STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN TURNING CORNERS ON SMOOTH ASPHALT THE STABILITRAC LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGAGES THE SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO MOMENTARILY SLOW DOWN AND MAKES A "GROWL" SOUND, THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE STEERING. IT MAY DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES PER TURN OR ONLY ONCE. IT HAS OCCURRED AT VARYING SPEEDS (TURNS AT 45MPH AND TURNS AT 10MPH). STARTED OUT ONLY OCCURRING DURING LEFT HAND TURNS, NOW HAPPENS ON ALMOST ALL TURNS. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS MUCH WORSE ON WINDY DAYS. THE STABILITRAC ALSO KICKS IN WHEN I TURN ONTO GRAVEL AND START TO SPEED UP (NOT MASHING THE GAS AND SPINNING TIRES, BUT SIMPLY SPEEDING UP AT A REGULAR PACE THAT SHOULD NOT POSE PROBLEMS). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FOR THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN ACTING VERY STRANGE. I HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS AND DRIVE VERY LITTLE DAILY (MAYBE 10 MILES) AND IN 3 DAYS IT WENT FROM 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT MY GAS WAS LEAKING OUT, BUT NO GAS SPOTS OR LEAKS. NOW, IT WAS ON EMPTY, LIGHT CAME ON, AND STARTED TO BING, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALSO. I FILLED THE CAR UP AND FUEL LIGHT IS STILL ON AND SO IS THE ENGINE LIGHT. INDICATING A PROBLEM AT THE FUEL GAGE. I LOVE THIS CAR, I HAVE NEVER LOVED A CAR MORE...BUT, NOW READING ALL THE HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS...AND THE COST TO HAVE IT FIXED IS WAYYYYYYYYY MORE THAN I CAN PAY OR AFFORD. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I AM GOING TO PAY THE FIRST HALF OF MY RE TAXES AND MY HOME OWNERS INSURANCE, I USED TO WORK FOR YEARS WITH AUTO DEALERS AND WITH THIS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THE MANUFACTURE NORMALLY DOES A RECALL AND FIXES THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS, IF I KEEP DRIVING IT WITHOUT GETTING IT FIXED WILL I CREATE MORE PROBLEMS AND THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I AM ON EMPTY SINCE IT IS NOW ALWAYS ON EMPTY?????? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
LAST YEAR MY 2006 GMC ENVOY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO QUICKLY MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC TO AVOID A CAR ACCIDENT. GMC ALSO TOOK MY MONEY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. RECENTLY,04/17/12, I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AFTER FILLING. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, IT GOES TO EMPTY AND THEN AFTER DRIVING A BIT THE GAUGE STARTS RE-REGISTERING, 52,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE NOW. NOW I BELIEVE THESE TWO INCIDENTS ARE RELATED AND GMC IS NOT BEING COOPERATIVE: TO FIX AT NO COST A REPAIR THAT INVOLVES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THEIR VEHICLES. WHAT IF I DID GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY LAST YEAR? GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP TO RECALL A KNOW DEFECT TO THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILURES. *TR

MISFIRE WAS DETECTED DEALER CODE #P038. DEALER CLAIM WAS A SPARK PLUG PROBLEM. SPARK PLUGS AND CABLES WERE REPLACE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER TECHNICIAN CLAIMED THERE IS A PROLBLEM WITH THE TANK THAT IS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THEY STATED THE PROBLEM IS ON MOST OF THIS NEW TANKS. JUST WONDER IF THIS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM SINCE IT CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION AT ANY TIME ON THE ROAD. *JS

THE ENTIRE COMPONENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FAILS TO WORK. THE WINDOWS OPERATE FROM THE BACK SEAT AND PASSENGER SEAT CONTROLS. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT WORK, THE DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT LOCK (AUTOMACTICALLY) I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS WARNED ME NOT TO REPLACE THE FUSE AS IT COULD START A FIRE. I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT AND THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT IN THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

