FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 GMC ENVOY GASOLINE GAUGE FAILURE. READS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FUEL REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. WILL GO UP AND OWN ON ITS OWN. LOW FUEL ALARM WILL SOUND EVEN WITH FULL TANK OF FUEL. STARTED SEPT 2010. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY FAILED TO CORRECTLY REPORT THE QUANTITY OF GAS IN THE TANK STARTING AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. IT ALWAYS REPORTS A VALUE THAT I KNOW IS WILDLY INACCURATE, AND EVEN SETS OFF THE LOW FUEL ALARM WHEN I KNOW THE TANK IS NEARLY FULL. I STOPPED RELYING ON THE GAS GAUGE A LONG TIME AGO, BECAUSE THAT WOULD INEVITABLY LEAD TO THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL CAUSING VEHICLE STALL WITH NO RESTART, WITH OBVIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. INSTEAD, I FUEL THE VEHICLE ON THE BASIS OF NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN, AN INHERENTLY FLAWED METHOD WITH HIGHER PROBABILITY OF FAILURE. MY DEALER HAS ADVISED ME THAT REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $400.

FUEL GAGE STARTED TO READ INCORRECTLY AFTER FILLING TANK - INITIALLY WOULD DROP TO EMPTY AND THEN READ CORRECTLY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 100 MILES - NOW READS INCORRECTLY ALL THE TIME. AFTER FILLING IT WILL SHOW EMPTY AND WILL NEVER READ MORE A QUARTER TANK FULL. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK BEFORE HEADING OUT OF TOWN ON 4/22/11, FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY. GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY FOR THE PAST WEEK NOW. NEWS REPORT OF NHTSA INVESTIGATION MADE ME AWARE THAT I COULD REPORT THIS SOMEWHERE. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAS ALSO BEEN ACTING SIMILARLY ERRATIC, STARTING A FEW DAYS BEFORE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2005 ENVOY QUIT WORKING AFTER A FULL TANK OF GAS WAS PUT IN. THE GAGE GOES UP AND DOWN AT ITS OWN WILL. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENSORY PROBLEM AND WOULD COST AROUND $600 TO FIX. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC VEHICLES. ON ONE SITE ALONE I FOUND 500+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I THINK ITS TIME FOR A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
FUEL GAUGE ERRATIC AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. KNEW IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. LIVED ON RESETTING TRIP ODOMETER EVERY 200 MILES AND WOULD FILL UP. THIS INCONVENIENCE LASTED TWO YEARS UNTIL CONSTANT AUDIO AND VISUAL LOW FUEL SIGNALS. ENDED UP PAYING $450 FOR REPAIR. COMPLETELY CONFIDENT THAT GM KNEW THE ORIGINAL WAS FAULTY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING I LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK MY SPEED AND WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER READING 120 MPH. WHILE DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT WAS SETTLED IN 2008 BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED AS COVERED IN THE SUIT. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED AS MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE ONES COVERED IN THE SETTLEMENT. UNDER THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT GM WOULD PROVIDE THE CLUSTER AT NO COST TO ME AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LABOR COST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AFTER FILL UP. MOVES FROM EMPTY, TO 1/2 FULL, TO 1/4 FULL TO EMPTY, BACK TO 1/4 FULL, BACK TO EMPTY. I CAN'T DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS IN MAY TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ENVOY AND CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. THERE IS NO WARNING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL OR SUGGESTION THAT THE GAUGE AND SENSORS BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR - BETWEEN $600 AND $900.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON FUEL, BUT IN REALITY, THE VEHICLE WAS FULL OF GASOLINE. I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAUGE WILL DISPLAY HALF OF A TANK. WHEN HALF OF A TANK OF FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE DISPLAYS THAT IT IS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,500. *TR

2006 GMC XUV HAS A TAILGATE PROBLEM WITH NOT OPENING WITH ELECTRIC OPENER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO EMERGENCY WAY TO OPEN THE TAILGATE SINCE THE LATCHES ONLY OPERATE WITH ELECTRICITY (SWITCHES). WEATHER IS THE MAIN FAULT POOR ENGINEERING LETS PARTS GET WET INSIDE THE DOOR FRAME AND DESTROYS THE LATCHES AND ELECTRONICS STORED INSIDE. *TR

BOUGHT MY 05 ENVOY XL WITH ABOUT 55,000 MILES SINCE THEN THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN ITS FULL. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS MAXED OUT BUT IT WILL WORK NORMAL EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. THE SPEEDO READS FASTER THAN IM GOING OR JUST MAXES OUT. IF I TURN THE CR OFF AND ON IT WILL WORK ITS WAY BACK TO NORMAL FOR AWHILE. THE STEREO WILL NOT WORK IF IT IS COLDER THAN 60 DEGREES OUT. TALKED TO DEALERSHIP AND GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY DID NOTHING. *TR
