THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATING TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

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

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
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
STABILITRAC AND/OR ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN NOT NECESSARY SUCH AS DRIVING ON DRY, STRAIGHT PAVEMENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAUSES VEHICLE TO DECELERATE SUDDENLY AND ALMOST LOSE CONTROL WHEN BRAKES ACTIVATE AND MOTOR RETARDS. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALSO FLUXUATES (ALTIMETER BOUNCES FROM LOW TO HI) CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER WITH ASSOCIATED LOSS OF STEERING, LIGHTS, BRAKING CONTROLS, AT ANY SPEED. PROBLEM HAS BEEN INCREASING (FREQUENCY & SEVERITY) FROM JULY, 2009 TO PRESENT (JAN, 2010). DEALER SHOP DID STABILITRAC TSB FIRMWARE UPGRADE (AND CHARGED ME) W/O CORRECTING PROBLEM, ALSO RETESTED AND "COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG":BATTERY IS NEW BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. 55,000 MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY/IMPROVED ROADS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME, LITERALLY, THE VEHICLE IS MOVED: 30-40 MILES/DAY. 1/6/10 ENGINE DEVELOPED "LOW GROWL" NOISE AND RPM DROPPED FROM ~800RPM TO ~600RPM AT PARKED IDLE W/O ANY APPARENT CAUSE. NOW IDLE AT START IS NORMAL, BUT WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES DROPS AND REMAINS LOW WITH GROWL NOISE. *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
