2005 ENVOY, FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY BECAME ERRATIC, READING EMPTY WHEN TANK WAS FULL. INITIALLY, AFTER FILLING TANK, FUEL GAUGE WOULD CONTINUE TO READ EMPTY UNTIL DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MILES. NOW RARELY READS ABOVE EMPTY. GAS GAUGE IS NOW COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE, HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF RUNNING THE CAR OUT OF GAS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION. I FILLED THE TANK OF MY VEHICLE, 2005 GMC ENVOY XL, I RAN OUT OF GAS GOING UP AN INCLINED LEVEL OF A PARKING GARAGE TWO STORIES UNDERGROUND DURING RUSH HOUR IN D.C. I COULD HAVE EASILY LET MY SUV RUN INTO THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME BUT, I WAS FORTUNATE TO REACT QUICKLY AND AVOID HARM'S WAY. THE PROBLEM WITH GAUGE IS IT WILL READ FULL WHEN EMPTY AT TIMES AND; SHORTLY THEREAFTER, YOU HAVE TOTAL FAILURE OF THE GAUGE - IT WILL NO LONGER PROPERLY READ OR REGISTER HOW MUCH GAS ONE HAS IN THEIR FUEL TANK. I THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT BE A LIMITED PROBLEM TO A FEW SUVS MANUFACTURED BY GMC BUT, AFTER DOING RESEARCH OF SEVERAL CAR FORUMS INTERNET SITES I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PURCHASED A GM WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM - INCLUDING SOME VEHICLES OLDER THAN THE YEAR 2000. WHAT RECOURSE DO WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE , IF ANY? THE POSSIBILITY OIF DAMAGE OR A VEHICLE CRASH WAS AVOIDED, AS I REACTED QUICKLY TO AVOID NEAR-DISASTER WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE , OR EVEN, WORSE, HITTING A NATURAL GAS PIPE IN THE PARKING GARAGE. *TR

I HAVE GMC ENVOY 2005. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. BASICALLY SOMETIMES IT GETS STUCK PAST 120, SOMETIMES AT 0 OR IN BETWEEN. I COULD BE DRIVING 30 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE SHOWING 110 MPH. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON GMC 2005 ENVOY, BUT THE COMPANY IS ONLY TAKING A RESPONSIBILITY ON MODELS 2002-2004. I HAVE CALLED AROUND DEALER SHOP AND THEY SAID GMC IS ONLY WILLING TO FIX IF THE CAR IS BETWEEN 2002 AND 2005, EVENTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. ALMOST ABOUT EVERYONE I TALKED TO, WHO OWNS GMC ENVOY 2005 INDICATED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I REALLY THINK GMC SHOULD OWN TO ITS DEFECT AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

IN REFERENCE TO DP10-001. I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS AN ERRATIC GAS GAUGE AS WELL. AFTER RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY AND ILLUMINATE THE EMPTY TANK WARNING LIGHT. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES, THE GAUGE WILL RETURN TO THE FULL POSITION, BUT WILL FLUCTUATE OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS POSSIBLE FAULTY SENDING UNIT, FAULTY GAUGE AND FAULTY SENSORS ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE IS ON EMPTY. THE "LOW FUEL' INDICATOR ON THE DASH WILL BLINK RANDOMLY AND "DING" TO DRAW MY ATTENTION TO IT. THE GAS CAP WAS REPLACED A WEEK LATER BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. IT CONTINUES TO READ "EMPTY." SINCE THEN THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. 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. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAVE CALLED THE NATIONAL GMC DEALER TO DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINT(S). *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO BECOME ERRATIC IN NOVEMBER OF 09. AT THAT TIME IT WOULD WORK SOME TIMES AND NOT OTHERS. 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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. HE STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH OR VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE HIGH BEAMS IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHICH DISTRACTS DRIVERS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58000.
