FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 GMC ENVOY; THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING CRAZY LATELY, SO I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THIS MATTER ON THE INTERNET, AND HAVE BEEN FINDING MORE AND MORE INCIDENTS WHERE THE GAS GAUGE EITHER STAYS ON EMPTY OR FLUCTUATES FROM EMPTY BACK TO FULL AND EVENTUALLY STOPS WORKING. AT APPX. 46,000MILES, MY GAS GAUGE STARTED DOING THE SAME AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, GOING FROM EMPTY TO FULL, AND SPORADICALLY REPEATING THIS EVEN IF THE FUEL TANK WAS FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE BEING AT THE EMPTY LEVEL, BUT THE TANK IS FUEL, CAUSES A CONSTANT ALARM BELL TO GO OFF EVERY 10 SECONDS OR SO, EVERYTIME YOU GET IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE FUEL SENSOR TO REPLACE IT, BUT IT SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE THE HOLE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH RUNS AROUND $400, AND I AM NOT GOING TO REPLACE IT, IF EVERYONE THAT HAS A GMC ENVOY OR CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. FROM WHAT I GATHER, FROM MY RESEARCH, EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON ALL FORUMS THAT I HAVE READ. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 51,000MILES ON IT RIGHT NOW, AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:VALVE
ON 6/3/2008, I PURCHASED 2 MICHELIN LTX M/S 245/65/17 TIRES FOR MY 2003 GMC ENVOY FROM, MILLENNIUM AUTOBODY & SERVICE INC., 1782 MAIN ST., BROCKTON, MA 02304. ON 10/22/2008 (AFTER ONLY 7969 MILES) THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE WAY TO FL- HAD IT BEEN REPLACED IN NY. THE TIRE WAS SHREDDED. ON 11/10/2008 (AFTER ONLY 9557 MILES ) THE 2ND TIRE WENT FLAT- I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE SUV OVER QUICKLY RECOGNIZING THE SAME SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS FROM 1ST BLOW OUT. THIS TIRE WAS NOT SHREDDED. THERE WAS NO PUNCTURES/ CUTS TO THE TIRE. THE CLERK AT THE TIRE KINGDOM IN FL STATED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY TIRE VALVE STEM THAT HAD CAUSED THE TIRE TO FAIL. I CALLED HOME, AND MY FAMILY ADVISED ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN REPORTS OF BAD VALVE STEMS ON TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I CONTACTED THE LOCATION WHERE I PURCHASED THE TIRES TO REPORT THE TWO TIRES FAILING- THEY REQUESTED THAT I BRING THE TIRES BACK WHEN I CAME BACK TO MA. I DID NOT HAVE THE 1ST TIRE- BUT I DID GET AND STILL HAVE THE 2ND TIRE. MILLENNIUM AUTOBODY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO TALK TO TIRE REP AND GET BACK TO ME- BUT IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS NOW AND STILL NO WORD. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED DURING THESE 2 EVENTS- I FEAR THAT THERE ARE STILL FAULTY TIRE VALVES OUT THERE- THAT OTHER CONSUMERS MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THEM. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
BOTH OF MY WINDOWS WHICH SLIDE DOWN WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON DO NOT WORK! THEY HAVE BOTH BUSTED. ONE IS STUCK DOWN. THE OTHER I HAVE TO SHOVE UP BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING FROM THE VIBRATIONS IT FALLS. VERY UNSAFE. THEY BOTH STOPPED WORK WHILE I WAS OPERATING THEM BY PUSHING THE BUTTON FOR THEM TO SLIDE DOWN. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THEM YET. ITS VERY COSTLY. ITS HARD TO BELIEVE NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES FOR 2005 GMC ENVOY. FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY IN LATE 2008. READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL. TODAY, 03/03/09, I EXPERIENCED A DEGRADED POWER SYMPTOM (AND WARNING ON THE DASH) RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HELLO, I PURCHASED A 2005 ENVOY DENALI LAST YEAR. RIGHT AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE THE FUEL LEVELING SENSOR CAME ON (I THINK 1 OF EVERY 2 GET THIS PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL). I LET IT GO BUT NOW ITS TIME FOR INSPECTION! WELL WITH THE LIGHT ON IT CANNOT BE INSPECTED AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME WITH WHAT THEY SAID COULD BE WELL OVER $700. I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS SITE OF MANY HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TH8JI6TEPO3VRJI3D/P2 OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WISH THEY WOULD STAND BY THERE PRODUCT AND HAVE A RECALL OF THIS BECAUSE ITS REALLY A HUGE PROBLEM IF I'VE EVER SEEN ONE. I AM NOT SAYING THIS JUST BECAUSE I HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT MANY MANY PEOPLE DO. DO A EBAY LIST FOR AN ENVOY AND I GUARANTEE YOU THAT YOU'LL SEE ALMOST HALF IF THEY SHOW YOU THE DASH BOARD HAS THIS PROBLEM. I DID NOTHING WRONG BUT FILL UP MY TANK AND I GOT THIS ERROR. LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING IN THE NEAR FUTURE WILL BE DONE. MY INSPECTION IS ALMOST UP AND ITS A MUST TO GET DONE! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK IN MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. ONE DAY I FILLED THIS VEHICLE UP AND THE GAS GAUGE REMAINED ON EMPTY AND FOR A MONTH IT WOULD READ NORMAL SOMETIMES, BUT NOW IT STAYS ON EMPTY THIS HAS OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR,I HAVE 52,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY, SO THIS PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 ENVOY ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES AND THE FLYWHEEL IS GOING BAD WHICH MAY LEAD TO FUTURE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION THERE IS ALSO A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM WHERE I FILL UP THE CAR COMPLETELY AND IT STILL READS EMPTY. TO REPLACE THIS WOULD BE $800 DOLLARS!!! I HAVE FOUND OTHER WEBSITES WHERE OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS CAR ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!!!!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PROBLEM STARTED OUT AS ERRATIC READING WITH SPEEDOMETER. AFTER APPROX. 5 DAYS SPEEDO FINALLY WOULDN'T REGISTER AT ALL TOOK VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED DEALER TO BE REPAIRED - $555.00 CHARGE TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND REPROGRAM. CALLED GM FOR FINANCIAL HELP AS I NOTICED THERE WERE ALOT OF FAILURES WITH GMC SUV'S AND PICK-UP TRUCKS. GM WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHICH I FEEL IS TOTALLY DISINGENUOUS. SPEEDOMETER IS NECESSARY TO BE WORKING AS A SAFETY ISSUE. BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF STATE AT THE TIME OF PART BREAKDOWN I FELT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE MY RETURN TRIP HOME (1250 MILES). JUDGING HOW MANY OTHER ENVOYS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM, I FEEL GM IS DODGING THEIR RESPONSIBILITY I NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN CLASS-ACTIONS AGAINST THEM FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. LOW FUEL ALARM WILL GO OFF RANDOMLY EVEN THOUGH THEIR IS FUEL IN THE CAR. BECAUSE OF THIS I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GASOLINE I REALLY HAVE. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS AND BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD B/C OF THIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE TACHOMETER WOULD QUIT WORKING BUT IT HAPPENED ONLY A COUPLE OF TIMES IN JAN 2008 & AGAIN IN JUNE 2008 AND WHEN WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT THE NEXT TIME IT SEEMED TO BE FINE AS IF IT NEEDED RESET. IN JAN OF 2009 THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO FAIL AT FIRST OCCASIONALLY THEN ALL THE TIME AT THE SAME TIME THE TACHOMETER SPORADICALLY FAILED. SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN THE DASH (THEY KEPT THE OLD PART) AND GM REFUSED TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM SITTING THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. UPON REVIEW ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL GAUGE INDICATORS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM, AND IT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $500 TO REPAIR. MOST COMPLAINTS ARE HAPPENING AROUND 45-50 THOUSAND MILES... *TR

