FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE TANK WITH GASOLINE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE GAS GAGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY AND THE ALARM SOUNDED. THE GAGE RECOVERED AFTER THE LEVEL DROPPED TO ABOUT 1/3 AND OPERATED CORRECTLY FOR THE REST OF THE TANK. THEN THE GAGE BECAME MORE ERRATIC AND HAS NO INDICATION OF THE AMOUNT IN THE TANK. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2006 ENVOY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AS THEY MUST REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT IN THE TANK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PROBLEM WITH MY GAS GAUGE IN JUST TURNED 40,000 MI. ADD FUEL LIGHT COMES ON EVEN AFTER FILL UP. ALSO GAUGE GOES BACK AND FORTH DURING OPERATION OF THE CAR. WHEN THE GAUGE HITS EMPTY A BELL GOES OFF AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT GOES ON. EVENTUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO GO ON INDICATING THERE IS AN ISSUE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BREAKING DOWN AND CONSIDER IT A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE. LOCAL GMC DEALER HAS NO CLUE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH GAS GAUGES. TRIED TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM BUT JUST GOT WORSE DECIDED TO GET IT FIXED $900. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE FAILED TO WORK CORRECTLY. IT WOULD READ EMPTY AFTER JUST FILLING UP, SOMETIMES IT WOULD APPEAR TO WORK AND SHOW THERE WAS MORE OR LESS GAS THAN THERE ACTUALLY WAS. RAN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES, DUE TO FAILURE OF THE GAS GAUGE. FINALLY HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED (SOME SORT OF SENSOR), COST A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS WAS ACTUALLY IN THE VEHICLE CAUSING HER TO RUN OUT OF GAS INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,100 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. AFTER DRIVING 30-50 MILES, FUEL GAGE APPEARS NORMAL. THIS STARTED ABOUT 30 DAYS AGO. MORE RECENTLY, HOWEVER, FUEL GAUGE IS INCONSISTENT EVEN AFTER THE 30+ MILES. SOME TIMES IT SHOWS FULL, ONE HALF. I MUST REFUEL VEHICLE MORE OFTEN TO BE SURE THERE IS FUEL IN THE TANK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THE NHTSA HAD OPENED AN INVESTIGATION CONCERNING 2006 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE PROBLEMS. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHERS WITH THE GAUGE FLUCTUATING. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE STRANDED. I HAVE 53000 MILES ON MY ENVOY AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT
FAULTY FUEL GAUGE SENSOR, AS WELL AS A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS NO FUEL WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. STARTED WITH FILLING UP MY SUV AND AFTER I GOT GAS, THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY WITH THE BELL CHIMING LOW FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED. IT GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEFINITELY DANGEROUS AS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS, ESPECIALLY WITH TRAVELING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 ENVOY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME THE ROAD SERVICE INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE READ I HAD MORE THAN A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT. EVEN AFTER THEY PUT FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T START WITHOUT A BOOST. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. DUE TO MY FINANCIAL SITUATION I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

THE FUEL GAGE BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN ONCE FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT WERE REPLACED. THE TOTAL REPAIR WAS EXPENSIVE (PARTS AND LABOR). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY WHICH HAS A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS THE TANK AS BEING "EMPTY" WITH THE ORANGE LIGHT ON INDICATING AN EMPTY TANK. AS SOME FUEL BURNS OFF THE TOP (AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MILES), THE GAS GAUGE THEN MOVES TO THE "FULL' END OF THE GAUGE. WHILE DRIVING, THE GAS GAUGE CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS THAT IT HAS MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THAN IT ACTUALLY DOES. BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS INACCURATE AND WOULD RESULT IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS, I STARTED RESETTING MY ODOMETER AND TRACKING MILEAGE AFTER EACH FILL UP. BASED ON THE MILEAGE TRACKED THUS FAR, I ESTIMATE THE GAS GAUGE TO SHOW THAT IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 ' 1/3 MORE GAS THAN WHAT IS IN THE TANK. *TR
