Hi ! as many other GMC Envoy costumer stock at the earlier 50-100 thousand milles with engine problem caused by misfire cylinder . I do a have a problem with my SUV engine the classic misfire #6 cylinder that it cost a $2000 or plus to get repair , short worlds loosing the engine . If you guys check about this issue is extremely big and horrible thousand people a cross the country dealing with this issue . I did noticed this issue just driving , I got to stop sign and the engine starts shaking and the check engine come on , after I took to a mechanic shop for diagnostic and put about $200 dollars on spark plugs and coil and noting changed I was tell by the mechanic that it was a lower compression on the 6 cylinder so bad valve .
2 problems with my 06 Envoy denali. My battery died and after jumping the vehicle, all front vents will no longer blow air from them. Only top and floor work!. Also mysteriously disappearing oil. Apparently faulty pvc valve cover now caused engines damaged. Needs replacing at $6700!!! this should have been a recall! now I'm stuck with a vehicle I cant drive or fix and still owe 11,900 on it. Owned it 9mos! warranty doesn't want to cover this issue.
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.
Opened lift gate while reaching into back the lift gate failed and fell down on shoulders and back.
I was involved in a head on collision, where a car came around a bus into my lane . It was a clear cut case of who was at fault. My concern is that my air bag never deployed. There is a driver and passenger airbag in that model. If not for my seat belt , I would have gone through the windshield and the vehicle was totaled from the force. There are pictures I could forward of the accident. I wanted to know if there was any thing else I could do to address this issue. Thank you.
Took vehicle in for battery change, after receiving vehicle back, noticed that dash vents would not operate, defrosters and floor vents still work, contacted gm- they acknowledged there might be a problem with blend door actuator, but needed to see vehicle for repairs, estimated cost- $1000. 00. Did online checking, this is a recurring problem with gm damper motors failing, often after battery change. Only solution is change damper motor.
Leaving a restaurant I was unable to place my car in reference or for that matter any gears. The tow truck driver showed me a little plastic peace that broke and advised me it was the shift linkage. I reviewed the information and was amazed to find that it is very common for thils little plastic piece to break in the Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. I do not understand why the shift linkage is not one of many recalls with GMC as it is very dangerous when you are unable to place your car in park, reverse, neutral or any gears. I am a very dissatisfied customer and would like for GMC to held accountable for the problem. I should not have to pay a hefty fee for a cheap plastic part that can cause a major accident, injury and or death.
My 2006 Envoy back hatch keeps clicking when raised also have to open passager back door before hatch opens.
The horn failed to work twice during the warranty period and was repaired by the dealer both times. The horn failed to work again shortly after it was out of warranty. Local dealer says there is no service bulletin on it being a known defect. The horn does work with the key fob. Problem is in the horn button in center of steering wheel. Sounds like a safety defect to me. I rarely use, maybe that's the problem.
