2005 GMC ENVOY Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

FUEL SENSORS AFFECTING PROPER READ OUT ON FUEL GAUGE. WINDOW AN DOOR LOCK SWITCHES ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. CLIPS ON HEADLIGHT AN GRILL ASSEMBLY CONSTANTLY COMING LOOSE.I HAVE CONTACTED GM. ABOUT WRONG FUEL READINGS THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS FUEL SENSORS IN THE TANK BUT WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS DUE TO CLOSED RECALL. THIS PROBLEM HAS RESULTED IN RUNNING OUT OF FUEL MULTIPLE TIMES. EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER PROBLEMS HAS JUST RECENTLY STARTED.THE COST IS OVER 600.00 DOLLARS THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY..... *TR

AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLES GAS TANK, THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, AN THE LO E FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT IS ENGAGED. INITIALLY, THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL WAS ABOVE HALF OF A TANK, THEN THE LEVEL WOULD SHOW CORRECTLY FROM ONE HALF OF A TANK AND LOWER. EVENTUALLY, IT NEVER SHOWED CORRECTLY AND ALWAYS AS EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL WARNING. *TR

Mileage: 150,000

FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, ENGINE CUT OFF. BEFORE THAT, THE MUFFLER STARTED MAKING RUMBLING NOISE. I HAD JUST FUELED THE VEHICLE. FINDINGS BY AAA: ABS BAD HAD TO BE REPLACED 1056$ AND REALIGNMENT. 2. EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND PIPE REPLACEMENT 400. DON'T KNOW ABOUT FUEL SYSTEM YET BRAKES /ABS IS 3RD TIME SINCE BUYING THE CAR IN 2006. 2ND TIME FOR ENGINE ISSUES. CAR STARTED OVERHEATING ON BELTWAY THIS WEEK AND BLOWER MOTOR NOT WORKING RIGHT. ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WONT WORK NOW AND REAR WIPER STOPPED WORKING. HOLY YOU KNOW! THINK I GOT A LEMON! *TR

Mileage: 106,756

AT LEES THAN 1/4 TANK OF FUEL THE GAS GAUGE IS CLOSE, AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE GOES WAY PAST FULL AND WILL STAY LIKE THAT UNTIL FUEL IS BELOW 1/4 TANK. LAST TIME THE TRUCK TOOK 19.85 GALLONS IN A 20 GALLON TANK UNTIL IT STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN. ONE TANK IT WORKED FINE AND NEXT FILL UP IT WAS WAY BEYOND FULL AGAIN. AT THE SAME TIME WHEN FUEL GAUGE IS WRONG, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE OFF. MANY TIMES FREEZING AT 35MPH WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH. AFTER MANY RESETS OF IGNITION, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL COME BACK. ALSO WHEN ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE, THE RADIO HAS NO AUDIO. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, THE RADIO WILL COME BACK AND WORK ON ONE SPEAKER. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS OUT. WHEN WEATHER IS WARMER, ALL 3 FUNCTIONS SEEM TO WORK REGULARLY. BELOW 50 DEGREES, ALL MALFUNCTION. *TR

Mileage: 100,914

THE FUEL SENSOR ON THIS VEHICLE FAILS PREMATURELY. *TR

Mileage: 84,000

SEEMS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY EVEN AFTER I FILL IT UP. IT WILL CHIME, ILLUMINATE THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND READ --- FOR RANGE LEFT TILL EMPTY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE. AFTER YOU DRIVE AND USE ABOUT 5 GALLONS IT WILL THEN GO FROM F TO E EVERY FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH CODE P0463. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE. GM STATED THAT THEY DID SEND OUT AT ONE TIME A OFFER TO PAY HALF OF THE ASSOCIATED COST IF WE CHOSE TO FIX THIS AND IT WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME. I WAS DEPLOYED OVERSEAS AT THE TIME SO I NEVER GOT THAT MAIL AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT THAT POINT IN TIME ANYWAY, HOWEVER THEY COULD HAVE ALLOWED ME TO DO IT UPON MY RETURN, NOPE!!! THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE NOW, AND IT IS VIEWED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. THEY TOLD ME TO SEE THEIR LIAISON AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, HE WILL THEN CALL THE GM REP. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER A WEEK AND STILL NO REPLY. WHEN I CALLED GM BACK ON MY OWN, IT SEEMS THEY CLOSED MY CASE BUT DID NOT HAVE A REASON WHY IT WAS CLOSED AND I WAS PLACED FROM ONE SUPERVISOR TO ANOTHER. I HAVE REPAIRED OR REPLACED SO MANY THING ON THIS SUV IN EXCESS OF 7K ALREADY ITS NOT FUNNY.( POWER PEDAL RELAY, AND MODULE, SELF LEVELING SUSPENSION, AC CONTROL HEAD, FAN CLUTCH MOTOR, AC ACCUMULATOR, ENTIRE FUSE BLOCK, ENTIRE SHORT BLOCK OF ENGINE AND HALF THE TOP END.)NOW THE HEAT AND AC SYSTEM ARE GIVING ME ISSUES WITH THE ACTUATOR DOOR AS WELL AS THE CONTROL BOX WHERE NO AIR COMES THRU THE DASH VENTS ONLY THE FLOOR AND GMC STATED THAT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS AFFECTED MANY BUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THAT EITHER. OF COURSE NOW I AM OVER THE ALLOTTED MILEAGE AND WARRANTY. SOME OF US LIVE IN RURAL AREAS WHERE ITS NOT A QUICK TRIP TO A LOCAL STORE BUT A 17 MILE ROUND TRIP JUST TO GET TO A SMALL STORE. *TR

Mileage: 146,000

THE GAS TANK SENSOR WENT OUT. LATELY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC FOR REPAIR BUT WITH 2 CRITERIAS. FIRST : VEHICLE MUST BE UNDER 120.000 MILES AND SECOND CRITERIA LESS THAN 10 YEARS. MY PERSONAL SITUATION ONLY APPLIES THE 10 YEARS. *TR I TALK TO GMS AND GMC IN TURN SAYS I HAVE DEAL WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND LOCAL DEALER SAYS GMC MUST AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR. I FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE THAT THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND GMC KNOWS THAT IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART. I THINK IT IS IN DANGER IF I FORGET TO GAS UP MY CAR.

