GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW THE AMOUNT OF GAS LEFT IN VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF GAS ON HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES. GAS SENSOR IS FAULTY ACCORDING TO DEALER.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN OCTOBER 2009, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD "FLUTTER" AND REGISTER THAT IT WAS EMPTY WHEN HE ADDED GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK. AFTER CONSUMING FIVE TO SEVEN GALLONS OF FUEL, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD BEGIN WORKING NORMAL UNTIL THE IT WAS TIME TO ADD THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED AND THE HEATER WOULD BLOW COLD AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND HOT AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED AND THE HEATER WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE HEATER STILL DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED TO REFLECT OFF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH HINDERED HIS DRIVING ABILITIES. WHENEVER IT RAINED, SNOWED OR WAS FOGGY OUTSIDE, THE HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WOULD ALSO REFLECT OF THE WIMDSHEILD AND BLIND HIM WHILE HE WAS DRIVING. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE HIGHBEAMS WERE SUPPLIED WITH BRIGHTER BULBS. WHEN HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, HE WAS TOLD THAT WHAT HE WAS EXPERIENCING WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT FEEL THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS A PART OF THE PROBLEM; INSTEAD, HE FELT THAT THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,700. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,800.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI XL. THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGED WHEN THE VEHICLE REDUCED SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED AND THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHY IT FAILED AGAIN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

HEADLIGHTS FAILED COME ON AFTER AUTO LIGHT FUNCTION ACTIVATED, TOOK APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES FOR LIGHTS TO COME ON. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS MOVING FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULL. DEALER IS SAYING IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM, $800 FOR REPAIR IS THE GOING RATE. I HAVE FOUND MAY MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TH8JI6TEPO3VRJI3D . *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE LEFT FRONT ABS ACTIVATED. IT WAS AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE AND HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD THE SENSATION THAT THE VEHICLES WAS INSTANTLY PULLING TO THE LEFT WITH THE ABS DRAGGING THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO CLEARED 5 CODES RELATED TO THE FRONT ABS SENSORS AND BRAKING SYSTEM. I'M A MEMBER OF AN ONLINE FORUM CALLED WWW.TRAILVOY.COM I SEARCHED THE FORUMS FOR "BRAKE SOFTWARE" AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS THAT REFLECT MY EXPERIENCE. THE DEALER, DANIELS CHEVYLAND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HEARD THIS COMPLAINT, AS WELL. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS ON GRAVEL, WET OR ICY ROADS THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO HAVE THE BRAKE COMPUTER FIRMWARE UPGRADED IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. THEY WERE NICE ENOUGH TO SAY THAT THEY WILL DISCOUNT THE COST OF THE FIRMWARE. *TR

GAS GAUGE GOES FROM EMPTY TO FULL REPEATEDLY, REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL. VERY COMMON ON ALL GM SUV'S MANUFACTURED IN 2006. LEADS TO VEHICLES RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHEN DRIVERS BELIEVE THEY HAVE A HALF OR QUARTER TANK OF GAS, ETC... *TR

I HAVE HAD MY GMC ENVOY INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS JUST A FLAW IN THE DESIGN BUT IT IS A VERY ANNOYING FLAW. THE NOISE IS A CONSTANT SQUEAL THAT ONLY GOES AWAY IF I TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF OVERDRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID FROM ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN OVERDRIVE BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX IT. AS TIME GOES ON, THE NOISE SEEMS TO BE GETTING LOUDER. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI PURCHASED. BEGINNING AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT ABRUPTLY INTO 1ST GEAR AFTER THE CAR HAD STOPPED MOVING. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT DOES HAPPEN OFTEN AND WHEN IT DOES IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR HAS BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT STATES THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
