FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO, AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK IN MY 2007 GMC ENVOY, THE GAS METER WOULD SHIFT FROM F TO E AS I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I WOULD PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. AT THAT TIME, THE METER WOULD RAISE BACK UP TO THE F BUT AS I AM DRIVING AGAIN, IT WOULD DROP BACK DOWN AND THE EMPTY INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A MONTH NOW AND I WAS EVEN STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONCE, NJDOT CAME TO GIVE ME GAS, THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A GAS STATION, WHERE IT THEN STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES (DRAGS) WHEN I'M TRYING TO GIVE IT GAS, AS IF IT'S GOING TO CUT OFF. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CLOGGED FUEL LINE AND WILL HAVE IT CHECKED BUT THIS CAN COST ME $600-800 THAT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. I HAVE READ MANY STORIES FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE. *TR

2003 GMC ENVOY FILLER NECK LEAKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS A RECALL. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IT HAD THIS ISSUE BUT THE RECALL IS FOR THE XL MODEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HOW CAN THEY MESS AROUND WITH LEAKING GAS? IT IS A 1200+ REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I'M A RESERVIST IN THE MILITARY AND IT REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE A DISTANCE TO MY BASE ONCE A MONTH. WHILE DRIVING TO MY DUTY LOCATION, I REALIZED THAT MY 2006 ENVOY RWD WAS DRIVING FUNNY LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL. AT THE TIME, MY FUEL GAUGE READ 1/2 TANK. THANKFULLY I WAS APPROACHING AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF AND GO TO A GAS STATION. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS ESPECIALLY SINCE I THOUGHT I HAD GAS. THE GAS STATION ALSO HAD AN AUTO SHOP. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T EVEN FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. HE ASKED ME IF I WAS SURE THERE WAS GAS IN IT. I TOLD HIM YES BC IT READ HALF A TANK. WE PUT ABOUT 5 GALLONS IN THE TANK AND THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP. WHEN I CHECKED THE FUEL GAUGE AGAIN, IT READ IT WAS EMPTY. SO I FILLED UP THE TANK, GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND STARTED THE ENGINE BUT THE FUEL GAUGE STILL READ EMPTY EVEN AFTER I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS. I WAS SO FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAD TO BE AT DRILL AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. I JUST PRAYED THAT I MADE IT THERE SAFELY. I DID..AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF DRILL WAS OVER, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ FULL BUT AFTER DRIVING 3 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THE GAUGE WENT BACK TO EMPTY. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CHECKED THE CODE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ENVOYS. AND SINCE I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, IT WOULD COST ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR. I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER IT EVEN AFTER I WENT OVER MY ENTIRE ORDEAL WITH THEM. I HAVE NOT PAID TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I THINK GM SHOULD HAVE PRIDE IN THEIR PRODUCTS AND REPLACE THIS ISSUE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES BUT MY FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY EVEN AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS. I HAVE TO FILL UP EVERY OTHER DAY FOR FEAR THAT I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN AND END UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STRANDED. ON DRILL WEEKENDS, I HAVE TO RENT A CAR BC I CAN'T RELY ON ENVOY. *TR

STRUCTURE
MAY 18, 2010 6PM DRIVING HOME FROM CHENA HOT SPRINGS ROAD AT THE SPEED LIMIT 55 MILES PER HOUR THE REAR HATCH PLASTIC WAS RATTLING AS USUAL AT THAT SPEED. AT ABOUT 1 BLOCK FROM COLLEGE ROAD TURNOFF WHILE STILL DRIVING ON JOHANSON HWY THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PLASTIC COVER BROKE AND WAS HANGING DOWN OVER BACK WINDOW. I REDUCED MY SPEED AND STOPPED AND TRIED TO PLACE RIGHT SIDE BACK UP AND SEEN IT WAS STILL ATTACHED ON LEFT SIDE. I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME VERY SLOW. WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT HOME I HAD HIM REMOVE FROM LEFT SIDE. THIS PIECE IS 3 FOOT 10 INCHES BY 10INCHES. IT ALSO HOLDS MY (CHMSL) LAMP. