FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VISIBILITY
I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY. TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK THE GAUGE INDICATED NO FUEL, AND THEN IT WOULD FLUCTUATE, FROM FULL TO EMPTY. NOW IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. THE GAS TANK IS FULL AND READS EMPTY, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN IT READS I HAVE HALF A TANK, THEN NO GAS AND BACK UP TO FULL. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE PROBLEMS AND HOPE THERE WILL BE A RECALL SOON ON THIS. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, I DO NOT GET AN ACCURATE READING. WHEN IT'S 70 DEGREES OUT, IT READS -34 DEGREES. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY BLOWER, THE HIGHEST LEVEL DOES NOT WORK. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP THE TANK. THE GAUGE SOMETIMES READS FULL WHEN THE TANK IS CLOSE TO EMPTY. AT TIMES IT WILL READ EMPTY WHEN IT'S FULL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS PROVIDING INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND WOULD DISPLAY THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY WHEN IT WAS NOT. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT BUT PROGRESSIVELY OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. IT HAS BEEN ACTING UP OCCASIONALLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT NOW IT SOMETIMES WILL TOTALLY MALFUNCTION AND EITHER BOTTOM OUT AT ZERO, OR REGISTER TOO HIGH, IT IS JUST NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR GMC VEHICLES OF THIS TIME FRAME, AND ENVOYS ARE ONE OF THE WORST. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAGE STAYS ON EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ONCE YOU FILL THE VEHICLE TO FULL AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AFTER SEVERAL HOURS THE FUEL GAGE WILL MOVE TO THE FULL MARK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT GO OUT. LEAVING YOU UNSURE WITH THE AMOUNT OF FUEL YOU HAVE IN VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS EVEN AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
WHEN I START MY CAR EVERY MORNING THE FUEL GAUGE STARTS OUT CORRECTLY AND THEN WHEN I START TO TRAVEL THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. AFTER I TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 15 MIN THE GAUGE WILL START TO CLIMB TO ABOUT THE APPROX CORRECT FUEL AMOUNT THEN IT DROPS DOWN AGAIN. I CAN USUALLY GET A GOOD READING AFTER I FILL THE TANK BUT WHEN I TURN THE ENGINE OFF IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO WEEKS NOW. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THAT I AM NOT SURE WHAT MY FUEL LEVEL IS UNLESS I COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. I HAVEN'T DONE ANY CORRECTIVE MEASURES YET. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENSOR ON OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY FAILED IN SEPTEMBER 2010. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS JUST BEEN FILLED UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. WE MUST USE OUR TRIP TO KEEP TRACK OF MILEAGE TO LET US KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO FILL UP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS YOU NEVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK AND BECAUSE THE GAS MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE FLUCTUATES FROM 15MPG-18MPG. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WE ARE NOT SURE IF IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL SENSOR OR BECAUSE OF ANOTHER PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT MANY GMC ENVOYS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND RECENTLY WE READ AN ARTICLE STATING THAT GMC IS LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PROBLEMS ARE REPORTED AS WELL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE TANK WITH GASOLINE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE GAS GAGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY AND THE ALARM SOUNDED. THE GAGE RECOVERED AFTER THE LEVEL DROPPED TO ABOUT 1/3 AND OPERATED CORRECTLY FOR THE REST OF THE TANK. THEN THE GAGE BECAME MORE ERRATIC AND HAS NO INDICATION OF THE AMOUNT IN THE TANK. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2006 ENVOY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AS THEY MUST REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT IN THE TANK.

PROBLEM WITH MY GAS GAUGE IN JUST TURNED 40,000 MI. ADD FUEL LIGHT COMES ON EVEN AFTER FILL UP. ALSO GAUGE GOES BACK AND FORTH DURING OPERATION OF THE CAR. WHEN THE GAUGE HITS EMPTY A BELL GOES OFF AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT GOES ON. EVENTUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO GO ON INDICATING THERE IS AN ISSUE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BREAKING DOWN AND CONSIDER IT A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE. LOCAL GMC DEALER HAS NO CLUE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH GAS GAUGES. TRIED TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM BUT JUST GOT WORSE DECIDED TO GET IT FIXED $900. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS IS IN ADDITION TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT (TCN: DBN20-8138 REFERS. YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY '03 GMC ENVOY WHEN IT STOPPED AT ONE OF THE BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS IN TOWN. GAS GAUGE REGISTERED 1/4 FUEL. AFTER PUSHING IT TO A PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, IT STARTED TO FLUTTER AND STOP, THEN NOTHING. THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY, HAD IT RECHARGED AND REINSTALLED, SAME SYMPTOMS. THOUGHT OF OTHER OWNERS OF '03 ENVOYS HAVING PROBS WITH FUEL GAUGE, DECIDED TO PUT MORE FUEL WHICH I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE IT TO MY RESIDENCE. THE FUEL GAUGE IS A PROBLEM IN ADDITION TO THE RPM GAUGE AS PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED. THERE ARE MANY ENVOY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THESE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ADDITIONAL ONES AS SEE ON EDMUNDS ENVOY FORUM. THIS COULD POSE AS A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF MY WIFE WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AND IT SUDDENLY DIED ON HER, REAR-END COLLISION WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE FAILED TO WORK CORRECTLY. IT WOULD READ EMPTY AFTER JUST FILLING UP, SOMETIMES IT WOULD APPEAR TO WORK AND SHOW THERE WAS MORE OR LESS GAS THAN THERE ACTUALLY WAS. RAN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES, DUE TO FAILURE OF THE GAS GAUGE. FINALLY HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED (SOME SORT OF SENSOR), COST A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE.
