2003 GMC Envoy complaints

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY. TWO YEARS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING. IT NOW DOES NOT KEEP THE SPEED AT ALL. MY RPM (WHEN IN PARK) WILL REV UP TO 2 OR 3RPM, MY GAS GAUGE HAS NOW STARTED TO SOMETIMES NOT SHOW I HAVE ANY GAS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME, MY AIR CONDITIONER WILL BLOW OUT THE BACK VENT AND BARELY COME OUT OF THE FRONT VENT WHEN I HAVE IT UP FULL BLAST. AND TO TOP IT OFF MY BACK BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT.. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS FORUMS WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SOME OF THESE SAME ISSUES BUT NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL. I DEFINITELY THINK THESE BAD INSTRUMENT PANELS CALL FOR A RECALL!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO CUT A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC OVER THE SPEEDOMETER AND BEFORE IT QUIT COMPLETELY WORKING WHEN WE WOULD GO ON VACATION, WE WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON BUSY HIGHWAYS EVERY 20 MINUTES OR SO TO SET THE SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO SO IT WOULDN'T SHOW ME GOING 120MPH. OF COURSE I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT NOW. I'M JUST AMAZED I HAVEN'T ENDED UP WITH A TICKET FOR MY SPEED OR MY RUNNING OR BRAKE LIGHTS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE ENVOY IN TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO A GM DEALER. I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN THIS WEEK TO HAVE AIR WORKED ON AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY OVER $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR IN A CAR THAT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. PLEASE HELP!! *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER IS FAILING. MY SPEEDOMETER HAS TOTALLY QUIT WORKING.MY GAS GAUGE IS STARTING TO FAIL ALSO. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT GMC HAS ADMITTED THE STEPPING MOTORS ARE DEFECTIVE, ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GAUGES FOR MY 2003 GMC ENVOY. A CLASS LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED, ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET .ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET,THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2003-2007 GMC'S. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS APPX. $800.00. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT KNOWING MY CORRECT SPEED, DUE TO THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. SOON I WILL NOT KNOW ....HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY GMC. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET MY OTHER GAUGES WILL SOON FAIL. I PURCHASED MY GMC BRAND NEW FOR $38,000. I FEEL MY GMC ENVOY IS UNSAFE, DUE TO THE REASONS I HAVE JUST LISTED. I FEEL GMC SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO OPERATE THE GMC LIKE THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE FAILURE IS CONSTANT...NO SPEEDOMETER. THIS COULD CAUSE MY TO DRIVE OVER THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT WITH OUT MY KNOWLEDGE, WHICH IS UNSAFE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS YET. AT THIS TIME I CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *TR

FAILURE OF 2003 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER HAD NOT WORKED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, AND RECENTLY ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS OVER 70,000 MILES; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER HAD OFFERED TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING A JET LIKE SOUND ON START UP AND WHILE DRIVING AND EVENTUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT ALSO WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND FROM THE ELECTRONIC HEATING UNIT. I TOOK IT IN TO A CERTIFIED GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CLUTCH FAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (EXPENSIVE REPAIR). COULD NOT TELL WHERE THE CLICKING WAS COMING FROM AT THE TIME (1/6/11 CLICKING WILL NOT STOP - ENDED UP BEING A DOOR ACTUATOR). I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THESE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE VERY COMMON IN THESE VEHICLE. I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE AT A LITTLE OVER 59000 MILES THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD. I WISH GMC WOULD CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AS WELL AS OTHER MAJOR THINGS.

THE ODOMETER HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR 2 YEARS IT WILL WORK AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. I WOULD BE GOING IN SPEEDS OF OVER 50MPH AND THE ODOMETER WOULD READ 20MPH. OR I WOULD GO ABOUT 30MPH IT WOULD READ100MPH OR OVER. IT WILL ERRATICALLY DO THIS. SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM YET. IT IS WORKING RIGHT NOW. *TR

