET. IF THIS HAD HAPPEN WHILE SHIFTING DOWN GEAR TO LOWER SPEED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL, A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HAPPEN THAT WOULD HAVE LED TO A CRASH WITH EXTREME PROPERTY DAMAGE AND MOST LIKELY DRIVER AND PASSENGER INJURY AND POSSIBLE DEATH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO OURISMAN CHEVROLET IN MARLOW HEIGHTS MARYLAND FOR REPAIR AFTER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER MANUALLY SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD'VE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR THE TOW DRIVER TO DO IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN FACING DOWN HILL OR IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION. FOR SOME REASON, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE STILL HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED NOR HAVE I'VE BEEN GIVEN A REASON AS TO WHY.

U GUYS ISSUED RECALLED ALL GMC VEHICLES FOR A LEAKING GAS CK VALVE ON GAS TANK NO MATTER HOW LONG IN SERVICE STATIONARY OR ON MOTION CK WITH MY LOCAL DEALER KARL CHEVROLET ANKENY IOWA THEY SAY EXPIRED I'M 2017 AT 150000 YOUR RECALLED AS LONG AS IN SERVICE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT AND THE BACK DOOR FLEW OPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE OTHER BACK DOOR IS NOT CLICKING SHUT AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

WHEN TRAILER IS CONNECTED TO THE 7 WAY TO BOX TRAILER CONNECTION TRAILER TAIL LAMPS DO NOT LIGHT CORRECTLY. BRAKE AND LEFT TURN SIGNAL LAMPS WORK PROPERLY. THE RIGHT TURN TRAILER LAMP IS PARTIALLY LIT WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS NOT ENGAGED. WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS START FLASHING, BRAKE LIGHTS WORK NORMAL. THIS TURN SIGNAL ISSUE APPLY ONLY WHEN TRAILER ELECTRIC CIRCUIT IS PLUNGED IN TO THE TRAILER CIRCUIT. MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE FLASHER UNIT FOR THE 2003 ENVOY VEHICLE TURN SIGNALS. IT APPEARS THE TRAILER CIRCUIT HAS A SIMILAR ISSUE. BOTH THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER WORK OFF THE SAME FLASHER MODULE. SEE RECALL 05V198000. I PLAN TO REPLACE THE FLASHER UNIT TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. IF YOU NEVER TOWED A TRAILER THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT BE DISCOVERED. WHEN TOWING A TRAILER DRIVER COULD BECOME CONFUSED WHEN YOUR MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THIS POTENTIALLY COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE TRAILER USED WAS A 5X10 FOOT SINGLE AXLE BOX TRAILER WITH FOUR WIRE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. I HAD NO ISSUES WHEN TOWED WITH A DIFFERENT MAKE OF TRUCK. I DID REPLACED BOTH TRAILER TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND ISSUE DID NOT CHANGE.

THE FUEL FILL LINE IS BROKEN FROM THE GAS TANK. I WAS FILLING THE TANK FOR HOLIDAY TRAVEL AND THE THE TANK BEGAN TO LEAK. EVERY TANK THAT IS ORDERED BY THE REPAIR SHOP IS DAMAGED IN THE SAME PLACE

BULLETIN NO.:14423 DATE: NOVEMBER 2015 PART NUMBER: 15077622 TANK, FUEL (18.7 GAL.) THE ICV IS LOCATED ABOVE THE FULL FUEL LEVEL. A FRACTURED ICV COULD ALLOW FUEL VAPORS TO PASS THROUGH AND DROPLETS OF FUEL TO ACCUMULATE ON THE SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK AS IT PASSES OVER THE FRACTURE DURING REFUELING. IF THE ICV FRACTURES, THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE ENGINE SOON (SES) LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE, AND YOU MAY NOTICE A FUEL ODOR AND/OR A FEW DROPS OF FUEL ON THE GROUND WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME AND NOW MY TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC ENVOY REGARDLESS OF YEAR OR HOW LONG THEY ARE IN SERVICE. THE COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR POOR QUALITY OF PARTS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAZARD WITH FUEL ODOR COMING INTO THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE AND SPILLING OUT WHEN GOING UP A HILL. BEING TOLD TO ONLY FILL MY GAS TANK UP HALF TO THREE QUARTERS FULL DUE TO THAT PART BEING BROKEN IS THE WRONG ANSWER. IN MOTION WHEN I SMELL GAS AND THEN NOTICE IT WHEN I FILL THE VEHICLE UP AND IT STARTED POURING OUT.

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE UNDER DASH SOMEWHERE WITHOUT VEHICLE BEING TURNED ON.

MY SPOUSE WAS DRIVING DOWN S/B ON RT 313 @ RT 290 MARYLAND. HE HIT A DEER AND ROLLED MY ENVOY AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY SON WAS IN FRONT PASSAGER SET WITH A SET BELT ON AND WHEN THE ENVOY ROLLED HIS SET BELT DID NOT HOLD HIM ON. MY SPOUSE TOLD ME THE ANIT-LOCK BREAKS DID NOT ENGAGE WHEN HE SLAM ON THE BREAKS .

