2006 Gmc ENVOY XL problems and owner complaints

THE FUEL TANK SENSOR MODULE ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY FAILED CAUSING THE TANK LEVEL INDICATOR TO FLUCTUATE AND READ IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY ABOUT 41,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS OLD. *TR THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE MODULE, AT A COST OF $700. THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE PRICE FOR A MODULE THAT SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN TWO YEARS.

WILL CALL DEALER ON MONDAY TO SEE IF THERE IS A SB F…

VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOSING VOLTAGE WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND IN IDLE POSITION. WHEN CAR IS DRIVING THE VOLTAGE IS ALWAYS READING OK BUT WHEN YOUR AT A STOP LIGHT THEN ALL THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS DIM AND THE BATTERY GETS DOWN TO 10 AND SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS TO STALL. BROUGHT THE CAR TO DARCY MOTORS IN JOLIET, IL AND THEY SAID ITS NORMAL AND THE ENVOYS EXPERIENCE THIS.

WHEN TURNING CORNERS ON SMOOTH ASPHALT THE STABILITRAC LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGAGES THE SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO MOMENTARILY SLOW DOWN AND MAKES A "GROWL" SOUND, THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE STEERING. IT MAY DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES PER TURN OR ONLY ONCE. IT HAS OCCURRED AT VARYING SPEEDS (TURNS AT 45MPH AND TURNS AT 10MPH). STARTED OUT ONLY OCCURRING DURING LEFT HAND TURNS, NOW HAPPENS ON ALMOST ALL TURNS. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS MUCH WORSE ON WINDY DAYS. THE STABILITRAC ALSO KICKS IN WHEN I TURN ONTO GRAVEL AND START TO SPEED UP (NOT MASHING…

I AM SO SICK OF MY 06 GMC ENVOY XL. I TRULY GIVE UP. I HAD THE STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT COME ON MY CAR FOR FIVE MONTHS.

I'VE SEEN MANY FORUMS ONLINE A…
