FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY MY GAS TANK WAS READING BETWEEN 1/4 AND A 1/2 TANK OF GAS, SO I STOPPED TO FILL UP. ONCE I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON ALONG WITH THE FUEL GAUGE BEING ON EMPTY. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF I DID AND THE LIGHTS BOTH STAYED ON. I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS TANK STARTED TO RISE UP TO 1/2 A TANK TO FULL. THEN ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY IT WENT BACK DOWN TO EMPTY AND THEN STARTED GOING BACK UP AND DOWN FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE BEFORE, SO WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS VERY SURPRISED. *TR

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND STAYS THERE FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT FINALLY SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF BUT I AM UNSURE IF IT IS CORRECT AT ALL TIMES AND AFRAID IT WILL SHOW THERE IS GAS AND RUN OUT. I HAVE SEEN WHERE SEVERAL OF ENVOY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL GM SHOULD MAKE CORRECT THESE SENSORS.

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEED READINGS. I TRY TO SEE HOW FAST IT IS GOING AT A DEAD STOP AND THEN ADD THAT NUMBER TO FIGURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. BUT NOW WHEN I DRIVE FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE PEGGED AT OVER 120 MPH. SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS WERE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND TIME AND MONEY TO TRY A SOLUTION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER. IF I GET THE SAME CLUSTER TYPE BACK I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. WHAT ADVICE DID YOU GIVE THE OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS? *KB

2006 ENVOY DENALI. CONSUMER WRITES STATES GAS NEEDLE STOPPED FUNCTIONING *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS NEEDLE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE IN THE BEGINNING AND SINCE THAT TIME, THE NEEDLE HAS BEEN STUCK ON EMPTY, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS A RESULT. IN MARCH OF 2009, WHEN THE CONSUMER STARED THE VEHICLE, IT SOUNDED AS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING METAL TUMBLING AROUND UNDER THE HOOD. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON JUNE 10, 2010, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. AN INSPECTION REVEALED A STARTER WAS NEEDED. ALSO, AN ALIGNMENT WAS DONE AND THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS REPLACED. ON JUNE 12, 2010, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. AFTER 25 MINUTES AND OVER 50 ATTEMPTS, IT FINALLY CAME OUT OF PARK. THE CONSUMER DROVE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. SEPTEMBER 2010, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WAS SITTING VERY LOW. THE REAR END AIR SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR CONDITION RANDOMLY WORKED. THERE WERE TIMES WHERE THE AIR WOULD JUST START BLOWING AND NO BUTTONS WERE PUSHED. ALSO, THE DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING. THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE NOT COMING OUT OF PARK. *JB

REAR AIR SHOCKS THAT BLED DOWN AFTER SITTING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. TOOK TO DEALER FOR EVALUATION AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR SHOCKS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT NORMALLY THE AIR COMPRESSOR IS REPLACED ALSO BECAUSE IT IS THE CAUSE OF THE LEAKING. I DECIDED COST WAS TOO GREAT SO I CHOSE TO ADD SPRINGS IN PLACE OF REAR AIR SHOCKS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR WOULD CONTINUE TO FUNCTION. NOW THE AIR COMPRESSOR DOES NOT WORK, TOOK BACK TO DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND WAS INFORMED THAT ONCE THE REAR AIR SHOCKS ARE REMOVED THE AIR COMPRESSOR IS DISABLED. *KB

IN 2008 THE GAS GAUGE TO MY 2005 GMC ENVOY STOPPED WORKING. I WOULD FILL UP THE TANK AND THE READER WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT ALWAYS SHOWED EMPTY. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $900 TO FIX. I RAN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FREEWAY AND STREETS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. ARE THESE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE? SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE AS WELL. FOR YEARS I ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE GAS IN THE TANK BECAUSE I REALLY NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS A HAVE. I CAN BUT $30 OR $40 IN GAS IN MY TANK AND MY GAUGE WILL READ WHATEVER IT WANTS. IT HAS SHOWN THAT I HAVE GAS AND I HAVE RAN OUT TWICE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS SCARY WITH TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I'VE SEEN THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN OTHER ENVOYS PARTICULARLY 2005 AND UP, BUT ALSO SEE THERE ARE INTERNET POSTS ON COMPLAINTS REGARDING 2003 MODELS AS WELL. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMAC ENVOY - 49,000 MILES - ONE MONTH AGO THE GAS GAUGE STARTED MOVING ON IT'S OWN, I WOULD FILL UP AND WILL SHOW FULL AS I AM DRIVING IT WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY AND THEN SLOWLY MOVE TO FULL AND THEN BACK TO 1/2 TANK AND THE EMPTY WHICH MAKES THE LIGHT AND BELL COME ON. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT WILL THEN GO BACK TO FULL OR STAY ON EMPTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD I NEVER KNOW IF I AM RUNNING LOW ON GAS AND WILL BE STANDARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR IS IT ABOUT TO STALL OUT WHICH COULD CAUSE A WRECK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP TO FULL AROUND 2 MONTHS AGO. AFTER I WAS DONE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED THE GAUGE DIPPED TO EMPTY AND SHOWED THAT I WAS LOW ON FUEL. I WENT IN AND HAD THE ATTENDANT VERIFY THAT INDEED I DID HAVE GAS DISPENSED INTO MY TANK. THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AND EVER SINCE HAS SHOWN EMPTY TO 1/4 OR 3/8 OF A TANK, NEVER SHOWING THE SAME READING FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME. I HAVE A FAMILY AND DO WORRY FOR THEIR SAFETY. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING TRULY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THERE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, AND THE COST IS WAY TO STEEP TO REPAIR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE GM DEALERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS, AND HAVE FOUND THAT THEY LIKE TO PRETEND THAT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE BEFORE. VERY UNCOOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS FOR MYSELF OF COURSE, BUT ALSO FOR THOSE PURCHASING THESE VEHICLES USED FROM PRIVATE PARTIES WITHOUT BEING NOTIFIED OF THIS ACUTE AND WIDESPREAD PARTS FAILURE, WHICH INDEED MUST BE DEFECTIVE IF IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY. SAFETY IS OF COURSE THE BIGGEST ISSUE HERE, AND GM SHOULD TAKE NOTE. *TR
