2004 ENVOY, 81,300 MILES. FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING OR WHEN THEY DO IT IS VERY ERRATIC AND UNRELIABLE. ON A TRIP THROUGH MIN I NOTICED THE GAUGE SAID I WAS GOING 70 MPH IN 45 ZONE. THEN RAN OUT OF GAS ON ANOTHER TRIP NOT REALIZING THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ALSO NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. AT THIS POINT I USE MY GARMIN FOR DETERMINING SPEED. LOOKING TO GET IT FIXED BUT WAS ESTIMATED THE COST FOR NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL WOULD BE $600. *TR

DURING COLDER DAYS, OUR SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2003 GMC ENVOY XL DOES NOT WORK UNTIL IT WARMS UP. WE HAVE 112,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER RESEARCHING ON LINE FOR SPEEDOMETER ISSUES, THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE. I CANNOT TELL WHAT SPEED WE ARE GOING AND THEN ONCE IT WARMS UP IT BEGINS TO WORK RECORDING HALF SPEED. IT MAY OR MAY NOT EVENTUALLY RECORD ACCURATE SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FROM THE STAND POINT THAT I USE MY SPEEDOMETER TO DETERMINE SPEED GOING INTO CORNERS AND OFF RAMPS. WITHOUT THIS ABILITY, MY SPEED IS ESTIMATED WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW ACCURATE SPEED INTO CURVES. THIS APPEARS TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT IS HAVING A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND THE SENDER UNIT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. APPARENTLY NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE ON THEIR GM SUVS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THESE KNOWN MANUFACTURER FAULTY WORKMANSHIP ISSUES. *TR

FAULTY FUEL TANK SENSOR IN MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. FILLED MY TRUCK UP ONLY FOR THE GAS GAUGE TO READ EMPTY. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON! TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE FUEL TANK SENSOR FAILED AND HE NOTED IT A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE ENVOY. ITS COSTING ME 800.00 TO FIX THIS. I HAVE DONE SOME WEB RESEARCH AND IT INDEED LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING. GM SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THEM REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY OR NOT? *TR

ERRATIC SPEED ODOMETER READINGS, HAPPENS 3-4 TIMES WEEKLY. THIS HAPPENS FROM YOUR ACTUAL SPEED OF 40-60 MPH, YOU LOOK DOWN NEXT SECOND AND YOU ARE GOING 100-120 MPH PER ODOMETER. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP IT SAYS YOUR STILL GOING 90-110 MPH, ONLY WAY TO RESET YOUR ODOMETER IS TO PULL OVER AND RESTART YOUR CAR ABOUT 50-60 TIMES UNTIL IT SAYS 0 MPH. SOMETIMES THIS WONT LAST BUT 5 MIN... THIS ALSO INCREASES YOUR CARS MILEAGE. GMC WILL NOT REPAIR THIS WITH OUT CHARGING YOU 600 DOLLARS. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE ON THE ROAD AND NOT FAIR TO PEOPLE OWING CARS, OR BUYING CARS TO HAVE NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE ON A CAR NOR TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. UPDATED IVOQ 12/03/10. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY. I CAN REGISTER 1/4 A TANK BUT THE MINUTE I FILL, THE GAUGE DROPS BELOW EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE TO DRIVE AT LEAST 25 MILES TO HAVE IT REGISTER EVEN A 1/4 OF A TANK AND A FULL 70-85 MILES FOR THE GAUGE TO GET TO SHOW A MORE ACCURATE LEVEL. THE MECHANIC I WENT TO ADMITTED IT WAS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAUSING THE ISSUE BUT ADVISED ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP. HE QUOTED $505 FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND AN ADDITIONAL $360 FOR THE LABOR ITS NOT FIXED I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, WHAT HAPPENS IF I RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A TIGHT TURN ON A HILL AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND THE STEERING LOCKS? I'VE READ 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS AND HORROR STORIES ABOUT THIS AND NO RECALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! *TR

