MY PROBLEM IS COVERED UNDER RECALL 14291 BUT MY YEAR ISN'T INCLUDED. DESPITE NUMEROUS BULB REPLACEMENTS AND MECHANIC VISITS, MY VEHICLE'S LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK. I'VE CONTACTED GM, BUT THEY OFFERED NO SOLUTION THAT'S AFFORDABLE. I HAVE NO HEADLIGHT OTHER THAN HIGH-BEAMS. PLEASE HELP AND MAKE GM INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM ON ALL THEIR 2005 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES.

STALLING OUT IN INTERSECTION,FUEL GAGE AND SPEED ODOMETER ,AIR BAGS DEFAULTING,SHACKING IN FRONT END , WHEN DRIVING. VERRY DANGEROUS.

I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ME HAVING AN ACCIDENT OR HITTING ANYTHING THE SEAT BELT CAME LOOSE AND HIT MY DAUGHTER BREAKING HER GLASSES. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL JUST A POP AND ALL CAME OUT. MY HEADLINER IS TORN.

THE REAR WINDOW TO OUR 2005 GMC ENVOY XL SHATTERED WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE REAR HATCH. THE WINDOW WAS FROZEN FROM THE COLD WEATHER AND WHEN IT FLEXED, IT SHATTERED EVERYWHERE.

I HAD TROUBLE WITH THE GAUGE THAT SHOWS OVERHEATING.I TOOK THE CAR IN TO PUT IN A THERMOSTAT THINKING IT WAS THE PROBLEM,BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THAT MY CLUSTER WAS BAD AND THE GAUGES WERE MESSED UP.I PAID $392.00 FOR THE CLUSTER AND $100.00 FOR LABOR.I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 119,000 MILES ON IT ON 6/20/2011 AND ON 2/23/2013 I HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED WITH MILEAGE OF 132,356. I PUT ON NEW BRAKES AT THIS TIME SINCE THE HAD A HABIT OF GRABBING AND MAKING ME SLIDE AND JERK TO A STOP.THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE NOW IS THE THE DOOR LOCKS MESS UP ONCE IN AWHILE BUT OTHER THAN THAT I TAKE MY ENVOY IN EVERY 4000 MILES FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND A CHECK UP IT IS NOW 12/15/2015 AND I ONLY HAVE 142,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS STILL RUNNING OK.I KEEP CHECKING ONCE A MONTH FOR RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE SOMETIMES A DOME LIGHT WILL COME ON .BUT NOT OFTEN.MY ENVOY HAS NOT RUST AND THE INTERIOR IS IN AS GOOD AS IT WAS WHEN I PURCHASED IT FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

THE VERY SAME THING DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 14V755000, GM SAFETY RECALL 14291, BEGAN HAPPENING TO MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL. MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED OFF AND ON. IN TIME, MY HEADLIGHTS STAYED OFF LONGER AND LONGER. ONLY THE LOW BEAMS AND THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SEEMED TO BE AFFECTED. I COULD FIND NO DISCERNIBLE REASON OR CONNECTION TO ANY ACTION OR SETTING ON THE CAR. WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT AND REMAIN OFF FOR MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, SO I QUIT DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO A GM SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. THE RECALL 14291 LETTER POSTED AT HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM471691/RIONL-14V755-2465.PDF DESCRIBES MY SAFETY SITUATION EXACTLY. SERVICE MANAGER SAID MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR

THE OIL GAUGE WENT OUT FIRST AND THE DEALER STATED THE OIL SENDING UNIT NEED TO BE REPLACE AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER 300. 00 DOLLARS, THEN NEXT THE ENGINE COOLANT GAUGE STARTING GOING CRAZY. I TOOK MY CAR BACK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER NEEDS REPLACING. I WENT BACK TO HAVE MY ENGINE COOLANT GAUGE LOOK AT BY THE DEALER BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH MY 4 YEAR TODDLER IN THE CAR AND PAID FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE ENGINE COOLANT THERMOSTAT BASED ON THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. STILL MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS PEGGED OUT AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE HAS COMPLETELY STOP WORKING, SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER NEED TO BE REPLACE AND THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE TOO. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $570.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE BY ITSELF. I AM VERY UPSET AFTER BEING QUOTED AND TOLD THE FIRST TIME BY THE DEALER THAT THEY COULD FIX THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AT ONE PRICE AND NOW TELL ME THAT WITHOUT REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FOR THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE OIL GAUGE. I NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE IN WHICH TO TAKE MY PRESCHOOL CHILD BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL AND MANY DAYS OTHER DRIVES FROM BEHIND HAVE BLOWN THEIR HORN AT ME DUE TO GOING TO SLOW BECAUSE I AM UNSURE WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. I WAS USING THE RPM GAUGE TO HELP OUT BUT IT H

