FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED READING INACCURATELY AND SHOWING EITHER A FULL TANK OR AN EMPTY TANK. FINALLY IT JUST WENT TO THE EMPTY SIDE OF THE GAUGE. I USED THE ODOMETER TO ESTIMATE GAS USAGE AND NEVER LET IT GO OVER 300 MILES W/O A FILL UP. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, THE REPAIR SHOP DROPPED THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, THE BILL WAS APPROXIMATELY $400.00. *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING FUEL GAUGE ISSUES. THIS HAS CAUSED US TO RUN OUT OF FUEL AND NOW NOT BE ABLE TO RELY ON THE AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING. THIS SHOWS BOTH ON THE ANALOG GAUGE AND THE MILE REMAINING SECTION OF THE SUVS DASH DISPLAY SYSTEM. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY THEN JUMPS TO FULL THEN DROPS DOWN TO EMPTY AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT NOW AND CREATES A DISTRUST IN THE STATUS OF THE VEHICLE. .I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND NO RESPONSE TO FIX THIS PERSISTENT ISSUE BY GMC. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER EXITING INTERSTATE AND PULLING INTO PARKING LOT OF OUR CHILD CARE PROVIDER, CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND CAME TO A STOP. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS APPROX 1/4 TANK OF GAS. WALKED TO GAS STATION WITH MY TWO CHILDREN TO BUY A GAS CAN AND FILL TANK UP. GAS GAUGE HAS CONTINUED TO BE INACCURATE. WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL, THE "LOW GAS LIGHT" TURNS ON. AFTER DRIVING APPROX 50 MILES, LIGHT GOES OFF AND GAUGE INDICATED CAR HAS APPROX 3/4 TANK, ALTHOUGH THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 3/4 TANK FULL AND 1/4 TANK FULL. WE NOW HAVE TO SET THE "TRIP" BUTTON TO 0 EVERY TIME WE FILL THE ENVOY WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AND WE REFILL WHEN MILAGE IS AT APPROX 250 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT WE HAVE ADDED 23 GALLONS OF GAS (ALMOST A COMPLETELY EMPTY TANK) AND GAS GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS STILL A 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE GAS GAUGE FIXED AT THIS TIME. HAVE BEEN QUOTED BY ONE GMC DEALER SHIP THAT COST WOULD BE $600-800.

TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER FILLING UP MY 2006 ENVOY XL WITH GAS, A PREVIOUSLY NORMALLY FUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY READ EMPTY AND THE AUDIBLE WARNING KEPT SOUNDING THOUGH I KNEW IT HAD A FULL TANK. THE GAUGE WOULD START TO GO UP, BUT THEN WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, IT WOULD READ EMPTY AGAIN. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE TANK. A TRIP TO THE DEALER SHOWED THAT I HAD A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. THEY SAID THAT IF I DROVE IT AROUND LIKE THAT THE VEHICLE COULD SUDDENLY STALL. I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL SENSOR REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY RIGHT AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED. THE GAUGE WILL THEN SLOWLY GO UP, THEN GO UP AND DOWN RANDOMLY, RESULTING IN NEVER KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS A REAL POSSIBILITY AT ANY TIME. THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE SENDING UNIT, BUT NO REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE YET. *TR

AFTER SEEING THAT THERE IS A PROBE INTO THE GM VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM, I'D LIKE TO SHARE MY CONCERN AS WELL. WE PURCHASED A 2006 GMC ENVOY THAT HAD 45,000 ON IT IN FROM A DEALER IN OHIO BACK IN MARCH 2009. APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 2009, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STARTING TO ACT UP, GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND EMPTY TO FULL AT DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SOME DAYS IT WAS FINE AND OTHER DAYS IT WAS ACTING CRAZY. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP HERE IN LANSING AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY A FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM AND WOULD BE ABOUT $800-$900 TO REPLACE. WELL, I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET IT REPAIRED AT THE TIME BUT MY SERVICEMAN FROM CRIPPEN GMC SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS LIKE MINE. I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT WAS MORE THAN JUST MINE AS I HAVE 2 RELATIVES (BROTHER-IN-LAW AND COUSIN) WHO ALSO OWN THE GMC ENVOY YET BOTH ARE DIFFERENT YEARS AND THEY HAVE THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW PAID TO HAVE HIS REPLACED AND HAS SINCE SOLD THAT VEHICLE AND BOUGHT A NEWER MODEL AND IT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP NOTICED IT BEFORE HE PICKED IT UP AND REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR PRIOR TO HIM PICKING IT UP. MY COUSIN AND I HOWEVER ARE CURRENTLY USING OUR MILEAGE READ TO DETERMINE ROUGHLY HOW MUCH FUEL WE ACTUALLY HAVE. WHEN I ASKED MARK, MY SERVICEMAN AT CRIPPEN IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT. THIS HAS TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN REPORTED AS WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF 3 RELATIVES WITH THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE, BUT ALL ARE DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND IF YOU COUNT MY BROTHER-IN-LAWS NEWER PURCHASE, THAT WOULD BRING THE TOTAL VEHICLES TO FOUR (4) JUST IN OUR FAMILY. THERE DEFINATELY HAS TO BE A PRODUCT ISSUE WITHIN THE FUEL SENSORING UNIT

THE GAS GAUGE IS READING EMPTY ALTHOUGH JUST FILLED WITH GAS. IT STARTED FLUCTUATING BUT NOW IT JUST REMAINS ON EMPTY DESPITE GAS TANK BEING FULL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS CHANGED FREE OF CHANGE BECAUSE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE WITH THE GAS GAUGE OF THIS CAR AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD OF NOT KNOWING WHEN YOU NEED TO REFILL, VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY THREE LITTLE CHILDREN IN IT AND COSTLY REPAIRS. GMC MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

WE REQUEST THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON THE 2006 GMC ENVOY. RECENTLY, WE FILLED UP THE GAS TANK, STARTED THE CAR AND THE GAUGE WENT TO FULL, WE STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY, THEN THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY. NOW, THE GAUGE CONTINUALLY FLUCTUATES SOMEWHERE BETWEEN EMPTY AND 1/4 TO 1/2 FULL SO WE NEVER KNOW. THE REPAIR IS EXTREMELY COSTLY AND OUR RESEARCH SHOWS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE FAILURES SEEM TO CONVENIENTLY OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. WITHOUT A PROPER FUNCTIONING GAUGE, WE HAVE TO CONTINUALLY ESTIMATE THE GAS LEVEL AND RUN THE RISK OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT/INJURY IF OUR VEHICLE SHOULD STALL AND/OR RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR
