FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON MY VEHICLE. IT STAYS ON "E" WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON WEBSITES. OCCASIONALLY THE GAUGE WILL MOVE UP BUT THEN GO BACK TO "E". I WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A BAD FUEL SENOR GAUGE WHICH IS IN THE GASOLINE TANK. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR OVER 6 MONTHS, AS THE COST WAS ASTRONOMICAL AND I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, RECENTLY MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAS SHOWN THE MAX AMOUNT AND THEN LAST NIGHT IT WENT DOWN TO THE LOWEST AMOUNT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT GOES BACK AND FORTH FROM HIGH TO LOW AND THE OIL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT COMES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THEN GOES OFF. IT SAYS TO STOP ENGINE. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH MY ENGINE AND I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO CONFIRM THAT. I BELIEVE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INCLUDED IN GM'S MODELS. I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WITH AN OLDER GMC SUV WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND THEY ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH A GMC TRUCK THEY USED TO HAVE BUT GOT RID OF IT, DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONS. SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY GE. *TR

GMC ENVOY DENALI XL 2006 FUEL GAUGE ISSUE. 1ST INCIDENT - FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK GAS AVAILABLE WHILE TRAVELING IN I-70 IL WHEN VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING AT 65MPH PASSING SEMI TRUCK.

NOT REALIZING FUEL GAUGE WAS FAULTY A WEEK LATER SIMILAR SITUATION OCCURRED - RAN OUT OF GAS AS I WAS PULLING UP TO AN INTERSECTION - LIGHTS HAD JUST TURNED RED AND I WAS UNABLE TO APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE TO BRAKES AS WE WERE HEADING DOWNHILL THAT I WENT THROUGH RED LIGHT AND 2 CARS HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID CRASHING IN TO ME. 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. REALIZING THERE WAS AN ISSUE - ENTIRE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM WAS REPLACED - TOTAL COST OVER $800. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD GO FROM EMPTY TO FULL, THEN BACK DOWN TO HALF A TANK. IT DID THAT FOR A MONTH OR SO EVEN AFTER WE WOULD FILL IT UP. NOW IT JUST STAYS ON EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS RAN ON IT AND IT WAS THE FUEL SENSING UNIT. NOW MORE RECENTLY IT WILL JUST DIE AND STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. ITS DONE THAT TWICE NOW IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, ONCE WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH MY WIFE, LUCKILY THEY WERE CLOSE TO A SAFE AREA TO COAST INTO. I KNOW THAT THE TANK HAD GAS IN IT, WE RESET THE TRIP EVERYTIME WE FILL UP AND THAT'S ALL WE DO SO WE CAN HAVE AN ACCURATE READING, WE USUALLY GO AROUND 360 MILES BEFORE WE FILL UP AGAIN. THE FIRST STALL WE HAVE ONLY GONE AROUND 230 MILES. SO GAS WAS IN THE TANK. WE HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO REPLACE IT YET FOR FINANCIAL REASONS, BUT AS IT KEEPS STALLING WE MAY NEED TO DO SOMETHING SOON, ITS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I'VE HAD IT ESTIMATED AT $750. *TR