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY XL 370. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FRACTURED IGNITION SWITCH AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,931. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AT VARIOUS SPEEDS INCLUDING AT REST, INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS FAILED AND THEN COME BACK UP AFTER CUTTING TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING IT. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES ARE GREATLY INACCURATE. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS ALWAYS SHOWING HOT. CONCERNING!!! *TR

THIS PIECE OF CRAP VEHICLE IN WHICH THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS COMPLETELY FAILED STARTING WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS FAILURE THEN LED TO THE FAILURE OF ALL THE GAUGES MINUS AS OF RIGHT NOW THE SPEEDOMETER. THE TAC WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. GMC NOW HAS WENT BACK AND WANTS TO "FIX" THE SENDING UNIT ONLY TO THE GAS TANK (GEE....THANKS FOR THE RUSH GM CONSIDERING THIS IS A 2005 VEHICLE AND THE YEAR IS NOW 2013...AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING FOR DARN CLOSE TO 10 YEARS ABOUT THEM NOW!! NICE JOB STEPPING UP!!).....THUS CORRECTING THE GAS GAUGE ..WE HOPE (WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD WILL PROBABLY LAST FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR...IF WE ARE LUCKY....OH JOY FOR US!!!) YEA...THANKS GM...I NOW KNOW I WILL HAVE 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN MY FREAKIN VEHICLE OVERHEATS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY SINCE THE REST OF THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE WILL NOT BACK YOUR G.D. PRODUCTS. MAYBE IF WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH IT WILL OVERHEAT AND MELT TO THE GROUND AND WE WILL BE RID OF THIS PIECE OF CRAP. NO WONDER EVERYONE IS GOING TO FOREIGN CARS...WHY BUY THESE PIECE OF [XXX]. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER GMC AS LONG AS I BREATH AIR AS SOON AS I AM ABLE TO EITHER SELL, TRADE OR HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL COME AND STEAL IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK OR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 3 TO 4 YEARS THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT DOESN'T. THE GAS GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY AND THE OIL PRESSURE READS ABOVE 80. THEY SENT ME A LETTER YESTERDAY TO SAY THEY ARE NOW FIXING THE FUEL GAUGE IF YOU HAVE LESS THEN 120,000 MILES BUT I HAVE MORE THEN THAT NOW IF THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM YEARS AGO WHEN THEY KNEW ABOUT IT I WOULD HAVE BEEN OK. THEY STILL ARE NOT FIXING THE SPEEDOMETER AND I THINK THAT IS MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE THEN THE GAS GAUGE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR 2005 ENVOY XL DENALI. 70153 MILES. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY UNTIL ABOUT AN EIGHTH OF A TANK HAS BEEN USED THEN THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS JUST FINE. HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL FOR APPX. TEN MINUTES TO GET THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO STOP ILLUMINATING. OCCURS EVERYTIME I FILL THE VEHICLE. IT CAUSES AN INACCURATE FUEL READING. TURNING IN TO DEALER TOMORROW 06-19-2013 FOR REPAIRS. CODE PRODUCED P0463. *TR

I FILLED MY TANK AT A GAS STATION AND WHEN LEAVING THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED DOWN TO "E" AND LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER 10-15 SECONDS THE FUEL GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY TO "FULL". A FEW MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, AND HAS CONTINUED. *TR

