Explore the 2002 GMC Envoy

Very Satisfied with my Envoy

I have a 2003 GMC ENVOY that I purchased in December of 2002. I traded in a 2000 GMC JIMMY. The Envoy, when I purchased, had 12 miles on it. Currently, it has 347,000(++) miles. I've replaced the differential and (2) transmissions. The engine is still running sweet and I maintain the car myself to cut down on labor charges for repairs (I’m a DIYer’). This SUV has been nothing but stout and reliable. A few things in the interior need replacing but as it goes with 22 year old truck. I can only say good things about my Envoy.

Too many things gone wrong to count!

Looks and feels good to drive but caught fire out of nowhere on the passenger front door panel, only drives now in 2nd gear, which means that it can only go 30mph maximum. Somehow the sunroof parts just started dropping out from between the outer body and the interior headliner. And the trim of the back hatch plastic has been breaking away. I’m not sure why I’d what causes it, but around the upper tail light the black plastic that holds everything together is breaking away. Also- the water pump needs to be replaced now.

Great Car

I bought it new in 2001. Best car I have ever owned.Only problem I had was Coil was getting wet and shorting out. Took awhile to figure out but I replaced the hood seal with a new style , now no more problem. Because of the price of gas I am thinking of getting a new EV car. I ill then put this car in the garage .next to my restored 51 Mercury.

never get attatched to a vehicle

I have owned a 2002 of which the repairs started adding up. The owner pryor to myself, kept detailed records indicating the need to replace the water pump 4 times. may have just been the pump manufacture because luckily it was no problem when i owned it. I had installed the complete front suspension hardware with rotors and brake systems. it rolled like a dream until the air conditioning system needed dealership savvy (bad idea) after 2509 for complete system replaced. ok, now meeting my daughter flying into LAX, in the evening, the complete dashboard went dead as the headlights as well . i had to pull over before i caused and accident to check fuses and wiring. everything was intact and fuses good. i get in to start it, of course everythings back to normal. this was beginning to happen more often of course at night. and i recommend an auto electric professional not affiliated with the dealerships . this is why; it costs 125.00 to diagnose the problem over the course of the whole business day only to be informed the problem needed a special diagnostic thing a ma jig for additional 850.00 to actually locate the problem. i dont think so. so the thought of giving the vehicle away was better on my conscience than selling the problem. So i gave it to charity and never looked back.

Piece of crap

This is the biggest piece of crap and a waste of money I have ever had. Door panel falling off with cheap plastic. And door only opens from the outside. Back window won't stay rolled up. A.c. out. Eats gas like crazy.....i hate this vehicle

2002 Envoy SLT 200,000 miles

I have owned this SUV from new. I can’t say enough great things about this vehicle. Best I’ve ever owned. Typical replacement of wear items but no issues with engine, transmission, differential, etc. The body has not one spec of rust on it and the inside is like new. Undercoating, wax, and TLC is key for keeping this vehicle for so long. Going on 20 years !!
