#128 of 145 Fuel Guage 2006 Envoy by halloyd Apr 11, 2008 (4:53 am)
Jillianne- Do you have, or does anyone have, the recall info on the fuel guage electrical issue GMC? Thanks. Replies to this message: wildernm (Apr 11, 2008 5:03 am) jillianne (Apr 11, 2008 5:43 am) mbell033 (Jan 17, 2009 12:04 pm) tidester (Jan 18, 2009 1:39 am)

Replying to: halloyd (Apr 11, 2008 4:53 am) I don’t have the recall info, no......I just know that mine went out and they fixed it. Apparently they were already aware of the recall...they seemed to know exactly what was wrong with the vehicle (kinda makes me mad...the whole thing could have been avoided if they would have fixed it or let me know when GMC found out.) I have a 2006 SLT Envoy XL and I am guessing the recall was on all of those at least. I am sure if you were to call your dealership and ask them if it applies to your vehicle they should know. I am sorry I could not tell you more...I am not familiar with vehicle info...I just know the basics and what is "obvious". The signs if it happening were that my gas gauge was not accurate. When I started it one day it said I had gas, as I drove my gas gauge sunk down to empty within a min. After getting gas and filling the tank the vehicle tried to reset the gas gauge and it did not work so my check engine light came on. That’s when I knew something was really wrong.

#131 of 145 2003 Envoy V-6 Transmission Overdrive busyshift by dbertain May 10, 2008 (10:27 am)
Hi, My 2003 Envoy jumps constantly from 4th to 5th(overdrive) at speeds mostly between 63-68 MPH (which is how fast I used to drive). My research points to the Transmission Control Module but it's confusing whether or not that unit has to be replaced completely or can be "re-programmed".   Other articles point to a servo or even a loose electrical wire.   I also notice a manual overdrive shift kit is available for purchase from the dealer and I'll resort to that if I have to. Hopefully I could install that myself.   Aamco wants me to bring it in for their free diagnostic but I haven't had good luck with them as usually they take an R&R approach until it's finally fixed.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.    Thank you very much. -Doug
#132 of 145 2006 Envoy Denali XL not starting by chrisnlaureng May 13, 2008 (6:32 am)
I have been having a problem for about 4 months now, where you put the key in turn it, everything comes on except it won't start, starter not clicking or anything.So they said get a new battery which we did and the problem continue. And then when it did start it would idle real rough and the check engine light would come sometimes, but if you turned it off and back on, if it start it would usually run fine and the check engine light would go out. Took to the dealership again and they said there was carbon build up and it just needed some maintenance, so paid for that like $300. 2 days later it would start again. When it doesn't start the the security light does NOT blink or come one and you cant even take it out of park. So the same problems are there still. Took it in again they said it needed a new throttle body??? I said are you kidding me, keep looking. So they replaced the PCM because there was a TSB on it. The whole time we have had a case file with GM headquarters because the local dealership is horrible. Saturday it started doing it really bad, you could usually get it to start in about 10minutes or so, but now it goes hours. So I called the dealership for them to get a tow truck and come pick it up and they said sure, I stated I wanted a courtesy vehicle and they said enterprise is closed, I said 13 miles away there is one open and they continued to say no. So called GM headquarters and they spoke with the dealership, still nothing. So I paid an online service to look up the owners name, address and telephone number and called him(he owns something like 8 new dealerships in the Charleston area) he seemed he was going to be helpful and stated he could not get me a loaner car till Monday. So my wife got the car started and took it in on Monday, they started accusing her of lieing and all this other stuff and would not give her a loaner car(we have 55k miles on our car warranty only ran out at like 45k when we started having this issue) because we are outside of warranty and they want to keep the vehicle for a week or 2 because they don't know what is wrong. So we called GM headquarters again, and they said the best thing to do now is for us to contact a lawyer. Anybody who has had experiences filling a claim against GM, I would really appreciate some information.

#134 of 145 MY ENVOY SOMETIMES DOES NOT START AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING! by flukemaster Sep 11, 2008 (4:36 am)
I have a 2006 envoy and 2 weeks ago it stalled at a light and now it stalls occasionally on the hoghway and will not start at times like it has a dead battery yet all the lights will come on. My friend ran a diagnostics check and found no fault codes and I know I am gonna get killed in this car. i am in no position to go to the dealer and they also find nothing and then charge me to replace an ignition , computer, or several other things. At this point all I have is a case at GM and I am extremely worried. Anyone else having this issue or problem?                                                    Rich L.

Replying to: flukemaster (Sep 11, 2008 4:36 am) Hi Rich hate to hear about this problem your having but maybe i can help ,specially since mine put me threw a few hoops a few months ago, I know on mine when it began to stall it was when i first cranked it it wouldnt hold an idle and would die now keep in mind i had just bought a new battery for it about a 2 weeks before hand so i immediantly thought something had happened again with the battery but checked it out and it was fine ,so then i thought possibly a sensor but it was weird because my check engine light wasnt on and it wasnt throwing any codes, Have you checked out your Crank or Cam Sensor those are known to be problems in these models at least for me they were and I completely understand about the dealer they'll take you to the cleaners for sure but then again most your local auto repair shops unfortunatly arent with a shit either, But i would suggest checking those sensors or you know it very well could be fuel related make sure to check out the Throttle Body and the ISC(idle speed control)motor .And this maybe a stupid question but all of your grounds are connected properly right? If you havent already double check them to be sure.   Good Luck
#136 of 145 Re: 2002 Envoy - Serious Recalls [fraudfighter] by amyjones929 Nov 05, 2008 (6:56 pm)
Replying to: fraudfighter (Dec 13, 2001 9:29 am) We just bought a used 2004 Envoy and had a similar problem. The dealer would not fix it becasue we didn't purchase their extended warranty. We ended up having to replace the control module, becasue the instrument panel was going crazy, lights coming on while driving, guages not owrking, flashing "unknown driver", etc. Do you know if any other years were effected, what happened with your case?
#137 of 145 Re: MY ENVOY SOMETIMES DOES NOT START AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING! [flukemaster] by wrench10 Dec 23, 2008 (6:13 am)
Replying to: flukemaster (Sep 11, 2008 4:36 am) Hey guys, not sure if its too late to help any of you or not but i know how you feel. I own a 2005 Envoy SLT myself and i have had the stalling while driving problem and the not starting problem with all of the lights coming on in the dash. I will tell you what fixed both of my problems. I purchased a cam positioning sensor and replaced it. (its right on the front of the head behind the fan) that solved the stalling while driving problem. The not starting problem took an ignition switch on the underside of the steering column, both inexpensive and easy fixes, but very stressful problems!!
