FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE IS MALFUNCTIONING IN MY 2005 GMC ENVOY (VIN # [XXX]) WHEREAS IT DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE.....I CAN FILL IT COMPLETELY UP AND IT WILL SHOW PAST THE EMPTY MARK AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL SHOW 1/4 TANK RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS 3X (FORTUNATELY NOT ON A BUSY THOROUGHFARE), BUT THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT EVER KNOWING FOR CERTAIN HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK OR NOT. IT IS SO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT MY GAS GAUGE 'DINGS' OFF AND ON ALL THE TIME INDICATING THAT I AM LOW ON FUEL EVEN AFTER I HAVE FILLED THE VEHICLE UP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

ON REGULAR BASIS WOULD ADD 10 GALLONS PER FILL UP, THEN DURING A LONG TRIP FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY: WHICH THEN THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. THEN WENT UP TO ABOUT HALF. NOW AFTER 10 GAL. FILL THE GAUGE READ EMPTY OR ABOUT 1/4. HAVE NOT NONE MUCH AFTER LEARNING THIS IS A VERY COMMON GM PROBLEM. FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE (DRIVING 27 YEARS) RAN OUT OF GAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 4WAY INTERSECTION, HONEST TRUTH. DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MY FAMILY IN CAR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE READING ON THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. GAUGE MOSTLY READS EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL SHOW THERE IS MORE GAS THAN IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 GMC ENVOY. ON AUGUST 20, 2010, I TOOK MY CAR TO FILL UP PRIOR TO TAKING A TRIP FROM MARYLAND TO VIRGINIA. ONCE I FILLED UP, GOT IN THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE IGNITION, THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT MOVE FROM EMPTY TO FULL. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE (SOMEWHERE AROUND 60 MILES) THE GAS GAUGE MOVED TO 1/2,THEN A 1/4 TANK. IT HAS BEEN ALL DOWNHILL SINCE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10/25/10 (MILEAGE WAS AT 77263) AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR THE SENSOR WHICH THEY ARE STATING AS THE ISSUE. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED AS I CANNOT AFFORD THIS TYPE OF EXPENSE. I BASICALLY DRIVE ESTIMATING MY MILEAGE AFTER EVERY FILL UP WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. IN DECEMBER 2010, I GOT STRANDED BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED ON THE ENTRANCE HIGHWAY TO I-95 WITHOUT GAS, THANK GOD THAT I HAVE AAA. NOW I HEAR THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE GMC ENVOY FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS REGARDING THE SAME MATTER (SEE LINK BELOW) HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/GMC/ENVOY/FUEL+SYSTEM I ALSO SAW AN ARTICLE AT: (LINK BELOW REGARDING YOUR INVESTIGATION HTTP://NEWS.YAHOO.COM/S/NM/20110502/BS_NM/US_USA_AUTOS_PROBES I CONTACTED GMC WHO SAID THAT BECAUSE THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A SENSOR ISSUE (NOT A CLUSTER ISSUE) THEY CAN'T HELP. PLEASE HELP US. GMC SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. *TR

OUR 2005 ENVOY HAD A GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTION AROUND 2 TO 3 YEARS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT AS BRAND NEW. GOOD THING IT WAS STILL COVERED BY OUR INSURANCE BUT AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE INSURANCE ANYMORE SINCE IT'S ALREADY PASS 3 YEARS. HAVING IT FIXED IS QUITE COSTLY. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE 285 PEOPLE WHO COMPLAINED ON THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO HOPE THAT GMC WILL DO A RECALL ON 2005 GMC ENVOYS. *TR

THOUGH I HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR, I PUT IN 13.5 GALLONS OF FUEL. WHEN I TURNED ON THE ENGINE, INSTEAD OF THE GAS GAUGE SHOWING FULL, THE INDICATOR DROPPED DOWN TO EMPTY AND THE "LOW FUEL" LIGHTS WENT ON. THIS CONTINUED WITH THE INDICATOR SHOWING 1/4 FULL, EMPTY, FULL, EMPTY UNTIL SEVERAL DAYS LATER, WHEN IT SETTLED AT 3/4 FULL. EVERY TIME I HAVE ADDED FUEL TO THE GAS TANK, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO WRITE DOWN MY MILAGE AND KEEP TRACK OF HOW FAR I HAVE DRIVEN IN ORDER TO ESTIMATE WHEN I NEED FUEL. I CANNOT TRUST WHAT THE GAUGE READS.