WE STARTED NOTICING AFTER A FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION THE GAS GAUGE STILL SHOWED EMPTY. THE GAUGE TOOK OVER AN HOUR OF DRIVING TO MOVE UP TO FULL. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK LAST WEEK THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS AND STALLED. WE ADDED HALF A TANK, BUT THE GAUGE STILL SHOWED EMPTY THE NEXT FEW TIMES IT WAS DRIVEN SOMEWHERE. LAST WEEKEND I FILLED UP AGAIN AND THE GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY STILL WITH WARNING INDICATOR ON. AGAIN IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR OF DRIVING FOR THE GAUGE TO REGISTER THE TANK EVEN 3/4 FULL. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE EVENING, THE SPEEDOMETER BECAME "STUCK" AT ABOUT 30 MPH. WE PULLED OFF AT A REST STOP AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, HOPING THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD RESET ITSELF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER SAT AT 60 MPH, EVEN THOUGH WE WERE STILL SITTING AT THE REST STOP--NOT MOVING. WE TRIED TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THIS TIME WHEN WE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE "STUCK" AT OVER 120 MPH--AGAIN WE WERE NOT MOVING. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STAYED PAST THE 120 MPH MARK FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP HOME. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO FOLLOW SOME FRIENDS HOME. A FEW DAYS LATER, WE TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC. HE INDICATED THAT HE HAD SEEN THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM BEFORE WITH OTHER GMCS AND HE THEN REPLACED THE "INSTRUMENT CLUSTER" IN OUR VEHICLE. WE ALSO DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL GMC MODELS HAD BEEN RECALLED DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, BUT THE RECALLS DID NOT APPEAR TO INCLUDE THE 2005 GMC ENVOY. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING. I CAN NO LONGER JUDGE SPEED. TIRES CRACKED AND DRY ROTTED ON SIDEWALLS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT EARLY MILEAGE. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING ON LEVEL 5, WOULD WORK ON LEVEL 1-4, LEVEL 5 WOULD KEEP TURNING OFF. SHORTLY AFTER THIS WITHIN THE SAME DAY I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING COMING THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. MECHANICS NOTED AND SHOWED ME THAT THE RESISTOR PLUGS ON THE BACK HAD BURNED AND MELTED TOGETHER, THAT'S WHAT WAS CAUSING THE BURNING SMELL. NEEDED A NEW RESISTOR, PIG TAIL, AND BLOWER. ALSO MY FUEL GAUGE AND RPM ARE BROKE, HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. *TR

THE SPEED CONTROL NEEDLE WAS STUCK BETWEEN 60-120MPH ON 05-05-2012. NOW 05-09-2012 THE SPEED CONTROL NEEDLE IS STUCK AT 120MPH AND DOES NOT RETURN TO 0MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 65,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR PANEL CONTROL PROBLEMS (AIR BAG) WHICH IS STILL NOT FIXED EXTENDED WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. I WILL FILL UP THE TANK AND TURN ON THE CAR AND IT READS LOW FUEL AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. THEN I CAN BE DRIVING AND IT WILL JUMP UP TO PAST 1/4 TANK THEN SLOWLY GO DOWN TO E AND READ LOW FUEL.

THE FUEL SENSOR ON MY VEHICLE SWINGS WILDLY FROM EMPTY TO FULL EVEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK HAS JUST BEEN FILLED. THIS RESULTS IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO CONSTANTLY BE ON. I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR DUE TO THE FAULTY SENSOR. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR YEARS. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST ONLY IF I TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER AND THAT MY PORTION OF THE COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $500 - $600 DOLLARS. THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE COST IF I TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN BY GM FOR YEARS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A COMPLETE RECALL TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PART(S). *TR

AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK, SENSOR WENT TO EMPTY IMEDIATELY. CHIMES ACTIVATE AND FUEL GAUAGE READS EMPTY.

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TIME IT IS NOT COVERED. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TRUCK TO THE SHOP TWICE TO WORK ON THE DASH BOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.(OIL, BATTERY , FUEL). *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING IN MY 2005 ENVOY AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF FUEL AFTER FILL THE TANK FULL. I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL COVER UP TO 50% OF REPAIR AS MY WARRANT HAS EXPIRED. THE PROBLEM WITH ONLY COVERING 50% IS PAYING WITH FOR MY HALF OF THE REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO COME UP WITH APPROXIMATELY THE $200 FOR THE REPAIR THEREFORE UNABLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I SPOKE WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT WAS MY OPTION. WHEN I ASKED WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM THEY INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE NHTSA. MY CONCERN IS THAT I LIVE IN A STATE WITH COLD WEATHER THAT REQUIRES THAT CAR TO WARM UP PRIOR TO DRIVING. SO I WAS KEEPING TRACK OF MY MILEAGE KNOWING WHEN I NEEDED TO FILL UP WITH GAS. ALTHOUGH, THIS WILL NOT BE ACCURATE IN WINTER AND AFRAID THAT MY SPOUSE (PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE) WILL GET STRANDED ON THE ROAD. I HOPE IF/WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS NOT DURING A SNOW STORM WHERE AN AUTO ACCIDENT WILL THEN BECOME LIKELY. WHEN TALKING TO GM ALONG WITH THE FUEL SENSOR I EXPRESSES CONCERNS ABOUT OTHER ISSUES THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING. FOR EXAMPLE, MY LICENSE PLATE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING, CHANGED THE BULB AND CHECKED THE FUSES AND STILL DOES NOT WORK; ALONG WITH HEAT ISSUES AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE IN FOR DIAGNOSIS. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO REPRESENT TRUE VEHICLE SPEED. USING A GPS WE CAN MONITOR THE INACCURACY IN THE GAUGE READING. THE SPEEDOMETER REFLECTS A SPEED OF 25 WHEN ACTUAL SPEED IS 45. THIS BECOMES WORSE AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AS THE SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY FAILS TO REGISTER SPEED. AN IDENTICAL ISSUE WAS PRESENT ON A 2003 CHEVROLET TRUCK WE OWN WHICH WAS REPAIRED BY GM UNDER AN IN-HOUSE PROGRAM RESULTING FROM A LAWSUIT. GM HAS DECLINED TO REPAIR THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. IF A DRIVER CANNOT ACCURATELY DETERMINE HIS/HER SPEED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT THE POSSIBILITY FOR SAFETY RELATED INSTANCES ARE INCREASED FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. *TR

