NHTSA Complaint #10140186 — 2003 GMC GMC TRUCK

I NOTICED SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2003 GMC ENVOY THAT THE MOTOR WOULD RACE IN THE AM UPON STARTING. I TOOK THIS AS NORMAL UNTIL THE RACING NEVER STOPPED ONE DAY. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THE FAN CLUTCH HAD FAILED AND REPAIRED IT FOR OVER 700$. UPON RESEARCH LATER ON THIS PART I NOTICED PEOPLE SAYING THESE ARE FAILING AT A REGULAR BASIS. NOW, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT I THINK HAD I NOT THE KNOWLEDGE I DO OF AUTOMOBILES, I WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND POSSIBLY COULD HAVE HAD A MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE OF SOME SORTS. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS INCIDENT ON THE ROADS. MY VEHICLE HAD ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. NOT MANY, CONSIDERING THE IMPORTANT OF OPERATION OF THIS PART. *NM