Mileage: 115,000

FUEL SENSOR NO LONGER WORKS ON VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THIS DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE PER SE, ITS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE THAT GMC HAS RECOGNIZED HOWEVER THEY CONTINUE TO PUT STIPULATIONS AROUND VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX. FOR EXAMPLE, THE VEHICLE MUST BE UNDER 10YRS OF AGE OR UNDER 120,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I THINK THAT GMC SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM REGARDING OF HOW MANY MILES OR YEARS OF AGE IS ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 95,000

I FILLED UP AT THE LOCAL EXXON GAS STATION AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH THE YELLOW LIGHT ILLUMINATED. TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES,TO NO AVAIL.CARRIED CAR TO A MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TANK. REPAIR COST ROUGHLY $800 - $1000 DOLLARS. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. *TR

Mileage: 113,000

WE WERE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT LEAVING US IN THE DARK. WE HAVE CHECKED THE FUSES BUT THEY ARE ALL FINE. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT COME OFF OF EMPTY EVEN THOUGH WE FILL IT UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE ABNORMALLY AND THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXACT LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED FOR SOME TIME. IN ADDITION, THE SPEEDOMETER ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD COVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,224. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 12/11/12*LJ

2005 GMC ENVOY OUT OF THE BLUE MY SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND MY GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH LIGHT ON EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS! ADDITIONALLY THE FACTORY SPEAKERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES! *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT SINCE I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AND THE LETTER STATED NOT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER UNLESS YOU CURRENTLY HAD THE PROBLEM. AS OF A WEEK AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I FUELED UP UNTIL THE TANK WAS FULL AND THE GAUGE READS AS IF THE TANK IS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IN ADDITION THE SPEEDOMETER HAS IS HAVING ISSUES NOW AS WELL. IT STICKS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THEN JUST GOES TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY GPS I WOULD HAVE NO CLUE WHAT RATE OF SPEED I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR FOR THE FUEL GAUGE WILL COST ME $240 WITH GMC PAYING THE OTHER HALF. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE I DID SO WHY AM I NOW STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BILLS? WHY WAS THIS NOT FIXED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP? SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.I SHOULD NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR GMC'S ERRORS! IN ADDITION THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE OTHER GMC MODELS FOR THE CLUSTER GAUGE THAT AFFECTS THE SPEEDOMETER. THE ENVOY WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. ONCE AGAIN WHY SHOULD I BE STUCK HOLDING THE BAG ON FAULTY EQUIPMENT? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS RESOLVED? *TR

Mileage: 61,000

THE GAS GAUGE STARTED FAILING. IT STARTED MARKING RANDOM FUEL VALUES WHICH WERE COMPLETELY INCORRECT. IT WOULD MARK HALF A TANK WHEN IT WAS FULL. IT WOULD RANDOMLY JUMP TO DIFFERENT SETTING AFTER EACH START. AND FINALLY IT GOT STUCK ON EMPTY WITH THE EMPTY LIGHT ON. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS BEGUN READING INCORRECTLY. THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN I FILL IT WITH FUEL. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE TANK APPEARS TO RETURN TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS A NORMAL READING. THEN, ON IT'S OWN, IT WILL FLUXUATE DROPPING TO EMPTY, TRIGGERING THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND ALARM AND THEN RETURN TO IT'S PREVIOUS POSITION. AT THIS TIME, I CANNOT TRUST THE GAUGE TO BE ACCURATE. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY SLT HAS BEGAN READING INCORRECTLY. THE GAUGE READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK HAS FUEL IN IT. AFTER A DAY OR SO THE TANK READS NORMAL, THEN IT BEGINS TO FLUXUATE FROM CORRECT TO EMPTY. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BEGIN COMING ON, AND WILL GO OFF AGAIN WITH NO RESETTING. *TR

Mileage: 113,000

AFTER FILLING THE TANK IN MY 05 ENVOY THE GAUGE READS EMPTY FOR A WHILE, THEN GOES UP AND DOWN. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL. IT WILL WORK AGAIN AT ABOUT HALF A TANK, THEN WHEN WE REFUEL IT WILL GO TO EMPTY AGAIN. THEN IT WILL START TO GO UP TO ABOUT 1/8 TANK, THEN GO BACK TO EMPTY. SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES. *TR

