THE CLUSTER GAUGE QUIT WORKING. FIRST THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED READING THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. SECOND, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER QUIT READING. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. CURRENTLY OUT OF THE ENTIRE CLUSTER GAUGE SYSTEM THE BATTERY METER IS THE ONLY GAUGE THAT WORKS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. IS ALWAYS ON E. EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP.. GAS LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND DINGING. I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM IN ENVOYS AND I FEEL GMC SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. MILEAGE RANGE IS HUGE SO IT IS HARD TO TRAVEL AND KNOW WHEN TO GET GAS. ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN GAS STATIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS IN RANGE.

PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER 2005 GMC ENVOY - FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY - SOMETIMES - IT WILL TELL YOU HAVE MORE GAS - MOST TIMES IT READS EMPTY. I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON SAT 4/30/11 - STUCK GOING UP A HILLED ENTRANCE INTO A MALL. THERE IS NO ACCURATE WAY TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL LEFT IN TANK. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL FOR GMC INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEMS. ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD. *TR

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING. CAR CAN RUN OUT OF GAS UNLESS CAREFULLY MONITORED BY OPERATOR. GAUGE BECAME FAULTY WITH TIME WHEN CAR WAS 3.5 YEARS OLD. AT FIRST WHEN TANK WAS FILLED, THE EMPTY LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN SUDDENLY REGISTER AS FULL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES OF OPERATION. GAUGE NOW ONLY REGISTERS 1/4TH TANK OR NOT AT ALL AFTER TANK IS FILLED. WITHOUT CAREFUL WATCH, THE CAR COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON A HIGHWAY AND BE STRUCK OR CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. DEALER ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR = $650.00 AND STATED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I DO NOT WISH TO PAY THIS EXORBITANT AMOUNT FOR REPAIR. IT APPEARS FROM MY RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND RAMPANT WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

AT 65,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL AND HAS SINCE REMAINED THERE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER PAST FUEL GAUGE RECALLS, AND I REFUSE TO REWARD GMC FOR SUPPLYING FAULTY PRODUCT BY PAYING THE QUOTED $800-$1000 TO REPLACE IT. THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCES OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ARE EXTENSIVE, FROM SLOWING AND BEING REAR ENDED TO BEING HIT ALONGSIDE THE ROAD WHILE GOING FOR GAS. *TR

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
AFTER EXITING INTERSTATE AND PULLING INTO PARKING LOT OF OUR CHILD CARE PROVIDER, CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND CAME TO A STOP. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS APPROX 1/4 TANK OF GAS. WALKED TO GAS STATION WITH MY TWO CHILDREN TO BUY A GAS CAN AND FILL TANK UP. GAS GAUGE HAS CONTINUED TO BE INACCURATE. WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL, THE "LOW GAS LIGHT" TURNS ON. AFTER DRIVING APPROX 50 MILES, LIGHT GOES OFF AND GAUGE INDICATED CAR HAS APPROX 3/4 TANK, ALTHOUGH THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 3/4 TANK FULL AND 1/4 TANK FULL. WE NOW HAVE TO SET THE "TRIP" BUTTON TO 0 EVERY TIME WE FILL THE ENVOY WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AND WE REFILL WHEN MILAGE IS AT APPROX 250 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT WE HAVE ADDED 23 GALLONS OF GAS (ALMOST A COMPLETELY EMPTY TANK) AND GAS GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS STILL A 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE GAS GAUGE FIXED AT THIS TIME. HAVE BEEN QUOTED BY ONE GMC DEALER SHIP THAT COST WOULD BE $600-800.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM FROM WHAT I CAN TELL FROM RESEARCHING IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND I HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS ON THE NET THAT PEOPLE ARE STATING THE SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING. THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ANYWHERE FROM 0-120 MPH AND THOUGH I HAVE NOTICED THAT NO FIRES OR DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED IS THIS WHAT THE NHTSA WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO DIE FROM THIS HAPPENING? ALSO, THE TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, AND VOLTAGE INDICATOR HAVE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES AS WELL. THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING (IE M.P.H.). I AM BEING TOLD THIS WILL BE A $450 FIX WHEN IN FACT WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS I AM READING ARE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES IT SEEMS THAT GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES. IS IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS SO MUCH INVESTED IN GMC THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEING RESOLVED? HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE THE NHTSA WILL REACT? DO I NEED TO START POSTING TO ALL THE FORUMS I ENCOUNTER AND GET PEOPLE TO SIGN UP? IF I AM THE 55TH PERSON WITH JUST THE '04 GMC ENVOY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE THEN ALL THE OTHER YEARS AND MODELS OF GM AND CHEVY FROM '02 THROUGH AT LEAST '06 MUST FILING COMPLAINTS, TOO. IN TOTAL THERE MUST BE ENOUGH TO AT LEAST LOOK INTO THE MATTER SO WHY ARE YOU STALLING? A PERSON NOT KNOWING HOW FAST THEY ARE DRIVING MUST BE A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY THROUGH SCHOOL ZONES AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS WOULD YOU NOT AGREE? FOR US THE ISSUE STARTED ABOUT A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE BY THE WEEK. WE MAY GO A DAY WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT THEN IT STARTS HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN; IT USE TO BE THAT IS WOULD START ONLY ON THE FREEWAY BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVEN AROUND TOWN. I WILL WAIT FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE NHTSA BEFORE GETTING THIS REPAIRED, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BY NOW BEING THAT I HAVE BEEN SEEING INFO ON THE NET ABOUT IT FOR SOME TIME NOW, BUT I FIGURE I NEED TO GET INVOLVED BEFORE ANYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. *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.
