FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL. FUEL LEVEL WAS AT HALF A TANK WHEN I DECIDED TO TOP IT OFF BEFORE A SNOWSTORM HIT. GAUGE READ FULL BUT ONCE I STARTED DRIVING IT STARTED TO DECREASE AND NOTICED THE REMAINING MILES LEFT WERE ALSO DECREASING UNTIL LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. PUT CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED RISING AGAIN. DROVE AND IT WOULD GO UP AND DOWN. PARKED OVERNIGHT AND RESTARTED THE NEXT DAY AND GAUGE READ LOW FUEL AND INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. DROVE A LITTLE THEN GAS LEVEL WENT TO NORMAL AND STARTED FLUCTUATING. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
ON 1/31/2011 MY 2005 GMC ENVOY SHOWED MY GAS WAS DOWN TO A QUARTER OF A TANK. I STOPPED TO FILL UP BEFORE A SNOW STORM CAME IN AND PUT 16 GALLONS OF UNLEADED FUEL INTO MY TANK. IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND MY GAS LIGHT CAME ON. IT WENT UP TO A QUARTER OF A TANK AND THEN WENT BACK DOWN AGAIN. IT IS STILL SHOWING EMPTY, WITH THE GAS LIGHT ON, AND I KNOW IT HAS A FULL TANK OF GAS. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD 2 PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS AT 28000 MILES, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE RESISTOR FOR THE HEAT/AC FAN CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 5 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE FIRE WENT OUT ON IT'S OWN BY THE TIME I HAD ROOM TO PULL OVER (ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS). I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE PART REPLACED RIGHT AWAY SO I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND IN COLD AND ICY CONDITIONS WITHOUT EVEN BEING ABLE TO RUN THE DEFROSTER. THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS THAT AT ABOUT 32000 MILES MY GAS GAUGE BROKE. I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK AND WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND STAYED THERE. I MADE SURE THAT I WAS NOT LEAKING GASOLINE AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. IT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A WHILE BUT IS NOW COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE FIRST 25-100 MILES AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH USING THE 4WD OR TOWING VERY MUCH BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I KEEP TRACK OF MILES DRIVEN THESE THINGS EAT UP MORE FUEL. I DON'T WANT TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED BECAUSE OF THE REPAIR COST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS MALFUNCTIONING, THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY MANY ENVOY/GMC OWNERS. SYMPTOMS ARE INDICATION OF MOVEMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, ANY WHERE UP TO MAXIMUM SPEEDOMETER INDICATION. AT TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STAY AT 0 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. SUBMITTED A SERVICE REQUEST TO GM BUT WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE UNKNOWINGLY DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY, DRIVER RUNS OUT OF GAS, ALMOST GOT INTO MAJOR ACCIDENT. LUCKILY CAR BEHIND ME DIDN'T SLAM INTO ME. BUT IT ALMOST CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION OF REAR-ENDINGS. FAILURE IS DEFECTIVE GAS GAUGE/PUMP. INCORRECT INFO GIVEN TO DASH BOARD TELLING DRIVER IS AT 1/4 TANK OF GAS BUT THE REALTY IS THAT THE SENDING UNIT IS GIVING BAD INFO AND THE TANK IS POSSIBLY ON EMPTY. NO LIGHT COMES ON. DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS GM'S PART IS KNOWN TO FAIL FREQUENTLY AND IS POORLY DESIGNED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY THAT STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE FILLER TUBE AND FUEL ASSEMBLY WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER THE COSTLY FUEL TANK WAS NOT. HOW CAN YOU HAVE AN ITEM DIRECTLY RELATED TO CORROSION THAT CAUSED THE TANK PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE NOT BE REIMBURSABLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM TO ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO RIDE AROUND WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. SAFETY IN NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM. *TR

I HAVE CONTACTED THE GM DEALER IN OUR AREA AND HE DENIES THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON IMMEDIATELY AS THE CAR WAS STARTED (AND OCCASIONALLY THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT) AND REMAIN ON, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. OCCASIONALLY THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF WHEN THE CAR GOT VERY WARM. MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS CAR IS USED BY MY CHILDREN THE SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE OLD PART IS AVAILABLE. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A PART THAT THE MANUFACTURER (GM) SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SINCE THIS IS NOT A PART THAT REQUIRES OWNER MAINTENANCE AND IS CRITICAL TO THE CAR'S SAFETY. *TR