FUEL GAUGE ON 2006 ENVOY READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME AFTER FUNCTIONALLY FLUCTUATING FOR SOME TIME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GUESS ACCURATELY THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE CAR. REPAIR IS EXPENSIVE AND THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TIRES
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2002 GMC ENVOY. I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY AND I RECENTLY CAME OUT OF MY HOUSE AND FOUND I HAD A FLAT FRONT TIRE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR ENVOY THAT WE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE ON THE ENVOY OURSELVES. I WANTED TO SWITCH THE FLAT WITH MY FULL SIZE SPARE. WHEN MY HUSBAND TRIED TO REMOVE THE SPARE THE HOIST THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE WOULD NOT BUDGE. HE EVENTUALLY JACKED UP THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE FLAT TIRE AND TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED. LATER THAT DAY I BROUGHT MY ENVOY TO A TIRE STORE TO REPLACE ALL MY TIRES. THE SERVICE ATTENDANT TOLD ME HE COULD NOT LOWER THE HOIST TO REMOVE THE SPARE EITHER AND SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO MY GMC DEALER. I BROUGHT MY ENVOY BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY ALSO COULD NOT LOWER THE HOIST. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS A 'DESIGN FLAW ON THE PART OF GMC. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIS GMC VEHICLE ONLY IN HIS CASE THE HOIST AND SPARE FELL OUT OFF HIS WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IT AND HE DID NOT EVEN REALIZE IT UNTIL HE LOOKED UNDERNEATH ONE DAY AND IT WAS GONE. HE THEN TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME $285 TO REPLACE MINE. I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY CAR HAD 89,000 MILES AND IT WAS OUT OF ITS WARRANTY THAT THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR. GMC SAID IT WAS 'NORMAL WARE AND TARE' AND WAS CAUSED BY BAD WEATHER AND ROAD SALT. WHY ON EARTH WOULD GMC DESIGN A SPARE TIRE HOIST THAT COULD NOT WITHSTAND THE ELEMENTS FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE? THERE IS NOTHING WRITTEN IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL ABOUT HOW TO CARE AND MAINTAIN FOR THE SPARE TIRE HOIST ON THE 2002 ENVOY. I WAS LUCKY THE FLAT OCCURRED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND NOT ON A HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. *TR

DEFECTIVE GAS GAUGE IN 2005 ENVOY, ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT. GAUGE BOUNCES ERRATICALLY, AND EVEN AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY. PROBLEM JUST STARTED LAST WEEK AND NOW HAPPENS DAILY - THERE IS NO RELIABLE WAY TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS I ACTUALLY HAVE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT I NOTICED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ONE DAY I FILLED UP MY GAS GAGE AND IT READ EMPTY WHEN I DROVE AWAY. IT HAS READ EMPTY EVER SINCE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MOVING SLIGHTLY ABOVE E FOR A FEW MIN SHORTLY AFTER FILLING TANK. THIS HAPPENED IN FEB 07 AND I JUST HAVE NOT HAD THE MONEY TO DROP ON A GAS GAGE SO I CALCULATE MY MILES WHICH IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT AND I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK IN MT 2004 GMC ENVOY. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THE GMC PICKUPS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS HANDLED AS A RECALL. WHEN IT BEGAN, IT WOULD HANG UP AT A RANGE BETWEEN 60-90 MPH. IT NOW JUST SITS AT 0. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED FOR SPEEDING IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN MASSACHUSETTS, WHERE I WORK FOR GOING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5-15 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS HAS COST ME MONEY IN FINES AND MY AUTO INSURANCE, IT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL, GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. I INQUIRED WITH MY MECHANIC, AND ITS ABOUT A $900.00 FIX FOR ME TO REPAIR! *TR

GAS GUAGE READS EMPTY, EVEN AFTER FILLING TANK. IT SOMETIMES FLUCTUATES, BUT RETURNS TO EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON AND ALARM SOUNDING. THIS IS A 2006 ENVOY XL WITH 50,000 MILES. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND BEING SUBSEQUENTLY IMPACTED FROM THE REAR, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE READ OVER 400 COMPLAINTS ONLINE, AFFECTING MANY VEHICLE YEARS AND MODELS. WHEN WILL ACTION BE TAKEN TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE UNITS? AFTER BAILING OUT GM WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS, I WOULD EXPECT THAT GM WOULD FOLLOW THE CORRECT ETHICAL COURSE AND BOTH REDESIGN AND REPLACE THE UNIT IN ALL THE VEHICLE YEARS AFFECTED; I BELIEVE AN EXISTING COMPLAINT ALREADY EXISTS, COMPLAINT(DP10001)
