2006 GMC Envoy fuel/propulsion system problems

“STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. IT CANNOT BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT AS IT WILL CAUSE THE ENTIRE CARE TO SWERVE. WHEN REVERSING THE CAR TURNS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHERE YOU ARE TURNING. I'M BACKING INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL THE STEERING WHEEL AS IF THERE IS A POWER STEERING ISSUE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DAY AFTER PURCHASE INDICATING I NEED CATALYST CONVERTER AND SENSOR. NO WAY TO PREDICT WHICH WAY THE CAR WILL TURN. IF I HIT A BUMP THE CAR SWERVES TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO NEXT LANE. IN MOTION I AM CONSTANTLY SWERVING INTO DANGER.”

“THE INITIAL TIME (3/14) IT OCCURRED, I WAS OUT OF TOWN WITH MY FAMILY, EMBARRASSED TO SAY THE LEAST. HOWEVER, MAINLY UNCOMFORTABLE, TIRED, AND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE MY 87 YEARS OLD DAD WAS STRANDED FOR HOURS AS WELL AS MY 66 YEARS OLD SISTER WHO IS RECOVERING FROM CANCER. THIS PROBLEM WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF OUR LOCATION. WE HAD GONE TO GET DINNER AND ICE CREAM AFTER GETTING ICE CREAM WE BACK IN THE VEHICLE FOR IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED 911 NO POLICE EVER SHOWED NOR WOULD EVEN STOP TO ASSIST. AFTER 2 1/2 HOURS, WE CONTACTED A CHURCH MEMBER TO FIND OUT ABOUT A MECHANIC IN THE AREA THAT COULD POSSIBLY COME CHECK IT OUT. ANOTHER CHURCH MEMBER CAME TO CHECK IT FIRST, BY NOW 3 HOURS HAVE LAPSED AND THE VEHICLE STARTS. AFTER THIS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH ME (3/19, 3/20, & 3/21) BUT MY MECHANIC SAID IT HAPPENED WITH HIM 3 OR 4 TIMES WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IT TO CHECK IT OUT AND WHILE IT WAS SITTING JUST RUNNING NOT BEING DRIVEN. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE ONCE, ONCE DRIVING, AND ONCE PARKED AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE TIMES I WAS BY MYSELF ONCE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, ANOTHER WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, AND ONCE WAS IN A HIGH…”

“INVESTIGATION # DP10001: THE PETITIONER ALLEGES THAT THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ODI WILL EVALUATE THE PETITION FOR A GRANT OR DENY DECISION. GM WILL FIX TILL 2016 MY 2006 ENVOY HAS ONLY 75,000 MILES ON IT”

“GAS LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN AFTER FILLING CAR UP. DAUGHTER WAS PUT IN DANGER BECAUSE WHEN FIRST STARTED COULDNT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN TANK AND RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING FROM WORK ON BUSY CITY STREET.”

“MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AT ALL AND ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART BUT WOULD TURN. THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY 9/2/17 ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY OUT IN NOWHERE . WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THANK GOD FOR CELLPHONES. ON 11/12/2016 HUB BEARINGS REPLACED. 11/15/16 MODULE AND CONNECTOR REPLACED AND FUEL LEVEL SENSORS AND RING REPLACED. THREE YEARS AGO A/C WENT OUT. REPLACED.”

“THE VEHICLE SHOWS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS ON EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER BEING FILLED UP. ALSO THE ENGINE WILL DIE AT RANDOMS TIMES DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO THE HEAD LAMPS FAIL AT RANDOM TIMES.”