REPEAT PROBLEMS SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AT DEALERS. AIR /O2 SENSORS DEFECTIVE/REPLACED. DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP/FUEL SENSOR/ELECTRONIC GAS GAUGE; FLICKERING/DIMMING HEADLIGHTS; FREEZING/INABILITY TO CONTROL DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND CONTROLS. 1/4 OF FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS OUT; DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CONTROL LIGHTING 1/4 OUT; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW FUEL LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1997. TIE RODS BOTH REPLACED AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT SWAY BARS. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING VEHICLE PURCHASE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY GO OFF. I WOULD CALL ONSTAR AT WHICH POINT I WAS TOLD TO TAKE CAR IN FOR REPAIR W/I 7-10 DAYS (OFTEN TOLD A PROBLEM W/POWERTRAIN OR TRANSMISSION) . AT DEALERS SERVICE DEPT, TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN AFTER TONS OF WORRY, CONCERN AND TIME SPENT, THAT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS CAR TENDS TO TRIP/TRIGGER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY WOULD JUST RESET IT SO AFTER AWHILE, I BEGAN TO DISREGARD THE LIGHT AS I WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST WEEKLY. APPROX 2 YRS AFTER PURCHASE, FILLED UP GAS TANK AND FUEL LIGHT SHOWED "LOW FUEL". WENT BACK UP TO FULL, DROPPED TO 1/2 AND BACK TO EMPTY. WENT BACK TO FULL AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND CONTINUED TO DO THIS. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS, CONSTANTLY STAYS AT EMPTY. CALLED REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD APPROX $700-800 TO DROP TANK AND REPLACE FUEL SENSOR WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD AND BEGAN TO TRACK ODOMETER AND REFILL TANK AFTER 200 MILES DRIVEN AFTER FILL UP. HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 5 YEARS. JAN 29,2011, I GO FOR EMISSION TEST. FAIL D/T LOW FUEL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. GO TO MECHANIC, APPROX $950 REPAIR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF...AND BACK ON NEXT DAY. READ THOUSANDS OF POSTS ONLINE AND AM FINDING MANY, MANY ENVOY OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEMS AS MINE. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON ENTIRE FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. PLEASE CALL FOR QUESTIONS/CLARIFICATION. *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING EMPTY CONTINUOUSLY AS I HAVE READ FROM MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. AT FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO, AT WHICH TIME THE MESSAGE IN ON THE LCD READING SAID "STOP ENGINE" AND "OIL PRESSURE LOW". I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY GAS STATION AND CHECKED THE OIL, WHICH WAS ONLY DOWN A 1/4 TANK. MY MECHANIC STOPPED THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE RESET ITSELF BUT ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS ANOTHER SENSOR PROBLEM LIKE THE FUEL SENSOR BUT IS NOT COMPLETELY SURE. I ONLY STARTED WITH THIS ISSUE TODAY BUT IT IS MORE WORRISOME TO ME THAN KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MUCH GAS SHOULD BE IN MY TANK. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW AND HAVE DRIVE 79000 MILES. I ALSO HAD A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH I BELIEVE IS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

GASOLINE AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES STOP WORKING SUDDENLY ON A GMC ENVOY 2005. *TR

SAME PROBLEM EVERYBODY ELSE IS HAVING WITH THERE ENVOYS, FLOATING FUEL NEEDLE, NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHICH OCCASIONALLY WILL GO OFF, BUT NOW I CAN'T PASS EMISSION INSPECTION BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE HAPPENS TO BE ON, AND NOW I AM FORCED TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION. THANKS GM, JUST WHAT I NEED A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. ONLY 60,00 MILES ON CAR AND I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS. COULD POSSIBLY BE LAST GM CAR BOUGHT IN THIS HOUSE. *TR

I WAS GETTING MY TANK FILLED WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE PEGGED OUT PAST FULL, THEN BOUNCED DOWN TO EMPTY. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES THEN WENT BACK TO FULL. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUED TO BOUNCE AROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE KNEW IF WE HAD ENOUGH GAS WAS TO FILL IT AND USE THE TRIP METER. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS CEASED TO MOVE AT ALL SINCE APRIL 2011. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL SINCE THE INCIDENT. I LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT IT IS A MAJOR PAIN TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WHEN 3 PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD RELY ON IT. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, ONLY TO LEARN THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I PRICED A NEW CLUSTER AND IT WAS OVER $500. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE STILL HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WITH OUR TRIP METER. GM SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY HAD NO PROBLEM TAKING A BAILOUT. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN BUYING GM PRODUCTS FOR YEARS, HOWEVER, NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WILL EVER OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT IF THEY CAN'T DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CONSUMERS, AND DO IT NOW. NOT 5 YEARS FROM NOW!! *TR

MY COMPLAINT AS WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS......IF GMC IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY GAS SENSORS, THEN WHY DO I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HALF OF THE BILL TO CORRECT IT ? MY CAR CANNOT PASS MY STATES EMISSIONS TESTING, BECAUSE AS LONG AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, IT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL...I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I WANT GMC TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENTIRE BILL...NOT HALF !! *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS INCORRECTLY. AT FIRST IT WOULD SHOW HALF TANK OR MORE WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS LESS GAS. NOW THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. THE AUDIBLE FUEL WARNING FOR LOW FUEL ALSO RINGS CONSTANTLY. AFTER RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE REPAIR WAS TOO COSTLY. WE WERE HOWEVER CHARGED A $100 FEE JUST FOR THE GMC DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. WE NOW TRACK FUEL USING THE TRIP COMPUTER. LOOK ONLINE FOR SOME HELP I WAS AMAZED TO FIND OUT THAT MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE AND ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK THE LIGHT CAME ON AS IF THE TANK WAS EMPTY. I ACTUALLY STOPPED WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND LOOKED AT MY RECEIPT AND QUESTIONED THE ATTENDANT. THE TANK WAS FULL. THE GAUGE WAS ERRATIC FROM THEN ON GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY IN A MATTER OF TWO TO THREE MILES AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY. THE FUNNY THING WAS THAT I JUST GOT A LETTER FROM GMC ADVISING ME OF THIS PROBLEM AND MAGNANIMOUSLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR 50% OF THE COST. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE TIMING. THINKING IT WAS A MINOR THING I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND FOUND OUT THAT I AM FACING A MINIMUM OF $600.00 FOR DROPPING MY GAS TANK AND CHECKING TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SERIOUSLY!!!???? WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?? WHY AM I BURDENED WITH THIS RIDICULOUS COST WHEN IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS A FALSE READING ON THE GAS GAUGE COULD MAKE THE DRIVER THINK THEY HAVE A FULL TANK WHEN IN FACT IT IS EMPTY AN THE VEHICLE COULD STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY REQUEST FOR ACTION FROM GMC TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AT THEIR EXPENSE - NOT THE CONSUMERS'. *TR

