2003 GMC Envoy Problems

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 .

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE ABS BRAKES WARNING LIGHT AND THE FEEL OF THE BRAKES WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, REACHIBG 5MPH, THE BRAKES PERFORMANCE IS FEELING A RESISTANT ANDJERKY. IT IS AS IF THE BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPING. THE WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH SAYS, "SERVICE ABS BRAKES." THIS IS A RATHER SCAREY FEEL COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDDLE.

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

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.

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

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

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, I PRESSED THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP . I HIT CAR THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL TO STOP THE CAR. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER, THE CAUSE WAS A INTERNALLY SHORTED THROTTLE BODY. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME CAR ACCELERATED ON OWN AND WOULD NOT STOP. THE FIRST TWO TIMES MY MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM.

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

2003 GMC ENVOY WITH A LIST OF PROBLEMS **NAR**CC THE CONSUMER BEGAN TO HEAR A KNOCKING AND PINGING IN THE ENGINE ON COLD STARTS AND FELT A HESITATION WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO GEAR. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS, IT WAS FINALLY DISCOVERED THE ENGINE KNOCK WAS DUE TO SHORTER PISTONS IN THE RE-DESIGNED ENGINE AND THE HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD HE WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE ENGINE KNOCK, BECAUSE IT COULD BE MORE TROUBLE TAKING THE ENGINE APART. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE ENGINE STALLED DUE TO THE BATTERY DYING. FROM APRIL 2004 TO OCTOBER 2004 THE BATTERY FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO BE RE-CHARGED. DURING THAT SAME TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND EACH TIME IT HAPPENED, THE DEALER WOULD HAVE TO REPROGRAM THE ENGINE COMPUTER. THE RADIO WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHICH PRIMARILY CONSISTED OF STATIC. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER CONTROL KNOBS AS WELL AS THE RADIO KNOBS WORE OUT. THE FRONT CENTER CONSOLE WAS LOOSE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT SMELLED GASOLINE, BUT DID NOT PAY IT ANY ATTENTION INITIALLY. HIS SON ENTERED THE VEHICLE LATER AND ALSO SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE TANK WITH GASOLINE AND THE SMELL INTENSIFIED. WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME, HE NOTICED A FUEL LEAK BY THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE LEAK ORIGINATED FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHERE THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTS. THE CONTACT DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY STATED THAT THE LEAK ORIGINATED FROM THE GAS TANK, AND IT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALER.

THE IGNITION SWITHC SHORTED OUT.

2 COMPLAINTS NOTICED ENGINEE RUNNING HOT, ADDED FLUID TO RADIATOR, NEAR EMPTY. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, SAME THING. 3 MONTHS LATER, DURING OIL CHANGE, MECHANIC INDICATED WHILE DOING CHECKS THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LOW. TOLD HIM THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME, HE ADDED FLUID, PRESSURE CHECKED RADIATOR - NO HOLES OR LEAKS. SEEMS TO BE EVAPORATING. AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING HOT AIR (EXCLUDING THE FACT THE PANEL WITH AC CONTROLS QUICK WORKING A LOOOONNG TIME AGO). TOOK IN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. AFTER $600 AND ALL DAY VISIT WITH DEALER, THE PIECE BROKEN WAS THE SIZE OF A 2"-4" BLOCK OF PLASTIC. THIS LITTLE PIECE JUST QUICK WORKING, IT WAS REFERRED AS A CONTROL SWITCH OF SOME SORT UNDER THE DASH BOARD. SOUNDED KINDA HOKEY TO ME - I CAN IMAGINE A COMPRESSOR GOING OUT AND YOU DO NOT HAVE COLD AIR - THE NAME OF IT ESCAPES ME - BUT THE MECHANIC DID INDICATE THERE WAS SOME SORT OF TECHNICAL REPORT OUT THERE ON IT AS WELL. JUST FOUND OUT FROM HUSBAND THE NAME OF THE PIECE - THE ACTUATOR DOOR QUIT. *JB
