Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