I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE HAD A UNIQUE PROBLEM, AFTER RECENTLY BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY GMC + THEIR DEALER, I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND REALIZE THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. THE ELECTRONIC GAS GAUGE + NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING AT 90 000. I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THEY WOULD PAY FOR HALF THE REPAIR TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED ON 10/20/11.WAITED ALL DAY AND WATCHED THE MECHANIC TEST DRIVE MY VEHICLE,I WAS WALKED TO THE CASHIER + PAID 146.14, PULLED OUT OF PARKING LOT AND THOUGHT THEY FORGOT TO RESET THE COMPUTER AS GAUGE + DASH WERE NOT WORKING.I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED AND WAS TOLD THE SENSOR WAS WORKING BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLUSTER PANEL + THAT WOULD COST 900.00.THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THE DEFECT AND RECALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED. I'VE RUN OUT OF GAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SMALL CHILDREN AT NIGHT. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS REGULARLY BLINK IN AND OUT ON MY 2005 ENVOY. THERE HAVE EVEN BEEN TIMES WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON FOR NO KNOWN REASON. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS. SCARY STUFF! PLUS, I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. ONE FELLOW SAID HE TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. RECALL - AND NOW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY HUSBAND WAS LAID OFF FROM HIS JOB AND WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE 1/2 THAT GM IS OFFERING TO FIX THE THING IN THEIR RECALL. IF THEY KNEW IT WAS A FAILURE OF THEIR EQUIPMENT WHY ARE THEY NOT PAYING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT? *TR

THE FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF THE PORT TO CHECK ENGINE CODE DOES NOT WORK. THE INSIDE COURTESY LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ONE BACK UP LIGHT WILL NOT WORK THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT GETS NO POWER AND WON'T WORK. ONLY 3 OF THE 5 SPEED SETTINGS ON THE FAN WORK. GMC DEALER SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING, AND THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THESE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER I AM ABLE TO FIND THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN VARIOUS CONSUMER SITES. GMC WON'T EVEN RETURN MY CALLS. *TR

JULY 26, 2011 I FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND NOTICED THAT MY GAS GAUGE SHOWED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ON EMPTY....AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THE GAS GAUGE STARTED WORKING PROPERLY. OVER THE NEXT MONTH IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS OFF AND ON. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH 2005 GMC ENVOY'(WEIRD HOW THE LETTER APPEARED AS I WAS STARTING TO HAVE THE ISSUE) AND THAT THEY WOULD PAY 50% OF MY COST TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A GMC DEALERSHIP. WITHIN TWO WEEKS MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I DO OR DO NOT HAVE IN MY VEHICLE. WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!! THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS !! GMC IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD CONSIDER IT A RECALL AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

