kimbo6,
 
Do you have any inclement weather that could be affecting the operation of your window (snow/ice)?

#168 of 176 2006 GMC Envoy Denali nothing but problems by floridapatriot

Feb 02, 2012 (7:00 pm)

I have a 2006 GMC Envoy Denali with a 5.3 engine. I have all the problems that I have read about on this site like the load leveling system going out, engine burning excessive amounts of oil, etc. Now I need to change out my throttle position sensor and I get another light that comes on and I loose power. When I shut it off for a few minutes and re-start it that usually temporarlly fixes the problem and can go about my way. Also, sometimes I will be driving down the road and the headlights will go off by there self and I have to pull over and shut it off and start again. Sometimes that will make them come back on and sometimes it doesn't. Is there anyone on here who have experienced any of these problems and if so did anyone try to get GM to do anything about it or are we just out of pocket to fix this junky truck ourselves?

Good morning,
If you would like to explore any available options through Customer Service, we can get a Service Request set up for you. Please send us an email with more information (include your name/Edmunds user name, the last 8 of your VIN and current mileage, and the name of your dealership) and my coworker Christina will advise you from that point.
Regards,

I also have a 2006 GMC Envoy Denali (67,500 miles) with the exact same problems. I had to have my rear air suspension removed, if my car sat over night the rear of the car would be almost on the ground. I finally had to have the suspension replaced with traditional suspension. I am having to constantly check my oil to ensure it is has not burned all of it, headlights keep going out while DRIVING, and now the driver side lowbeam light is completely out causing me to have to drive with my highbeams on. The new one is the throttle position sensor, I get the check engine light coming on, then all of the sudden the stabilitrack light comes on along with another engine light and the car looses all power (I get codes P0121, P060e). I have a long commute to work every day and if im lucky, it eventually gets up to 65 mph hour after a few miles....that is if it doesn't shut off.
This is my 2nd Envoy, I had a 2002 Envoy SLE which did not have as many issues has this top model.
 
After reading all of these posts, I do not understand why there hasn't been some kind of customer service recall. On the brand model's top trim/package, these are not issues those of us who are loyal to the GMC brand should have to pay for on such a large scale.

Sometimes when I try to start my vehicle, I just hear a click when I turn the key in the ignition. It takes several tries before it starts. Then I won't have any problems for a while. I also have a problem with my odometer light not coming on most of the time. However it seems that whenever the odometer light comes on, I start having the problem all over. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks for your response.

I had same problem and it was my starter. I had to get a new one and no problems starting since. I have also replaced rear air bags and gas gauge. I will never buy a GMC again.

I've had similar issues. It took weeks to replace the throttle body, my headlights will go out; now I realized that somehow the harness burned up. This week the car refused to start and now have to change the whole electrical system! I am not happy. I have always owned foreign cars, this is my first domestic vehicle and have spent more on this car for repairs in two years than my 94 Civic and 05 Altima combined. This is crazy. Are there any recalls we're not aware of? I'm very skeptical going GMC again.
