TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN OCTOBER 2009, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD "FLUTTER" AND REGISTER THAT IT WAS EMPTY WHEN HE ADDED GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK. AFTER CONSUMING FIVE TO SEVEN GALLONS OF FUEL, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD BEGIN WORKING NORMAL UNTIL THE IT WAS TIME TO ADD THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED AND THE HEATER WOULD BLOW COLD AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND HOT AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED AND THE HEATER WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE HEATER STILL DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED TO REFLECT OFF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH HINDERED HIS DRIVING ABILITIES. WHENEVER IT RAINED, SNOWED OR WAS FOGGY OUTSIDE, THE HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WOULD ALSO REFLECT OF THE WIMDSHEILD AND BLIND HIM WHILE HE WAS DRIVING. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE HIGHBEAMS WERE SUPPLIED WITH BRIGHTER BULBS. WHEN HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, HE WAS TOLD THAT WHAT HE WAS EXPERIENCING WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT FEEL THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS A PART OF THE PROBLEM; INSTEAD, HE FELT THAT THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,700. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,800.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DRIVING TO WORK AT 5 AM ABOUT 3/4 OF MILE FROM HOME, AUTO SLOWED, HEADLIGHTS DEEMED SLIGHTLY, RPM'S FELL. BARELY ABLE TO COAST AUTO TO SIDE OF ROAD. CALL FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. WHILE TALKING TO AGENT I OPEN DOOR AND SMELLED GASOLINE. AGENT INFORMED ME TO CALL FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE AUTO SAFE TO MOVE. FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND SAID FUEL WAS STILL DRIPPING FROM AUTO, BUT THEY DID SPREAD SOMETHING ON FUEL AND WAITED UNTIL ROLLBACK REMOVED AUTO. AUTO WAS TAKEN TO GM DEALER FOR REPAIRS. WHEN NOTIFIED OF REPAIR COMPLETION I WENT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME I MUST HAVE RAN OVER SOMETHING THAT PULLED FUEL LINE OFF, AND THAT IT WAS A 1 IN A MILLION EVENT. I DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING SO I DID NOT BELIEVE THIS STATEMENT. I RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED BECAUSE ON THE REPAIR TICKET IT STATES CUSTOMER STATES GAS LEAKING AS SOON AS THE KEY TURNED WAS ON, CHECKED AND FOUND QUICK CONNECT LINE PULLED APART IN FRONT OF FUEL TANK. RECONNECTED LINE ALL CHECKS GOOD AT THIS TIME. I DID NOT STATE FUEL WAS LEAKING AS SOON AS KEY WAS TURNED ON. I WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST UNABLE TO GET AUTO TO ROADSIDE. VERY DANGEROUS AND IF THE ONLY REPAIR WAS TO RECONNECT A LINE THAT HAD FALLEN OFF, IT SEEMS VERY LIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IT SEEMS THAT MY VEHICLES FUEL SENDING UNIT IS DEFECTIVE AFTER ONLY 40,000 MILES AND THROUGH FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS LINE OF VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL COST OVER 800.00 TO REPAIR THIS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS MOST OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE QUITE UPSET THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART TO BE REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 GMC ENVOY - FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. SINCE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS REMAINING, I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING A COUPLE ON THE INTERSTATE. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND OCTOBER OF 2008, BUT COSTS ALMOST $700 TO FIX, STARTED AT 37500 MILES SO IT WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF POSTINGS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM STATING IT'S A DEFECT WITH THE FUEL PUMP. *TR