LEFT REAR DOOR FLEW OPEN GOING AROUND CORNER. COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO LATCH. REMOVED LATCH ASSEMBLY AND ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN. TOO MUCH RUST AND CORROSION. SOME OF THE DEBRIS LOOKS LIKE IT CAME FROM THE STRIKER. HAD SAME TROUBLE WITH RIGHT REAR DOOR AT 80,000 MILES. DISASSEMBLED AND CLEANED. WORKS FOR A WHILE. SOME ONE GOING TO FALL OUT OF ONE OF THESE SUV'S. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS CRACK AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. *TR

FUEL SENSOR, LOCATED IN GAS TANK, HAS FAILED. NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK, BE IT FULL, HALF FULL, OR LESS, THE SENSOR BELL RINGS AND THE GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. GMC SHOULD RECALL, AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I THOUGHT I HAD MORE FUEL BUT RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR ROAD, THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT. GMC HAS ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS AGREED TO PAY 50% OF REPAIRS, BUT THIS IS ONLY DONE UNDER A VEHICLE WARRANTY EXTENSION, NOT RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READINGS ARE INACCURATE, DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE GAUGING SYSTEM IN THE TANK AT CONSUMERS COST. I BELIEVE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A WARRANTIED ITEM. *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY SL ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES. I EXPERIENCED DASH ELECTRONICS CONCERNING WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS ("POWER TRAIN COOLOING FAN AT 46,000 MILES") AND GAS TANK LEVEL GAUAGE STOPPED WORKING AT 40,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE RELATED TO AN OVERALL SENSOR PROBLEM AND WILL EFFECT THE HEADLIGHTS AND OTHER SAFETY RELATED ISSUES. *TT

FILLED CAR UP WITH GAS AND LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE THEN LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY XL 370. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE TANK, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED THROUGH EMAIL AND HAD NOT YET REPLIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 09/29/2011 *LN *TR

SMELL OF EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING. NOTICED ENGINE MADE A TICKING SOUND WHICH WENT AWAY AFTER ENGINE GOT WARM. BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO A SERVICE CENTER AND A DIAGNOSIS OF A CRACKED EXHAUST WAS MADE. HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER AND RNVOY OWNERS COMPLAINTS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IN THE CAB I AM ENTERING THIS INTO THE SAFETY COMPLAINT DATABASE. *TT

FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. VEHICLE READS FULL ONE MINUTE AND EMPTY THE NEXT. VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS FIXED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS OCCURRED I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND THAT GMC IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11014 AS PART OF MY COMPLAINT. *KB

IN 2008, OUR VEHICLE'S GAS GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE ON THE AMOUNT OF GAS. WE WOULD FILL IT UP AND THE GAUGE WOULD SHOW FULL BUT AS SOON AS WE WOULD START DRIVING WOULD DROP DOWN TO EMPTY AND EVENTUALLY AS OF TODAY WHEN WE FILL OUT VEHICLE UP ALL THE WAY, THE GUAGE ONLY SHOWS LESS THAN A 1/4 FULL THEN DROPS TO EMPTY. AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND THE GAUGE SHOWING FULL AND DROPPING TO 1/4 FULL THEN I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING MY GMC ENVOY TO SHUT DOWN AND MY STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITH MUCH FORCE TO THE WHEEL. AS OF TODAY, OUR GAUGE NO LONGER RISES TO SHOW ANY SORT OF AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. WE USE THE GAS USED ON THE DASH TO KEEP TRACK OR MILEAGE TO TRACK WHEN WE NEED TO FILL UP AND MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET DOWN TO CLOSE TO EMPTY. WE HAVE NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE WE HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MADE BY GMC. I HAVE CALLED GMC AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE AND TO MY SURPRISE NONE! I BELIEVE GMC NEEDS TO CORRECT THEIR MANUFACTURER DEFECT! *TR

