#22 of 51 Re: 2006 Envoy fuel gauge [sjack] by sjack May 20, 2009 (5:20 pm)
Replying to: sjack (Dec 08, 2008 12:03 pm) Finally found out there is a barometric sensor in the fule tank. If vapor pressure is not detected it screws everything up. I guess so you will go to a dealer. screw that; Decided to work it a little and the first thing was the fuel cap as we were thinking an air leak somewhere and went with obviuos first, TADA new filler cap and no more problems. Bought a dealer repalcement cap and it was different from the first or the first had lost some pieces. either way GMC will not be looked at ever again! What a pain and truly not nice enough vehicle to go thru this again Ever. Replies to this message: courtmays (Sep 23, 2009 9:51 am)

#24 of 51 A/C controls 1-4 don't work, 5 does by ljhayes May 21, 2009 (3:43 am)
Recently during the winter months in upstate new york, parts have started faulting. At first, the A/C control 1 and 2 would not work. However, 3,4, and 5 worked just fine. A few weeks ago, 3 and 4 also quit working. I am thinking this a condenser resistor, but im not positive. Anyone have any feedback?

#25 of 51 06 Envoy window and locks not working by klokyle May 21, 2009 (9:49 am)
I recently bought my 06 Envoy and have had no problems up until today when I got in and smelled a terrible burning smell. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from until I tried to roll down my window and it didn't work. Nothing works..windows,lock,child lock,mirror adjustment...nothing. The other 4 window controls work just not the driver's. Is this the motor?regulator?master switch?fuse? And any clues into why this would happen? Could water make this do this (from rain dripping down)? Or do I have a more serious problem? Thank you for any help..I am a mail carrier and really really need my windows to work!!

#26 of 51 2003 Envoy Electrical by linda68 May 24, 2009 (4:46 pm)
Just purchased a 2003 Envoy. Everything was fine; however, I did notice that the sound that it makes when the key is in the ignition and the door open did not go away even when I took the key out. Drove it this morning - everything fine (except that key problem). Just got in it to go somewhere, auto door open worked, put down driver's window. However, when I started it the check gauges light came on and didn't go off; battery signal lit; gauges would not work and not I can't get the window up or lock the car. Any suggetions? Help? Thanks.
#27 of 51 totally disgusted! by disgruntled06 May 29, 2009 (7:25 am)
I have a 2006 envoy xl. All I can say is that it is the worst vehicle I have ever owned! It has been in the shop more times than I could even list here. I have replaced the fuel pump 2 times. The windows go down by themselves and there so many more things wrong with this vehicle but t my last one is the worst. On Tuesday May 26th 2009 I had an electrical fire . I went to get gas and it was raining . My driver side window went down by itself . When I went to put it back up my truck filled with smoke and sparks coming out of my drivers side door. I quickly pulled away from the gas pumps and pulled up to Wawa. I quickly turned the vehicle off and tried to get out. My doors malfunctioned and I was stuck in the vehicle. I was finally able to get out on the passneger side. I got the fire out and disconnected the wires in my door panel. Thank God I was by myself and didn't have my little daughter with me.Now I am driving around with my window wrapped up and waiting on GMC. I'm not holding my breath because like I said I've had several problems already with this vehicle and they were no help. Anybody who wants a safe vehicle don't consider the GM Envoy. They are horrible on gas and their service sucks big time!!! I will never own another GMC vehicle! When I think back on the 28,000 dollars cash I spent on this vehicle it really makes me sick!

Replying to: disgruntled06 (May 29, 2009 7:25 am) I agree with you. My 2003 GMC Envoy XL is the worst vehicle I've ever owned and I paid $43,000 for it in 2003. I'm writing a letter to the President of Government Motors with an addendum listing all the things wrong with the vehicle. I won't bore u but it is extensive and my vehcle has 38,000 miles on it (litely used). I just hopre the people read this when they are looking to buy an used vehicle. By the way, my neighbor has the Cadillac Escalade and he had to break a window to get out of the car the other day. Ralph Nader would love to get his hands on these vehicles, if he were younger.

Replying to: ljhayes (May 21, 2009 3:43 am) I am wondering if you had any feedback on this? Mine is doing the same thing, and I am at my wits end. Replies to this message: dodge01 (Jul 06, 2009 11:07 am)

Replying to: lisette1079 (Jul 06, 2009 8:56 am) I had a 2001 Caravan that would do the same thing. There was an electronic control module that would go bad and would only give you highest fan setting.   It was a $10part and a 10min fix on my van. not sure where this item might be on the Envoy, hopefully it's not part of the blower motor

Replying to: rpowley (Mar 28, 2009 5:47 am) Did you ever get this problem fixed? I'm having the exact same trouble. It may take 20-30 key turns before it starts.
