2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI Complaints

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

2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI PURCHASED 12/05. 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 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

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE, A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI WAS TOTALED, BUT NEITHER AIR BAD DEPLOYED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FUEL TANK GAUGE STARTED TO CONTINUALLY SHIFT FROM WHATEVER STATE THE FUEL TANK WAS IN TO EMPTY THEN AFTER SOME TIME REVERT BACK TO NORMAL FUEL CAPACITY AT THE TIME. CONTACTED ONSTAR FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY STATED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE FROM APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND STRUCK THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. CURRENTLY, THE DEALER HAS THE VEHICLE AND IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 10,266.

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS APPLIED WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO VIBRATE AT ANY SPEED. IT FELT AND SOUNDED AS IF IT NEEDED TO SHIFT GEARS, AS IN A MANUAL VEHICLE, BUT WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. IT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN NOVEMBER 2006. TWO DEALERS STATED THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT REFERENCED THE FAILURE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO CORRECT IT. WHEN ENGAGING THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE FORWARD AND A NOISE COULD BE HEARD. THE NOISE FREQUENTLY OCCURRED AFTER A QUICK STOP. THIS FAILURE HAD OCCURRED DURING THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE, AND STATED THEY HAVE REPAIRED THE NOISE, BUT IT CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000, AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,118.*AK

I WAS DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE 69 NEAR FORT WAYNE IN MY LEASED 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI WITH MY BOSS ON COMPANY BUSINESS WHEN A CAR FROM BEHIND ME PULLED ALONG SIDE HONKING THEIR HORN AND YELLING FOR ME TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS ON FIRE. WE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, GOT OUT, AND SAW FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY VEHICLE. WE CALLED 911 WHO DISPATCHED FORT WAYNE FIRE AND INDIANA STATE POLICE PERSONNEL. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP. BOTH A THIRD PARTY INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR AND A GENERAL MOTORS INVESTIGATOR CONCUR THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED CAUSING LUBRICANT TO SPRAY ONTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM IGNITING A FIRE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS ADMITTED TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECT I COULD NOT POSSIBLY KNOWN ABOUT NOR WAS IT MY FAULT IN ANY WAY. GENERAL MOTORS WANTS TO "REPAIR" THE VEHICLE AND PUT ME BACK IN IT. I'VE TOLD THEM MY LIFE AND MY BOSS'S LIFE WERE AT STAKE BECAUSE OF THIS FIRE WHICH IF NO ONE HAD WARNED ME ABOUT AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CONSEQUENCE COULD HAVE BEEN TWO FATALITIES AS I DID NOT KNOW THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE AS I DROVE ALONG THE HIGHWAY. I'VE ASKED GENERAL MOTORS TO DO THE RIGHT THING, BREAK MY LEASE, AND THEY CAN HAVE THIS ENVOY TO DO WITH AS THEY PLEASE. TO DATE, THEY HAVE REFUSED TO ACCOMMODATE ME. I REFUSE TO PUT MYSELF OR MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN BACK INTO A VEHICLE THAT WAS ON FIRE AND COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE! *JB

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FOLLOWED SHORTLY BY THE ENGINE QUITTING, 1 TIME AT IDLE, 2 TIMES IN WHILE UNDER WAY IN TRAFFIC. *JB

WHEN BRAKING THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL OUT @ AROUND 20 MPH. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. COMPUTER CHIP ISSUE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION YET. *NM
