Problems with 2006 GMC Envoy EQUIPMENT

Tried to turn on the air conditioning and discovered the fan did not work. after quite a bit of research and an expensive diagnosis, was informed the blower motor resistor was burned out. this appears to be a common, frequent, and expensive problem if done by the dealership. there are several potential hazards to families and children which include; the possibility of fire caused by the heated & melted wire, loss of air conditioning in the heat of the day which may cause heat stroke or worse, and loss of heat during the winter months making it impossible to drive safely without the windows icing over and inhibiting vision. a recall in order to repair the problems with the blower motor resistor is necessary. mechanic states that both chevrolet and gmc model vehicles from 2004 to 2007 are being repaired with this exact problem. he has repaired 5 vehicles this month in the state of alabama. mechanic also states that mileage is not the issue as he has seen low mileage gmc and chevrolets come in for repairs with this exact same problem. please respond to this very expensive safety/ health issue as a vehicle recall.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Well i have a 2006 envoy, the battery hand bounces between 0-14 volts replaced the battery,had the alter nator checked and its fine. i talked to the guy at a gmc deal he said its the dashboard switches.. and the check engine light comes on and off, he said its a sensor or the dash panel. who knows. you shouldn't have to go thru al this hassel. i want mine fixed....... *tr

The fuel gauge reads empty and the fuel light comes on when there is gas in the envoy. this started a few weeks ago and i never know how much gas is in the envoy. *tr

Faulty fuel gauge sensor, as well as a faulty instrument panel. the fuel gauge indicates there is no fuel when i have just filled up my 2006 gmc envoy. started with filling up my suv and after i got gas, the gauge dropped to empty with the bell chiming low fuel. the check engine light stays on constantly even after having the car serviced. it goes off intermittently. definitely dangerous as you do not know when you will run out of gas, especially with traveling with young children. *tr

Michelin cross terrain tires have developed sidewall cracks in all 4 tires. the tires have 23,750 miles on them. they are original equipment tires on 2006 gmc envoy. they were taken to the authorized michelin tire dealer for inspection where they did acknowledge the cracks. they in turn called michelin who supposedly authorized a 55% credit towards a new set of tires. if michelin also acknowledges the defect, then these tires should be recalled and replaced. *tr

Erratic fuel gauge problem started at 110,000 miles on 2006 gmc envoy sle awd and was noted on a dealership visit. unfortunately now has 150,000 miles when the . vehicle has run out of fuel on freeway with wife and children, and almost caused several accidents. it has required numerous aaa calls for fuel over the past years and has created a many hours of inconvenience and lost of work. me and my wife have been stranded on the roadside over 15 times due to faulty fuel readings. problem has been too costly to repair so we have to now rely on resetting the trip odometer. this is a safety concern that should be more than a safety bulletin for only vehicles up to 120,000 miles. this is a farce to the gmc and chevy owner community. is the nhtsa waiting for people to die before making this a total recall to pay for repairs for all owners of these products? this is a failed design that must be corrected for public safety sake. please work with the manufacturers to address this issue fairly, equitable, and honestly. thank you. and may god have mercy on those with the power to make the right choice to do the right thing for the consumers of these products. thank you again. *tr

Will be driving down the road and depending where located in seat, the passenger airbag will disable. this vehicle has cloth seats and does not have the leather. you must wiggle around in the seat to make the passenger airbag reactivate. sometimes it works and sometimes you must stop and cut off and restart the vehicle to make it work. this is intermittent. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. the contact smelled a burning odor coming from the vehicle and parked it overnight. the following morning, the air conditioning system would not operate. the dealer stated that there was a heating resistor that melted some of the wires in the ignition system. the wiring harness was replaced and the dealer advised the contact not to activate the air conditioning system on low power; only medium and high due to the power needed by the blower when running on low. after the repairs were made to the wiring harness, the fuel gauge became inoperable on the instrument panel. the failure mileage was 26,000 and current mileage was 27,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. the contact started the ignition and the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate reading even though fuel had been dispensed into the fuel tank. while driving, the fuel gauge reading fluctuated which caused difficulty in determining the actual fuel tank level. in addition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously whenever the vehicle was operative. there were also electrical issues which contributed to the radio not to function and the instrument panel cluster lights would not illuminate. the fuel sensor was replaced previously by the dealer and the failure recurred three years later. the vehicle had not been repaired for the most recent fuel gauge malfunction. there were no repairs performed in relation to the other failures. the manufacturer was notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 23,000. updated 4/2/12 *cn the consumer stated the fuel level sensor failed twice. also, ai =r bag warning light was fixed by moving the srs wiring under the driver's sat. the radio and dash lights were replaced as well, due to inferior parts. updatd 04/16/12