LET ME START LIKE THIS. MY FAMILY INCLUDING MY GRANDFATHER ALWAYS HAD CHEVROLET OR GMC CARS. I WAS RAISED LEARNING HOW STRONG THEY WERE, SMOOTH DRIVING AND EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. I BOUGHT A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 2002 IN 2006 WHICH I LOVED, BUT UNFORTUNATELY SOMEBODY HAD CRASHED AND AFTER FIXING I SOLD. NEXT, I DECIDED TO BUY AN ENVOY SLT V6 2005 WITH 27KMILES IN 2008, WHICH I HAVE UNTIL TODAY AND I LOVE SO MUCH. SMOOTH DRIVE, COMFORTABLE, POWERFUL, GREAT LOOKING, SPACIOUS AND GREAT ENGINE. AS MY GRANDFATHER USED TO SAY, "SON ALWAYS HAVE A NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND THIS CAR WILL LAST FOREVER". I NEVER HAD ANY SERIOUS PROBLEM, EXCEPT NOW THAT THE FUEL SENSOR LEVEL IS DEAD AND I HAVE THE CHIME ALWAYS SIGNALIZING LOW FUEL EVEN IF I FILL OUT THE TANK. WELL I WAIT FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS FILLING OUT THE TANK AND TRACKING THE MILEAGE. 2 WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC WITH MY VIN NUMBER STANDING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY FIND OUT AND THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY 50% OF THE COST. I DID CALL THEM IN FACT TO KNOW THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE LETTER AND THEY CONFIRM THE ISSUE RECOMMENDING TO TAKE TO THE DEALER. I DID, AND THIS PROBLEM HAS A COST EQUIVALENT OF ALMOST A THOUSAND, WHICH WITH 50% OF DISCOUNT WITH THE LETTER WILL BE CLOSE TO FIVE HUNDRED. GMC IS AVOIDING HAVING THIS PAID 100% SINCE IT'S A RECOGNIZED AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT PART. MY CAR HAS 86K MILES TODAY AND ITS STILL WITH THE PROBLEM. I CALLED GMC MORE THAN 3 TIMES AND THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME "WE'LL PAY 50% OF THE TOTAL COST". THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! I WANT THIS SOLVED. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE !!! I WANT THIS PAID 100%. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2005 ENVOY XL GOES TO LOW FUEL ANYTIME AFTER 1/4 TANK LEFT. AFTER FILLING UP, IT WILL READ LOW FUEL FOR ABOUT 15 MILES. IT THEN FLUCTUATES FOR AWHILE BEFORE SETTLING ON WHAT I HOPE IS AN ACCURATE READING. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING 8 MONTHS AGO, TOOK TO GMC DEALER FOR SERVICE ESTIMATE. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THESE FUEL GAUGES ALWAYS GO OUT ON ENVOYS AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS $578.00 (PLUS TAX) - I CHOKED AND DID NOT GET REPAIRED. 3 MONTHS LATER AFTER TRYING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FUEL GAUGE - IT BECAME A NIGHTMARE TO KNOW IF WE HAD GAS IN THE VEHICLE OR NOT, I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID "WE SEE THIS FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM ALL THE TIME ON THE ENVOYS"... THEY SAID THE GMC PARTS WERE A RIP-OFF AND EXPENSIVE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO USE GMC PARTS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE AND THEY QUOTED $408.00 (PLUS TAX) FOR THE REPAIR. THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE REPAIR SHOP SAID HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE NOT HAD A RECALL ON THIS SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF GMC'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HE SAID WE MAY WANT TO WAIT ON THE REPAIR TO SEE IF GM HAS A RECALL. ON AUGUST 30, I RECEIVED A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FROM GMC STATING AN ISSUE WITH ENVOYS AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, GMC STATED THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR. WHAT A JOKE, 50% OF A $600 REPAIR BILL FOR A PROBLEM THEY ADMIT IN WRITING IS A SCAM TO TRY AND GET AS MANY PEOPLE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ($300) BEFORE THE GOV'T. MANDATES A RECALL. I CALLED GMC AND REQUESTED A 100% PAID REPAIR AND THEY REFUSED. I WILL BE GLAD TO FORWARD THE "FUEL SENSOR FAILURE" LETTER IF YOU NEED. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND OWNERS OF GMC ENVOYS THAT WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATIVE - THANK YOU IN ADVANCE... *TR *KB

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT GO ABOVE 1/8 TANK. SPEEDOMETER "STICKS" USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WHEN STOPPED DOES NOT RETURN TO ZERO THEN WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN THE NEW SPEED IS ACCUMULATING ON "STUCK" SPEED. SOMETIMES SPEEDOMETER "STICKS" BEFORE REACHING STEADY SPEED AND WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED THE READING IS BELOW ZERO IN THIS SCENARIO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN THE "REGISTERED" SPEED IS BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. AS I DRIVE 1,000 MILES A WEEK, IT IS QUITE IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN MY TANK AND OF COURSE HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING. *KB

THE FUEL SYSTEM STARTED TO MALFUNCTION AROUND THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPT 2010. I WAS GOING ON VACATION STOPPED TO GET GAS, AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER SHUTTING THE ENVOY OFF AND RESTARTING IT THE GAUGE SEEMED TO WORK. AS THE DAYS WENT ON THE GAUGE COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON. I RESET MY TRIP METER AFTER EVERY FILL UP, HOW ANNOYING. I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WITH THIS COMPLAINT. I REC'D A LETTER THAT GM STATES ITS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THE ONLY FIX A NEW FUEL PUMP FROM A DEALER AT 50% OFF? WHO CAN AFFORD DEALER PRICES? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT THAT GM IS FAILING TO OWN UP TO. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *KB

"GMC ENVOY FUEL SENSOR MAY FAIL PREMATURELY". I GOT THIS INFORMATION FROM GM IN A LETTER. THEY WILL PAY 1/2 COST TO HAVE IT REPLACED IF THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND HAS =<120K MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS 148K AND IS A 2005 MODEL. GM TELLS ME THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE HIGHER MILES. I CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THE FUEL SENSOR MAY READ EMPTY EVEN WHEN FULL OR FULL WHEN IN FACT THE TANK IS EMPTY TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO HAVE GM RECALL THE AFFECTED MODELS AND REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME OR THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO IN FACT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND HOPE THAT I HAVE PROVIDED ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD TO TAKE POSITIVE ACTION. *KB

THE FUEL SENSING SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE FIRST SYMPTOM WAS A FUEL GAUGE REGISTERING 0 AND A CHECK FUEL LEVEL MESSAGE AFTER I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE GAUGE WOULD SLOWLY CLIMB TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE HALF FULL, BUT OFTEN RETURN TO 0 WITH THE MESSAGE OCCURRING WHENEVER STOPPING THE CAR OR ON ENGINE STARTUP. NOW THE GAUGE SELDOM GOES ABOVE A QUARTER FULL, EVEN THOUGH I TYPICALLY KEEP THE TANK MORE THAN HALF FULL. I AM ABLE TO ESTIMATE FUEL CONSUMED USING THE TRIP ODOMETER, BUT THIS IS NOT SATISFACTORY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR AND THE DEALER IS UNWILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. *TR