I FILLED UP MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL SLT WHEN IT HAD 71,000 MILES. I HAD NO PREVIOUS FUEL GAUGE ISSUES. STARTED THE VEHICLE AND FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAD FILLED IT COMPLETELY. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR SO HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR THE PAST MONTH AND THIS HAS BEEN A DAILY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL AND WILL STICK ON EMPTY AND THE BELL CHIMES CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN I JUST FILLED IT UP. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THERE EXCEPT TO MONITOR MILES DRIVEN AND FILL IT BACK UP MORE FREQUENTLY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF MY CALCULATIONS ARE INCORRECT AND MY VEHICLE STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND AM AFRAID OF A STALL HAPPENING RESULTING IN A CRASH. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THERE. AGAIN...THE GAUGE WILL GO BACK AND FORTH AS I AM DRIVING. I CAN START A DRIVE KNOWING IT IS FULL BUT THE GAUGE WILL SAY 1/4 TANK AND IT WILL JUMP ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO FULL AND THEN DOWN TO EMPTY WHICH CAUSES THE LOW FUEL SIGNAL AND BEEP TO GO OFF. THIS HAPPENS DAILY. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND AM SEEING ALOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM GMC ENVOY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND GM DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GENERAL MOTORS. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE TO GET GM'S ATTENTION ON THIS ISSUE! *TR

PROBLEM WITH SEVERE FLUCTUATIONS OF FUEL GAUGE. RESEARCH SHOWS YOUR ONGOING INVESTIGATION # IS DP10001. UPON FILLING TANK TO APROX. TANK THE GAUGE SUDDENLY STARTED GOING WILD AND WITHIN 1 MILE OF DRIVING THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" APPEARED. AFTER INVESTIGATING NUMEROUS ON-LINE RESOURCES IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY LIMITED TO THIS VEHICLE BUT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE GM LINEUP. DEALERSHIP REPAIR COSTS ARE ESTIMATED IN THE $800.00 TO $1000.00 RANGE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A PROBLEM THAT GM KNOWS TO EXIST YET REFUSES TO TAKE ANY UNILATERAL ACTION ON. *KB

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE GAS GAUGE HAD STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT 60,000 MILES. IT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AT 77,000 TO 80,000 MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2008 WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES. MY JOB HAS ME ON THE HIGHWAY A LOT. I TRIED TO ESTIMATE THE MILES. BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON HIGHWAY 820 AT 260 MILES AFTER FILLING UP. I RAN OUT ON HIGHWAY 30 AT 320 MILES. IN THE COUNTRY ON PRIVATE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY WITH NO ONE TO BE FOUND AT 150 MILES, EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILLED THE CAR UP WITH GAS BEFORE RESETTING THE FUEL GAUGE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. I CAN NOT TRADE THE CAR IN. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER TWITH THREE CHILDREN THAT HAS BEEN BLESSED SO FAR TO RUN OUT WITH OUT THEM IN THE CAR. I DID REALIZE SO MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS AND WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN VEHICLE IS FILLED TO FULL TANK LEVEL, THERE IS A CLICK SOUND AND THE GAUGE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE EMPTY POSITION, THEN WARNING LIGHT AND VERY LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS THE 2ND GM VEHICLE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH. ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES EVERYTHING STARTS TO GO WRONG SUCH AS FUEL PUMP/SENSOR, RADIATOR/FAN MOTOR, A/C, FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS. THE MORE I TRY TO MAINTAIN THESE VEHICLES THE MORE PROBLEMS. I WILL PURCHASE A HONDA, NISSAN, TOYOTA NEXT TIME. *TR

OUR SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2005 ENVOY HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. IT EITHER JUST STAYS AT ZERO, OR SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK FOR 10-20 MINUTES AND THEN IT JUST STARTS GOING DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN UNTIL IT HITS ZERO. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. WE HAVEN'T REPLACED IT YET. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY FUEL GAUGE IN ACCURATE READING. VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE READING OVER 1/4 TANK OF FUEL TRAVELING DOWN FREEWAY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL IN CENTER LANE LOSS OF POWER STEERING SYSTEM AND POWER BRAKES. WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING STALLING OUT ON THE ROAD. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NEVER READS CORRECTLY EVEN AFTER TANK IS FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T REGISTER ANYMORE THAN HALF A TANK WHEN MOVING, ANYTIME VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. ALSO GAUGE NEVER READS THE SAME AT ANY TIME VERY INCONSISTENT. *TR
