2006 GMC ENVOY XL Complaints

IT HAD BEEN RAINING ALL DAY. RAN ERRANDS AND CAME HOME. AFTER MIDNIGHT, MY WINDOWS WAD HALFWAY DOWN AND NO POWER AT ALL ON DRIVERS SIDE. *JS

THIS PROBLEM IS WITH THE REAR DOOR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT SPOILER. BRACKETS HOLDING IT ON BROKE.. BELIEVE IT TO BE A DESIGN FAULT AFTER TALKING WITH JUNKYARDS AND DEALERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. JUNKYARDS TELL ME THAT IS A BIG CALLED FOR ITEM, BUT IT IS DEALER SUPPLIED ONLY. SAFETY RISK OF IT FLYING OFF AND STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

I FILLED UP MY ENVOY WHICH WAS AT 1/4 TANK. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE YELLOW LOW GAS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BELL. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LOW GAS LIGHT CAME RIGHT BACK ON AND THE GAUGE REMAINS ON E. *TR

I REQUIRED A JUMP START OF MY BATTERY FOR THE FIRST TIME OF MANY BECAUSE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN MY INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INCLUDE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION "A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD COULD LEAD TO A FIRE, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY" POSTED IN THE US NEW REPORTED BY KATIE LABARRE ON AUGUST 20, 2012. GM HAS ANNOUNCED A RECALL OF 250,000 SUV VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS BUT HAS YET TO NOTIFY ANY OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. LAST YEAR I HAD TO DISPUTE THE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND NOW THIS. I'VE TRIED CONTACTING GM AND I AM CONSTANTLY BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. GMC 2006 ENVOY XL IS A GARBAGE VEHICLE AND I REGRET THE DAY I EVER PURCHASED IT!!!! *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY XL. SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE SERVICE LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY THROUGH 2012 WHERE A VARIETY OF LIGHTS COME ON. SOME STOP THE CAR FROM STARTING... IN 2006, SERVICE STABILITRACK CONSISTENTLY COMES ON ALONG WITH 3-56 OTHER LIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CONNECTORS ARE DIRTY, THAT I NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT WHICH WAS UNTRUE. OTHER TIMES THE CAR HAS GONE FOR SERVICE, NOONE REALLY HAS THE RIGHT FIX. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL THE SENSORS. *TR

THE LIFTGATE OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY XL CAME APART FROM THE BODY. THE TOP PLASTIC PIECE FIRST STARTED TO APPEAR NOT ALIGNED WITH THE ACTUAL LIFTGATE. THAT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND THE RUBBER MOLDING AROUND THE LIFTGATE BECAME WARPED. EVENTUALLY, WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THE WHOLE LIFTGATE WAS NOT ALIGNED AND I WAS HAVING ISSUES CLOSING IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE TOP MOLDING REPLACED, THE RUBBER REPLACED AND THE DOOR WELDED BACK ON PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THAT WHATEVER HELD THE LIFTGATE ON WAS RUSTED. *TR

GMC ENVOY XL - 2006 HAS POWERED DOWN THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE POWER DOWN. THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO 15 WITHIN ABOUT 60 SECONDS. THE FIRST TIME, IN APPROXIMATELY 2008, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TWO LANES TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND THE POWER CAME BACK ON WHILE I WAS STILL COASTING. I WAS TOLD BY GMC THAT WITHOUT THE LIGHT ON THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME IN EARLY 2012, THE SAME THING HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR - THERE WAS NO BREAKDOWN LANE. WHEN I WENT TO GMC THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A USEFUL LIFE OF THE CAR AND IT WAS GETTING OLD (135,000) MILES AND I SHOULD REPLACE IT. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK ON THE INTERSTATE. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC, NON GMC, WHO COORDINATED WITH ANOTHER GMC DEALER FOR ME. THEY FIXED SOME CODES THEY SAID WERE A PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. THEY FIXED IT AGAIN. WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REALLY FIXED. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. GMC HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO FIX THIS. I HAVE NOT SEEN SERVICE BULLETINS THAT RELATE TO THIS. POWERING DOWN TO A SPEED BELOW MINIMUM SPEED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN IT. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, A BURN SMELL EMINITTING FROM DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR REPAIR. THEY DIAGNOSED THE SMELL AND WINDOW FAILURE TO THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER SWITCH. THE REPAIR SHOP USED ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PART. THIS MONTH AGAIN, MY SWITCH DOES NOT WORK AND WINDOWS CURRENTLY ARE NOT WORKING. FRUSTRATING BECAUSE GMC ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY. I STILL HAVE THE OLD SWITCH AND RECEIPT AND SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE LABOR AND REPLACEMENT PART COST. THANK YOU *TR

BOUGHT THE GMC ENVOY 2006 YESTERDAY AT 50,000 MILES AND FILLED UP WITH GAS AND THE GAUGE STAYED ON EMPTY FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES THAN STARTED TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. *JS
