  WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TRIED MERGING ON TO A DIFFERENT LANE TO TAKE MY EXIT AND I REALIZED THAT THE STEERING ON MY VEHICLE WAS VERY STIFF. AS SOON AS I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY I TRIED TURNING ON TO A SIDE STREET AND FOUND THAT STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

• 12/29/2012· ELECTRICAL SYSTEMFire

  GMC'S CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 12180 FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR MYSELF. DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK SWITCH STARTED RAPIDLY CLICKING AND SMOKING CAUSING DOOR LOCK CONTROL NOT TO WORK AND WINDOWS UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN TRAPPING PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE. SWITCH STARTED WORKING AGAIN THE NEXT DAY BUT IS NOW NOT WORKING OR PARTIALLY WORKING AGAIN. FUSE DID NOT BLOW. IF THIS SWITCH IS USED BY ACCIDENT IT WILL MAKE THE OTHER WINDOW SWITCHES NOT WORK FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN THEY RANDOMLY START WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MODEL YEAR 2006 GMC ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER HAVE MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE SINCE THEY WERE FIRST SOLD IN 2006 AND 2007. *TR

  I WAS DRIVING TO CHURCH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING AND DARK SUDDENLY, MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. I STOPPED AND TURN THE HIGH BEAM ON AND WHEN I TURN THE HIGH BEAM OFF AFTER 2 OR 3 MINUTES THE LOW BEAM CAME BACK ON. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON MY WAY FROM WORK, DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND THEY JUST WENT OFF. I PULL OVER AND TURN THE HIGH BEAM ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEY CAME BACK ON. REALLY AFRAID NOW TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I USED THIS VEHICLE FOR TRAVELING ON VACATIONS, NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS UNTIL NOW.

• 12/22/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THERE WAS A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT WOULD RESET TO THE ACTUAL READING WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT WOULD STAY ON THE ACTUAL READING AND THEN A MINUTE LATER THE DIAL WOULD GO DOWN TO EMPTY. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS FOR A MONTH. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. IT SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TANK AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE TO DO QUITE A BIT OF TRAVELING DUE TO MY NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT AND FIND IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. CURRENTLY, I HAVE 81,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. AFTER SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE OR WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. $800 IS EXPENSIVE FOR ANY FAMILY WHO HAS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. *TR

• 12/21/2009· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOSING VOLTAGE WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND IN IDLE POSITION. WHEN CAR IS DRIVING THE VOLTAGE IS ALWAYS READING OK BUT WHEN YOUR AT A STOP LIGHT THEN ALL THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS DIM AND THE BATTERY GETS DOWN TO 10 AND SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS TO STALL. BROUGHT THE CAR TO DARCY MOTORS IN JOLIET, IL AND THEY SAID ITS NORMAL AND THE ENVOYS EXPERIENCE THIS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS AND THE CAR IS 3 YRS OLD AND HAS 80K FOR MILES AND ITS BEEN RUNNING FINE UP UNTIL THE PAST 2MO SINCE WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. WE EVEN WENT TO SEARS AND PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT THE ENVOY TO AUTOZONE AND PEPBOYS AND BOTH PLACES CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY AND ALL CABLED AND CONNECTIONS AND ALL TESTED GOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT GMC NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ASAP. *TR

• 12/20/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I RECENTLY SMELLED GAS FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE AND I DO AN A VISUALLY INSPECTION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM OF MY VEHICLE. I FOUND A LEAK OF FUEL COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK; JUST FROM THE FUEL TANK NECK. I AM REALLY WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE MOST PART OF THE TIME I AM TRAVELING WITH MY SON. RECENTLY I DO A RESEARCH AND FOUND NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE07014 ABOUT A RECALL FROM GMC ABOUT THE 2002-2004 GMC ENVOY AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM JUST HAPPEN TO ME. *TR

• 12/18/2012· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  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

• 12/17/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  MY WIFE AND I WERE ON A TRIP DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY, THE GAS GAUGE READ BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND "E" AND I PLANNED TO GET OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT (APROX 12 MILES) TO REFUEL. WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND PASSING IN THE LEFT LANE, OUR ENVOY JUST DIED! WITH NO POWER ANYTHING (BRAKES, STEERING, ECT.) I DESPERATELY MADE MY WAY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WE HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE READ PLENTY TO MAKE THE NEXT EXIT. STRANDED FOR HOURS AWAITING A TOW, OUT TRIP WAS RUINED. SINCE THEN THE FUEL GAUGE ON OUR ENVOY HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY, IT WILL READ "E" FOR DAYS JUST AFTER WE FILL UP THEN JUMP ALL OVER THE DIAL NEVER GIVING US THE SAME READING EACH TIME WE START THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER THIS WILL COST US $600 TO FIX OR LIVE WITH AN UNRELIABLE FUEL GAUGE, OF COURSE WHAT THE DON'T TELL YOU IS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH GMC ENVOYS THAT YOU WILL ONLY HEAR ABOUT WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET. *TR

I MUST USE TO ODOMETER TO GUESS WHEN I NEED TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS.

  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

• 11/29/2008· LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  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
