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.

2002 GMC Envoy slt 60k. . . Went outside to start car and had a loud swishing sound. . . Tried to put in reverse. . . Would not go. . . Had to push out to get to work. . . Extremely high rpms (3500-4500) to get through first. . . It also is jumping gears. . . If you try to go over 50 mph the car will redline. . . Was told reverse reaction shell/sun shell gear. . . They had a bunch of names for it. . . Was defective and failed. . . We never towed w/ this vehicle, never got stuck (the gm service pro stated that this was possibly the reason for failure). . . The vehicle is maybe driven 10k miles a year. . . We have had nothing but problems w/ this thing. . . We already have replaced the clutch fan last year. . . And had numerous little problems since. . . All the posts I have read clearly shows there needs to be a recall. . . The prices I have seen on posts is ridiculous to repair the transmission. . . $2k to $3k. . . So for now it is sitting in my driveway. . . I will get the quote this week from my mechanic and am not looking forward to it.

Consumer had all of the weather proofing on the vehicle replaced by the dealer as well as the clutch assembly . The fan clutch was replaced, the air bag indicator light came on. The consumer was told that nothing could be done if the light wasn't on at the time. The plastic trim from the seat belt broke, the seat belt failed again, the transmission would drag, the engine light was on and made a grinding noise,the drivers side tire was loosing pressure, the passenger inner door seal leaked, the clock on the radio would reset itself, the drivers side seat belt would lock up when the brakes were applied they would skid and pull to the right.
