SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM
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

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY NOTICE WHATSOEVER IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF SITTING IT WILL START UP IMMEDIATELY. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD THE FUEL CANISTER, IGNITION SWITCH AND EVAP SENSOR ALL REPLACED IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. BY THE WAY I'VE HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED THE LEVELING BOOTS REPLACED AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE THEY COULDN'T REPLACE IT, BUT THEY HAD EVIDENCE AT 79000 MILES THAT IT WAS BAD BECAUSE I HAD IT DIAGNOSE FOR THAT SAME PROBLEM. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IT HAS BEEN NOTHING MORE THAN A NIGHTMARE. I PRAY SOMEBODY COULD GET ME SOME ASSISTANCE ON THIS TRUCK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER RECEIVING RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP AND SENDER,GAS GAUGE STARTED ACTING UP. WHEN FILLING, GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY WITH LIGHT ON OR WOULD GO ALL AROUND PASS FULL. WIFE HAD TO USE TRIP METER TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN TANK. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID LEVEL SENSOR FAILED AND REPLACED SAME AT NO COST. PICKED CAR UP AND WAS DRIVING ABOUT WEEK, WHEN WIFE SAID GAUGE NOT WORKING AGAIN. CHECKED AND FOUND WHEN CAR WAS STARTED GAUGE WENT TO HALF, TURNED CAR OFF GAUGE STAYED AT HALF AND WHEN STARTED AGAIN WENT TO 3/4 FULL. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND GAUGE WENT PASS FULL. CALLED DEALER TO ASK IF GM HAD COME UP WITH SOMETHING FOR THEIR CARS TO MAKE FUEL SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $5.00 PER GAL. THEY SAID NO, SO TOOK CAR BACK TO HAVE CHECKED AGAIN. THIS TIME WAS TOLD IT WAS CLUSTER WHICH WAS BAD. SO HAD REPLACED AT A COST OF $486.10 AND GUESS WHAT NOT PART OF RECALL. SO HAD TO PAYOUT OF POCKET. I TOLD THEM THEY NEED TO STOP PUTTING SO MANY CHINESE PARTS INTO SO CALLED MADE IN AMERICA CARS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT TALK TO EACH OTHER. JUST CROSSING FINGERS IT WILL GET ME TO MIDWEST AND BACK BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE GOES BAD. NEED THE GOOD OLD DAYS BACK WHEN YOU DIDN'T NEED A COMPUTER TO TROUBLE SHOOT A COMPUTER IN YOUR CAR. OH BY THE WAY, YOU CANNOT EXPECT THE POLITICIANS TO CALL FOR GM TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS, BECAUSE IT MIGHT LOWER THEIR STOCKS FROM INSIDE TRADING, WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THEY WERE BAILING GM OUT FROM BANKRUPTCY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE INDICATED NEARLY 1/4 TANK AND THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. FROM THAT TIME FORWARD THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH FROM EMPTY TO FULL RIGHT AFTER I FILLED COMPLETELY UP. IT WOULD START TO WORK PROPERLY AFTER ABOUT 40 MILES OR SO. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT MY RUNNING OUT OF GAS MAY HAVE HAD AN EFFECT ON THE CALIBRATION OF THE LEVEL SENSOR SINCE IT WAS ONLY DOING IT WHEN IT WAS COMPLETELY FULL AND THEN WOULD WORK FINE AFTER AWHILE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, IT CONTINUED TO BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, BUT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING ONCE THE TANK GOT DOWN TO AROUND 1/2 FULL. IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND NOW CONTINUALLY STAYS ON EMPTY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ALSO COME ON WHEN THE SENSOR WAS GOING CRAZY, AND NOW THAT ITS ALWAYS ON E, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS CONTINUALLY ON. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY FILL MY TANK AND SET MY TRIP ODOMETER EVERYTIME I FILL UP SO THAT I HAVE SOME IDEA OF HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, BUT IT HAS STILL CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL TIME I RAN OUT AND I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS QUOTED A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SENSORS ON GM TRUCKS FROM THAT TIME FRAME AND GM ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE. MY TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS JUST UNDER 117,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT USED FROM A GM DEALER IN 2010, AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATION. *TR