2 YEARS AGO THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, WHEN CHECKED BY 2-3 MECHANICS THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE GAS CAP. THAT DIDN'T REMEDY THE SITUATION, THE LIGHT STAYED ON, THEN RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED DROPPING TO EMPTY AFTER A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF A TANK WAS USED. THEN FILLING THE GAS TANK CAUSED IT TO OVERFLOW IF YOU FILL IT TO FULL. AS OF TODAY THE CAR WHEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, SOMETHING CAME LOOSE INSIDE THE SHIFTER, NOW IT IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL.

NO DAMAGE TO TURN SIGNAL WHEN I TURN ON LEFT TURN SIGNAL SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WORK SOMETIMES I CAN MOVE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL COME ON FOR SECOND OTHER TIMES NOTHING HAVE TO TRY TO TURN OFF AND ON SOMETIMES WORKS SOMETIMES DOESN'T CAN NOT GET A GOOD REASON WHY WON'T WORK. HAVE AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE AT TROUBLE SHOOTING. ALSO NONSAFETY ISSUE CRUSE CONTROL ON BLINKER ON SAME SWITCH INTERMITTENT WORKING

DRIVER DOOR WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK ELECTRONICALLY BUT IF YOU TRY TO UNLOCK DOOR MANUALLY IT DOES NOT UNLOCK. IF CAR CRASHES PERSON COULD GET TRAPPED IF CAR IS ON FIRE COULD CAUSE A DEATH IF NO POWER TO ELECTRONIC LOCKS

WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR GARAGES THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY RUSTED AND DANGEROUS. WE HAVE 150,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

THE ELECTRIC WIRING FOR THE WINDOWS AND SIDE MIRRORS WILL START MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND WHEN I PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND TURN THE KEY JUST ONE TURN THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW GOES COMPLETELY DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP UNTIL IT IS DONE CLICKING AND TURNING THE HEATED SEATS ON AND OFF. THE REGULATOR IS NOT BROKE. ALSO THE SIDE MIRRORS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE PROGRAMMED WILL SOMETIMES JUST START MOVING AND ACT LIKE IT CANT MOVE ANYMORE AND MAKE A NOISE. THE MUSIC AND OR RADIO WILL GO OUT WHILE ITS TURNED ON, IT WILL CUT IN AND OUT AND THEN AFTER DRIVING A WHILE IT WONT CUT IN AND OUT. FOR THE WINDOW TO JUST ROLL DOWN IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER IT SAT ALL NIGHT. WONT GO BACK UP FOR AT LEAST 2 MINUTES AND YOU CAN SEE THE DOOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND CLICK.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND LEAKING FROM TOP OF TANK.

THE DASH CLUSTER DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, ALL THE LIGHTS TURN ON AND DOORS LOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING ON IN TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY , ALL THE GAUGES COME ON AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREETS AT RANDOM TIMES.. THE REAR HAS AIRBAGS IN THE SUSPENSION AND AND AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY, I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT HAD 30 CODES ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM

THE LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES AND DRAINS THE BATTERY. TWO BATTERIES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE CAR HAS HAD ROAD SERVICE JUMP STARTS 3 TIMES IN 2 WKS. THE LIGHTS COME ON THEMSELVES WHEN THEY'R'E OFF. THE ALTERNATOR WAS CHECKED AND IS GOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND 1 TIME IN A PARKING LOT.

GRADUAL COOLANT LOSS OVER TIME AND NO EVIDENCE OF LEAK. THIS WAS DUE TO A CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD THAT GM ADMITTED TO KNOWING ABOUT IN TSB 06-06-01-019B ON JUNE 12, 2007). COOLANT WAS SLOWLY LEAKING INTO THE OIL, BUT WAS UNNOTICEABLE UNTIL IT STARTED TO AFFECT OIL PRESSURE FROM THE OIL BECOMING SLUSHY AND RUINING THE ENGINE. THIS ENDED UP RESULTING IN RESULTED IN THE LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT SUDDENLY COMING ON AND THE CAR TO STOP RUNNING ON A HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE STARTED STEAMING AND THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. MECHANIC IS NOW SAYING THE ENGINE IS IN AN UNOPERABLE SHAPE DUE TO DRIVING WITH CONTINUED LOW OIL PRESSURE (NO LIGHT HAD APPEARED UNTIL DAY OF INCIDENT). GM HAD SENT OUT A BULLETIN ADMITTING TO THE ISSUE BUT DID NOTHING TO NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RECALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND/OR PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT. I HAD JUST PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION TO MY GMC ENVOY, EXPECTING IT TO LAST FOR YEARS.

CRACK IN FILLER NECK WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE GAS TANK.

IT STARTED WITH ENGINE MISFIRING CAUSING ENGINE TO JOLT WHICH DAMAGED #4 COIL PACK SEAL TO FAILED ALLOWING WATER INTRUSION. IN 2008, THE GMC MECHANIC REPLACED ALL SIX COILS SEALS BUT IN 2013-PRESENT P0440 ENGINE CODE IS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP). LOOSE FUEL TANK FILLER CAP IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE THAT TRIGGERS THE P0440 CODE. I FAILED A FEW SMOG CHECK SPENDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS YET MY PROBLEM STILL EXISTENCE.
