Problems with 2006 GMC Envoy POWER TRAIN

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. while accelerating from an intersection, the vehicle failed to accelerate. the contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road. when the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it failed to resume normal operation. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 131,000.

Radiator and transmission went while driving on a highway. my mechanic told me the part that failed never fails and he was shocked that it did.

Leaving a restaurant i was unable to place my car in reverse 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 this 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. *tr

To start off, when you go in drive and start to move the truck lost power to the motor but still stayed running. seemed like the truck didn't know if it wanted to be in 4x4 or 2 wheel. i took my foot off gas and min later it was fine. keeps happening . the driver seat back support felt like it started to over heat the motor on it, now not working at all. and sometimes as i use my brakes and come to a stop easy it feels like i lost brakes as if abs keeps going nuts. *tr

Accident on 4/25/14 after my 2006 gmc envoy shut off completely while i was making an left hand turn. i informed gmc of it but got no response. the vehicle has been doing this for the past 6 months. i have contacted gmc since the accident and still have gotten no response. *tr

First, gas gauge started miss reading, then a month or 2 later it has been stuck on e with low indicator light on ever since. second, last week my daughter stopped the vehicle, put the gear selector in park, car kept moving, dash indicator was still indicating drive and kept moving. good thing she didn't get out of the car. i saw a big recall for gm multiple years but not my model for bad shifter cable and that is what broke. that could have been a very serious incident and could have caused someone to get seriously injured. *tr

While driving vehicle, started to rough idle and almost caused a vehicle accident because i was unable to stop the car while driving, engine shutdown while driving and lost all power and braking & steering ability, restated vehicle and got burning gas smell from vehicle exhaust pipe and check engine light on with code p0014, got vehicle serviced and had new sensor installed but now getting pinging sound from engine under load and while driving at speed and minor vibration while at idle. i feel this is a serious issue with this vehicle where almost feel unsafe driving vehicle due to running risk of engine shutdown while at speed and unable to steer or brake when engine stalls due to this condition with code p0014 in cars computer. would really like to be contacted about this issue, gm should have a recall to inspect these systems and provide free repairs of any faulty sensors and provide a full service check on this vehicles. i felt real unsafe to drive this vehicle due to worrying about causing engine damage or having a accident because of this high end failure of this componet

2006 envoy only has 50,000 miles and the flywheel is going bad which may lead to future problems with the transmission there is also a fuel gauge problem where i fill up the car completely and it still reads empty. to replace this would be $800 dollars!!! i have found other websites where other people who own this car are having the same problems. there needs to be a recall!!!!!!! this is ridiculous. thank you for listening. *tr

Lost 2nd and 4th gears yesterday. only 56,000 miles on my 2006 envoy and should not have to replace my transmission yet. not happy!!!! *tr

Dt*: the contact stated that the vehicle does not accelerate smoothly and makes a loud noise during the first 3 minutes of driving. the accelerator pedal must be depressed all the way to the floor for the vehicle to move, and then normal acceleration begins after driving 3 minutes. the vehicle was taken to the dealer on 05/02/06 who could not duplicate the problem. the dealer representative inspected the vehicle on 07/20/06 and determined that the clutch fan that cools the engine created the noise but could not determine the cause for the acceleration problem. the manufacturer was alerted on numerous occasions who finally identified that it is normal for the vehicle's acceleration to perform in the documented manner. updated 08/15/06. 8jb
