2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI Complaints

2 PROBLEMS WITH MY 06 ENVOY DENALI. MY BATTERY DIED AND AFTER JUMPING THE VEHICLE, ALL FRONT VENTS WILL NO LONGER BLOW AIR FROM THEM. ONLY TOP AND FLOOR WORK!. ALSO MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARING OIL. APPARENTLY FAULTY PVC VALVE COVER NOW CAUSED ENGINES DAMAGED. NEEDS REPLACING AT $6700!!! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL! NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE I CANT DRIVE OR FIX AND STILL OWE 11,900 ON IT. OWNED IT 9MOS! WARRANTY DOESN'T WANT TO COVER THIS ISSUE

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR BATTERY CHANGE, AFTER RECEIVING VEHICLE BACK, NOTICED THAT DASH VENTS WOULD NOT OPERATE, DEFROSTERS AND FLOOR VENTS STILL WORK, CONTACTED GM- THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, BUT NEEDED TO SEE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS, ESTIMATED COST- $1000.00. DID ONLINE CHECKING, THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH GM DAMPER MOTORS FAILING, OFTEN AFTER BATTERY CHANGE. ONLY SOLUTION IS CHANGE DAMPER MOTOR.

WHILE ATTEMPTING A FULL STOP AFTER PULLING INTO PARKING LOT, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, ABS CAME ON AND PREVENTED ENVOY FROM REACHING FULL STOP. HAD TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND USE E-BRAKE. OCCURRED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD TAKE FOR SERVICE. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED ISSUE WITH ABS SENSORS, ALTHOUGH SENSORS DID NOT REPORT AS FAULTY. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS WAS A COMMON GM FAILURE FROM 02-08 IN TRUCKS IN AREAS WHERE SALT/SNOW IS PREVALENT. REMEDY WAS DISABLE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS, CANT AFFORD TO REPLACE FRONT BEARINGS AND REAR SENSORS. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, AND ONLY WHEN ATTEMPTING STOP FROM LOW INITIAL SPEEDS.

WE OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI XL WE NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE'S REAR SUSPENSION AIR RIDE AIR BAGS WERE DEFLATING.KNOW IT GOT WORST ,THEY DEFLATE WHILE DRIVING, ONCE THEY DEFLATE COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING IT MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE ALL THE WEIGHT SITS ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE,WHITCH MAKES THE FRONT VERY LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE TRENDS TO GLYED SIDE TO SIDE .JUST LAST NITE COMMING BACK FROM DINNER THE BAGS DEFLATED WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT STATED GLYDING SIDE TO SIDE.IS ANYBODY OUT THERE WITH SAME VEHICLE AND SIMILAR ISSUE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,239.

MISFIRE P0301 A LOT OF 5.3 ENGINES IN 2006 GMC DENALI CAN FINE PROBLEM NOT WIRES CHECKED COILS CHECKED FUEL CHECKED COMPRESSION OK IT HAS COST ME MORE THAN 1100.00 DOLLARS STILL MISFIRE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY WHEN FULL STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON I75 WITH GRAND BABIES THEY SAY ITS THE FUEL SENSOR AND SENDING UNITS ARE BAD. *TR

ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING, PLACED SHIFT LEVER TO PARK POSITION. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. TRANSMISSION WAS NOW LOCKED IN PARK, CAUSING INABILITY TO PUSH VEHICLE TO SAFETY. REPAIR BY GMC DEALER INVOLVED REPAIRING ELECTRICAL SHORT IN FACTORY WIRING UNDER DASHBOARD AT THE FIREWALL, IN THE AREA OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER MOUNT. APPARENT CAUSE IS IMPROPER ROUTING OF WIRING AT TIME OF VEHICLE MFR, CAUSING ABRASION OF WIRING OVER TIME. *TR

I WAS PULLING UP TO PARK IN A PARKING LOT.I HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. THE ELECTRONIC SAFETY FEATURES FAILED- AND THERE WAS NO STOPPING THE ENVOY. I SLID UP THE CURB AND INTO THE BUILDING. THE MECHANIC THAT REPAIRED THE ENVOY HAS A WRITTEN REPORT OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS GETTING STUCK HALF OPENED AND THE BRAKE LINES BRAKING AND THERE WASN'T ANY FLUID IN SYSTEM. *TR
