The problem with my 2006 GMC Envoy is everytime I turn the ac/heater on there is a foul odor emitting from the vents for approximately two to three minutes. I contacted GMC they state that the problem is occurring because I live in a high humidity area of the country and that a dryer needed to be added to the vehicle for 800 dollars and they could only offer to take half of the price. I stated to the representative that this is not on the vehicle that I broke that this problems seems to have developed somewhere in the design and development of the vehicle why should I have to take on the responsibility of repairing it when I purchased the vehicle brand new.
The contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy denali. The contact stated that in October 2009, he noticed that the fuel gauge would "flutter" and register that it was empty when he added gasoline to the fuel tank. After consuming five to seven gallons of fuel, the fuel gauge would begin working normal until the it was time to add the maximum amount of fuel in the tank. The check engine light also illuminated and the heater would blow cold air on the driver side and hot air on the passenger side.

The failure mileage was approximately 40,000. The current mileage was approximately 46,000.