OUR 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS ALWAYS HAD A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND HAS CAUSED OUR FAMILY TO BE STRANDED A FEW TIMES WITHOUT GAS WHILE TRAVELING FAR FROM HOME. WE TOOK IT INTO A GMC DEALER WHO WANTED $ 950 FOR PARTS AND REPAIRS. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. GMC HAS ALWAYS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT OFFERED TO FIX IT NOR HAVE A RECALL ON THIS FAULTY GAS GAUGE. 856,000 GM SUVS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FAULTY FUEL GAUGES FEDERAL REGULATORS ARE INVESTIGATING 865,000 GENERAL MOTORS SUVS, INCLUDING THE 2005- ?07 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND BUICK RAINIER,FOR FAULTY FUEL GAUGES THAT ARE INACCURATE. THE 2005-?06 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT, THE 2005-?07 GMC ENVOY, THE 2005-?06 GMC ENVOY AND THE 2005-?07 SAAB 9-7X ARE ALSO AFFECTED VEHICLES BEING INVESTIGATED.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES IN 2006. WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR THE CLUSTER PANEL (GAUGES) STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPAIR AS THE ENTIRE CLUSTER PANEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVE AND REPLACED. AFTER TALKING WITH CO-WORKERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM; I LATER DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT YOU HAD TO BE THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING THE CLUSTER PANEL REPAIRED, MY GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I AM TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED FOR REPAIR AND THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE EITHER. THE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO IS NON-OPERATIONAL. THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE SEVERAL MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT I AM MOST DISTURBED BY THE FACT THAT AFTER SPENDING THE MONEY TO HAVE THE CLUSTER PANEL FIXED MY GAS GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND STAYS THERE FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT FINALLY SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF BUT I AM UNSURE IF IT IS CORRECT AT ALL TIMES AND AFRAID IT WILL SHOW THERE IS GAS AND RUN OUT. I HAVE SEEN WHERE SEVERAL OF ENVOY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL GM SHOULD MAKE CORRECT THESE SENSORS.

I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP TO FULL AROUND 2 MONTHS AGO. AFTER I WAS DONE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED THE GAUGE DIPPED TO EMPTY AND SHOWED THAT I WAS LOW ON FUEL. I WENT IN AND HAD THE ATTENDANT VERIFY THAT INDEED I DID HAVE GAS DISPENSED INTO MY TANK. THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AND EVER SINCE HAS SHOWN EMPTY TO 1/4 OR 3/8 OF A TANK, NEVER SHOWING THE SAME READING FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME. I HAVE A FAMILY AND DO WORRY FOR THEIR SAFETY. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING TRULY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THERE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, AND THE COST IS WAY TO STEEP TO REPAIR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE GM DEALERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS, AND HAVE FOUND THAT THEY LIKE TO PRETEND THAT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE BEFORE. VERY UNCOOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS FOR MYSELF OF COURSE, BUT ALSO FOR THOSE PURCHASING THESE VEHICLES USED FROM PRIVATE PARTIES WITHOUT BEING NOTIFIED OF THIS ACUTE AND WIDESPREAD PARTS FAILURE, WHICH INDEED MUST BE DEFECTIVE IF IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY. SAFETY IS OF COURSE THE BIGGEST ISSUE HERE, AND GM SHOULD TAKE NOTE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED IN 2006 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING SEVERAL DAYS A YEAR. NOW MY GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. I FILL IT UP AND IT STARTS BLINKING WITH THE RED LIGHT THAT ITS EMPTY.

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. AFTER FILLING UP TANK WITH GAS, FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY. AFTER SOME DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE INDICATES A CHANGING LEVEL OF FUEL WITH THE RANGE INDICATOR FLUCTUATING FROM 0 TO ~114 MILES LEFT. USUALLY GAUGE READS 0 REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL INDICATE A HIGHER READING THAN WHAT THE TANK ACTUALLY HOLDS. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED 1 INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE THE GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS STILL FUEL IN THE TANK. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM TO BE WITH THE SENDING UNIT ON THE GAS TANK.

I BOUGHT A 2005 GMC ENVOY ROUGHLY 2 YEARS AGO WITH 67K AND AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS THE SENSOR READS TANK AS EMPTY DIRECTLY AFTER AND SEEMS TO FLUCTUATE TO WHATEVER IT WANTS THE REST OF THE TIME. UPON RESEARCHING THE INTERNET WITH THIS ISSUE IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND GMC IS NOT WILLING TO HELP BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY RISK. I PERSONALLY DO SEE THIS AS A SAFETY RISK, IF YOU DON'T PAY PROPER ATTENTION YOU COULD RUN OUT OF GAS AND BE STRANDED ANYWHERE.

MY HUSBAND FILLED THE ENVOY WITH GAS, AND WHEN WE DROVE OFF WE NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY. WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND WE HADN'T ACTUALLY PUMPED GAS, SO WE DROVE A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD TO ANOTHER GAS STATION TO SEE IF WE COULD GET MORE GAS. WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO PUMP LESS THAN A GALLON, SO WE FIGURED OUT THE GAUGE WASN'T READING CORRECTLY. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 45 MINUTES THE GAUGE SLOWLY MOVED FROM EMPTY TO HALF FULL, WOULD DROP BACK TO EMPTY AT RANDOM POINTS (SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING). EVER SINCE THIS TIME OUR GAUGE HAS FLUCTUATED WILDLY, READING EMPTY THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, BUT OCCASIONALLY MOVING ABOUT FROM A QUARTER FULL TO HALF THEN BACK TO EMPTY. WE HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED A FIX AS WE CANNOT AFFORD ANYTHING EXTRA AT THIS POINT DUE TO MY HUSBAND BEING DIAGNOSED WITH A TERMINAL DISEASE AND THE RESULTING MEDICAL BILLS PILING UP. *TR

AFTER READING ALL THESE REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS I'M SORRY I BOUGHT IT. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP GETTING IT FIXED.

