FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE STARTED NOT WORKING PROPERLY. INITIALLY IT WOULD SHOW HALF FULL WHEN FILLING UP, THEN THE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY CAUSING ME TO BE STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE. THE COST INVOLVED TO FIX IT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOO HIGH SO I HAVE CHOSEN TO CALCULATE MY MILEAGE WHEN I FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
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

FAULTY GAS GAUGE ON A 1997 GMC ENVOY WHICH FIRST LEAD TO INACCURATE AND RANDOM FUEL LEVEL READINGS. NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, PROMPTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON CONSTANTLY WHICH MEANS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS IGNORED SINCE IT IS CONSTANTLY ON - THIS MAY MASK OTHER CHECK ENGINE SITUATIONS FROM BEING NOTICED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE READS INCORRECTLY AND SHOWS INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL INTERMITTENTLY. VERY DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE WHEN YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW MUCH FUEL YOU ACTUALLY HAVE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME, AND THE DEALER HAS INDICATED IT CAN'T MAKE A REPAIR BECAUSE GENERAL MOTORS DOESN'T CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN OCTOBER, 2010 AND CONTINUES BECAUSE OF THE COST TO MAKE REPAIRS. THE DEALER INDICATES A PARTS COST OF $500 PLUS LABOR. *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

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2004 TRAILBLAZER THAT THE DASH COMPONENTS (SPEED, GAS, ECT....) HASN'T WORKED SINCE 2008. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. I ALSO HAVE LATCH PROBLEMS. I HAD A REAR DOOR STOP LATCHING...I USED A BUNJY CORD TO HOLD IT SHUT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO A JUNK YARD FOR A 35 DOLLAR NEW LATCH. I AM A SINGLE MOM TRYING TO MAKE MY TRUCK LAST. IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE HAD A FUEL PUMP GO, MY LATCH, MY TAILGATE WON'T OPEN AND MY SUNROOF DOESN'T OPEN ANY MORE AND MY TRUCK IS RUSTING HORRIBLY? I ALSO HAD A COOLING ISSUE WITH EMISSIONS. IT WASN'T READING THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE CORRECTLY. I HAVE SPENT NEAR TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR ODD THINGS. P.S. I PUT THE DOOR LATCH IN MY SELF TO SAVE MONEY. I HAVE TWO KIDS TO PROTECT. *TR

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

FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2005 ENVOY QUIT WORKING AFTER A FULL TANK OF GAS WAS PUT IN. THE GAGE GOES UP AND DOWN AT ITS OWN WILL. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENSORY PROBLEM AND WOULD COST AROUND $600 TO FIX. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC VEHICLES. ON ONE SITE ALONE I FOUND 500+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I THINK ITS TIME FOR A RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ERRATIC AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. KNEW IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. LIVED ON RESETTING TRIP ODOMETER EVERY 200 MILES AND WOULD FILL UP. THIS INCONVENIENCE LASTED TWO YEARS UNTIL CONSTANT AUDIO AND VISUAL LOW FUEL SIGNALS. ENDED UP PAYING $450 FOR REPAIR. COMPLETELY CONFIDENT THAT GM KNEW THE ORIGINAL WAS FAULTY. *TR
