Vehicle wipers starting turning on when wipers were set to off. This problem has progressively gotten worse . It started as only intermittently and occasionally having the wipers turn on for a couple swipes and then shutting off. Now they (the windshield wipers) start swiping when the vehicle is started and you can hear the windshield washer pump running, the wipers will run until I turn the vehicle off. At times this is for 30 minutes or longer.
Wind shield wipers would go on .now they won't go off. Engine light wont go off feels like the car is going to stall out. Mechanic said it will get worse and will start stalling out. I see a lot of complaints on these cars about the same thing I have going on. My gas gauge wont work. I brought my car for the recall for the drivers door last year and now my keys won't unlock the doors. Only the remote will open it. When I called about the doors and windows not working they said my VIN wasn't under recall I called you and you got it fixed for me. I think they need to check the electrical problems on the envoys. I have the same complaints so something is wrong with these vehicle.

Driving along rapidly with rear defroster on and blade wiping with outside temperature of about 0 degrees and with a loud blast the rear window suddenly exploded loudly into hundreds of pieces flinging shards of glass into the vehicle causing me to almost loose control of the car into a snow bank or opposing lane. Now I am out $650 for a replacement but gladly no one got hurt.
As I was opening the rear door the rear window completely exploded all over.

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).
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 :(
While driving gmc envoy wipers move by themselves. Then stop after a min. Or so! As we pull out of the driveway water sprays and windshield wipers move constantly by themselves. All of these factors create horrible visability!
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.
The problem with my 2006 gmc envoy is everytime I turn the AC/heater on there is a foul odor emitting from the vents for approximately two to three minutes. I contacted gmc they state that the problem is occurring because I live in a high humidity area of the country and that a dryer needed to be added to the vehicle for 800 dollars and they could only offer to take half of the price. I stated to the representative that this is not on the vehicle that I broke that this problems seems to have developed somewhere in the design and development of the vehicle why should I have to take on the responsibility of repairing it when I purchased the vehicle brand new.