ONCE I FILLED UP, GOT IN THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE IGNITION, THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT MOVE FROM EMPTY TO FULL.

THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ENVOY AND CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. THERE IS NO WARNING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL OR SUGGESTION THAT THE GAUGE AND SENSORS BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR - BETWEEN $600 AND $900.

I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON FUEL, BUT IN REALITY, THE VEHICLE WAS FULL OF GASOLINE. I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAUGE WILL DISPLAY HALF OF A TANK. WHEN HALF OF A TANK OF FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE DISPLAYS THAT IT IS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,500. *TR

IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE AMOUNT OF FUEL YOU HAVE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IS INOPERABLE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2004 -2007 GMC ENVOY, CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS AND BUICK RANIER. I KNOW AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS NOT A CLASS ACTION ISSUE BUT TO MANY COMMENTS ARE ON THE INTERNET. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT INTERSECTIONS AND PARKING LOTS WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AFTER BEING STOPPED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE WITH THE GM PRODUCTS. GM SHOULD BE RECALL ALL VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNITS AT NO CHARGE OR A REDUCED CHARGE(COST OF PART OR LABOR WHICHEVER IS THE LEAST COST TO THE OWNER). THE GOVERNMENT HAS BAILED THEM OUT NOW IT IS TIME FOR GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. ALSO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ALSO AND THIS RESULTED IN SPEEDING TICKETS. I HAVE REPLACED WITH A REMANUFACTURED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT THE COST OF $150.00 VS $600.00 WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALER.

THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT HAS A VARIABLE RESISTOR ATTACHED TO A FLOAT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. AS YOU USE FUEL, THE FLOAT CHANGES POSITION (DOWNWARDS) CAUSING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR TO CHANGE VALUE. THE CHANGE IN RESISTANCE CAUSES A CHANGE IN THE VOLTAGE SENT TO THE FUEL GAGE. MY P0463 ERROR IS SAYING THAT THE VARIABLE RESISTOR IS SHOWING HIGH INPUT, INSTEAD OF A TYPICAL SMALL VALUE. THIS MEANS THAT THE VARIABLE RESISTOR OR SOMETHING ELSE INSIDE THE SENDER UNIT IS CAUSING THE ECM TO "SEE" AN INVALID VOLTAGE ON THE FUEL GAGE CIRCUIT. IF THE VOLTAGE IS TOO HIGH THEN THE RESISTANCE IS TOO HIGH. POSSIBLY A BAD CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ECU AND THE SENDER OR A GROUNDING PROBLEM.

I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY. I CAN REGISTER 1/4 A TANK BUT THE MINUTE I FILL, THE GAUGE DROPS BELOW EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE TO DRIVE AT LEAST 25 MILES TO HAVE IT REGISTER EVEN A 1/4 OF A TANK AND A FULL 70-85 MILES FOR THE GAUGE TO GET TO SHOW A MORE ACCURATE LEVEL. THE MECHANIC I WENT TO ADMITTED IT WAS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAUSING THE ISSUE BUT ADVISED ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP. HE QUOTED $505 FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND AN ADDITIONAL $360 FOR THE LABOR ITS NOT FIXED I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, WHAT HAPPENS IF I RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A TIGHT TURN ON A HILL AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND THE STEERING LOCKS?

FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS MY 2005 GMC ENVOY DENALI HAS HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. AFTER RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY AND ILLUMINATE THE EMPTY TANK WARNING LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. WITHIN A FEW MILES THE FUEL GAUGE WILL BEGIN TO FLUCTUATE WILDLY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT. THE FUEL GAUGE SOMETIMES BEGINS TO OPERATE AGAIN AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW DAYS. CAR HAS BECOME UNSAFE BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN IT AND EMPTY TANK SENSOR "CRIES WOLF." ALSO, THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEGUN TO REGISTER A FULL TANK WHEN REALLY THE GAS TANK IS NEAR EMPTY. ONCE YOU START DRIVING THE FUEL GAUGE BEGINS TO FALL SLOWLY UNTIL ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT FINALLY REGISTERS THE PROPER GAS LEVEL... I'VE THOUGHT MY HUSBAND FILLED UP THE TANK AND ALMOST RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE DIDN'T TELL ME I WAS OUT OF GAS UNTIL I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY STUCK IN TRAFFIC - AWAY FROM A NEARBY GAS STATION. THE TRIP ODOMETER IS NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE SO IT CANNOT BE RELIED UPON. (MPG VARY DEPENDING OUT TEMPERATURE, CITY VS. HIGHWAY MILES, MPH, ETC). MESSAGE BOARDS SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE CAR STALLING UNEXPECTEDLY, EVEN DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL.

