This might help your stalling engine.

Great vehicle. I purchased it at 200,000 miles for $1,500 and I’m still using it at 245,000 miles. I’ve seen a lot of reviews about the engine stalling with no mechanics being able to solve the problem. It’s the catalytic converter. It clogs and the exhaust fumes can’t escape. You can disconnect the exhaust section with the catalytic converter and drive it around to see if that is the problem. I can’t tell you how to fix it but I’ll just say I get 2 mpg more now that I “fixed” it and my Envoy smells like a boat.

Very smooth ride but poor electronics and gas.

My gmc envoy was very comfortable. Like gliding on a boat. Big strong powerful engine. But gas gusler and electronics broke down in mine. I had to replace fuel pump, head gasket, ac compressor, and much more after 198,000 miles. Had to let it go when engine start randomly stalling. No check engine lights. Very strange. But anyway if looking nice smooth riding SUV consider used 2003 envoy. Just put aside money for repairs.

Used Buyer Beware

Purchased used at 200K miles 7 years ago. Have put 50K on since, so very light use in spots for winter driving or towing a pop-up for fishing trips. In that time, have replaced the following: Transmission seal, rack & pinion, fan clutch, fuel tank, wheel bearing, complete transmission, power steering cooler, entire front end (ball joints, tie rods, sway bar links), 4wd switch, 4wd actuator motor and alternator. That is on top of normal tires, brakes/rotors, etc. Tows well and 4WD is good when needed. No engine issues. Gauges are all shot. Save your money and buy a Sequoia..

Need to know what to use for the AC to get colder

I like the ride it let me sit up high and it is good for my back because I have a bad back. And the leg room is good but need to make my AC cooler

This is the BEST vehicle I've ever owned!

After owning multiple brands, I finally bought this used 2003 Envoy 6 years ago. My baby is 16 years old and has NEVER done me wrong! GMC needs to bring these back!!! It is the perfect size SUV. I love how luxury it is for an amazing price. After being told my less than 7 year old Jeep needs a new engine, I am going back to my Envoy as my daily driver after I replace the door due to an accident. Hands down, most amazing vehicle I've ever owned!

So many problems after owning it for 1 year

This suv has driver seat wire issues and no electric controls on passenger, my CD player doesn't work amd most disappointing is it has an admission issue needing spark plug and coal I think that causes my gas to go through fast, it only goes 200 Miles on a full tank and the gas gauge has stopped working so I don't know how much gas it in it casing me to run out with my 2 kids. The passenger seat belt tighten so u can get it loose ever when in gear and all the bottoms for the driver seat doesn't work. It also jumps when putting in amd out of 4 wheel drive and I've needed to do the ball joints and tie rods and tires always loosing air. Also the car stalls or doesn't want to excelerate good and bogs when towing and one back light doesn't work when towing.
