FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STOPPED FOR FUEL AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. FILLED TANK UNTIL THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. REPLACED FILLER CAP AND TIGHTENED TO SPEC. WHEN I TURNED ON THE KEY, THE GAUGES WENT THROUGH NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS. WHEN I STARTED THE ENVOY, THE FUEL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPY, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT TURNED ON, AND A WARNING CHIME RANG. WHILE DRIVING, THE GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE, BUT NEVER GAVE AN ACCURATE READING. EVENTUALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO LIT AFTER ABOUT TWENTY MILES. THE NEXT DAY, THE FUEL GAUGE APPEARED TO WORK NORMALLY. HOWEVER, SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH EACH SUBSEQUENT FILL-UP. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE 58,000 MILES ON MY 07 ENVOY DENALI. SAFETY IS A CONCERN NOW THAT I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I REALLY HAVE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGE SENSOR HAS STOPPED WORKING. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN EARLY AUGUST 2011, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN READING ERRATICALLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2011, THE PROBLEM CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, IT DID NOT POSE A DANGER, BUT IT COULD LEAD TO BEING REAR-ENDED--POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! SO FAR, WE HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THE TRIP ODOMETER FOR NOW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE EXPERIENCED A CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT DISPLAY ON WHAT IS NOW THE THIRD TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE FOR EACH OF THESE THREE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYS ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY WAS FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, GM REPLACED THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR UNIT UNDER WARRANTY. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE IN THE SUMMER OF 2009 WITH APPROXIMATELY 65000 MILES ON IT. I REPLACED THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR MYSELF TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AGAIN TODAY (9-2-11) I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON & A CODE CHECK REVEALED A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR. THE VEHICLE HAS 83000 MILES ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY AN ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING AFTER DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE PROGRESSED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND EVENTUALLY THE FUEL GAUGE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK SENOR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. ..UPDATED 10/19/11 *BF UPDATED 10/24/11

EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURE. MECHANIC SAYS IN 25 YEARS HE HAS NEVER SEEN AS MANY FAILURES AS IN THESE MODELS,AS IT IS USUALLY VERY RARE FOR THEM TO FAIL. IN RESEARCHING ON LINE I HAVE FOUND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN '03 THROUGH '08 MODEL GMC ENVOYS AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENSING SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE FIRST SYMPTOM WAS A FUEL GAUGE REGISTERING 0 AND A CHECK FUEL LEVEL MESSAGE AFTER I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE GAUGE WOULD SLOWLY CLIMB TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE HALF FULL, BUT OFTEN RETURN TO 0 WITH THE MESSAGE OCCURRING WHENEVER STOPPING THE CAR OR ON ENGINE STARTUP. NOW THE GAUGE SELDOM GOES ABOVE A QUARTER FULL, EVEN THOUGH I TYPICALLY KEEP THE TANK MORE THAN HALF FULL. I AM ABLE TO ESTIMATE FUEL CONSUMED USING THE TRIP ODOMETER, BUT THIS IS NOT SATISFACTORY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR AND THE DEALER IS UNWILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. *TR

OUR 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS ALWAYS HAD A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND HAS CAUSED OUR FAMILY TO BE STRANDED A FEW TIMES WITHOUT GAS WHILE TRAVELING FAR FROM HOME. WE TOOK IT INTO A GMC DEALER WHO WANTED $ 950 FOR PARTS AND REPAIRS. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. GMC HAS ALWAYS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT OFFERED TO FIX IT NOR HAVE A RECALL ON THIS FAULTY GAS GAUGE. 856,000 GM SUVS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FAULTY FUEL GAUGES FEDERAL REGULATORS ARE INVESTIGATING 865,000 GENERAL MOTORS SUVS, INCLUDING THE 2005- ?07 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND BUICK RAINIER,FOR FAULTY FUEL GAUGES THAT ARE INACCURATE. THE 2005-?06 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT, THE 2005-?07 GMC ENVOY, THE 2005-?06 GMC ENVOY AND THE 2005-?07 SAAB 9-7X ARE ALSO AFFECTED VEHICLES BEING INVESTIGATED.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES IN 2006. WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR THE CLUSTER PANEL (GAUGES) STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPAIR AS THE ENTIRE CLUSTER PANEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVE AND REPLACED. AFTER TALKING WITH CO-WORKERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM; I LATER DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT YOU HAD TO BE THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING THE CLUSTER PANEL REPAIRED, MY GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I AM TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED FOR REPAIR AND THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE EITHER. THE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO IS NON-OPERATIONAL. THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE SEVERAL MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT I AM MOST DISTURBED BY THE FACT THAT AFTER SPENDING THE MONEY TO HAVE THE CLUSTER PANEL FIXED MY GAS GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

MY 2007 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE STARTED READING INACCURATELY ONE DAY AS I WAS FILLING THE GAS TANK...IT WENT UP AS IT WAS FILLING TO ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK AND THEN WENT STRAIGHT DOWN TO E AND THE TANK WAS COMPLETELY FULL. IT "BOUNCED AROUND OVER THE NEXT 2-3 WEEKS AND FINALLY QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR IS ALWAYS ON AS IT REGISTERS E ALL THE TIME NOW. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES. I AM A NURSE WHO IS ON CALL AND CANNOT BE LEFT STRANDED. MY HUSBAND HAD A BRAIN INJURY AND I AM NOW THE SOLE PROVIDER IN THE HOME AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE PART AND LABOR....I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED...NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!!!!!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY WITH 46,952 MILES ON IT. ONE DAY IN APRIL 2011, WITH A 3/4 TANK OF GAS, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED UNEXPECTEDLY TO EMPTY. THE BELLS STARTED GOING OFF THE MESSAGES CAME ON THE DASH, THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS LITERALLY SCARED ME TO DEATH. I THOUGHT THE GAS TANK HAD RUPTURED AND THAT ALL MY GAS HAD LEAKED OUT. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I MADE IT TO WORK AND IMMEDIATELY LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS LEAKING. THERE WAS NOTHING. I WENT INTO WORK AND WORRIED ALL DAY ABOUT HOW I WAS GOING TO GET TO A GAS STATION. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO GO HOME, I STARTED THE ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGE READ BACK TO THE 3/4 FULL TANK. I STARTED ON MY WAY HOME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAUGE DROPPED AGAIN. EVER SINCE THAT DAY, EVERY TIME WE START THE ENVOY, THE GAUGE WILL NOT READ PAST "EMPTY" AND THE WARNING BELLS/MESSAGES COME ON ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES, SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I'M JUST DRIVING TO WORK. IT CAME TO THE POINT WHERE WE DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE MUCH ANYMORE. WITH WINTER COMING, I HAVE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AS I NEED A DEPENDABLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PROBLEM IS A FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. WHATEVER IT IS, WE FEEL THAT GM SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR US AND VERY SOON. WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND AS I AM VERY UNNERVED ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION. THANK YOU *TR
