ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING EVEN THOUGH FUEL HAD BEEN DISPENSED INTO THE FUEL TANK. WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE READING FLUCTUATED WHICH CAUSED DIFFICULTY IN DETERMINING THE ACTUAL FUEL TANK LEVEL. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATIVE. THERE WERE ALSO ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE RADIO NOT TO FUNCTION AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE FUEL SENSOR WAS REPLACED PREVIOUSLY BY THE DEALER AND THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE YEARS LATER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS PERFORMED IN RELATION TO THE OTHER FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000. UPDATED 4/2/12 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED TWICE. ALSO, AI =R BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS FIXED BY MOVING THE SRS WIRING UNDER THE DRIVER'S SAT. THE RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS WERE REPLACED AS WELL, DUE TO INFERIOR PARTS. UPDATD 04/16/12

VISIBILITY
FRONT WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE FAILURE, BOTH (LEFT AND RIGHT). 1ST EVENT NOTED IN 2009 WHEN VEHICLE HAD 32000 MILES, THIS IS THE 2ND EVENT. NOZZLES STOP SPRAYING WASHING FLUID EFFECTIVELY, PREVENTING DRIVER FROM CLEANING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN HIGH DEBRIS CONDITIONS, REDUCING VISIBILITY AND POSING A DRIVING HAZARD SPECIALLY IN HIGH DEBRIS / INSECT AREAS IN NON-OPTIMAL LIGHTING CONDITIONS SUCH AS NIGHTTIME DRIVING OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ALIGNED TOWARDS THE SUN OR OTHER LIGHT SOURCE. PREVIOUS EVENT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE NOZZLES, IT IS NOT CAUSED BY OBSTRUCTION AS PLENTY OF FLUID STILL FLOWS OUT OF THE NOZZLE (JUST NOT IN THE NECESSARY PATTERN). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING MY ENVOY HOME FROM WORK THE WINDOW STARTING GOING DOWN BY ITSELF AND THEN IT MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE LIKE A GRINDING NOISE. THEN THE WINDOW STARTED GOING BACK AND SMOKE STARTED PORING OUT OF THE DOOR LOCKS AND BY THE VENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE DOOR. SMOKE WAS POURING OUT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I GOT OUT IT SMELLED LIKED BURNT RUBBER. IT CONTINUED TO SMOKE FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. AND THEN IT STOPPED. THE SMELL IS STILL IN MY CAR BUT I HAVE NO ELECTRIC FUNCTIONS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. MY WINDOWS DO NOT WORK, THE OUTSIDE MIRROR DOES NOT WORK, THE SEAT CONTROLS DO NOT WORK, THE HEATED SEATED SEATS DO NOT WORK. *TR

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

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MARK EMPTY FUEL TANK AND SOMETIMES FULL TANK, UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AFTER THAT THE FUEL GAGE MARKS EMPTY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 2009 AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IF I NEED THE REPAIR I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. I CONTACT GM ON THEIR 1-800 NUMBER BUT THEIR AUTOMATED RESPONSE DENIED ANY CLAIMS. A FEW MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND WILLING TO SHARE HALF OF THE COST FOR THE REPAIR. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THEIR FAILURE AND BAD QUALITY? THE PARTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TESTED AT LEAST A MILLION CYCLES, BUT APPARENTLY NOT, AND MY VEHICLE FAILED AT THE 78TH TIME OF FILL-UP THE TANK, WHAT A SHAME.... *TR
