What owners wrote

The 2003 envoy we purchased gave us numerous problems, including a number of the ones other owners mentioned here, like the glass liftgate that does not operate properly, various electrical problems, but especially the outside rear view mirrors that move on their own no matter how many times they were supposedly fixed by service technicians. They do not stay in the position we set them in, and the fuel tank leaking is very dangerous as well as inhaling freon because of malfunctioning A/C system.

2003 GMC envoy xl fuel leak, my 2003 envoy xl developed a smell of gas, became stronger as time went by. The vehicle was taken to a GMC dealer, who found that the fuel pump module was leaking because of corrosion. We had to have the fuel pump module replaced at a cost of $953.10. The vehicle had 40,754 miles on it, and is 4 years old. The old part is not avaliable, the dealer kept it (mike smith buick GMC transit road lockport n.y.)
