2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD START, IT WOULD CUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BETTEN BAKER CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (14120 NORTHLAND DR, BIG RAPIDS, MI 49307 (231) 629-4340) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WAS FOUND, BUT THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. WHILE NAVIGATING AND IN MOTION, LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE. THIS ISSUE SELF-CORRECTS WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION. THE PERIOD FOR SELF-CORRECTION SEEMS TO BE RANDOM. HIGH-BEAMS HEADLAMPS, MARKER LAMPS, TURN SIGNSALS OR FOG LAMPS ARE NOT AFFECTED. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS REGARDLESS OF HIGHWAY OR STREET NAVIGATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

GAS LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN AFTER FILLING CAR UP. DAUGHTER WAS PUT IN DANGER BECAUSE WHEN FIRST STARTED COULDNT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN TANK AND RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING FROM WORK ON BUSY CITY STREET.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AT ALL AND ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART BUT WOULD TURN. THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY 9/2/17 ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY OUT IN NOWHERE . WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THANK GOD FOR CELLPHONES. ON 11/12/2016 HUB BEARINGS REPLACED. 11/15/16 MODULE AND CONNECTOR REPLACED AND FUEL LEVEL SENSORS AND RING REPLACED. THREE YEARS AGO A/C WENT OUT. REPLACED.

AT EVERY FILLUP WE CAN SMELL GAS LIKE THERE IS A FUEL LEAK. I HAD A SHOP DO A FOG TEST AND THEY CONFIRMED A LEAK "SOMEWHERE FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK". THE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE DROPPED TO VISUALLY INSPECT AT A COST OF $400-$500 JUST FOR THE DROPPING OF THE TANK. THEN THERE WOULD BE ADDED COSTS TO REPAIR WHATEVER IS CAUSING THE LEAK AND SMELL OF GAS. AFTER HEARING THAT I CAME HOME TO START MY SEARCHING FOR RECALLS & SAFETY NOTICES TO FIND THAT GM HAD A NOTICE ISSUED AS WELL AS THE NHTSA, BUT IT SEEMS THEY CUT THE YEAR OFF AT 2004 & 120,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE THREAD BELOW, IT APPEARS THIS WAS EXTENDED TO VEHICLE UNDER 150,000 MILES WHICH WE ARE WELL UNDER, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A 2002-2004 MODEL. THREAD - HTTP://FORUMS.TRAILVOY.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=22530 VIN - [XXX] A VIN SEARCH FOR THIS ENVOY DIDN'T BRING UP THE FUEL LEAK ISSUES, BUT WE CAN SMELL GAS & CONFIRMED A LEAK EXISTS ON THE TOP OF THE TANK SOMEWHERE. WAS THIS PROBLEM EVER REPORTED FOR NEWER MODELS YET? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LAST NIGHT I NOTICED AT A STOP LIGHT THAT I DID NOT HAVE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON. VERY DISCONCERTING. AFTER I MADE MY TURN TO EXIT THE BUSY STREET, THE HEADLIGHTS DID COME BACK ON. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM. IN FACT, MANY CARS WERE SELECTIVELY RECALLED ON THIS ISSUE. MINE WAS NOT. GRANTED, MY CAR IS 11 YEARS OLD WITH 157,000 MILES, I STILL BELIEVE GM AT SOME POINT SHOULD HAVE WARNED ME OF THIS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE. IT APPEARS I CAN EASILY FIX IT MYSELF WITH A $27 "MODULE" FROM AUTOZONE. NO ISSUES ON THE REPAIR AND PART. I JUST THINK HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE OF GM TO NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUE. SHAME ON GM.

THE VEHICLE SHOWS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS ON EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER BEING FILLED UP. ALSO THE ENGINE WILL DIE AT RANDOMS TIMES DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO THE HEAD LAMPS FAIL AT RANDOM TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND OR WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS ITSELF OFF WITHOUT WARNING. EVERYTHING IN THE INSIDE STAYS ON, BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RE CRANK. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER STATING THAT THE FAILURE WAS RECOGNIZED IN THE VEHICLE, AND THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN THE MILEAGE RANGE AND DATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER REQUIRED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. PARKWAY BUICK GMC WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE MILEAGE COVERAGE PRESENTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000.
