ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
SMELL OF EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING. NOTICED ENGINE MADE A TICKING SOUND WHICH WENT AWAY AFTER ENGINE GOT WARM. BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO A SERVICE CENTER AND A DIAGNOSIS OF A CRACKED EXHAUST WAS MADE. HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER AND RNVOY OWNERS COMPLAINTS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IN THE CAB I AM ENTERING THIS INTO THE SAFETY COMPLAINT DATABASE. *TT

FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. VEHICLE READS FULL ONE MINUTE AND EMPTY THE NEXT. VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS FIXED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS OCCURRED I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND THAT GMC IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11014 AS PART OF MY COMPLAINT. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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.

THE VEHICLE THEN SUDDENLY STALLED DUE TO THE LACK OF FUEL PRESENT IN THE FUEL TANK. THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DISPENSED THE REQUIRED FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP10001 WHICH CLOSED AND A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION HAD BEEN OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 81,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY READS EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. I CAN FILL THE VEHICLE UP, OR ONLY PUT $20 IN, AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL STILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL GAS IN THE VEHICLE. IT READS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATION AS A DRIVER NEVER REALLY KNOWS HOW MUCH GASOLINE THEY HAVE IN THEIR TANK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
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. WHEN I FOUND THE LINK TO THIS WEBSITE AND FORM AND THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH A SHOT TO HOPEFULLY GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR MYSELF AND THE MANY OTHERS THAT SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN 2008, OUR VEHICLE'S GAS GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE ON THE AMOUNT OF GAS. WE WOULD FILL IT UP AND THE GAUGE WOULD SHOW FULL BUT AS SOON AS WE WOULD START DRIVING WOULD DROP DOWN TO EMPTY AND EVENTUALLY AS OF TODAY WHEN WE FILL OUT VEHICLE UP ALL THE WAY, THE GUAGE ONLY SHOWS LESS THAN A 1/4 FULL THEN DROPS TO EMPTY. AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND THE GAUGE SHOWING FULL AND DROPPING TO 1/4 FULL THEN I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING MY GMC ENVOY TO SHUT DOWN AND MY STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITH MUCH FORCE TO THE WHEEL. AS OF TODAY, OUR GAUGE NO LONGER RISES TO SHOW ANY SORT OF AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. WE USE THE GAS USED ON THE DASH TO KEEP TRACK OR MILEAGE TO TRACK WHEN WE NEED TO FILL UP AND MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET DOWN TO CLOSE TO EMPTY. WE HAVE NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE WE HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MADE BY GMC. I HAVE CALLED GMC AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE AND TO MY SURPRISE NONE! I BELIEVE GMC NEEDS TO CORRECT THEIR MANUFACTURER DEFECT! *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I GLANCED TO CHECK MY SPEEDOMETER AND SAW IT REGISTERED ABOUT 100 MPH. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 40. THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO CLIMB AND WENT BELOW THE HIGHEST REGISTERED NUMBER, WHICH IS 120, AND THAT'S WHERE IT NOW SITS APPARENTLY FOR GOOD. NOW I CANNOT TELL MY SPEED. THE NEEDLE REMAINS BURIED BELOW 120 MPH AND DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2006 GMC ENVOY: FUEL TANK SENSOR SHOWS FUEL THEN DOESN'T, BOUNCES BACK & FORTH. I DRIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND AM NOW VERY PARANOID THAT MY CAR WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AND LEAVE ME STRANDED ON A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY....VERY DANGEROUS. MECHANIC SAYS ERROR CODE IS PO463. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ALONE NOW... SO I STOP GONG DOWN & THEN BACK UP THE HILL JUST IN CASE I CAN PUT IN MORE GASOLINE. MY CAR ALSO HAS A DRIVERS' SIDE MASTER CONTROL WINDOW THAT BURNED.... COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. WHEN MY MECHANIC TOOK IT APART, HE SHOWED ME THE BURNED AREAS,... SMELLS BAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GMC ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. INITALLY, WHEN I WOULD FILL UP THE TANK IT WOULD WORK FOR AT LEAST A 100 MILES; OVER TIME IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE GAUGE NEVER WORKS AND IS ALWAYS ON EMPTY. I HAVE TO MONITOR MY MILEAGE METER TO KNOW WHEN I NEED TO GET GAS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE, THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY BEGAN FLUCTUATING WILDLY. IT FIRST HAPPENED AFTER I FILLED UP WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS- THE GAUGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. EVER SINCE, THE GAUGE DOES NOT GIVE ACCURATE FUEL READINGS- IT WILL READ FULL WHEN EMPTY, EMPTY WHEN FULL, AND THE NEEDLE WILL SPIKE ALL OVER THE PLACE.. I CONSIDER IT TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN- RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK AND WOULD COST $700 TO REPLACE. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF THE GMC ENVOY DENALI, 2006 MODEL VEHICLE. THE GAS TANK SENSOR AFTER A FILLUP BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. SPECIFICALLY, THE TANK WAS FILLED, HOWEVER, THE GAS TANK FILL INDICATOR REMAINED ON EMPTY. THE FAILURE OF THE SENSOR HAS CAUSED THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TO COME ON AND REMAIN ON. *TR