I HAVE 03 GMC ENVOY THAT I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS LATELY AND NOT SEEN ANY GAS LEAKING. THE GAS ODOR GRADUALLY HAS BEEN GETTING STRONGER AND STRONGER. EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO TELL THAT THERE IS A GAS LEAK, BUT IS ONLY LEAKING A SMALL AMOUNT WHILE THE TRUCK IS RUNNING. NOW MY ENVOY REEKS OF GASOLINE ALL THE TIME OUTSIDE AND SOMETIMES INSIDE WHEN THE HEAT IS ON AND IDLING. SEEMS THE GAS POOLS ON AN INDENT ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK AND WHEN I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY(DOWN A STEEP HILL AND SHARP TURN) IT ALL POURS OUT. SEEMS THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME TYPE PROBLEMS. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A BAD DESIGN ON GM'S BEHALF.......MAYBE THEY WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. I WONDER IF THEY STILL PRODUCE THEM LIKE THIS? I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS AFFECTS SO MANY OTHER MODELS. YIKES! THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DANGER OR GOT STUCK WITH A LOFTY REPAIR BILL. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED A CODE PO 442. THIS CODE IS INDICATIVE OF A FUEL SYSTEM LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM. REPLACED GAS CAP. PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. FILLED VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IN OCTOBER 2010 AND SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IS PRESENT. EACH TIME FUEL NOZZLE FAILS TO SHUT OFF FUEL FROM GASOLINE PUMP AND GASOLINE IS SPILLED ON THE GROUND NEAR PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR CREATING AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE NEVER IN ACCIDENT OR MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. VEHICLE HAS 62,000 MILES. A COURTESY GENERAL MOTORS REPAIR PROGRAM IS IN PLACE FOR THESE VEHICLES IF THE LONG WHEELBASE MODELS. NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES IN THE SHORT WHEELBASE MODELS ALSO. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ACCORDING TO THE GM DEALER THAT SERVICES THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY WANT OVER $1500 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND THE TANK UNIT WHICH INCLUDES THE FUEL PUMP, GAUGE, AND HOSE CONNECTIONS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE THAT SETS THE CHECK ENGINE LAMP, OR THE PROBLEM OF GASOLINE LEAKAGE/SPILLAGE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION AND THEREFORE IS NOT ALLOWED ON THE ROAD. A FORCED RECALL SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE MADE FOR THESE VEHICLES. AT A COST OF OVER $35,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THE HAZARDS IT REPRESENTS, IT IS A TOTAL TRAVESTY THAT GM REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY. AT FIRST MY RPM NEEDLE STARED TO MOVE UP FASTER THEN WHAT I WAS GOING FOR ABOUT A MONTH. WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS LETTING OUT A VACUUM NOISE. NOW IT'S BEEN A MONTH AND A HALF AND MY MPH IS NOT WORKING. IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON 80 MPS WHILE I'M SETTING AND GOES PAST 120 WHILE I'M DRIVING. ALSO THE GAS GAGE IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF GAS THAT'S IN THE TANK. I HOPE SOON THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER, BECAUSE EACH GAGE IS GOING OUT ONE BY ONE. I HOPE THIS WOULD BE A VEHICLE SAFETY HAZARD SINCE YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. THANK YOU

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS TURNED ON. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ON UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL TANK TUBE WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

STRONG SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHEN CODE IS CHECKED... STATES SMALL EMISSION LEAK PRESENT. UPON DOING A LITTLE WEB RESEARCH FIND IT TO BE CAUSED BY A LEAKING FUEL TANK. APPEARS TO HAVE A RECALL ON TANK FOR XL MODEL WHICH INTURN IS THE SAME TANK BUT THE SLE MODEL IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. IF ORIGINAL RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR SAFETY CONCERN WHY NOT COMPLY FOR ALL MODELS. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. GAS FUMES WERE NOTICED COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC GAS TANK NEAR THE FILLER NECK. WAS TOLD THAT GM HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS BUT NO RECALLS OR REPAIR BULLETINS. THEREFORE, SINCE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1350.00 FOR REPAIRS. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE PLASTIC GAS TANKS AND REPLACING THEM AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE! NOTE: VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OR USED FOR OFF-ROAD DRIVING OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. GAS TANK SHOULD NOT HAVE CRACKED. ALSO, I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE SO IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER FAMILY. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT. VEHICLE SLOWS TO 20 MPH LOSING POWER. MY DAUGHTER WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS SHE LOST POWER IN THE INTERSECTION. THANKFULLY, THE ONCOMING VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO STOP. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT MAY STICK IN ONE SPOT. OTHER TIMES IT IS CONSISTENTLY OFF BY A GIVEN SPEED. THE NEXT DAY IT MAY BE WORKING FINE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AS THE VEHICLE AGES. THE INTERNET IS LITTERED WITH OTHERS ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT LOOKS LIKE A US DISTRICT COURT AWARDED OWNERS OF MANY OTHER GM MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE A SETTLEMENT (SEE HTTP://WWW.GMSPEEDOMETERRECALL.COM/). THE ENVOY WAS NOT INCLUDED, ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE IS THE SAME. COST FOR REPAIRING IS APPARENTLY IN THE $700 RANGE. AS FOR CONSEQUENCES, I SEE 2 POSSIBILITIES. I COULD RECEIVE AN UNWARRANTED SPEEDING TICKET. THE OTHER CONSEQUENCE IS THE MAJOR DISTRACTION IT CAUSES. THE ONLY WAY TO TELL IF IT IS WORKING AT TIMES IS TO WATCH IT CLOSELY. IF THE NEEDLE ISN'T MOVING WHEN I ACCELERATE I KNOW NOT TO TRUST IT. DRIVERS SHOULDN'T BE STARING AT THEIR SPEEDOMETER WHEN DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH APPROACHING A STOP SIGNAL THERE WAS A SLIGHT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FAN CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER 20,000 MILES AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAN CLUTCH BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. RECENTLY, THE IDENTICAL FAILURE OCCURRED FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TRADE-IN THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD OFFER HER A $1,400 CERTIFICATE. THE CONTACT WAS DISPLEASED WITH THE RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE WAS CONCERN OF A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