SPORADIC FAILURE OF SPEEDOMETER - REGISTERS CORRECTLY ONE MOMENT, OR MAY READ 30 MPH OR 0 MPG WHEN KEEPING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. WHILE THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EACH TRIP, IT DOES OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES EACH WEEK. FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION - READS ONE-HALF TANK AT 179 MILES; 20 MILES LATER READS ONE-QUARTER TANK. ISSUES "FUEL LEVEL LOW" WARNING AFTER REFUELING AND FOR NEXT 3 TO 4 TIMES VEHICLE IS STARTED HEADLIGHTS DIM BRIEFLY WHEN ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED. FREQUENT NEED TO REPLACE EXTERIOR LAMPS THE PROBLEMS FIRST MANIFEST IN THE NEED TO REPEATEDLY CHANGE BRAKE AND TAILLIGHT BULBS, AND THE DIMMING OF THE HEADLIGHTS, WHICH CONTINUES. THEN, SPORADICALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING, OR ONLY REGISTERED A FRACTION OF THE SPEED THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING. AFTER THAT, AT START UP, THE "FUEL LEVEL LOW" WARNING, WHICH ACTIVATES WHEN THE VEHICLE DETERMINES IT HAS FUEL TO TRAVEL 40 ADDITIONAL MILES, STARTED TO CHIME WHEN THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE-HALF TANK OF FUEL. THE WARNING ALSO NOW ISSUES WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS REFUELED. THE POTENTIAL FAILURE OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM PRESENTS A CLEAR HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AND OTHERS - THE DRIVER WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE HE IS GOING, AND OTHER DRIVERS WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE VEHICLE HEADING TOWARD THEM. THE FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES COULD LEAD TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A DISABLED VEHICLE OR ITS DRIVER BEING HIT BY ANOTHER. IN ADDITION, DEPENDING ON THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION, THE VEHICLE COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FIRE. WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER, THE DRIVER CAN EASILY TRAVEL TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS, OR ENDANGER HIMSELF AND OTHERS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. CURRENTLY, UNTIL THE SPORADIC PROBLEMS BECOME REGULAR, THE GARAGE WILL NOT FIX THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER HAND HAS COMPLETELY DROPPED BELOW THE 120 MPH MARK, ALTHOUGH FOR A FEW WEEKS IT WOULD REGISTER THAT I WAS DRIVING MUCH FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC AROUND ME. MOREOVER, IT WOULD REGISTER 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. YET, IT HAS SINCE STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO RECENTLY STALLED IN REVERSE AND SEVERAL TIMES HAS SURGED/ACCELERATED QUICKLY WHEN I AM DRIVING SLOWLY AND PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE.

AFTER A FEW WEEKS IT STOPPED WORKING IN ANY MANNER AND CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN, CAUSING THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR TO GO ON AND OFF. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS JUST BEEN FILLED WITH GAS AND THE GAS CAP TIGHTENED. THE ONLY WAY TO MONITOR GAS AT THIS TIME IS THROUGH TRACKING MILEAGE. VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHEN IDLE. THE STALLING IS NOTED TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY THE LONGER THIS GOES UNREPAIRED. STALLING AT LIGHTS, IN PARKING LOTS AND WHILE BACKING UP PUTS US AT RISK OF BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALSO THE INABILITY TO ACCURATELY MONITOR THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE PUTS MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF BEING STRANDED WHILE TRAVELING. THE ONLY OTHER PERSON I KNOW WITH THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. CORRECTION IS REPLACEMENT OF THE PART WHICH IS BETWEEN $600 AND $800. *TW

THERE WERE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURES, WHEN THE CONTACT TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATED AND THEN SURGED. THE WEATHER STRIPPING ON THE REAR DOORS HAS BEEN REPAIRED THREE TIMES. THE ABS WOULD SKIP ON A BUMPY ROAD AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AT ONE POINT THE CONTACT COULD SMELL FUEL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND VEHICLE HAD VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT AIR VALVE BECAME STUCK AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE REAR DOOR HINGES SQUEAKED. THIS WINTER IT WON'T GO TO FULL VOLTAGE UNTIL A MINUTE ELAPSED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED. THE ORIGINAL FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3829, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23700.*AK THE BRAKES WERE INOPERATIVE, THE BELTS SQUEAKED, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY, THE REAR WIPER WOULD ONLY WIPE THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK WINDSHIELD. A NEW FUEL NECK WAS INSTALLED. UPDATED 03/15/07. *JB

FIRST THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE DEALER REPLACED A BELT FOR 200.00. SECONDLY THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED READING FUEL LEVELS, DEALER STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS DEAD AND WOULD COST 300.00 TO REPLACE. NEXT THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OVER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. ALSO THEY HAD A SUNROOF INSTALLED FOR ME. A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE THE SUNROOF STARTED TO OPEN AND CLOSE EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, IT WAS REPAIRED BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. *NM

MY SON WAS KILLED IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT ON 4/18/06. HE WAS EJECTED THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IN WHICH THE TOP PART OF THE DOOR WAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR DURING THE ROLLOVER. BY LOOKING AT THE TIRE TRACKS OF THE ACCIDENT, HE WAS JUST ENTERING THE ON RAMP OF THE ROAD AND THE TRACKS SHOW NO SKID MARKS, SWERVING, ETC, JUST A STRAIGHT LINE INTO THE DITCH AS IF HE DIDNT HAVE CONTROL OF THE STEERING OR BRAKES, POSSIBLE STALLING ?? BOTH TIRES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WERE FLATTENED. AIR BAGS WERE NEVER DEPLOYED. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLS AND OPERATES AT A REDUCED SPEED. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK AT NIGHT AND THE GAS GAUGE PROVIDES AN INCORRECT DISPLAY OF THE PROPER FUEL LEVEL. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW DROPPED THE LIGHTS BECAME DIM AND THE BATTERY FAILED. UPDATED 04/06/06. *JB
