Body Problems of GMC Envoy - part 1

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.

This SUV made a loud sound, began to drift, in the rear, at hwy speeds before it tipped over and began to roll, ejecting my two minor sons from the passenger cab before it eventually landed on its side. The roof was molded in a triangular shape, preventing it from resting on the roof as it tilted back onto inside and remains after the last roll the triangular shape was created in the metal after the stabilizing structures gave way almost immediately providing possibly no protection to the patrons inside the carrier cab of SUV. Demonstrating its inability protect its occupants.

Parked vehicle in the garage and went in the house. Next morning went to use vehicle and found that the rear hatch glass had exploded. Glass everywhere.

We purchased our 2003 GMC Envoy xl sle 8 cylinder brand new at alden Buick in fairhaven, mass in July 2003; for the past 3 years we had it serviced at robertsson's GMC 2680 cranberry highway, wareham, mass. 02571,508-291-0044. We had it reconditioned at this dealership last year, spending $4000. 00; we had it inspected at this dealership with the massachusetts vehicle check; it passed the front end check and frame check on 8/4/17. I was driving the vehicle in late December, and hit several deep potholes caused by an ice storm; shortly thereafter I lost steering control of the vehicle. I had it towed to alden Buick/GMC in fairhaven, mass. To be told that the entire frame had collapsed due to extensive corrosion and rust. I had it towed to robertson's GMC in wareham and filed a claim with commerce ins. Co. To hopefully cover the damage to the frame; commerce denied the claim stating"the frame assembly was severely rotted and this extensive rot allowed the right front control arm to break awayfrom the mounting point on the frame rail. GMC issued a technical service bulletin stating that some Envoy models suffered from extensive frame corrosion. Why did robertson's GMC pass the vehicle on the safety check, and why was I not informed of the vehicle's frame corrosion before I spent the $4000. 00 reconditioning it? why is frame check and front end check listed as pass on my vehicle when this corrosion and rust was present at time of insspection? fortunately neither I nor any of my family members were injured while driving/riding in this vehicle.

I had three cars in front of me stopped. I did not see any breakl lights and I hit the car in front of me pushing the other cars to hit each other. My front end of my car was severely damaged bad enough to damage the radiator and destroy my ac unit. I'm not sure what else was damaged.

My GMC Envoy was parked unattended in my driveway directly next to my house. My sons and I were in the backyard playing when my oldest son went to retrieve his ball from the driveway. He came back screaming mom your truck is on fire. I immediately ran over to see the truck full of fire and smoke. I called 911. The truck damage was already done before the firefighters arrived. It appeared to come from the driver side window area. After doing some research I learned a lot of GMC trucks had recalls on certain parts that could put the vehicle at risk for a for setting it's self on fire. I never received any information on recalls for the window switch or was aware of the national recall until I looked into it the evening of the fire. I strongly believe the window switch is what caused the fire. It had to be a defective product made by the manufacturing company.

I took vehicle to GMC dealer for an unrelated gm special service program and upon removal of the fuel tank, they found extensive rust-through adjacent to where the tank mounts to the frame. They said the "vehicle is not safe to be driven" yet it has only 100,000 miles and its exterior appears almost like-new. Dealer feels the design of the tank being mounted against the frame caused road salt, etc to get trapped where it cannot be cleaned out by undercarriage car washes. I recently contacted GMC but my complaint has not been resolved to my satisfaction. I suspect there are thousands of Envoy/trailblazer (xl) models still on the road with this hidden "cancer".
