2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

BEEN TO DEALER DEALER FROM2008 TO NOW AND THEY TELL ME I DON'T DRIVE VERY NEED TO DRIVE MORE CARE HAS 40"000 MILES THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. YOU CAN DRIVE OR BE SETTING RUNNING STILL DOES THIS IT PULL DOWN ON ENGINE PULLS ALT GOES TO12 VOLTS THEN GOES ON

THE LOW BEAMS WENT OUT AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CITY STREETS ARE DARK AT NIGHT. THIS ENDANGER ME AS A DRIVER AS WELL AS PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE STREET AT NIGHT.

HI, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS METER ON MY GMC ENVOY 2006. IT HAS 38,000 MILES. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS THAT THE GAS TANK IS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I FILL IT UP. WHEN I START THE ENGINE THE GAUGE GOES SHOWS THAT THE TANK IS FULL, AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EMPTY AND I GET THE SIGNAL THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY. MY CONCERN IS ABOUT IF THERE IS ANY RECALL ON THAT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES. I WAS ALSO CHECKING ONLINE AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MATTER BECAUSE IT IS A SIGN OF A DEFECTED PART. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING ON JANUARY 30, 2016; MY MAIN CONCERN IS GETTING STUCK IN TRAFFIC AND POSSIBLY GET IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE GAS GAUGE IS MISREADING. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY COMPLAINT. *TR

GAS SENDING UNIT/FUEL PUMP LINES ROT OUT DUE TO CORROSION AND SPRAY GASOLINE ALL OVER THE UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE MIGHT STALL BUT OFTEN TIMES IT KEEPS RUNNING, ALL WHILE SPRAYING GASOLINE ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS ONE DOES NOT EVEN TRIP A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHILE RUNNING IN THIS CONDITION. THE ONLY WARNING WAS THE SMELL OF GASOLINE- SOME PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A SENSE OF SMELL, AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS A FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS CORROSION ISSUE IS KNOWN TO GM, WHY IS THIS NOT A SAFETY RECALL? THIS LET LOOSE ON MY SISTER IN-LAW WHILE DRIVING, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN EXPLOSION OR SERIOUS FIRE. GM KNOWS THAT THESE ROT OUT PREMATURELY DUE TO POOR MATERIALS AND COMBINED WITH ROAD SALT AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS IN SNOW STATES. THIS VEHICLE ALSO SUFFERS FROM THE DRIVER DOOR SWITCH FOR DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS NOT ALWAYS WORKING, DUE TO SHORTING OUT FROM WATER...AGAIN A KNOWN ISSUE WITH "SOME" UNITS OF THIS YEAR, BUT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED ON THIS PARTICULAR "UNIT" YET. SOME OF THESE HAVE SHORTED OUT AND CAUSED FIRES- COMBINED WITH THE LEAKY GAS SENDING UNITS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. DO NOT PARK THIS VEHICLE IN A GARAGE- A FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN...COME ON- MAKE GM TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS TRUCK WAS AT A DEALER FOR THE FUEL LEAK, THEY TOLD HER IT NEEDS A SENDER UNIT AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE FAILED ON THIS POORLY BUILT TRUCK, WHICH INCLUDE WHEEL BEARINGS, ABS SENSORS. STEERING WHEEL SENSOR (? REALLY) INOP DOOR LOCKS, LEAKING FUEL, WATER PUMP LEAKING, FAILING HEADLIGHTS- THAT WORK WHEN THEY WANT, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER REPAIRS. THIS FUEL AND ELECTRICAL ISSUE(S) SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY RECALLED. THIS IS AFFECTING A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE NORTHERN STATES WITH SNOW AND SALT ON THE ROADWAYS.

FIRST OFF MY ELECTRICAL PANEL IN MY STEERING WHEEL NONE OF THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOME TIME THEY WILL COME AND WHEN IT START TO RAIN AND THEY WILL STOP WORKING THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY GOING TO WORK OR NOT DRIVING LIKE THIS CAN BE A DEATH TRAP, THIS BEEN GOING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS I TOLD THEM AFTER THE RECALL FOR MY DOOR PANEL THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE RECALL FOR THIS AS WELL NOTHING YET.
