2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

RAN OUT OF GAS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING HALF FULL (VEHICLE HAD APPROX 50K MILEAGE). AFTER PUTTING A COUPLE OF GALLONS IN THE TANK WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED THE TANK. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE GAUGE BOUNCED TO FULL AND THEN TO EMPTY. IT BEGAN BOUNCING UP AND DOWN CONTINUOUSLY, SOMETIMES SETTLING AT HALF FULL OR AT EMPTY. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS TODAY (9/16/13) BUT MOSTLY STAYS ON EMPTY WITH THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. WE NOW USE THE TRIP ODOMETER TO GAUGE THE DISTANCE WE TRAVEL SO WE KNOW WHEN TO REFUEL. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR DEALER THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR AND WOULD COST AROUND $600-$700 TO REPAIR. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL. FIRST NOTICED ISSUE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THE GAUGE WOULD BEGIN READING CORRECTLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE. RAN OUT OF FUEL IN FEB. DUE TO INACCURATE READING. CURRENTLY GAUGE HAS BEEN READING EMPTY FOR 4 WEEKS, EVEN AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE GAS STATION. *TR

WIND SHIELD WIPERS WOULD GO ON .NOW THEY WON'T GO OFF. ENGINE LIGHT WONT GO OFF FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL OUT. MECHANIC SAID IT WILL GET WORSE AND WILL START STALLING OUT. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THESE CARS ABOUT THE SAME THING I HAVE GOING ON. MY GAS GAUGE WONT WORK. I BROUGHT MY CAR FOR THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR LAST YEAR AND NOW MY KEYS WON'T UNLOCK THE DOORS. ONLY THE REMOTE WILL OPEN IT. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE DOORS AND WINDOWS NOT WORKING THEY SAID MY VIN WASN'T UNDER RECALL I CALLED YOU AND YOU GOT IT FIXED FOR ME. I THINK THEY NEED TO CHECK THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ON THE ENVOYS. I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS SO SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE VEHICLE. *JB

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES ON CRUISE CONTROL I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID OTHER TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER ON THE FREEWAY, I THEN DROVE OFF THE FREEWAY ON THE SHOULDER AND INTO THE NEAREST GM DEALER AT MAXIMUM SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED SEVERAL TIMES RESULTING IN REWIRING OF THE THROTTLE BODY CONNECTOR AND FINALLY REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT OF THE SAME ISSUE. LOSS OF POWER AND UNABLE TO PROCEED AT MORE THAN ABOUT 30 MPH. *TT

FIRST, GAS GAUGE STARTED MISS READING, THEN A MONTH OR 2 LATER IT HAS BEEN STUCK ON E WITH LOW INDICATOR LIGHT ON EVER SINCE. SECOND, LAST WEEK MY DAUGHTER STOPPED THE VEHICLE, PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR IN PARK, CAR KEPT MOVING, DASH INDICATOR WAS STILL INDICATING DRIVE AND KEPT MOVING. GOOD THING SHE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR. I SAW A BIG RECALL FOR GM MULTIPLE YEARS BUT NOT MY MODEL FOR BAD SHIFTER CABLE AND THAT IS WHAT BROKE. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS INCIDENT AND COULD HAVE CAUSED SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE PNEUMATIC PIPE RUSTED THROUGH AT CLAMP. ALL THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED OUT INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL. STEERING PUMP MADE A SUPER LOUD NOISE. *TR

IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI THERE IS A COMPRESSOR. THERE MUST BE A LEAK BECAUSE MY CAR LOOKS LIKE A LOW RIDER IN THE MORNING UNTIL I START IT AND THE COMPRESSOR COMES ON AND IN ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES IT IS BACK TO IT'S NORMAL DRIVABLE HEIGHT. HAS THERE BEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH ANYONE ELSE AND IS THERE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? *TR

GM HAS A RECALL OUT FOR ENVOY DENALI DRIVER DOOR PANELS SHORTING OUT CAUSING SMOKE AND POSSIBLE FIRE. THIS IS A FACT. MY DOOR DID START ON FIRE AND THANK GOD I WAS STILL IN THE STORE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, DEALER SAYS "YES" THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, GM HAS THE DEALER HOLD MY TRUCK FOR THREE WEEKS WHILE THEY DECIDE IF THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THE RECALL THAT DID START ON FIRE. AFTER THREE WEEKS THE THIRD PARTY REPRESENTING GM CALLS AND SAYS "NO" GM IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE FIRE DAMAGE. ???? HOW DO YOU HAVE A RECALL BUT NOT COVER THE DAMAGE IF IT ENDS UP HAPPENING. SEPTEMBER 2013 ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS PAGE 16 HAS THE RECALL ARTICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN SUDDENLY MY ENVOY JUST SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS, SO I PULLED INTO THE FIRST SIDE ROAD TO AVOID BEING STUCK ON A MAIN ROADWAY AND WHEN I TURNED, I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME TURNING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF, ACTUALLY I TURNED INTO THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD ( THANK GOD THERE WAS NO INCOMING TRAFFIC). I LET MY ENVOY GLIDE AS FAR AS IT WOULD GO UNTIL I FELT IT WAS SOME WHAT SAFE. PARKED THE ENVOY, THEN TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON, THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER, BUT WOULD NOT TURN ON. I HAD THE TOWING CO. STOP AT AUTOZONE TO LOOK INTO THE LIT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY CAME UP WITH CODE P0463, FAILED FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION FOR I COULD OF GOTTEN INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT!!! *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DRIVER DOOR MODULE RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE LOCAL DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE RECALL WAS LISTED. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE.
