BOUGHT MY 05 ENVOY XL WITH ABOUT 55,000 MILES SINCE THEN THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN ITS FULL. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS MAXED OUT BUT IT WILL WORK NORMAL EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. THE SPEEDO READS FASTER THAN IM GOING OR JUST MAXES OUT. IF I TURN THE CR OFF AND ON IT WILL WORK ITS WAY BACK TO NORMAL FOR AWHILE. THE STEREO WILL NOT WORK IF IT IS COLDER THAN 60 DEGREES OUT. TALKED TO DEALERSHIP AND GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY DID NOTHING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED AT JUST OVER 52,000. MILES. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY 2006 GMC OR CHEVROLET VEHICLES FROM THE SAME YEAR RANGE 2005 TO 2006. THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS "IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY THE $500.00 PLUS REPAIR ESTIMATE, JUST DO WHAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING AND RESET YOUR TRIP METER AT EVERY FILL UP. LOOK TO RE-FUEL BETWEEN 250 AND 300 MILES." IN MY RESEARCH I DISCOVERED A PERSON WHOSE VEHICLE DID THE SAME EXACT THING. HE WAS USING THE TRIP METER AS THE GAUGE AND EVEN WITH FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, HE WAS LEFT STRANDED IN AN INTERSTATE DUE TO AN ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN TO A FAMILY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER THERE COULD BE SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATIONS. IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE THAT WE OWN WAS PRICED AT $38,000.00 PLUS MSRP,I WOULD EXPECT THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WOULD PERFORM BEYOND THE 50,000 MILE RANGE. I'M SURE, BY NOW, THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS HEARD FROM OTHER GM OWNERS ABOUT THIS SAME SITUATION. I AM INTERESTED IN YOUR RESPONSE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE GAS GAUGE IS READING EMPTY EVEN WHEN IT IS FULL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF I RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IT COULD RESULT IN A REAR END COLLISION. NOT TO MENTION THAT THIS CAR IS NEW AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE TYPE OF ISSUES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY AND JUST STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS NEEDLE DROPS TO EMPTY, THE FUEL LOW INDICATOR COMES ON AND IT STAYS ON UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN TURN IT BACK ON OR IT MOVES UP SOME, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO REMAIN ON. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE A AN OPEN COMPLAINT WITH THEM. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED A LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK FOR A GAS GAUGE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY OF THESE TYPES OF COMPLAINTS AND WILL HAVE TO RESEARCH IT. THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE FOUND IS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH ENVOY'S, GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND HAVE NOT GIVEN OWNERS ANY RESOLUTION. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AN ANNOYING ISSUE AND A COSTLY REPAIR FOR OWNERS AND THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION ON REPLACING THESE KNOWN PROBLEMS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED EMPTY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK WITH 20 GALLONS. THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO READ EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM THAT NEEDS RECALLED AND FIXED. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE AMOUNT OF FUEL YOU HAVE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I LEFT THE SHOP AND DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM MYSELF. AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THE BULBS AND DISCOVERING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ELSEWHERE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED UNDER THE DASH, THEY DETERMINED THAT EVERY TIME I HIT BRAKES, THE WIRES WERE BEING STRIPPED AND CAUSED A SHORT.
