AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, EQUIPMENT
WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND DEPENDING WHERE LOCATED IN SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL DISABLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS CLOTH SEATS AND DOES NOT HAVE THE LEATHER. YOU MUST WIGGLE AROUND IN THE SEAT TO MAKE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REACTIVATE. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES YOU MUST STOP AND CUT OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT WORK. THIS IS INTERMITTENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD MY GMC ENVOY INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS JUST A FLAW IN THE DESIGN BUT IT IS A VERY ANNOYING FLAW. THE NOISE IS A CONSTANT SQUEAL THAT ONLY GOES AWAY IF I TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF OVERDRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID FROM ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN OVERDRIVE BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX IT. AS TIME GOES ON, THE NOISE SEEMS TO BE GETTING LOUDER. *TR

POWER TRAIN
2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI PURCHASED. BEGINNING AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT ABRUPTLY INTO 1ST GEAR AFTER THE CAR HAD STOPPED MOVING. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT DOES HAPPEN OFTEN AND WHEN IT DOES IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR HAS BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT STATES THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

VISIBILITY
BACK WINDOW ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY EXPLODED WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED. GLASS WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. HINGES HAD JUST THE DAY BEFORE BEGUN MAKING A NOISE WHEN TAILGATE WAS OPENED AND CLOSED. MY HUSBAND'S HAND WAS CUT. GLASS FLEW 20 FT. OUT OF GARAGE WHERE CAR WAS PARKED. NOISE OF EXPLOSION WAS LIKE A LIGHTENING STRIKE OR GUNSHOT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY AND OTHERS GMC ENVOYS AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. A FLOOD OF INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. MOST CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE LACK OF A RECALL TO FIX THIS SITUATION. SITUATION: ERRATIC OR EMPTY GAS GAUGE READING EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. A FULL TANK READS EMPTY RIGHT OUT OF THE GAS STATION. THE GAUGE MOVES UP AND DOWN WITH NO RELIABILITY. THE READING IS FLUCTUATING THE ENTIRE TIME SPENT DRIVING WHEN NOT READING EMPTY. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHIN A MONTH OF THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK IN MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. ONE DAY I FILLED THIS VEHICLE UP AND THE GAS GAUGE REMAINED ON EMPTY AND FOR A MONTH IT WOULD READ NORMAL SOMETIMES, BUT NOW IT STAYS ON EMPTY THIS HAS OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR,I HAVE 52,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY, SO THIS PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 ENVOY ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES AND THE FLYWHEEL IS GOING BAD WHICH MAY LEAD TO FUTURE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION THERE IS ALSO A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM WHERE I FILL UP THE CAR COMPLETELY AND IT STILL READS EMPTY. TO REPLACE THIS WOULD BE $800 DOLLARS!!! I HAVE FOUND OTHER WEBSITES WHERE OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS CAR ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!!!!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. UPON REVIEW ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL GAUGE INDICATORS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM, AND IT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $500 TO REPAIR. MOST COMPLAINTS ARE HAPPENING AROUND 45-50 THOUSAND MILES... *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. AFTER THE GAUGE HAS READ EMPTY FOR A WHILE, THE ENGINE LIGHT THEN COMES ON. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME 724.00 TO GET FIXED, B/C THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS REPLACING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY THAT WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2008. THE VEHICLE WORKED PERFECTLY UNTIL JUNE OF 2008, WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. ANYTHING LESS THAN 3/4 FULL TANK WAS REGISTERING AS "EMPTY". AT THIS TIME, FEBRUARY 2009, THE GAUGE CONSTANTLY READS "EMPTY", EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS AND THE GMC WEBSITE, HOWEVER, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE FUEL FLOAT THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. I PERSONALLY CANNOT AFFORD $300 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO CARRYING PAPER AND PENCIL TO TRY AND MONITOR MY FUEL CONSUMPTION AND MPG SO I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. WE HAVE 44000 MILES ON IT. WHEN WE FILL THE GAS THE GAUGE READS FULL. BY THE TIME I PULL OFF THE LOT THE GAUGE STARTS TO DROP TO EMPTY. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY IS A LITTLE SCARY FOR MY WIFE. NOT TO MENTION A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
