2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI Complaints

DRIVING AROUND A CORNER, WHEELS LOCKED UP, SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT WENT ON, STEERING WHEEL UNRESPONSIVE TO TURNING. WENT TO A SHOPPING CENTER AND WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPACE AS WHEELS LOCKED UP AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T TURN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT ON DASH CAN GO ON AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON A BUSY STREET AND NOTHING HAPPENS. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES AND WHEELS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 ENVOY BRAND NEW IN 2006 FROM WYATT JOHNSON IN CLARKSVILLE TN . THE REAR AIR SUSPENSION BAGS GAVE OUT IN 2010, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I TOOK MY SUV TO GET REPAIRED AT WYATT JOHNSON, I ONLY PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE OF $150. IN JAN OF 2012 I NOTICED THAT THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WAS TAKING A LONG TIME TO AIR UP AND I ASSUMED THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN 2010 WAS OCCURRING AGAIN. ON OCT 2012 I TOOK MY SUV TO GREINER BUICK GMC DEALERSHIP IN VICTORVILLE, CA AND WAS TOLD THE REAR AIR SHOCK HAD WENT OUT AGAIN AND THE REPAIRS WOULD COST ABOUT 1600, THE DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO PAY THE COST AND I WILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET $785. I CALLED GM MOTORS BECAUSE THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT EVEN AFTER I GET IT REPAIR THIS IS AN ITEM THAT I WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON AS LONG AS I HAVE THE SUV. WHEN I WAS SOLD THE VEHICLE THE SALES MAN SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF THE AIR LIFT AND I WAS NEVER AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS AND HEAD ACHE THAT COULD OCCUR FROM HAVING A VEHICLE WITH THIS FEATURE. I FEEL IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND I FEEL AS THOUGH PAYING FOR IT TO GET REPAIRED IS NOT THE ANSWER I NEED TO BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE THIS VEHICLE FOR ONE THAT WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME RECURRING PROBLEM AGAIN. *TR

MY GMC ENVOY DENALI 2006 USES UP TO 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL IN A 30 DAY PERIOD. I HAVE NO LEAKS OR EXHAUST PROBLEMS. IT FINALLY COLLAPSED A LIFTER AND PUSH ROD. SAYS THERE IS NO NOTICE OR RECALL, BUT THE IS THE SAME ENGINE THEY USED IN THE 2003 PONTIAC, THEY DID RECALL THOSE MOTORS. DOES ANY ONE HAVE SOME HELP FOR ME? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR SHOCK SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, ALL OF THE AIR WOULD ESCAPE FROM THE SHOCK SYSTEM AND THE VEHICLE WOULD DROP DOWNWARD.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE. IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN THE SPEED RATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED REPEATEDLY WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND RESTARTED AFTER WAITING A FEW MOMENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER SEVEN DIFFERENT TIMES.

I OWN A 2006 ENVOY DENALI AND LAST MAY 2010 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE A BUSY HIGHWAY AROUND 55 MILES AN HOUR AND THE TRUCK JUST LOST ALL POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. IT TOOK ALEAST THREE TRIES BEFORE I COULD GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I WAS SO SCARED THAT A TRACKER TRAILOR WOULD HIT ME FROM BEHIND. IT DIDN'T DO AGAIN FOR A WEEK , AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP AND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AT ABOUT 65,000 MILES. NOW ITS A YEAR LATER AND I AGAIN WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON BUT COULD ONLY GET THE TRUCK TO ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR SO THAT I COULD GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. I CALLED GMC TO MAKE AN COMPLAINT AS IT IS VERY RARE TO HAVE TO REPLACE A THROTTLE BODY EVERY YEAR. I TAKE CARE OF MY TRUCK AND SEE NO REASON WHY IT HAPPENING OTHER THAN GMC DEFECT. GMC DID NOT HELP ME AND JUST SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I NO THIS TO BE UNTRUE AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GMC AND WILL NEVER BUY THE PRODUCT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK, AND AFTER LOOKING INTO IT THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER ENVOY OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I AM. I DON'T DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY IF I CAN HELP IT AT ALL, GETTING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH A TRUCK THAT WON'T MOVE IS WAY TO SCARY. GMC SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE IT RIGHT AND RECALL THE TRUCK AND FIGURE OUT WHY THE THROTTLE BODY FAILS. *TR

REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE ENGINE HAS ONLY 8K MILES SINCE ENGINE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

IN FEBRUARY I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ON THE THRUWAY, WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED WORKING. I LUCKILY PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER BUT HAD TO WAIT THERE IN THE DARK, TERRIFIED THAT WE WOULD BE HIT FROM BEHIND, AS IT WAS DARK. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I FOUND OUT THE CAR WAS SIMPLY OUT OF GAS! THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT READ EMPTY BUT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM!! SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL MORE OCCASIONS, ONCE WITH 5 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT NIGHT. GMC IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL AND IT NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE FAULTY SENSOR, BUT OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD ALSO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
