2006 GMC Envoy Speed Control & Cruise Problems

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 CRIME AREA WHERE I FELT VERY UNSAFE FOR MY VEHICLE AND MYSELF. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED BUT WAS TOLD THE ITEMS LISTED ON THE TEST 'MAY' BE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING AS IF THE GAS IS NOT DISTRIBUTING PROPERLY. IT WAS AS IF IT WAS CHOKING UP AS IF THERE WAS A CLOG. A DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE IN TRAFFIC OR GOING ACROSS A RAILROAD TRACK, WHICH IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITH ME. I ACTUALLY WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING, THE SPEED ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DROPPED SUDDENLY AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. I NOTIFIED ONSTAR, WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INDICATED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE CAR WOULD START UP AGAIN, BUT ONLY MOMENTARILY AND THE ENGINE WOULD DIE AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOME AND AM CONTEMPLATING WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT IN TERMS OF REPAIR. THERE WAS ANOTHER ISSUE JUST OVER 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING AND IT RAN OUT OF GAS. NO INDICATOR LIGHT EVER CAME ON. THERE WAS AT LEAST 15 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE TODAY, AS I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP A FEW DAYS AGO AND HAD NOT TRAVELED FAR. I HAVE FILLED IT UP EVERY WEEKEND SINCE THE INDICATOR LIGHT INCIDENT. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I HAD TO REPLACE OTHER PARTS RELATED TO THE FUEL..POSSIBLY CALLED A FUEL REGULATOR?? WHICH WAS MOUNTED TO THE GAS TANK. THIS OCCURRED AT 37,000 MILES. I WAS DENIED AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE WITH EMISSIONS AND HAD TO REPLACE THAT PART AS WELL. *TR
