2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN GAUGE INDICATED REMAINING FULL. SHORTLY AFTER THIS SITUATION THE GAUGE REGISTERED ERRATICALLY AND THEN EMPTY ALL THE TIME WITH ALARM SOUNDING RANDOMLY. EST. FOR REPAIRS IN THE $700 RANGE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. AFTER THE GAUGE HAS READ EMPTY FOR A WHILE, THE ENGINE LIGHT THEN COMES ON. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME 724.00 TO GET FIXED, B/C THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS REPLACING. *TR

I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY THAT WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2008. THE VEHICLE WORKED PERFECTLY UNTIL JUNE OF 2008, WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. ANYTHING LESS THAN 3/4 FULL TANK WAS REGISTERING AS "EMPTY". AT THIS TIME, FEBRUARY 2009, THE GAUGE CONSTANTLY READS "EMPTY", EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS AND THE GMC WEBSITE, HOWEVER, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE FUEL FLOAT THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. I PERSONALLY CANNOT AFFORD $300 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO CARRYING PAPER AND PENCIL TO TRY AND MONITOR MY FUEL CONSUMPTION AND MPG SO I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, FUEL GAUGE DID NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, GOING FROM EMPTY TO FULL REPEATEDLY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALSO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION, HE HEARD A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

I PARKED MY CAR AND WENT INTO A STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT I COULD SMELL A BURNING SMELL. MY CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR AND WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR I SEEN THAT MY ELECTRICAL PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BLEW UP. *TR

I AM WRITING IN REGARD TO A FULL SIZED FAMILY VEHICLE THAT I LEASED IN 2006. I LEASED A 3 ROW 2006 ENVOY DENALI XL BY GM. I ALREADY HAD A 14 YEAR OLD SON AND DID NOT THINK I WAS ABLE TO HAVE MORE CHILDREN. HOWEVER, I HAPPILY DISCOVERED THAT MY HUSBAND AND I WERE EXPECTING IN MARCH OF 2007. THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE IS THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE THE LATCH SYSTEM AVAILABLE IN THE CENTER OF THE SECOND ROW, WHICH IS WHERE I BELIEVE THE CARSEAT IS SAFEST. IRONICALLY, MY HUSBAND HAS A 2000 GMC EXTENDED CAB WHICH HAS THE LATCH SYSTEM IN ALL THREE SEATS OF THE 1/2 SECOND ROW. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, GM DIRECTLY, ETC. NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT IF IN A CASH WITH THE CURRENT VEHICLE SPECS, THE SIDE AIRBAGS COULD DEPLOY, THUS HARMING MY DAUGHTER IN THE SIDE POSITION. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THIS LACK OF THE LATCH SYSTEM IN THE CENTER IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY SUPPORT YOU COULD PROVIDE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. WE HAVE 44000 MILES ON IT. WHEN WE FILL THE GAS THE GAUGE READS FULL. BY THE TIME I PULL OFF THE LOT THE GAUGE STARTS TO DROP TO EMPTY. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY IS A LITTLE SCARY FOR MY WIFE. NOT TO MENTION A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

HAD JUST FILLED THE FUEL TANK AND HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 5 MILES WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE HAD GONE DOWN TO THE EMPTY MARK SETTING OFF THE LOW FUEL ALARM. PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK THE GAS CAP, AND IT WAS INSTALLED, BUT LOOSE. DISCOVERED THE O RING GASKET WAS MISSING FROM CAP. DROVE ANOTHER 10 MILES AND WENT TO AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT CAP. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT EXTINGUISHED, BUT FUEL GAUGE SWEEPS BACK AND FORTH, SOMETIMES SETTING OFF LOW FUEL ALARM. WILL CALL DEALER ON MONDAY TO SEE IF THERE IS A SB FOR THIS. ALMOST OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

LOST 2ND AND 4TH GEARS YESTERDAY. ONLY 56,000 MILES ON MY 2006 ENVOY AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION YET. NOT HAPPY!!!! *TR
