Two problems related to paint have been reported for the 2003 GMC Envoy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Heavy clear coat and paint issues. Clear coat chipping, peeling and flaking off of paint, paint fading. The problem is severe, and happens in a very short amount of time.
6 years after new purchase and approximately 70,000 miles, rust bubbles started appearing around the lower inside edges of all five doors. No actual rust was visible until dealer manager pealed a small area of bubbling paint off with a knife and exposed the rust underneath. Gm would not take responsibility for the paint defect, had to pay out of pocket for dealer to sand and repaint. Rust protection warranty was not honored because no rust-through had occurred yet.