POWER TRAIN, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL STARTED TO SEIZE UP WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. MY CAR WOULD MADE A GRUNTING NOISE AND SLOWED TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP, GOOD THING IT WAS EARLY MORNING AND THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY. A CAR OR TRUCK COULD OF EASILY RAN INTO MY BUMPER CAUSING ME SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CALLED THE REPAIR PLACE RIGHT AWAY AND THEY GOT ME IN IMMEDIATELY. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

STRUCTURE
6 YEARS AFTER NEW PURCHASE AND APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES, RUST BUBBLES STARTED APPEARING AROUND THE LOWER INSIDE EDGES OF ALL FIVE DOORS. NO ACTUAL RUST WAS VISIBLE UNTIL DEALER MANAGER PEALED A SMALL AREA OF BUBBLING PAINT OFF WITH A KNIFE AND EXPOSED THE RUST UNDERNEATH. GM WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PAINT DEFECT, HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR DEALER TO SAND AND REPAINT. RUST PROTECTION WARRANTY WAS NOT HONORED BECAUSE NO RUST-THROUGH HAD OCCURRED YET. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS TANK ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XLT (80K MILES) IS LEAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN TANK IS FULL. THERE WAS A SMALL PUDDLE ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY STARTED BACK AROUND 50K MILES WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND MECHANICS BEFORE, BUT IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE SOME SORT OF FUEL CAP PROBLEM OR OVER SENSITIVE SENSORS. HOWEVER, TODAY, BECAUSE MY GAS TANK WAS FULL, THE DEALER FOUND THAT THERE ARE LEAKS CAUSED BY A CRACK TANK AND FUEL TANK NECK. THE FUEL LEAK AND VAPOR ARE SO STRONG THAT I FEARED A SMALL SPARK CAN SET THE WHOLE VEHICLE ON FIRE LIKE A ROMAN CANDLE. CAR WAS USED FOR EVERYDAY COMMUTE ONLY. *TR

THE TACHOMETER STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY SHOWING SURGES IN THE ENGINE RPM. THIS PROBLEM CAME AND WENT AND NOW, FEBRUARY 2009, THE SPEEDOMETER IS DOING THE SAME THING. I WAS DOING 90 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM ON GM VEHICLES AND THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING IT. THEY ARE LEAVING IT TO THE OWNER TO PAY A DEALER $600 OR MORE FOR REPAIRS. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY 05 GMC ENVOY XL QUIT WORKING. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WILL FLUCTUATE BUT MOSTLY READS EMPTY AND EMITS LOW FUEL WARNING BUZZER EVEN AFTER I HAVE FILLED THE GAS TANK. I SPOKE TO A SERVICE WRITER AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HIS RESPONSE WAS THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD LOOK AT MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT $300.00-NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM-JUST DIAGNOSE IT. HE ALSO SAID THAT I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TOO MUCH.*TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS JUST STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE FILLED THE GAS TANK AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. THEN 10 MINUTES LATER THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND IT READS THAT I DO HAVE FUEL. THEN A LITTLE LATER IT STARTS GOING DOWN AND READS EMPTY AGAIN. I HAVE RE-STOPPED TO GET GAS TO FIND THAT THE TANK IS FULL. THIS IS WRONG AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. IT DRAWS THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM DRIVING AND MUST HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS SOMEWHERE IN THE USA. *TR
