GMC Envoy owners have reported 3 problems related to water pump (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Gas sending unit/fuel pump lines rot out due to corrosion and spray gasoline all over the underside of vehicle. The vehicle might stall but often times it keeps running, all while spraying gasoline all over the place. This one does not even trip a check engine light while running in this condition. The only warning was the smell of gasoline- some people do not have a sense of smell, and this could have been very dangerous. This is a fire waiting to happen. This corrosion issue is known to gm, why is this not a safety recall? this let loose on my sister in-law while driving, it could have resulted in explosion or serious fire. Gm knows that these rot out prematurely due to poor materials and combined with road salt and environmental effects in snow states. This vehicle also suffers from the driver door switch for door locks and windows not always working, due to shorting out from water. . . Again a known issue with "some" units of this year, but this has not been recalled on this particular "unit" yet. Some of these have shorted out and caused fires- combined with the leaky gas sending units, this is a serious safety hazard. Do not park this vehicle in a garage- a fire waiting to happen. . . Come on- make gm take care of these problems before someone gets killed. This truck was at a dealer for the fuel leak, they told her it needs a sender unit and a bunch of other things that have failed on this poorly built truck, which include wheel bearings, abs sensors. Steering wheel sensor (? really) inop door locks, leaking fuel, water pump leaking, failing headlights- that work when they want, and a whole bunch of other repairs. This fuel and electrical issue(s) should be immediately recalled. This is affecting a lot of people who live in the northern states with snow and salt on the roadways.

Everything started April last year and its one thing after another since. First my engine started stalling, while driving. One incident, I lost half a tank of gas within a 15 minute ride, which I have a 17 gallon tank. Then while driving on an expressway, it suddenly dropped from 70 to 20 before I could get over two lanes to get out of the way of traffic. Ive cleaned the throttle body, ive cleaned the camshaft actuator, ive replaced the air filter, fuel filter, and the oil twice within a 8 month period, and yet it still continues to stall. Now I recently change the water pump to see if that would help, even though my car was not over heating, now its stalling even worse; I cant even make it through a drive through without having to start it twice. Second and even scarrier issue, I hit pot hole one day and before I could make 15 miles, I heard grinding. A cv joint had to be replaced, then two days after that the other cv joint broke off and broke my front axle disconnect assembly. Did I hit anybody? no thank god I was in the right hand lane and could get over without hitting anyone or causing injury to myself. Ive replaced both cv joints and the assembly now and even did the struts while I was at it, but have also been told I need control arms now. And still my car is stalling, grinding when I turn and I cant get the check engine light to clear long enough to get it inspected. My drivers side windshield works when it wants to and now the car is starting to vibrate unbelievably. Ive kept my oil changed, ive kept my filters changed, ive never taken this thing off road and have had it over 7 years and just in the last year I have dumped more money in this car than I have since ive owned it.