GAS GAUGE FAILED TO READ THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK. THANKFULLY, WE NOTICED BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLOAT BETWEEN 1/4 AND 3/4 TANK SO YOU COULDN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NEARLY 2 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE IN MY VEHICLE GOING HAYWIRE. I WILL FILL THE TANK, AND WITHIN A MILE OR 2, THE GAUGE WILL DROP TO E, AND THE LIGHT WILL COME ON, BELL WILL SOUND, ETC. IT MAY OR MAY NOT ADJUST WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY, THE GAUGE IS SHOWING 1/2 FULL, THEN EMPTY, THEN 1/4 FULL. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK. I AM DEATHLY AFRAID THAT I WILL RUN OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM A LITTLE ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND MANY, MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT SINCE I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AND THE LETTER STATED NOT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER UNLESS YOU CURRENTLY HAD THE PROBLEM. AS OF A WEEK AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I FUELED UP UNTIL THE TANK WAS FULL AND THE GAUGE READS AS IF THE TANK IS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IN ADDITION THE SPEEDOMETER HAS IS HAVING ISSUES NOW AS WELL. IT STICKS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THEN JUST GOES TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY GPS I WOULD HAVE NO CLUE WHAT RATE OF SPEED I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR FOR THE FUEL GAUGE WILL COST ME $240 WITH GMC PAYING THE OTHER HALF. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE I DID SO WHY AM I NOW STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BILLS? WHY WAS THIS NOT FIXED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP? SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.I SHOULD NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR GMC'S ERRORS! IN ADDITION THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE OTHER GMC MODELS FOR THE CLUSTER GAUGE THAT AFFECTS THE SPEEDOMETER. THE ENVOY WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. ONCE AGAIN WHY SHOULD I BE STUCK HOLDING THE BAG ON FAULTY EQUIPMENT? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS RESOLVED? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN FEBRUARY OF 2012 I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VERY LARGE ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2009 AND THIS HAS JUST BECOME AND ISSUE. LOOKED UP VEHICLE RECALLS AND CAME ACROSS THIS. SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, A FUEL FILTER FITTING CAN BECOME DISCONNECTED. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, A NO-START CONDITION WOULD RESULT AND FUEL WOULD BE PUMPED OUT THE FUEL FILTER ONTO THE GROUND. CONSEQUENCE: IF THE FITTING BECOMES DISCONNECTED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE ENGINE WOULD STOP DUE TO INADEQUATE FUEL SUPPLY AND CAUSE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. IF AN IGNITION SOURCE WERE PRESENT, FUEL LEAKAGE FROM A DISCONNECTED FUEL FILTER FITTING COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. ACTIONS: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER QUICK CONNECT RETAINERS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 20, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020. GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537. FOR DETAILED INFORMATION & SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, SEE THE OFFICIAL NHTSA PAGE CONCERNING RECALL #02V121000 GM SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ELIGABLE FOR REPAIR.

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. I WILL FILL UP THE TANK AND TURN ON THE CAR AND IT READS LOW FUEL AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. THEN I CAN BE DRIVING AND IT WILL JUMP UP TO PAST 1/4 TANK THEN SLOWLY GO DOWN TO E AND READ LOW FUEL.

VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING I TURNED ON MY LEFT BLINKER TO TURN. THE WIPER CAME ON AND IT SPRAYED WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID. I PUT IT BACK INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND THEY KEPT SPRAYING AND WOULD NOT STOP. I PULLED OVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. THE WIPERS CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY AND CONTINUED TO SPRAY WIND WASHER FLUID. THEN MY SPEAKERS STARTED TO PLAY A DISTORTED SOUND. I TURNED OFF VEHICLE AGAIN ABOUT 4 MORE TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE WIPER BLADES AND SPRAY CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO STAY PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THEN THEY STOPPED. OR SO I THOUGHT, AS I STARTED TO DRIVE AND HIT 20MPH THE WIPER BLADES CAME ON AND IT STARTED SPRAYING AGAIN TILL IT FINISHED THE ENTIRE GALLON OF WIND WASHER FLUID. AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE WAY THE WIPER BLADES KEPT ON CLEANING WITH NO LIQUID. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND THE WIPER BLADES CONTINUED FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS THEN STOPPED. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND I AM WONDERING WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP FROM HERE? *JS
