I AM SO SICK OF MY 06 GMC ENVOY XL. I TRULY GIVE UP. I HAD THE STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT COME ON MY CAR FOR FIVE MONTHS. I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR, THE THROTTLE BODY, AND HAD THE RELEARN THE IDLE THING DONE, TO NO AVAIL. THIS MAKES MY FOURTH TIME GOING TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY COULD FIX IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT GM. IF GOD BLESSES ME WITH ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A CAR, IT WILL NOT BE A GM. IT THROWS MY CAR OFF. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER AND START THE CAR OVER A THOUSAND TIMES. I'VE SEEN MANY FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL? I'VE EVEN CALLED GM. I STILL HAD TO PAY MONEY. RESETTING THE COMPUTER HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. JUST WANTED TO RANT, BECAUSE BESIDES GIVING ME SOME OF MY MONEY BACK (TO THE TUNE OF A GRAND), WHAT CAN I DO?

HI ! AS MANY OTHER GMC ENVOY COSTUMER STOCK AT THE EARLIER 50-100 THOUSAND MILLES WITH ENGINE PROBLEM CAUSED BY MISFIRE CYLINDER . I DO A HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY SUV ENGINE THE CLASSIC MISFIRE #6 CYLINDER THAT IT COST A $2000 OR PLUS TO GET REPAIR , SHORT WORLDS LOOSING THE ENGINE . IF YOU GUYS CHECK ABOUT THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY BIG AND HORRIBLE THOUSAND PEOPLE A CROSS THE COUNTRY DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE .I DID NOTICED THIS ISSUE JUST DRIVING , I GOT TO STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE STARTS SHAKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE COME ON , AFTER I TOOK TO A MECHANIC SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND PUT ABOUT $200 DOLLARS ON SPARK PLUGS AND COIL AND NOTING CHANGED I WAS TELL BY THE MECHANIC THAT IT WAS A LOWER COMPRESSION ON THE 6 CYLINDER SO BAD VALVE .

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD TO MAKE MANY REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, NOW THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE COLLAPSED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 87,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND THE LIFTERS COLLAPSING. WE ARE A ONE INCOME FAMILY AND THE REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE ARE ASTRONOMICAL. WELL OVER 3500.00 DOLLARS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A YEAR NOW AT MY MECHANICS. THE VEHICLE IS OF NO USE TO ME AND HAS BECOME A HUGE PAPER WEIGHT NOW. THE WORST PART IS I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE TOO. GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE AFM LIFTERS, OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE AMERICAN MADE!!!!!!! THEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE BUYING MORE FOREIGN MADE CARS. THEY SEEM TO BE MORE RELIABLE THAN THE GM PRODUCTS.

THE VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY GO FROM 70 MPH TO 30'S (SEMI-TRAILER CLOSING IN FAST) AND I CAN'T DO A THING ABOUT IT!! SERVICE STABILITRACK HAS BEEN A THORN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND PERSISTS TO BE A PROBLEM NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY! FROM EARLY ON, <10,000 MILES AND OVER 10 TIMES SINCE, THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THE PROBLEM, THOUGH INTERMITTENT, STILL EXISTS AND IS A HUGE DANGER TO ME AND MY KIDS BUT I CAN'T JUST GO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR TRADE THIS IN LIKE SOME PEOPLE (INCLUDING THE CAR DEALERSHIP MANAGERS) PORTRAY IS THE BEST OPTION WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET GM TO FIX THE CAR OR REPLACE IT WHEN THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. BUT THAT HASN'T BEEN THE ONLY PROBLEM: GEAR BAND BROKE TWICE ON THE TRANSMISSION, HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BECAUSE OF FAULTY RADIATOR, AND OTHER ISSUES HOWEVER NONE OF THE PROBLEMS REMOTELY COMPARE TO HAVING TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE REPEATED UNEXPLAINED DE-ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO MAKE THE CAR DO ANYTHING EXCEPT PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GIVE IT TEN MINUTES TO STOP HAVING A "TANTRUM" OF SORTS WHILE TRAFFIC WHIZZES BY AND THANKFULLY DIDN'T HIT US (YET). EXTERIOR / AESTHETICS, I LOVE THIS VEHICLE BUT POOR FUNCTION AND EVEN WORSE SERVICE OF PROBLEMS. I'VE REPORTED IT TO CORPORATE BUT THEY DON'T CARE AND DESPITE IT HAVING HAD BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES PRIOR TO END OF WARRANTY, NOW THEY JUST WANT ME TO START PAYING THEM FOR ALL THESE FIXES THAT HAVEN'T FIXED ANYTHING. ONCE I STARTED PAYING FOR FIXES AND THEN STARTED COMPLAINING THAT THEY AREN'T COVERING WHAT THEY'VE NEVER FIXED; THE MANAGER HAD THE NERVE TO SAY HE'D PAY FOR IT OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET IF HE KNEW IT WOULD FIX IT ... HELLO... WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER PAY FOR IT WHEN THE PROBLEM IS NEVER REALLY FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE FUSE PANEL UNDER THE HOOD WAS MELTED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BEGAN FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. LOW BEAMS FAILED ON AN UNLIGHTED INTERURBAN HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. SCARY! THEY STAYED OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND THEN RETURNED TO OPERATION. DURING THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING, TRYING TO VACATE THE HIGHWAY, USING HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LAMPS. DTL FAILURE NOTICED WHEN ENTERING GARAGE. HEADLIGHT DELAY ALSO FAILS AT THESE TIMES. LOSING LIGHTS AT 45 MPH ON A DARKENED ROAD IS VERY UNSAFE. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS PROBLEM MAY BE A LIGHT RELAY THAT IS KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES.
