I REQUIRED A JUMP START OF MY BATTERY FOR THE FIRST TIME OF MANY BECAUSE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN MY INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INCLUDE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION "A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD COULD LEAD TO A FIRE, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY" POSTED IN THE US NEW REPORTED BY KATIE LABARRE ON AUGUST 20, 2012. GM HAS ANNOUNCED A RECALL OF 250,000 SUV VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS BUT HAS YET TO NOTIFY ANY OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. LAST YEAR I HAD TO DISPUTE THE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND NOW THIS. I'VE TRIED CONTACTING GM AND I AM CONSTANTLY BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. GMC 2006 ENVOY XL IS A GARBAGE VEHICLE AND I REGRET THE DAY I EVER PURCHASED IT!!!! *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING, THE SPEED ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DROPPED SUDDENLY AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. I NOTIFIED ONSTAR, WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INDICATED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE CAR WOULD START UP AGAIN, BUT ONLY MOMENTARILY AND THE ENGINE WOULD DIE AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOME AND AM CONTEMPLATING WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT IN TERMS OF REPAIR. THERE WAS ANOTHER ISSUE JUST OVER 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING AND IT RAN OUT OF GAS. NO INDICATOR LIGHT EVER CAME ON. THERE WAS AT LEAST 15 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE TODAY, AS I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP A FEW DAYS AGO AND HAD NOT TRAVELED FAR. I HAVE FILLED IT UP EVERY WEEKEND SINCE THE INDICATOR LIGHT INCIDENT. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I HAD TO REPLACE OTHER PARTS RELATED TO THE FUEL..POSSIBLY CALLED A FUEL REGULATOR?? WHICH WAS MOUNTED TO THE GAS TANK. THIS OCCURRED AT 37,000 MILES. I WAS DENIED AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE WITH EMISSIONS AND HAD TO REPLACE THAT PART AS WELL. *TR

THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN DOING A GOOGLE INTERNET SEARCH FOR "2006 GMC ENVOY FUEL SENSOR", I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. CALLED GMC CALL CENTER AT 800-462-8782. THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED IT AS A PROBLEM, AND ARE PAYING FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR COST (10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES). REPAIRS MUST BE PERFORMED AT A GM DEALERSHIP. NHTSA HAS HAD OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE GMC ENVOY. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY XL. SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE SERVICE LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY THROUGH 2012 WHERE A VARIETY OF LIGHTS COME ON. SOME STOP THE CAR FROM STARTING... IN 2006, SERVICE STABILITRACK CONSISTENTLY COMES ON ALONG WITH 3-56 OTHER LIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CONNECTORS ARE DIRTY, THAT I NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT WHICH WAS UNTRUE. OTHER TIMES THE CAR HAS GONE FOR SERVICE, NOONE REALLY HAS THE RIGHT FIX. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL THE SENSORS. *TR

THE LIFTGATE OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY XL CAME APART FROM THE BODY. THE TOP PLASTIC PIECE FIRST STARTED TO APPEAR NOT ALIGNED WITH THE ACTUAL LIFTGATE. THAT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND THE RUBBER MOLDING AROUND THE LIFTGATE BECAME WARPED. EVENTUALLY, WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THE WHOLE LIFTGATE WAS NOT ALIGNED AND I WAS HAVING ISSUES CLOSING IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE TOP MOLDING REPLACED, THE RUBBER REPLACED AND THE DOOR WELDED BACK ON PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THAT WHATEVER HELD THE LIFTGATE ON WAS RUSTED. *TR
