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

FUEL GAUGE IS FAULTY. WILL NOT RECORD EXACT CAPACITY OF FUEL IN TANK. THIS LEAD TO THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS DURING OPERATION. AVOIDED A CRASH, JUST BARELY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE IS INOPERABLE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2004 -2007 GMC ENVOY, CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS AND BUICK RANIER. I KNOW AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS NOT A CLASS ACTION ISSUE BUT TO MANY COMMENTS ARE ON THE INTERNET. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT INTERSECTIONS AND PARKING LOTS WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AFTER BEING STOPPED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE WITH THE GM PRODUCTS. GM SHOULD BE RECALL ALL VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNITS AT NO CHARGE OR A REDUCED CHARGE(COST OF PART OR LABOR WHICHEVER IS THE LEAST COST TO THE OWNER). THE GOVERNMENT HAS BAILED THEM OUT NOW IT IS TIME FOR GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. ALSO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ALSO AND THIS RESULTED IN SPEEDING TICKETS. I HAVE REPLACED WITH A REMANUFACTURED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT THE COST OF $150.00 VS $600.00 WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALER.

I HAVE A 2005 ENVOY AND I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. I FILL UP THE TANK AND IT DOES NOT READ FULL, IT CONTINUES TO READ EMPTY. WHILE DRIVING MY SON BACK TO SCHOOL WITH MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR THE SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS SHOWING THAT I WAS GOING 120 MILES WHEN I WAS ONLY GOING 40 ISH. THE OTHER THING THAT SHOCKS ME IS THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE ISSUES. IT HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

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

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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 GMC ENVOY THE FUEL GAGE READS "LOW FUEL" EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I AM A MOTHER OF FOUR. I AM CONSTANTLY ON THE ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN. I AM VERY AFRAID OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION OR BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR SOMEONE TO 'FIGURE OUT' WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I FEEL GMC SHOULD FIGURE IT OUT AND FIX IT. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE LOTS OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I HAVE TALKED TO MANY OTHER ENVOY OWNERS IN MY TOWN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
