I HAVE 2005 GMC ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY SO I DON'T EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS I DO HAVE. WHEN I PUT GAS IN IT REGISTERS FUEL LEVEL LOW AND ITS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I TRAVEL ALOT WITH WORK AND RUN THE RISK OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND BEING STRANDED,ITS VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN MY 2005 ENVOY MALFUNCTIONED. DOES NOT REGISTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR MONTHS. I NOTICED AN INVESTIGATION WAS OPEN IN JANUARY 2010 BUT WAS HOPING A RECALL WOULD HAVE BEEN FILED BY NOW. I DID RESEARCH AND HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF THE SAME PROBLEM BEING REPORTED ON-LINE. I JUST WANTED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY IS DOING THE SAME THING WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I WILL FILL UP & THE GAS GAUGE WILL TELL ME THERE IS NO GAS IN IT UNTIL SO MANY MILES AND IT STILL WONT TELL ME THERE IS A FULL TANK , IT WILL JUST CREEP UP A LITTLE. JUST FROM READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM FROM 05 & 06 MODELS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PURCHASED A 2006 ENVOY IN AUGUST, 2009, WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2010, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO READ 1/4 TANK FULL. WHEN I LEFT HOME 45 MINS. EARLIER, IT READ 3/4 TANK FULL (I WORK APPROX. 7 MILES FROM HOME). BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK, THE GAUGE READ "E" AND THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I FILL THE TANK, THEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT. GAUGE FLUCTUATION BEGAN AROUND 1/2 TANK FULL. I READ MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2006 ENVOY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, AND ME AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY FROM GMC!!!! MY THING IS WHY WAIT UNTIL SOME UNFORTUNATE EVENT HAPPENS, AS SOMEONE BEING STUCK ON A ROAD OR WORSE, A LIFE BEING LOSS!! *TR

HELLO, WE PURCHASED THE 2006 YUKON DENALI ENVOY WITH LOW MILEAGE BETWEEN 30,000 ' 45,000 MILES. WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO RUN INTO MAJOR ( THROTTLE BODY AND FUEL SENSOR'TANK EMBEDDED) PROBLEMS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS LODGED ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THESE DTC ENGINE TROUBLE CODES (P2135, P0463). THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO GMC TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM, THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME THEY MUST FOLLOW A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW CHART TO RESOLUTION. THE FIRST GM/GMC DEALER STATED THE FIRST STAGE OF THE DIAGNOSTIC FLOWCHART SAYS THE THROTTLE BODY SHOULD BE CLEANED AND NOT REPLACED. THE REASON NOT INITIALLY REPLACED IS BECAUSE THE THROTTLE BODY IS A HIGH PRICED ITEM. WE THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THE 1ST DEALER AT WHICH THE DIAGNOSTICAL FLOWCHART WAS AGAIN USED. ACCORDING TO THE FLOWCHART THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION CALLS FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY. AGAIN IT WAS SHORT LIVED. IF THE FLOWCHART DIAGRAMS ARE OUTDATED AND POORLY DESIGNED, THEY SHOULD BE UPDATED. THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS NEED TO BE BETTER WRITTEN SO UNNECESSARY COSTLY STEPS FOR THE CONSUMER COULD BE AVOIDED. WE THEN TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME EXPLAINING THE REPEAT ENGINE LIGHT CODE OF P2135. THEY RAN THE CODES AGAIN STORED IN MEMORY AND RETRIEVED THE SAME P2135 CODE I RETRIEVED. THE SECOND DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ONLY FOR THE PROBLEM TO RESURFACE. AFTER SHARING WITH THEM THE RESOLUTION I RETRIEVED FROM THE INTERNET, ( WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE THROTTLE BODY ), EVENTUALLY THE GM ASE TECHNICIAN CORRECT THE WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM. RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE MADE TO ALL DEALERSHIPS INCLUDING GM/GMC DEMANDING THAT REGIONAL CHRONIC TROUBLE GROUPS ( COUNTY SPECIFIC) BE ESTABLISHED TO COMBAT THESE EXTREME AUTOMOTIVE EXPENSES. THESE VEHICLES HAVING CONSISTENT HIGH PART REPLACEMENTS IS THE REAL GAUGE THAT SUBSTANTIATES AND WARRANT A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

STRONG SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHEN CODE IS CHECKED... STATES SMALL EMISSION LEAK PRESENT. UPON DOING A LITTLE WEB RESEARCH FIND IT TO BE CAUSED BY A LEAKING FUEL TANK. APPEARS TO HAVE A RECALL ON TANK FOR XL MODEL WHICH INTURN IS THE SAME TANK BUT THE SLE MODEL IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. IF ORIGINAL RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR SAFETY CONCERN WHY NOT COMPLY FOR ALL MODELS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY, IN JULY 2010 MY VEHICLE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER I FILLED MY TANK, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS GLOWING AND THE BELL WAS SOUNDING AS IF I WAS ON EMPTY IN AUGUST THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR OFF AND ON, IN SEPTEMBER THE PROBLEM SEEM TO GET WORSE. NOW IN OCTOBER I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH GAS IN ACTUALLY IN MY GAS TANK, THE LIGHT CONSTANTLY GLOWS AND THE BELLS CONSTANTLY SOUNDS AS IF I AM ON E. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AS WELL AS FOSTER CHILDREN I DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEM IN DANGER BUT I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT GMC NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. ROUGHLY 10% OF THE TIME, THE GAUGE WILL STOP WORKING COMPLETELY. NOW, THE RPM GAUGE HAS ALSO BEGIN ACTING ERRATICALLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SUPPORT, AND THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER, WHO WILL CHARGE ME $79 SIMPLY TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM, FOLLOWED BY A LIKELY $600 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH OF "2004 GMC ENVOY XUV SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS" RETURNED 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF HITS, SO IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING INTO THE SITUATION WITH GM DEALERS THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SIERRA'S AND YUKONS WHICH HAVE THE SAME CLUSTER AS MY VEHICLE BUT GM REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THE DEFECT ON THE ENVOYS. PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED YET ON MY VEHICLE HOPING THAT GM WILL WAKE UP AND REALIZE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ENVOYS AND THAT IT REQUIRES ATTENTION. BELOW IS JUST ONE OF MANY LINKS WHICH HIGHLIGHT THE ISSUE MANY GMC OWNERS ARE FACING: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2004/GMC/ENVOY/DIGITAL+INSTRUMENT+PANEL. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. GAS FUMES WERE NOTICED COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC GAS TANK NEAR THE FILLER NECK. WAS TOLD THAT GM HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS BUT NO RECALLS OR REPAIR BULLETINS. THEREFORE, SINCE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1350.00 FOR REPAIRS. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE PLASTIC GAS TANKS AND REPLACING THEM AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE! NOTE: VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OR USED FOR OFF-ROAD DRIVING OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. GAS TANK SHOULD NOT HAVE CRACKED. ALSO, I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE SO IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER FAMILY. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY 6-CYL 2WD WITH ~172,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DUE TO EVAP LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. SMOKE CHECK AT THE MECHANICS RESULTED IN VISIBLE SMOKE EXITING THE FILLER NECK OF THE FUEL TANK (NOT THE FILLER NECK FROM THE GAS LINE). NEW FUEL TANK (DEALER PART ONLY!) IS ~$900 FROM DEALER TO DEALER. PLUS LABOR. *TR
