2002 GMC Envoy SLE review from Dominican Republic
"Needs a recall"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fan clutch bad (2 times) at 39,000 and now 42,700 miles.
General comments?
I love this SUV. Good ride (bad seats) but still like it. Just hating the fan-clutch issues.
GMC Envoy 2002 SLE, already replaced the fan-clutch at 39000 miles. It cost me close to $800 ($300+ for the new fan and $400+ for labor). The dealer installed "the new computer software". Anyway, now at 42700 miles, fan-clutch, the thermotast (this blew up) are broken.
The bad news, I shipped this Envoy to the Dominican Republic (already talking to the local Dealer). My question to all is, in observation of all the fan-clutch problems, does this require a RECALL? Now that I know about so many people having this problem, either the dealer and GMC refund me for the first fan-clutch and repair or replace with current one, OR I will definitely SUE them.
Has anyone taken this action? Thanks, jmaldo68@gmail.com
