2006 GMC Envoy denali. Consumer writes in regards to dropped valve.

The contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy denali. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and all the warning indicators illuminated. The contact mentioned that when the vehicle would start, it would cut off immediately. The vehicle was taken to betten baker Chevrolet Buick GMC (14120 northland dr, big rapids, mi 49307 (231) 629-4340) where it was diagnosed that an electrical failure was found, but the dealer did not know the exact cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

While driving down the highway and or while coming to a stop the engine just shuts itself off without warning. Everything in the inside stays on, but you have to put the vehicle in park and re crank. This is an extreme safety hazard and needs to be looked into.

The vehicle shows that the fuel tank is on empty shortly after being filled up. Also the engine will die at randoms times driving down the road. Also the head lamps fail at random times.

I am so sick of my 06 GMC Envoy xl. I truly give up. I had the stabilitrak and reduced engine light come on my car for five months. I have replaced the steering wheel sensor, the throttle body, and had the relearn the idle thing done, to no avail. This makes my fourth time going to the dealer, because I thought they could fix it. I have always bought gm. If god blesses me with another opportunity to buy a car, it will not be a gm. It throws my car off. I've had to pull over and start the car over a thousand times. I've seen many forums online about this problem, but there is no recall? I've even called gm. I still had to pay money. Resetting the computer has done absolutely nothing. Just wanted to rant, because besides giving me some of my money back (to the tune of a grand), what can I do?.

Just like all the others my 2006 GMC Envoy denali has a bad #7 lifter. Where are the recalls????? gm is getting away with ripping off the public and no one cares. Just bail them out and then let them rob all of us also???????????????.

Takata recall I have had to make many repairs on this vehicle. However, now the lifters in the engine collapsed. The vehicle only has about 87,000 miles on it. This is unacceptable. There have been many complaints about this vehicle and the lifters collapsing. We are a one income family and the repairs to this vehicle are astronomical. Well over 3500. 00 dollars. This vehicle is not drivable and has been sitting for a year now at my mechanics. The vehicle is of no use to me and has become a huge paper weight now. The worst part is I still owe on the vehicle too. Gm needs to take responsibility and do a recall on this vehicle for the afm lifters, or pay for the repairs to this vehicle. I will never buy another gm product again. Own up to your mistakes and take accountability for this problem. I am not the only one this has happened to. Very disappointed in this vehicle that is suppose to be american made!!!!!!! then you want to know why people are buying more foreign made cars. They seem to be more reliable than the gm products.

For more than a month my truck has cut off completely as I begin to break when I I am coming to a stop or when I am making a turn into a parking lot or at a corner. Sometimes it happens several times in a row during one trip. It always happens when I am in motion but once I turn on the hazard lights, put the car in park, turn off the ignition and restart it, it cranks right back up. I was told, based on my description that it could be a manufacturers defect in the turndown solenoid switch or sensor associated with the automatic transmission. This is a safety issue but I need my vehicle. This problem always occurs when I am on a city street. It has never happened on a highway/interstate when I am in perpetual motion. This is the only vehicle I have and I can't afford to leave it for more than a day at a shop, nor do I think I should shoulder all the responsibility for paying for repairs if it is a defect inherent in the vehicle. Please advise me as soon as possible if there is any recourse I can take against the manufacturer so I can have these needed repairs done immediately. I have already had the gear shift cable replaced about two months ago thinking that this was the problem. That was a $250 job with parts and labor.

Envoy GMC 2006 power steering becomes difficult at low speeds. Must use two hands to turn wheel. Power steering fluid not the problem. Engine light inadvertently comes.

Misfire p0301 a lot of 5. 3 engines in 2006 GMC denali can fine problem not wires checked coils checked fuel checked compression ok it has cost me more than 1100. 00 dollars still misfire.

Ive had car one month to the day were do I start . The car cuts out while driving. Shows codes one sec. Next sec I have several looks clean but so many probs I reall feel fucked. I purchesed a lemon.

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 driveable height. Has there been this problem with anyone else and is there a recall to fix this problem?.

The contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that when coming to a stop, the vehicle would shake violently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the cylinder head valve seats were wearing out prematurely and as a result, the cylinder and the valve seats needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000 and the current mileage was 138,000.

Engine wouldn't crank at times. Starts normally when it does. After about a week of having this problem I took a the car in for service. Diagnostics determined the ignition switch was bad and should be replaced. I had the ignition switch replaced 14 months and 6070 miles prior to this incident. They replaced the ignition switch. The part was under warranty but diagnostics and labor was $220. The first ignition switch failed at 65-70 mph on the freeway. I understand that gm has recalled ignition switches on several models but the Envoy is not part of that recall. Obviously my vehicle has the same problem as the recalled vehicles, why is it not part of the recall? this is a very dangerous problem. Since the rest of the electronics are connected to the ignition I have no safety equipment such as air bags. If I would have been in an accident, it could have been fatal.