HELLO, I AM SECOND OWNER OF GMC ENVOY SLE 2003 CAR. COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE LIGHT CHECK ENGINE SOON STARTED APPEARS AND DISAPPEAR AFTER FILLING GAS AND SEVERAL TRIPS. JUNE THIS YEAR I WENT TO DEALER SERVICE FROM WHERE I BUY THE CAR THREE YEARS AGO .THEY FIXED SOME THING (HOUSING AND / OR GASKET, THERMOSTAT REPLACE AND FOR CAMPAIGN 07076: FUEL SENDER MODULE UPDATE T5714 FUEL SENDER ASSY REPLACEMENT AND ETC). AFTER 600 MILES THE LIGHT APPEARS AGAIN AND STAYS STEADY. I CALLED TO MY DEALER, BUT NOW THE DEALER IS OUT OF BUSINESS. I WENT TO OTHER SERVICE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAD ME THAT THE REASON FOR THE LIGHT ON IS THE CAR HAS GAS TANK LEAKING NEAR FUEL FILLER TUBE AREA MAY BE FROM CORROSION OR CRACK AND THAT'S MEAN NEAR $1500 FOR BRAND NEW TANK AND SERVICE AND COUPLE DAYS FOR DELIVERY THE TANK. BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTOOD VERY WELL THE EXPLANATIONS AND DIDN'T KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THIS LEAKING IS I LEFT VERY UPSET WITHOUT REPAIRED. I CALLED TO GMC TO ASK: IS IT NORMAL FOR 7-TH YEAR OLD CAR TO CHANGE THE GAS TANK. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. (AFTER OWN THE CAR, THREE YEAR AGO, I DIDN'T HIT IT.) FOLLOW DISCUSSION WITH TWO DEPARTMENTS AND AFTER ALL I UNDERSTOOD: THIS IS MY PROBLEM AND RESPONSIBILITY IS MINE. THAT IS IT. THANK YOU. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY FILLER NECK LEAKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS A RECALL. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IT HAD THIS ISSUE BUT THE RECALL IS FOR THE XL MODEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HOW CAN THEY MESS AROUND WITH LEAKING GAS? IT IS A 1200+ REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY WITH APPROX 95,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I WENT TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED THERE WAS A "BANG" SO I PULLED OVER TO LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK, AND MADE SURE NOTHING HAD FALLEN OFF. I GOT BACK IN THE S.U.V. AND MADE MY WAY BACK HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THERE WAS NO REVERSE. I CALLED A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO THE SUNSHELL GEAR. ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE POST ONLINE, SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE AMONG ENVOY'S AND TRAILBLAZER. I CHECKED THE FLUID AND IT APPEARS TO BE FINE, NOT LOW, NOT BURNT, AND STILL RED AND CLEAN. *TR

THROAT OF GAS TANK LEAKING ON A 2003 ENVOY. REVIEWING INTERNET, FOUND MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE ENVOY'S AND STATED IN 2007 THAT NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING. MECHANIC STATED VERY UNUSUAL TO LEAK IN THAT SPOT. ALSO, HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEAD LIGHT SOCKETS DUE TO BURNING UP. HAVE TALKED TO MANY ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

SPEEDOMETER AND DASHBOARD FAILURE ON 2003 GMC ENVOY OCCURRING SPONTANEOUSLY AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. GM DEALER WOULD REPLACE FOR $350 PLUS LABOR LAST JANUARY WHEN VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 70,000.00. UNABLE TO AFFORD THIS COST AFTER A GENERAL SERVICE, HOWEVER THE COMPLAINT IS FILED WITH GM DEALERSHIP IN JAN 2009. CAR IS NOW OVER 70,000.MILES. I AM REALIZING THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS. IS THERE A COMMITMENT FROM GM THAT THEY WILL REPAIR THIS ISSUE FOR CARS WITH MILEAGE UNDER 70,000.00? I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RE-CALL REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. PLEASE DIRECT ME WITH THE APPROPRIATE ACTION MEASURES SO THAT I MAY REMEDY THIS SITUATION PROMPTLY. *TR

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".

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

2003 GMC ENVOY WITH 65,000 MILES I HAVE A SPEEDOMETER THAT IS ERRATIC IN READING SPEED. GETS STUCK AT 35 MPH AS "0" OR REGISTERS -10 MPH FROM ACTUAL SPEED.

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY AND THE SPEEDOMETER ACTS ERRATICALLY, AND IS NEVER CORRECT. I'VE RESEARCHED IT AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT, AND FROM OTHER INTERNET USERS MESSAGES ON SITES, THERE ARE A LOT OF GM VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM!! I DON'T PERSONALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED, THAT AND I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE MY PROBLEM TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT EITHER, GM PUT A BAD PART IN THE VEHICLES SO I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
