2006 GMC Envoy Denali

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AT ALL AND ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART BUT WOULD TURN. THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY 9/2/17 ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY OUT IN NOWHERE . WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THANK GOD FOR CELLPHONES. ON 11/12/2016 HUB BEARINGS REPLACED. 11/15/16 MODULE AND CONNECTOR REPLACED AND FUEL LEVEL SENSORS AND RING REPLACED. THREE YEARS AGO A/C WENT OUT. REPLACED.

WHILE ATTEMPTING A FULL STOP AFTER PULLING INTO PARKING LOT, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, ABS CAME ON AND PREVENTED ENVOY FROM REACHING FULL STOP. HAD TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND USE E-BRAKE. OCCURRED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD TAKE FOR SERVICE. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED ISSUE WITH ABS SENSORS, ALTHOUGH SENSORS DID NOT REPORT AS FAULTY. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS WAS A COMMON GM FAILURE FROM 02-08 IN TRUCKS IN AREAS WHERE SALT/SNOW IS PREVALENT. REMEDY WAS DISABLE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS, CANT AFFORD TO REPLACE FRONT BEARINGS AND REAR SENSORS. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, AND ONLY WHEN ATTEMPTING STOP FROM LOW INITIAL SPEEDS.

GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM WITH SUVS!!!!!!! WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH WITH OUR GRANDKIDS AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES. RADIO AND ELECTRIC WINDOWS STILL WORKED AFTER STOPPING (LUCKILY SAFELY). SERVICE REPAIR REPORTED THAT IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT THAT CONTROLS THE ENGINE SHORTED OUT TURNING OFF ENGINE AT 45 MPH. THIS IS THE 5TH IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS VEHICLE. GM HAS A LARGER IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM THAN THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING. LUCKILY WE JUST GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH OR WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS CLASS OF VEHICLE (SUVS/TRUCKS) AS I BELIEVE GM HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS THE COBALTS!!!!!!! *TR

1. STARTED WITH HORN HONKING ON ITS OWN, RADIO TURNING ON AND OFF AND HEATING AND COOLING TURNING ON AND OFF AND BATTERY BEING DRAINED. DEALER REPLACED 2 BATTERIES. 2. STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND SAY IT NEEDED SERVICED. 3. GAS GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AFTER A FILL UP. NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE AND EVENTUALLY REMAIN ON E. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS EITHER THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR OR INSTRUMENT PANEL. 4. VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK FORWARD WHEN SITTING AT STOP LIGHT. JERKS ARE STRONG ENOUGH THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE REAR ENDED. THEN STARTED NOTICING THE JERKS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. 5. OIL GAUGE BEGAN FLUCTUATING FROM HIGH TO LOW. WAS AGAIN TOLD IT WAS A BAD INSTRUMENT PANEL .6. REAR AIR SUSPENSION BEGAN DEFLATING WHEN VEHICLE WOULD SIT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. LOW ENOUGH THAT TIRES ALMOST TOUCH TOP OF WHEEL WELL. COMPRESSOR WOULD COME ON AND REAR END WOULD COME BACK UP TO NORMAL. NOW IT DEFLATES OVER SHORT PERIODS OF TIME AND TAKES A CONSIDERABLY LONGER AMOUNT OF TIME TO REINFLATE. I AM NOW NOTICING THAT IT IS DEFLATING SOME WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU HIT A BUMP YOU CAN FEEL THE TIRE HIT THE TOP OF WHEEL WELL. DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE JERKING. WAS TOLD THERE WAS PROBABLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSING THINGS TO COME ON AND OFF. FUEL GAUGE IS BEING REPLACED FREE AS A DEFECTIVE PART. WAS TOLD REAR SUSPENSION WAS MOST LIKELY A DEAD COMPRESSOR AND TIRES COULD POSSIBLY RUB OR BLOW OUT IF SUSPENSION DEFLATES WHILE DRIVING. *TR

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

I BOUGHT A USED 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI WITH 69,000 MILES IN JUNE 2010, BY JULY I WAS REPLACING THE AIR SHOCKS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ON ABOUT 7/28/2011 ON THE BELTWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE APPROACHING A LEFT HAND EXIT WHEN MY CAR STALLED, I HAD RUN OUT OF GAS WITH NO INDICATION. I WAITED OVER AN HOUR FOR SOMEONE TO COME PUT GAS IN MY TRUCK IN ABOUT 100 DEGREE TEMPATURE. I LATER RAN OUT OF GAS ON A BACK ROAD COMING TO MY HOUSE AT NIGHT. AGAIN NO INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON TO LET ME KNOW I WAS LOW ON GAS. NOW THE GAS GAUGE FLOATS BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY CONTIONUSLY. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION BOTH TIMES. MY FLASHERS WERE ON THE WHOLE TIME AND I HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY. NOW THE AIR WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE VENTS ONLY THE FLOOR AND DEFROST. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE GAS GAUGE, I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BOTH TIMES. *KB
