The contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that the motor in the driver's door shorted out and the window regulator and motor were burnt. As a result, the vehicle almost caught fire. Smoke appeared from the door panel, which the contact managed to put out. Coyle Chevrolet Buick GMC (1801 broadway St, clarksville, in 47129, (812) 218-1100) diagnosed that the vehicle needed a new power window switch, fuse, and harness. The repairs were completed by an independent mechanic. When the contact discovered that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 13V248000 (electrical system, visibility), the manufacturer was called and advised that the vehicle be taken to the dealer for reimbursement. The dealer did not reimburse the contact and presented the repair paperwork to the manufacturer. The contact was informed that reimbursement was not an option since the vehicle was repaired outside of the dealer and manufacturer. The contact stated that he did not know of the recall because he was not sent a letter. The failure mileage was 148,000.

Envoy 6-cyl

  • 66,547 miles
Front windshield washer nozzle failure, both (left and right). 1st event noted in 2009 when vehicle had 32000 miles, this is the 2nd event. Nozzles stop spraying washing fluid effectively, preventing driver from cleaning the front windshield in high debris conditions, reducing visibility and posing a driving hazard specially in high debris / insect areas in non-optimal lighting conditions such as nighttime driving or when the vehicle is aligned towards the sun or other light source. Previous event required replacement of the nozzles, it is not caused by obstruction as plenty of fluid still flows out of the nozzle (just not in the necessary pattern).

Envoy 6-cyl

  • 85,000 miles
Beginning on 08-20-2011 my 2006 Envoy began turning on and off its wipers and spraying windshield washing fluid everywhere. It now does this regularly everyday it is driven. Makes it hard to see at times. I have not taken it to a garage yet, was looking to see if there was a recall as I'm sure this will not be cheap to fix :(

I have a 2006 GMC Envoy. Two months ago after filling up my gas tank the gauge indicated no fuel, and then it would fluctuate, from full to empty. Now it is a daily occurrence. The gas tank is full and reads empty, the engine light comes on, then it reads I have half a tank, then no gas and back up to full. I know other owners have problems and hope there will be a recall soon on this. I also have a problem with my outside temperature gauge in my rear view mirror, I do not get an accurate reading. When it's 70 degrees out, it reads -34 degrees. I have a problem with my blower, the highest level does not work.
