#75 of 145 2003 Envoy XL by bryan200k Jun 22, 2005 (6:49 am)
We bought a 2003 Envoy XL in May of 03. Now have 31,000 miles on it. The only problems that we've had have been minor. The seal around the license plate needed replaced twice. A sensor related to the 4wd came on and turned out it was a falty sensor. We bought the Envoy on a Friday night and the next morning discovered that there were bubbles in the paint on the one rear quarter panel. Took it back for repainting and when we picked it up, apparantly before the paint was dry, dirt and dust got on the paint job and there were bumps all over the panel. On the next try, we picked it up and there were now scratches all thru the paint. Were we ever mad. The body shop manager said that the guys washing the vehicle must have scratched. I didn't care who scratched it - I wanted to fixed. But... despite these few problems, we love the Envoy. The XL is needed for our family. My wife is the primary driver, and she does a lot of hauling of 'stuff' as well as people (mostly kids). This replaced her Caravan and she calls the Envoy "her van". We bought a road trailer for hauling our snow blowers and lawn movers. My son has a summer job of mowing peoples lawns and in the winter blowing out his pappy's driveway. I've even used the Enovy-n-Trailer to haul rubish to the land fill. On one occasion, my father was driving his 3/4 ton truck and me the Envoy with the trailer. It had rained for 3 days previous. Father got stuck in the 1 foot deep mud. Our Envoy pulling a 5x8 trailer loaded down, went thru the mud so easy. The ride is nice and easy. Handles well in the rain and snow. Is roomy. We once squeezed 7 adults and 1 child in it. MPG is between 16 to 18.

Replying to: thecrusers (May 23, 2005 5:45 pm) Since we purchased our Envoy XL new 2 years ago we have had the following problems (estimated at 20+ times back to the dealer) – tail lights replaced – wiper motor replaced – had to replace the front struts – both rear doors internal parts replaced (this was an ordeal in and of it’s self – the doors would not always open - at least 10 visits alone before it was finally fixed) and now the SES (Service Engine Soon) light is on due to a crack in the fuel line going to the tank – we have been told that a sensor is picking up a vapor leak.   Up until this SES light issues everything has been covered under warranty (we are over 40k in miles) – we have been told that this problem will cost $900 to correct. Seeing that there are other problems that we have not had…. YET…. I would be interested in finding out more about this attorney and others that may be in my situation….

Replying to: envoyxllemon (Jul 11, 2005 12:47 pm) You had an SES light also? I have an 04 Envoy, and it has been in the shop five times in the last three months, for the SAME problem. I have had a rental car now for a week, and the dealership has not even contacted me to let me know what the problem is! What sort of rights do I have under the Lemon Law? Do you know of a lawyer that can help? Replies to this message: KarenS (Jul 18, 2005 11:33 am)
#78 of 145 Clicking noise behind instrument panel by ronicito Jul 17, 2005 (1:53 pm)
I've had my 2002 Envoy in the shop 3 times for a clicking noise behind the instrument panel that is fairly loud. The dealer ususally says theat they can not replicate it and just reporgram the A/C.   Has anyone else had this problem? What do you have to do to get the GM delaership to acutally work for their money?

#80 of 145 New Envoy Questions by cdh1 Jul 25, 2005 (6:19 am)
Hi guys, we just bought an '05 Envoy Denali, with the 5.3l V8 engine. really like the vehicle so far. Noticed a couple things on the drive home that seemed abnormal, so i'd thought i'd poke around the community to see if others have the same thing:   1) Lack of Instant Mileage readout on the DIC. scroll thru the mileage readouts, you get fuel remaining, fuel used and avg fuel economy, but no Instant MPG. i know the current Tahoes/Yukon's have this feature. Doesn't the Envoy Denali?   2) engine temperature. Engine temp runs about 210-220. seems a little warm to me, i was expecting 190-200. anyone else with this setup?   thanks in advance!! i called the dealer, and got the standard "oh, thats normal" answer. didn't instill much confidence.
#82 of 145 Envoy Starter Problems? by ihuskens Aug 23, 2005 (10:42 am)
My friend and I both bought a 2004 Envoy XUV around the same time. She had to get her starter replaced at 15,000 miles. I recently hit 13,000 and I write this posting as I am waiting for a tow truck. My starter is out now. It is still under warranty but what a hassle. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Replying to: envoy02 (Jun 03, 2005 2:37 am) I have a 02 Envoy with an expired warranty and the engine just went as well. It is at the dealers. Has anyone had this happen and how was this handled at the dealers? Any warranty or coverage in any way? Replies to this message: envoysucker (Feb 07, 2006 11:04 am)

Replying to: ladymeisner (Oct 21, 2004 11:06 am) I'm having the same AC problem...musty smell, and the AC does not adequately cool the cabin, even with the window behind the rear seat up.   Did you ever find a solution?
