  Thanks for the response! Are these issues part of any recall that you are aware of. It looks like this stabilitrac issue is extremely common and difficult to resolve as well as expensive. The oil pump to seems to be plague many people with both Envoy and Envoy XL models. It seems like these were manufacturing flaws or possibly a batch of bad parts. It seems like if this is not ...

• 2005 Envoy XUV SLT Problems!!!

  Written by: telcoman1956 on Dec 28, 2011 12:51:45 PM

  Wow! I just “stumbled” onto this Edmunds forum while researching the rear load leveling suspension problems I started having a few months ago. This sounds like one of MANY chronic problems associated with GMC Envoys over several years and models (i.e., 2004, 2005, 2006, XL, XUV, Denali, etc.). I have a 2005 Envoy XUV SLT that I bought new in July 2005. It now has approximately 79,000 miles. I’ve done all ... Read More

  I don’t have oil pump problems. I have fuel sender unit problems. I have an xl denali, which I believe has fuel pump and sending unit combined. To pull the fuel tank and replace the fuel pump/sending unit will be around $1000 at dealer. A friend of mine says he will do it for around $700. At present, when I fill the tank, the guage flips back and forth, and the ... Read More

GMC Envoy Denali XL Gas Gauge and Oil Pump Problems

  Written by: jhiles4 on Nov 30, 2009 6:43:32 AM

  I have a 2006 Envoy Denali XL that has a gas guage that rotates from F to E sometimes but mostly stays on E. My engine light stays on because of my guage problem but now my light is blinking and I think it's because of low oil pressure. I recently had the oil changed but that didn't help with the low oil pressure. When my car is running and sitting ... Read More

  I don’t have the recall info, no......I just know that mine went out and they fixed it. Apparently they were already aware of the recall...they seemed to know exactly what was wrong with the vehicle (kinda makes me mad...the whole thing could have been avoided if they would have fixed it or let me know when GMC found out.) I have a 2006 SLT Envoy XL and I am guessing the ... Read More

  I've noticed that GMC vehicles, specifically Envoys, experience electrical problems and none of the dealerships are able to figure out the electrical gremlins. I had two Envoys and both of them experienced electrical problems and the dealership couldn't figure out how to fix them. All I can recommend is to keep all of your service records and document all of the conversations you have with the dealership, GM, etc. regarding the ... Read More

  Written by: jfritsch on Mar 14, 2007 1:13:45 PM

  I haven't even driven an Envoy, as I thought it was like a trailblazer. It is harder to get a better deal at GMC dealers vs Chevy as there are 5x as many chevy dealers. The Pilot is a much more quality piece than the Trailblazer, and it has the 3rd row std. About the same price too. Last summer they were selling for 7400 ish off MSRP. Almost all the ... Read More

You seem to be very knowledgeable on many of the SUV's and their cost. I currently have a GMC Envoy XL and my wife absolutely loves it.
