FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON FUEL, BUT IN REALITY, THE VEHICLE WAS FULL OF GASOLINE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAUGE WILL DISPLAY HALF OF A TANK. WHEN HALF OF A TANK OF FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE DISPLAYS THAT IT IS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY RPM GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. MY SPEEDOMETER WORKS WHEN USING IN STOP AND GO MODE OR CITY DRIVING. BUT WHEN I AM ON A TRIP MY SPEEDOMETER WILL QUIT WORKING ACCURATELY. IT WILL REFLECT A MUCH LOWER SPEED THAN I AM GOING. MY CRUISE CONTROL IS OFTEN ENGAGED WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. BUT THE RPM GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS AT ANY TIME. I TALKED TO SOMEONE AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE SYMPTOMS THAT I DESCRIBE ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2003/04 CHEVYS THAT DO HAVE A RECALL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY STEPS YET TO FIX. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE $95 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE AND THAT MOST LIKELY IT WOULD COST $550 TO FIX (BASED ON WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE CHEVYS THAT ARE ON RECALL). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY AND OTHERS GMC ENVOYS AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. A FLOOD OF INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. MOST CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE LACK OF A RECALL TO FIX THIS SITUATION. SITUATION: ERRATIC OR EMPTY GAS GAUGE READING EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. A FULL TANK READS EMPTY RIGHT OUT OF THE GAS STATION. THE GAUGE MOVES UP AND DOWN WITH NO RELIABILITY. THE READING IS FLUCTUATING THE ENTIRE TIME SPENT DRIVING WHEN NOT READING EMPTY. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHIN A MONTH OF THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. *TR

I HAVE 2004 ENVOY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALTERNATOR. STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE ENVOY HAD I REPLACED 3 TIMES THEN STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BACK SEAT WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE NOT ROLLING UP. THEN MY GIRLFRIEND HAD A FLAT ON SIDE OF ROAD AND COULD NOT GET SPARE DOWN I HAD TO GO OUT AND CUT THE CABLE THAT HOLDS IT UP. THAT IS A UNSAFE THING TO DO ON SIDE OF HWY SHOULD NOT TAKE 45 MIN TO GET SPARE DOWN. HEADLIGHTS DIM AND BRIGHTEN GETS DIM ENOUGH THAT MAKES HARD TO SEE. *TR

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER OPERATION. SHOWS VARIOUS SPEEDS WHEN STOPPED. INACCURATE WHEN UNDERWAY. WILL SHOW UP TO 110 MPH DRIVING IN THE CITY. DEALER SAYS INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AT COST OF OVER $400. SAME PROBLEMS ON FULL SIZE GM TRUCKS. FULL SIZE TRUCKS ARE BEING COVERED UNDER SERVICE BULLETIN #07187A, B, & NOW C. SPEEDOMETER REPAIR SHOP SAYS STEPPER MOTORS ARE BAD. SAME PART NUMBER AND REPAIR AS ON FULL SIZE TRUCKS. GM HAS EXCLUDED ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER FROM THIS REPAIR COVERAGE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT IS HAVING A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND THE SENDER UNIT. APPARENTLY NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE ON THEIR GM SUVS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SO CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE MANUFACTURERS FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. *TR

GAS GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED SINCE 2007. HEADLIGHTS AND SOME DASH LIGHTS AS WELL AS EXT TEMP GAUGE SOMETIMES FLICKER. NO POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM DEALER FOR GAS GAUGE. WAS INITIALLY TOLD HEADLIGHTS WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS, A "FEATURE". I ASKED THEM TO DOCUMENT THIS FOR ME, THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. REPLACE BODY CONTROL MODULE, NO CHANGE. SAID IT COULD BE THIS OR THAT, BUT OUT OF WARRANTY AT MY EXPENSE. I TOLD THEM I WOULD PAY FOR IT, BUT IF IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM I WOULD NOT. THEY REFUSED TO WORK FURTHER ON IT. *TR

04/12/2009 THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO 110 MPH WHILE ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH. TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT STAYED AT 110. TURN ON AGAIN AND WHILE DRIVE ABOUT FORTY MPH IT SHOWS 150 ISH. CALL THE DEALER AND REPLACEMENT IS OVER $400 TO REPLACE THE PART (ASSUMING THAT THIS IS THE FIX). EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, THIS IS A RATHER LARGE PROBLEM THAT HAS EFFECTED A LARGE QUANTITY OF GM OWNERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART THAT HAPPENS GENERALLY RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. GO FIGURE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER DEFECT - KNOWN ISSUE BUT NO RECALL; CAN'T TELL HOW FAST OR SLOW I'M GOING, AFTER READING FORUMS, NOT SURE IF OTHER DASHBOARD PROBLEMS - HARD TO DRIVE SAFELY WHEN TRYING NOT TO WATCH THE DASH TO SEE IF SOMETHING OTHER THAN SPEEDOMETER INDICATES A PROBLEM. DISTRACTION TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS - ESPECIALLY AROUND THIS AREA. WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL ZONES? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WITHIN THE LAST 4 OR 5 MONTHS, THE SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2003 ENVOY WILL DISPLAY ERRATIC AND INCORRECT SPEEDS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED UP THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO REGISTER CORRECTLY. AFTER 20 MINUTES OR MORE THE NEEDLE WILL BEGIN TO STICK OR STUTTER. WITHIN 30 MINUTES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL REGISTER 90 MPH WITH AN ACTUAL ROAD SPEED OF 60 TO 65 MPH. TODAY IT EVENTUALLY PEGGED THE NEEDLE AT 120 MPH+. AT A COMPLETE STOP, WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND KEY OUT OF THE SWITCH, THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 60 MPH. WE ARE MAKING CONTACT WITH OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER TO SEE WHAT REPAIRS WILL BE INVOLVED. BASED ON SEVERAL INTERNET FORUM SITES AND CHAT BOARDS, THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY EVIDENTLY DO NOT SEE THIS AS A SAFETY PROBLEM OR POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM. OUR ENVOY HAS LESS THAN 67,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR
