FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I'M AN OWNER OF A 2006 GMC ENVOY SLT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. AT FIRST, THE GAUGE WOULD SWING BETWEEN FULL, EMPTY AND HALF FULL. NOW, IT JUST LIVES AT 'EMPTY'. RESETTING THE TRIP DISPLAY AFTER REFILLING AT 220 MILES IS GETTING OLD AND INCONVENIENT. I DON'T LIKE NOT KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE - ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M DRIVING IN AREAS WHERE THERE ISN'T A GAS STATION ON EVERY CORNER. BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM, IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
STABILITRAC AND/OR ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN NOT NECESSARY SUCH AS DRIVING ON DRY, STRAIGHT PAVEMENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAUSES VEHICLE TO DECELERATE SUDDENLY AND ALMOST LOSE CONTROL WHEN BRAKES ACTIVATE AND MOTOR RETARDS. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALSO FLUXUATES (ALTIMETER BOUNCES FROM LOW TO HI) CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER WITH ASSOCIATED LOSS OF STEERING, LIGHTS, BRAKING CONTROLS, AT ANY SPEED. PROBLEM HAS BEEN INCREASING (FREQUENCY & SEVERITY) FROM JULY, 2009 TO PRESENT (JAN, 2010). DEALER SHOP DID STABILITRAC TSB FIRMWARE UPGRADE (AND CHARGED ME) W/O CORRECTING PROBLEM, ALSO RETESTED AND "COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG":BATTERY IS NEW BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. 55,000 MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY/IMPROVED ROADS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME, LITERALLY, THE VEHICLE IS MOVED: 30-40 MILES/DAY. 1/6/10 ENGINE DEVELOPED "LOW GROWL" NOISE AND RPM DROPPED FROM ~800RPM TO ~600RPM AT PARKED IDLE W/O ANY APPARENT CAUSE. NOW IDLE AT START IS NORMAL, BUT WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES DROPS AND REMAINS LOW WITH GROWL NOISE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT FUEL GAGE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $600 + TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND GM MAY HAVE A "SILENT RECALL" OF THIS PART. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND BECOMING STRANDED IN RURAL IOWA DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD RECALL THE PART. *TR

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

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
IT SEEMS THAT MY VEHICLES FUEL SENDING UNIT IS DEFECTIVE AFTER ONLY 47,000 MILES AND THROUGH FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS LINE OF VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL COST OVER 800.00 TO REPAIR THIS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS MOST OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE QUITE UPSET THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART TO BE REPLACED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE LEFT FRONT ABS ACTIVATED. IT WAS AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE AND HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD THE SENSATION THAT THE VEHICLES WAS INSTANTLY PULLING TO THE LEFT WITH THE ABS DRAGGING THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO CLEARED 5 CODES RELATED TO THE FRONT ABS SENSORS AND BRAKING SYSTEM. I'M A MEMBER OF AN ONLINE FORUM CALLED WWW.TRAILVOY.COM I SEARCHED THE FORUMS FOR "BRAKE SOFTWARE" AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS THAT REFLECT MY EXPERIENCE. THE DEALER, DANIELS CHEVYLAND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HEARD THIS COMPLAINT, AS WELL. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS ON GRAVEL, WET OR ICY ROADS THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO HAVE THE BRAKE COMPUTER FIRMWARE UPGRADED IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. THEY WERE NICE ENOUGH TO SAY THAT THEY WILL DISCOUNT THE COST OF THE FIRMWARE. *TR

GAS GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. IT WAS FLUCTUATING FROM EMPTY TO A NORMAL READ AFTER FILL UP, NOW IT JUST STAYS ON EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY. SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SENDING UNIT AND FUEL SENSOR. DEALER WANTS ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. *TR

I'VE OWNED MY 2006 ENVOY FOR ABOUT A YEAR WHEN THE GAS GAGE KEPT SAYING THAT IT WAS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL. I HAD IT FIXED BUT IT IS UPSETTING I HAD TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MYSELF.

GAS GAUGE GOES FROM EMPTY TO FULL REPEATEDLY, REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL. VERY COMMON ON ALL GM SUV'S MANUFACTURED IN 2006. LEADS TO VEHICLES RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHEN DRIVERS BELIEVE THEY HAVE A HALF OR QUARTER TANK OF GAS, ETC... *TR
