SUSPENSION, AIR BAGS
I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE 1,000'S OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE. MY AIRBAGS GO LOW OVER NIGHT AND UNDER 32 DEGREES DON'T PUMP UP AT ALL. I WORK 26 MILES AWAY AND TRAVEL TO WORK RIDING ON MY FRAME. MY BODY IS JARRED AND MY TRUCK IS GETTING BEATEN BECAUSE THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. YOU CAN HEAR THE PUMP WORKING AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT'S A VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS ISSUE IS NOT FROM AGE. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS 40K. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
DRIVING AROUND A CORNER, WHEELS LOCKED UP, SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT WENT ON, STEERING WHEEL UNRESPONSIVE TO TURNING. WENT TO A SHOPPING CENTER AND WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPACE AS WHEELS LOCKED UP AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T TURN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT ON DASH CAN GO ON AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON A BUSY STREET AND NOTHING HAPPENS. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES AND WHEELS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY ENVOY A FEW DAYS PRIOR AND WAS ON MY WAY TO GET GAS. THE FUEL WAS LOW BUT THE FUEL LIGHT WAS NOT ON. WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY ENVOY DIED. THIS HAPPENED AT EVERY STOPLIGHT UNTIL I PUT GAS IN IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. IT HAPPENS ANYTIME MY VEHICLE IS BETWEEN 1/4 TANK & EMPTY. THE FUEL LIGHT IS NOT ON WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT ALMOST SEEMS AS IF THERE IS NOT AS MUCH GAS IN IT AS THE FUEL GAUGE READS. IT HAS ONLY STOPPED ONE TIME WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY MOVING (AS I WAS COMING DOWN A RAMP TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE). IT DID NOT START BACK UP IMMEDIATELY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT THAT TIME, BUT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE IT STARTED. IT WILL LITERALLY DIE EVERY TIME I STOP UNTIL I PUT GAS IN IT. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN A FEW TIMES WHERE I HAVE SLOWED FOR A RED LIGHT, THEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SO I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE EITHER SPUTTERED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS, OR DIED COMPLETELY. LUCKILY, MOST TIMES I CAN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL & GET IT TO START RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OVER. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT HIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF & THE OTHER MOTORISTS TRAVELING BEHIND ME AS I TRAVEL VERY BUSY ROADS ON MY WAY TO AND FROM WORK. I HAVE LEARNED TO KEEP THE FUEL ABOVE 1/4 TANK BUT THE WAY THIS THING BURNS GAS, IT DOES GET LOW FROM TIME TO TIME BEFORE I GET TO THE GAS STATION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE OR IF THE GAS GAUGE IS INCORRECT BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY A HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. ADDITIONALLY, EVERYTIME I START MY VEHICLE SINCE IT HAS GOTTEN COLD, IT IDLES VERY HIGH - LIKE A LOUD HIGH PITCHED WHIRRING NOISE. IT THEN GOES VERY LOW AND ALMOST SPUTTERS. IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE LEVELING OFF AND SOUNDING 'NORMAL'. AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A GAS OR ENGINE ISSUE BUT I FEEL LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING GAS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

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
