FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY WITH 51,000 MILES ON IT. THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL AND NOW IS STUCK ON EMPTY. IT HAS LEFT MY WIFE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD A FEW TIMES BECAUSE SHE HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL SHE HAD. ONE TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ON A BUSINESS TRIP. I DON'T WANT MY WIFE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE BECAUSE GM IS TO CHEAP TO FIX A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS TSB'S ON THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES. THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN YOU CONTACT THEM THEY SAY IT ISN'T COVERED AND WILL COST AROUND $800 TO FIX. I S SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A FIX TO A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM ON A VEHICLE NOT THAT OLD. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, NOT TO MENTION STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. SOONER OR LATER IT WILL CAUSE A WRECK IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE BECAME ERRATIC. THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED, THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AS IF THERE WERE NO FUEL. IT REMAINED THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME. IT THEN WOULD FLUCTUATE WILDLY UNTIL A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS HAD BEEN USED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2004 GMC ENVOY. CUSTOMER REQUESTED FUEL SENDING UNIT TO BE REPLACED. UPON SPEAKING WITH OTHER ENVOY OWNERS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CORROSION AREAS, NAMELY NOVA SCOTIA. THE LEAK WAS FOUND AFTER OWNER SMELLED A CONSTANT GAS ODOR AROUND THE BACK DRIVER WHEEL WELL. WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS TAKEN DOWN FOR INSPECTION THE MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONTAINED THE FUEL PUMP, DEVELOPED CORROSION OF THE FUEL FEE/RETURN PIPES AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE ENTIRELY REPLACED ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2010. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 88,546KM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW ON THE LIFTGATE SUDDENLY EXPLODED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE LIFTGATE WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS BEING REPAIRED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC TWICE (THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF REPAIR) BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK. THE ERROR CONSTANTLY GOT WORST AND WORST UNTIL THE GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE YELLOW LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED MOST THE TIME AND THE NEEDLE SITS ON EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE GAS TANK HAS JUST BEEN FILLED. WAS TOLD THE FUEL SENSOR IN GAS TANK WAS FAULTY AND TO REPLACE WOULD MEAN REPLACING THE WHOLE PUMP ASSEMBLY. THIS ALONE WITH PARTS AND LABOR WILL COST ALMOST $1000.00. VEHICLE HAD 63,000 MILES AT TIME OF DEFICIENCY. *TR

MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL SLE HAS A LATCH PROBLEM ON THE BACK DOORS, IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED BUT ISN'T RESOLVED AND THE DRIVER HEADLAMP CONSTANTLY BURNS OUT, 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I CALLED ON A RECALL BUT THERE ISN'T ONE. ITS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AT SOME POINT. THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO FIX IT THE SOCKET WAS BURNT AND PLASTIC MELTED, THAT COULD'VE CAUSED A MAJOR FIRE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE HERE, IM GOING TO GET IN BIG TROUBLE BECAUSE I CAN'T PUT IN ANOTHER BULB IT WILL CAUSE MORE FIRE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND HAVE SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SEEM OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES. SINCE WE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE REAR WINDOW IS FOUND DOWN AND NOONE WAS EVEN IN/NEAR THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO WORK BUT STILL WILL GO DOWN BY ITSELF. A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION ON A RECALL OF SMELLING GAS FUMES WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLE CORROSION IN FUEL LINES. OF COURSE THE FUEL LINES WERE NOT CORRODED SO WE WERE TOLD. I FOOTED THE BILL $800+ TO GET A NEW FUEL TANK ,AS NECK ON TANK WAS CRACKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WHY WE SMELLED GAS. LUCKILY, I WENT TO MY GARAGE AND SAVED SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FROM THE DEALERS COST TO REPAIR. LAST WEEKEND 9/10/10 MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING TO TOWN AND THE MIDDLE WINDOW UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED AND NOW DOES NOT WORK. I RESEARCHED AN IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULATOR ISSUE AND WILL COST AROUND $500, WOW! OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS THERE IS A RATTLE WHEN WE TURN ON OUR AC. AGAIN AFTER WE WERE IN FOR SERVICE AS WE HAD THE AC CHARGED AT THE START OF SUMMER. I CAN SEE WHERE I HAVE THE SAME TROUBLES AS A LOT OF OTHERS AND FEEL, THE SAME AS THEY DO, LEFT HOLDING THE BAG BY GMC AND NO WAY OUT BUT, TO LOOK FOR A NEW/USED VEHICLE AND GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM: AFTER FILLING UP MY 2006 GMC ENVOY WITH FUEL MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT TOOK 2 ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE IGNITION IN ORDER FOR MY VEHICLE TO START. THE FUEL METER STILL CONTINUED TO READ EMPTY. ANY TIME, I WOULD STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED ONSTAR TO PROVIDE ME WITH A GOODWRENCH DIAGNOSIS ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY STATED THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM. ONSTAR STATED THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE SERVICED WITHIN 7 DAYS.
