2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI Complaints

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2013 AND NOW THE DRIVERS DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I CONTACTED GMC BECAUSE THIS WAS A RECALL IN JUNE OF 2013. GMC TOLD ME THE WORK WAS ALREADY DONE SO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THEY ONLY MASKED IT WITH A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC. IF A VEHICLE HAS A RECALL AND IT IS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY DOES THE COMPANY LEGALLY HAVE TO PLAY TO FIX THE PART AGAIN BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS WAS NEGLIGENT IN FIXING THE RECALL CORRECTLY? *JS

1. STARTED WITH HORN HONKING ON ITS OWN, RADIO TURNING ON AND OFF AND HEATING AND COOLING TURNING ON AND OFF AND BATTERY BEING DRAINED. DEALER REPLACED 2 BATTERIES. 2. STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND SAY IT NEEDED SERVICED. 3. GAS GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AFTER A FILL UP. NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE AND EVENTUALLY REMAIN ON E. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS EITHER THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR OR INSTRUMENT PANEL. 4. VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK FORWARD WHEN SITTING AT STOP LIGHT. JERKS ARE STRONG ENOUGH THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE REAR ENDED. THEN STARTED NOTICING THE JERKS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. 5. OIL GAUGE BEGAN FLUCTUATING FROM HIGH TO LOW. WAS AGAIN TOLD IT WAS A BAD INSTRUMENT PANEL .6. REAR AIR SUSPENSION BEGAN DEFLATING WHEN VEHICLE WOULD SIT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. LOW ENOUGH THAT TIRES ALMOST TOUCH TOP OF WHEEL WELL. COMPRESSOR WOULD COME ON AND REAR END WOULD COME BACK UP TO NORMAL. NOW IT DEFLATES OVER SHORT PERIODS OF TIME AND TAKES A CONSIDERABLY LONGER AMOUNT OF TIME TO REINFLATE. I AM NOW NOTICING THAT IT IS DEFLATING SOME WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU HIT A BUMP YOU CAN FEEL THE TIRE HIT THE TOP OF WHEEL WELL. DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE JERKING. WAS TOLD THERE WAS PROBABLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSING THINGS TO COME ON AND OFF. FUEL GAUGE IS BEING REPLACED FREE AS A DEFECTIVE PART. WAS TOLD REAR SUSPENSION WAS MOST LIKELY A DEAD COMPRESSOR AND TIRES COULD POSSIBLY RUB OR BLOW OUT IF SUSPENSION DEFLATES WHILE DRIVING. *TR

RAN OUT OF GAS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING HALF FULL (VEHICLE HAD APPROX 50K MILEAGE). AFTER PUTTING A COUPLE OF GALLONS IN THE TANK WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED THE TANK. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE GAUGE BOUNCED TO FULL AND THEN TO EMPTY. IT BEGAN BOUNCING UP AND DOWN CONTINUOUSLY, SOMETIMES SETTLING AT HALF FULL OR AT EMPTY. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS TODAY (9/16/13) BUT MOSTLY STAYS ON EMPTY WITH THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. WE NOW USE THE TRIP ODOMETER TO GAUGE THE DISTANCE WE TRAVEL SO WE KNOW WHEN TO REFUEL. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR DEALER THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR AND WOULD COST AROUND $600-$700 TO REPAIR. *TR

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES ON CRUISE CONTROL I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID OTHER TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER ON THE FREEWAY, I THEN DROVE OFF THE FREEWAY ON THE SHOULDER AND INTO THE NEAREST GM DEALER AT MAXIMUM SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED SEVERAL TIMES RESULTING IN REWIRING OF THE THROTTLE BODY CONNECTOR AND FINALLY REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT OF THE SAME ISSUE. LOSS OF POWER AND UNABLE TO PROCEED AT MORE THAN ABOUT 30 MPH. *TT

IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI THERE IS A COMPRESSOR. THERE MUST BE A LEAK BECAUSE MY CAR LOOKS LIKE A LOW RIDER IN THE MORNING UNTIL I START IT AND THE COMPRESSOR COMES ON AND IN ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES IT IS BACK TO IT'S NORMAL DRIVABLE HEIGHT. HAS THERE BEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH ANYONE ELSE AND IS THERE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? *TR

GM HAS A RECALL OUT FOR ENVOY DENALI DRIVER DOOR PANELS SHORTING OUT CAUSING SMOKE AND POSSIBLE FIRE. THIS IS A FACT. MY DOOR DID START ON FIRE AND THANK GOD I WAS STILL IN THE STORE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, DEALER SAYS "YES" THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, GM HAS THE DEALER HOLD MY TRUCK FOR THREE WEEKS WHILE THEY DECIDE IF THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THE RECALL THAT DID START ON FIRE. AFTER THREE WEEKS THE THIRD PARTY REPRESENTING GM CALLS AND SAYS "NO" GM IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE FIRE DAMAGE. ???? HOW DO YOU HAVE A RECALL BUT NOT COVER THE DAMAGE IF IT ENDS UP HAPPENING. SEPTEMBER 2013 ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS PAGE 16 HAS THE RECALL ARTICLE. *TR

I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE 1,000'S OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE. MY AIRBAGS GO LOW OVER NIGHT AND UNDER 32 DEGREES DON'T PUMP UP AT ALL. I WORK 26 MILES AWAY AND TRAVEL TO WORK RIDING ON MY FRAME. MY BODY IS JARRED AND MY TRUCK IS GETTING BEATEN BECAUSE THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. YOU CAN HEAR THE PUMP WORKING AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT'S A VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS ISSUE IS NOT FROM AGE. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS 40K. *TR