While traveling on the interstate this morning, the speed on my 2006 GMC Envoy dropped suddenly and I had to pull to the side the road where the car completely stopped. I notified onstar, who performed a diagnostic test and indicated there was an issue with the fuel delivery system. The car would start up again, but only momentarily and the engine would die again. I had it towed to my home and am contemplating what to do at this point in terms of repair. There was another issue just over 2 months ago when the fuel gauge was not working and it ran out of gas. No indicator light ever came on. There was at least 15 gallons of gas in the vehicle today, as I had just filled it up a few days ago and had not traveled far. I have filled it up every weekend since the indicator light incident. About 2 years ago, I had to replace other parts related to the fuel. . Possibly called a fuel regulator?? which was mounted to the gas tank. This occurred at 37,000 miles. I was denied an inspection sticker because of an issue with emissions and had to replace that part as well.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy denali xl. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate over 40 mph. The contact also stated that the engine and the low fuel warning lights illuminated although the fuel level was at max. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the throttle body and fuel pump needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 128,623 and the current mileage was 138,182. Mah.

Driving on the highway the vehicle suddenly read empty on the fuel gauge, then the panel said low oil pressure shut off engine. I ran out of gas on a busy highway passing lane almost causing a bad accident with my 5 year old in the back seat as I could not tell my fuel level. The fuel gauge would work sporadically over the next few days and the low oil pressure would go away and come back. When I had this checked out it was thought to be the oil sending unit so it was changed along with the fuel sending unit. The fuel sensor was resolved at a cost of $300 but the low oil pressure came back on even though oil was well maintained. Suddenly on 3/1/2012 the engine ran load when started up. I had towed to the shop where (gm where they determined the engine was no good. I had it towed to another shop that determined the engine was no good as well. I had to pay to replace the engine almost $5000. I then looked online for this issue and found a website trailvoy. Com (represent chevy trailblazer and GMC Envoy). Here I found 1000's of post of people having the same issues looking to file law suits and wondering why we can have no recall on this dangerous vehicle. There ore 1000's of people having low oil pressure, dead engines with low mileage vehicles, run out of gas on busy roads such as myself and much much more. The gm issues we've experienced and are experiencing has been here long before the current issues of gm vehicles. How can we get someone willing to have this vehicle and issues on the recall list and get reimbursed for the 1000's of dollars spent to repair this very defective vehicle. If a petition will do it please shine some light on this. I had received post on the forum from numerous people willing to join a class action suit and many were consulting attorneys on how to move forward with this. This is a major issue that we desperately need the NHTSA to look into.

Reduced power light came on when on the highway. Almost got hit by a semi. This has happened many times. The engine has only 8k miles since engine was replaced under warranty.

The contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact noticed smoke escaping from the air conditioner unit. The contact stopped the vehicle, looked under the hood and noticed that the resister and motor wires were melted. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Vehicle goes into reduced engine power mode unexpectedly while driving with no prior warning. Mil light turns on, reduced engine power light turns on, stabilitrak off dic message displays, results in loss of acceleration and requires the driver to immediately take emergency safety actions. Codes include p2135, p0121, and p060e. Issue is intermittent, appears more frequently in cold or wet conditions. The issue has occurred more than 10 times since the initial incident. Dealer unable to correct the issue by throttle body cleaning and pcm replacement. Latest attempt is to replace the throttle body.

GMC Envoy xl - 2006 has powered down three times while driving on a major interstate at approximately 65 mph during rush hour traffic. No warning lights prior to the power down. The vehicle slows to 15 within about 60 seconds. The first time, in approximately 2008, I was able to pull over two lanes to the breakdown lane and the power came back on while I was still coasting. I was told by GMC that without the light on they couldn't do anything. The second time in early 2012, the same thing happened during rush hour - there was no breakdown lane. When I went to GMC the light went off. I was told that I had a useful life of the car and it was getting old (135,000) miles and I should replace it. They said they could not do anything. It happened again last week on the interstate. I brought my car to my regular mechanic, non GMC, who coordinated with another GMC dealer for me. They fixed some codes they said were a problem. It happened again after having the car for 2 days. They fixed it again. We don't know if it's really fixed. This is a huge problem. GMC has no idea what they need to do to fix this. I have not seen service bulletins that relate to this. Powering down to a speed below minimum speed on a major highway is very dangerous. I do not trust this vehicle and feel very unsafe in it. Somebody needs to do something about this.
