2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING EVEN THOUGH FUEL HAD BEEN DISPENSED INTO THE FUEL TANK. WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE READING FLUCTUATED WHICH CAUSED DIFFICULTY IN DETERMINING THE ACTUAL FUEL TANK LEVEL. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATIVE. THERE WERE ALSO ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE RADIO NOT TO FUNCTION AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE FUEL SENSOR WAS REPLACED PREVIOUSLY BY THE DEALER AND THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE YEARS LATER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS PERFORMED IN RELATION TO THE OTHER FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000. UPDATED 4/2/12 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED TWICE. ALSO, AI =R BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS FIXED BY MOVING THE SRS WIRING UNDER THE DRIVER'S SAT. THE RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS WERE REPLACED AS WELL, DUE TO INFERIOR PARTS. UPDATD 04/16/12

FRONT WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE FAILURE, BOTH (LEFT AND RIGHT). 1ST EVENT NOTED IN 2009 WHEN VEHICLE HAD 32000 MILES, THIS IS THE 2ND EVENT. NOZZLES STOP SPRAYING WASHING FLUID EFFECTIVELY, PREVENTING DRIVER FROM CLEANING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN HIGH DEBRIS CONDITIONS, REDUCING VISIBILITY AND POSING A DRIVING HAZARD SPECIALLY IN HIGH DEBRIS / INSECT AREAS IN NON-OPTIMAL LIGHTING CONDITIONS SUCH AS NIGHTTIME DRIVING OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ALIGNED TOWARDS THE SUN OR OTHER LIGHT SOURCE. PREVIOUS EVENT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE NOZZLES, IT IS NOT CAUSED BY OBSTRUCTION AS PLENTY OF FLUID STILL FLOWS OUT OF THE NOZZLE (JUST NOT IN THE NECESSARY PATTERN). *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY ENVOY HOME FROM WORK THE WINDOW STARTING GOING DOWN BY ITSELF AND THEN IT MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE LIKE A GRINDING NOISE. THEN THE WINDOW STARTED GOING BACK AND SMOKE STARTED PORING OUT OF THE DOOR LOCKS AND BY THE VENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE DOOR. SMOKE WAS POURING OUT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I GOT OUT IT SMELLED LIKED BURNT RUBBER. IT CONTINUED TO SMOKE FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. AND THEN IT STOPPED. THE SMELL IS STILL IN MY CAR BUT I HAVE NO ELECTRIC FUNCTIONS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. MY WINDOWS DO NOT WORK, THE OUTSIDE MIRROR DOES NOT WORK, THE SEAT CONTROLS DO NOT WORK, THE HEATED SEATED SEATS DO NOT WORK. *TR

I RECENTLY SMELLED GAS FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE AND I DO AN A VISUALLY INSPECTION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM OF MY VEHICLE. I FOUND A LEAK OF FUEL COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK; JUST FROM THE FUEL TANK NECK. I AM REALLY WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE MOST PART OF THE TIME I AM TRAVELING WITH MY SON. RECENTLY I DO A RESEARCH AND FOUND NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE07014 ABOUT A RECALL FROM GMC ABOUT THE 2002-2004 GMC ENVOY AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM JUST HAPPEN TO ME. *TR
