STRUCTURE
ON MAY 10, 2011 THE REAR SPOILER (WITH THIRD BRAKE LIGHT) FLEW OFF THE BACK OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI XL SHORTLY AFTER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS CRUSHED BY A PASSING TRACTOR TRAILER INSTEAD OF HITTING SOMEONE'S WINDSHIELD. GMC SAID THAT SINCE MY SUV WAS 6 YEARS OLD AND OVER 100K MILES I "SHOULD EXPECT " THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS. ON JULY 24, 2011 SHORTLY AFTER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE ENTIRE LIFTGATE WINDOW PULLED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. I AM ABOUT TO OPEN ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH GMC, BUT EXPECT LITTLE HELP FROM THEM. APPARENTLY THE WINDOW AND SPOILER ARE BOTH ATTACHED WITH DOUBLE SIDED TAPE ON THIS MODEL YEAR.A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW. IT IN MY OPINION IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING BEHIND ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE WINDOWS AND SPOILERS "BOLTED" INTO PLACE. *TR

HELLO, I WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. I'VE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY FUEL GAUGE, WHEN I FILL UP MY GAUGE SAYS I'M EMPTY AND THEN SLOWLY CREEPS BACK UP TO FULL, HOWEVER, IT THEN FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY AND NEVER GIVES AN ACCURATE READING. I FEEL THIS CAN CAUSE A HUGE ISSUE FOR PEOPLE IF THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR GAUGE ISN'T ACCURATE. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY ALWAYS REGISTERS AT "E." I HAVE TALKED TO GMC AND THERE IS NO HELP WITH THIS SITUATION THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME THING. WHEN I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY WERE RUDE TO ME AND DIDN'T GIVE ME A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT NUMBER. I AM HAVING TO GAGE MY GAS BY KEEPING TRACK OF THE MILEAGE THROUGH THE TRIP-OMETER. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I FILLED UP MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL SLT WHEN IT HAD 71,000 MILES. I HAD NO PREVIOUS FUEL GAUGE ISSUES. STARTED THE VEHICLE AND FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAD FILLED IT COMPLETELY. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR SO HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR THE PAST MONTH AND THIS HAS BEEN A DAILY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL AND WILL STICK ON EMPTY AND THE BELL CHIMES CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN I JUST FILLED IT UP. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THERE EXCEPT TO MONITOR MILES DRIVEN AND FILL IT BACK UP MORE FREQUENTLY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF MY CALCULATIONS ARE INCORRECT AND MY VEHICLE STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND AM AFRAID OF A STALL HAPPENING RESULTING IN A CRASH. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THERE. AGAIN...THE GAUGE WILL GO BACK AND FORTH AS I AM DRIVING. I CAN START A DRIVE KNOWING IT IS FULL BUT THE GAUGE WILL SAY 1/4 TANK AND IT WILL JUMP ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO FULL AND THEN DOWN TO EMPTY WHICH CAUSES THE LOW FUEL SIGNAL AND BEEP TO GO OFF. THIS HAPPENS DAILY. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND AM SEEING ALOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM GMC ENVOY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND GM DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GENERAL MOTORS. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE TO GET GM'S ATTENTION ON THIS ISSUE! *TR

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

FILLED FUEL TANK UNTIL PUMP CLICKED OFF. AS SOON AS I STARTED VEHICLE, FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO BELOW E AND LIGHT, BUZZER SOUNDED ALERTING ME LOW FUEL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PREPARING TO LEAVE ON VACATION SO I DROVE TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL GM SUVS. HE THOUGHT AS LONG AS I SET MY TRIP (SO AS NOT TO RUN OUT OF GAS), I WOULD BE FINE ON TRIP. ONE YEAR LATER, I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED(HOPED I COULD WAIT GM OUT), THE PROBLEM IS A BIT WORSE IN THAT THE GAUGE JUMPS AROUND AND FUEL EMPTY BUZZER GOES ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME .. VERY ANNOYING. GM SAYS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SO NO RECALL ???? WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. CHECK OUT THE INTERNET ,, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE THOUSANDS IF EVERYONE WOULD REPORT THE PROBLEMS. WHY NOT TRACK HOW MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN SOLD RATHER THAN COMPLAINTS. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING. I GUESS WHY RECALL AS LONG AS THEY CAN MAKE MONEY.

PROBLEM WITH SEVERE FLUCTUATIONS OF FUEL GAUGE. RESEARCH SHOWS YOUR ONGOING INVESTIGATION # IS DP10001. UPON FILLING TANK TO APROX. TANK THE GAUGE SUDDENLY STARTED GOING WILD AND WITHIN 1 MILE OF DRIVING THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" APPEARED. AFTER INVESTIGATING NUMEROUS ON-LINE RESOURCES IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY LIMITED TO THIS VEHICLE BUT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE GM LINEUP. DEALERSHIP REPAIR COSTS ARE ESTIMATED IN THE $800.00 TO $1000.00 RANGE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A PROBLEM THAT GM KNOWS TO EXIST YET REFUSES TO TAKE ANY UNILATERAL ACTION ON. *KB

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT ACCURATELY RECORD THE SPEED WHILE TRAVELING FOR MY 2005, GMC, ENVOY, SLT MODEL. IT WILL INDICATE THAT I AM TRAVELING 20 MPH OR EVEN 0 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND SEEMS TO INCREASE MY RPMS WHILE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL TICKETS AS I CAN NOT PERSONALLY TRACK HOW FAST/SLOW I AM GOING WHILE DRIVING. THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENS EVERYDAY. MY OIL GAUGE IS ALSO UNABLE TO READ, IT NEVER MOVES AND READS UNDER THE START OF THE METER (SOUTH) AT ALL TIMES, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT STARTED. *KB
