FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM STARTED AT 110,000 MILES ON 2006 GMC ENVOY SLE AWD AND WAS NOTED ON A DEALERSHIP VISIT. UNFORTUNATELY NOW HAS 150,000 MILES WHEN THE . VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF FUEL ON FREEWAY WITH WIFE AND CHILDREN, AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. IT HAS REQUIRED NUMEROUS AAA CALLS FOR FUEL OVER THE PAST YEARS AND HAS CREATED A MANY HOURS OF INCONVENIENCE AND LOST OF WORK. ME AND MY WIFE HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE ROADSIDE OVER 15 TIMES DUE TO FAULTY FUEL READINGS. PROBLEM HAS BEEN TOO COSTLY TO REPAIR SO WE HAVE TO NOW RELY ON RESETTING THE TRIP ODOMETER. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE MORE THAN A SAFETY BULLETIN FOR ONLY VEHICLES UP TO 120,000 MILES. THIS IS A FARCE TO THE GMC AND CHEVY OWNER COMMUNITY. IS THE NHTSA WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE MAKING THIS A TOTAL RECALL TO PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR ALL OWNERS OF THESE PRODUCTS? THIS IS A FAILED DESIGN THAT MUST BE CORRECTED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY SAKE. PLEASE WORK WITH THE MANUFACTURERS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FAIRLY, EQUITABLE, AND HONESTLY. THANK YOU. AND MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THOSE WITH THE POWER TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE CONSUMERS OF THESE PRODUCTS. THANK YOU AGAIN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, SEVERAL INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. (ABS, SEATBELT, BATTERY PRIMARILY) THESE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GO OFF, ONE BY ONE. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THE BATTERY LIFE METER DROPPED TO ZERO. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RE-START. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, THE BATTERY ITSELF TESTED THAT IT WAS GOOD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, ANYWAY, HOPING IT SOLVED THE ISSUES, BUT THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUE TO TURN ON WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A DAY OR SO, THEY TURN OFF AND THEN DAYS LATER WILL COME ON AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES BY TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND NEITHER COULD FIND A SOLUTION OUTSIDE OF REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND OTHER GMC MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THE ENVOY BEEN INCLUDED? IT'S OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AS WELL. (ALTHOUGH, OTHER THAN THE AIRBAG RECALL, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICES ABOUT ANY OTHER RECALLS REGARDING MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ISSUES). *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 03 ENVOY SXL THAT SMELLED LIKE GAS, THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE HOSE. I HAD THAT REPLACED AND NOW IT LEAKS GAS GOING DOWNHILL. AS I SAW OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND MOST IF NOT ALL THAT HAS SUV'S HAVE CHILDREN. IF THE SAME MODEL PART WAS RECALLED ON THE TRAILBLAZER WHY NOT ENVOY'S? GMC SHOULD RECALL ALL CARS THAT HAS THE MODEL NUMBER TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE THEY GO UP IN FLAMES WITH OUR CHILDREN. *TR

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
LAST EVENING OUR FAMILY LOADED INTO THE ENVOY AND MY SON OPENED THE HATCH HALFWAY AND REALIZED HE FORGOT SOMETHING AND RAN TO GET IT. THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING YET. WE HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" AND GLASS SHATTERING AND HOPPED OUT. THERE WAS GLASS ALL OVER OUR DRIVEWAY AND EVEN PIECES UP TO SEVERAL YARDS AWAY. THE GLASS ON THE HATCH HAD EXPLODED. IT WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND WE WERE SO RELIEVED THAT MY SON HAD NOT BEEN STANDING RIGHT THERE AND THAT THE HATCH WAS PARTIALLY OPEN SO THE GLASS DIDN'T BLOW TOWARD MY REAR FACING INFANT, TODDLER AND 8 YEAR OLD SON ALREADY LOADED IN THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT MY CHILDREN DID LATER CUT THEMSELVES ON SHARDS OF GLASS THAT MADE IT OVER TO THE YARD. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS INCREDIBLY UPSETTING. EVEN OUR NEIGHBOR CAME TO HELP. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. OUR INSURANCE COVERS THE COST AFTER OUR $500 DEDUCTIBLE, HOWEVER, WE ARE AFRAID THE WINDOW WILL BLAST OUT AGAIN AND AFRAID ESPECIALLY FOR OUR REAR FACING INFANT AND SONS RIDING IN THE VERY BACK. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS GAUGE ON THIS VEHICLE IS OFF. ON TWO SEPARATE INCIDENCES WHEN THE GAS GAUGE IS JUST ABOVE THE RED EMPTY INDICATOR, THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THIS IS DEMONSTRATED BY DIFFICULTY EXCEL-ORATING AFTER STOPPING, OR GOING UP HILL. THEN 15-20 MILES LATER THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE IS STRUGGLING TO GO BECAUSE IT IS LITERALLY RUNNING ON EMPTY. *TR
