2006 GMC Envoy Denali

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

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES ON CRUISE CONTROL I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID OTHER TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER ON THE FREEWAY, I THEN DROVE OFF THE FREEWAY ON THE SHOULDER AND INTO THE NEAREST GM DEALER AT MAXIMUM SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED SEVERAL TIMES RESULTING IN REWIRING OF THE THROTTLE BODY CONNECTOR AND FINALLY REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT OF THE SAME ISSUE. LOSS OF POWER AND UNABLE TO PROCEED AT MORE THAN ABOUT 30 MPH. *TT

IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI THERE IS A COMPRESSOR. THERE MUST BE A LEAK BECAUSE MY CAR LOOKS LIKE A LOW RIDER IN THE MORNING UNTIL I START IT AND THE COMPRESSOR COMES ON AND IN ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES IT IS BACK TO IT'S NORMAL DRIVABLE HEIGHT. HAS THERE BEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH ANYONE ELSE AND IS THERE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? *TR

GM HAS A RECALL OUT FOR ENVOY DENALI DRIVER DOOR PANELS SHORTING OUT CAUSING SMOKE AND POSSIBLE FIRE. THIS IS A FACT. MY DOOR DID START ON FIRE AND THANK GOD I WAS STILL IN THE STORE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, DEALER SAYS "YES" THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, GM HAS THE DEALER HOLD MY TRUCK FOR THREE WEEKS WHILE THEY DECIDE IF THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THE RECALL THAT DID START ON FIRE. AFTER THREE WEEKS THE THIRD PARTY REPRESENTING GM CALLS AND SAYS "NO" GM IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE FIRE DAMAGE. ???? HOW DO YOU HAVE A RECALL BUT NOT COVER THE DAMAGE IF IT ENDS UP HAPPENING. SEPTEMBER 2013 ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS PAGE 16 HAS THE RECALL ARTICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD AT A PARTS STORE THAT THE FUEL SENDING SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000. *TR

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

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 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