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS FALLING OFF. 2006 LOCAL GMC REPLACED BECAUSE THEY SOLD IT TO ME. 2008 IT FLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING 55 MILES A HOUR AND LUCKLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND GMC NEEDS TO FIX THIS PERMANENTLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THEY STATE CONDITION CAUSE IS A POOR BONDING OF THE DOUBLE-SIDED ADHESIVE TAPE BETWEEN THE CHMSL APPLIQUE AND THE LIFTEGATE GLASS. QUOTE FROM GMC 2008 #01-08-66-007C: CENTER HIGH-MOUNT STOP LAMP(CHMSL)A[[LIQUE LOOSE (RE-TAPE APPLIDQUE)- AUG 27, 2007. I SPOKE WITH JEREMIAH FROM GMC HE STATES THEY (GMC) WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AND SEE NO PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD NOT USE HATCH IN THE WINTER TIME. AND BY THE WAY I HAVE NOT USED MY HATCH IN THE WINTER MONTHS SINCE AFTER THE 2008 REPAIR THAT THE GMC LOCAL DEALER FIXED AS A COURTESY I CHOOSE NOT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES. I ALSO AVOID DRIVING OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR. MILIAGE ON MY ENVOY TODAY IS ONLY 31,192 I AVOID LONG TRIPS TOO. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A NEW CAR I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE DRIVING 55 MILES AN HOUR. I THINK IT IS A DEFECT DESIGN THE PLASTIC SITS UP AND THE FORCE OF THE WIND HITTING AT OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR IT RIPS IT OFF!! THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL READS EMPTY WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK. THEN WHEN I DRIVE FOR LITTLE WHILE THE LEVEL READS HALF FULL THEN GOES BACK TO EMPTY. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE IS SOMETIMES MOVING BACK FAST TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, AT AROUND 42,000 MILES, AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING FROM FULL TO EMPTY. FOR A FEW MONTHS THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ABOVE FULL, BUT LATELY THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME AND AT ANY FUEL TANK LEVEL NOT JUST WHEN IT IS FULL. THIS MAKES IT REAL HARD TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND MY BLOWER FAN STOPPED WORKING. AT FIRST I COULDN'T SEE VERY GOOD OUT MY WINDOW AND MY HEADLAMPS STARTED DIMMING. THERE IS AN OVERLOAD SOMEONE NEAR THE BLOWER AND MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE YOU NEED HEAT AND LIGHT TO SEE WHEN YOU DRIVE AND WITHOUT IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I WAS DOWN IN A DITCH WHEN MINE WENT OUT AND THANK GOD SOMEONE WAS WATCHING OVER ME. THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR A NICE VEHICLE THEIR SHOULD BE NO DEFECTS WITH UNDER A 100,000 MILES. I HAVE STILL FROM THIS DAY HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE MY TRUCK PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE BREAK MY BUDGET. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY WITH APPROX 95,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I WENT TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED THERE WAS A "BANG" SO I PULLED OVER TO LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK, AND MADE SURE NOTHING HAD FALLEN OFF. I GOT BACK IN THE S.U.V. AND MADE MY WAY BACK HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THERE WAS NO REVERSE. I CALLED A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO THE SUNSHELL GEAR. ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE POST ONLINE, SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE AMONG ENVOY'S AND TRAILBLAZER. I CHECKED THE FLUID AND IT APPEARS TO BE FINE, NOT LOW, NOT BURNT, AND STILL RED AND CLEAN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING WHEN THREE LIGHTS SHOWED UP ON INSTRUMENT PANEL STABILITRAK, CHECK ENGINE AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON THE ENVOY COMPLETELY TURNED IT SELF OFF. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN STARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS THE ONLY LIGHT ON. I GOT HOME AND RESTARTED CAR ALL LIGHTS DISAPPEARED. NEXT DAY DRIVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN. THREE MORE TIMES ON THE WAY TO MECHANIC THE ENVOY TURNED ITSELF OFF. FIND OUT THE PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL MODULE PCM WAS DEFECTIVE. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE 07/08. I THEN FIND OUT THE PART IS READILY AVAILABLE AND NOT A SPECIAL ORDER. THEY REFURBISH THIS PART WITH A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT GMC WOULD ENGINEER A CAR TO ENTIRELY SHUT DOWN WHEN DRIVING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH, ALSO THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AS IT IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. THE CODES THAT SHOWED UP WERE APPARENTLY NOT COVERED BY GMC. WITH THIS PART BEING READILY AVAILABLE I MUST NOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN. THIS WAS A COSTLY REPAIR, AND I FEEL THAT SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPEN TO OTHERS, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY WITH 63,000MI. ON IT STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL BURY THE NEEDLE PAST 120MPH OR STAY ON ZERO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. HAVING BEEN A TRUCK DRIVER FOR OVER 20 YRS. AND UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE AND SAFETY OF SPEED CONTROL, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL. *TR
