2003 GMC Envoy Reviews - Page 6 of 10

My Envoy will not start sometimes. It just goes click. Sometimes if I move the shift up and down, it will start right up.

Sometimes I can't even move the shift at all, and it just clicks. All lights go on and everything is working, for example the radio etc.

I have to keep moving the key till finally there is another long click and it starts right up.

Sometimes it will start and stall right away, and then not start, just click. I then try turning till there is another click, and then it starts again and everything is fine.

Has anyone had this problem, and what needs to be fixed?

I love the car. It has had most of the same problems as I have read, but all and all, I love it and would like to keep it another three to four years.

Engine sounds like it is going to blow up. Fan clutch or something has been wrong since six months after purchase. Dealer says fan works and repair is not covered by the extended warranty that I purchased. It has been roaring for about 72,000 miles. Am I the only one that likes a quiet ride?

Everything else seems great about the 2003 Envoy, except the engine noise.

Noises in front end that were changed, strut, ball joints, tie rod ends, fan clutch, rear linkages, transmission overhaul, these were all in the last 6 months.

I still have a problem that I hope someone can help me with. There is no specific time when this happens, but when the vehicle is started and is put into gear and the gas pedal is pushed down, the engine revs up for 5-10 seconds, then slowly the vehicle starts to pick up speed, then everything is fine until the next random time it picks to do this again.

I have had this to the dealer 4 or 5 times, and of course they can't get it to do it, and their computer does not pick up any faults. Anyone had this problem??

The last thing is on a cold start it sounds like a diesel, then smoothes out 10 minutes into the ride and sounds quiet.

I bought this SUV for its style, HP, comfort and size.
