2006 GMC Envoy XL complaints

APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED READING INACCURATELY AND SHOWING EITHER A FULL TANK OR AN EMPTY TANK. FINALLY IT JUST WENT TO THE EMPTY SIDE OF THE GAUGE. I USED THE ODOMETER TO ESTIMATE GAS USAGE AND NEVER LET IT GO OVER 300 MILES W/O A FILL UP. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, THE REPAIR SHOP DROPPED THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, THE BILL WAS APPROXIMATELY $400.00. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY WHEN SHE REFUELED THE FUEL TANK TO CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND ADVISED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 07/26/11 *BF UPDATED 08/03/11

AFTER EXITING INTERSTATE AND PULLING INTO PARKING LOT OF OUR CHILD CARE PROVIDER, CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND CAME TO A STOP. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS APPROX 1/4 TANK OF GAS. WALKED TO GAS STATION WITH MY TWO CHILDREN TO BUY A GAS CAN AND FILL TANK UP. GAS GAUGE HAS CONTINUED TO BE INACCURATE. WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL, THE "LOW GAS LIGHT" TURNS ON. AFTER DRIVING APPROX 50 MILES, LIGHT GOES OFF AND GAUGE INDICATED CAR HAS APPROX 3/4 TANK, ALTHOUGH THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 3/4 TANK FULL AND 1/4 TANK FULL. WE NOW HAVE TO SET THE "TRIP" BUTTON TO 0 EVERY TIME WE FILL THE ENVOY WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AND WE REFILL WHEN MILAGE IS AT APPROX 250 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT WE HAVE ADDED 23 GALLONS OF GAS (ALMOST A COMPLETELY EMPTY TANK) AND GAS GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS STILL A 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE GAS GAUGE FIXED AT THIS TIME. HAVE BEEN QUOTED BY ONE GMC DEALER SHIP THAT COST WOULD BE $600-800.

TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER FILLING UP MY 2006 ENVOY XL WITH GAS, A PREVIOUSLY NORMALLY FUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY READ EMPTY AND THE AUDIBLE WARNING KEPT SOUNDING THOUGH I KNEW IT HAD A FULL TANK. THE GAUGE WOULD START TO GO UP, BUT THEN WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, IT WOULD READ EMPTY AGAIN. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE TANK. A TRIP TO THE DEALER SHOWED THAT I HAD A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. THEY SAID THAT IF I DROVE IT AROUND LIKE THAT THE VEHICLE COULD SUDDENLY STALL. I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL SENSOR REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY RIGHT AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED. THE GAUGE WILL THEN SLOWLY GO UP, THEN GO UP AND DOWN RANDOMLY, RESULTING IN NEVER KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS A REAL POSSIBILITY AT ANY TIME. THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE SENDING UNIT, BUT NO REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE YET. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IS READING EMPTY ALTHOUGH JUST FILLED WITH GAS. IT STARTED FLUCTUATING BUT NOW IT JUST REMAINS ON EMPTY DESPITE GAS TANK BEING FULL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS CHANGED FREE OF CHANGE BECAUSE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE WITH THE GAS GAUGE OF THIS CAR AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD OF NOT KNOWING WHEN YOU NEED TO REFILL, VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY THREE LITTLE CHILDREN IN IT AND COSTLY REPAIRS. GMC MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTED ACTING UP AND GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY. WITHIN DAYS IT COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING AND NOW SHOWS EMPTY WHEN FULL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. *TR

SUMMARY: I REQUEST THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2006 GMC ENVOY XL VEHICLES. THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS ALMOST HAPPENED TO ME ON NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I STILL HAD A FEW GALLONS LEFT AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF AND THEN GOING BACK TO 1/4 FULL. *TR

HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPAIRED THREE TIMES. FIRST TIME 65,000 MILES BECAUSE OF NOISE. SECOND TIME VOLTAGE REGULATOR THIRD TIME REAR BEARING. HAD TO HAVE THE ONBOARD COMPUTER REPLACE AT 90,000 MILES VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED. *TR

GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ENGINE GAS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. GAS CAP INDICATOR IS ON AND OFF. CHANGED ON 3RD GAS CAP. *TR

FUEL METER REPEATEDLY INCORRECT ON 2006 GMC ENVOY. AFTER FILLING THE CAR, THE FUEL LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE GAS METER WILL READ EMPTY. DRIVING WILL CAUSE THE GAS METER TO BOUNCE BETWEEN 0 - FULL SPORADICALLY - SOMETIMES STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE, AT 1/4, 3/4, 1/2 TANK. ALWAYS INCORRECT. VERY DANGEROUS. NO IDEA WHERE MY FUEL LEVEL IS AT ANY TIME. *TR

OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY WITH 40,000 MILES .THE SENDING UNIT IN FUEL TANK IS FAULTY. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK IT WILL SAY FULL AND THEN IT WILL READ EMPTY. IT GOES UP AND DOWN BUT IT USUALLY READS EMPTY AND IS NEVER CORRECT. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY XL GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER FILLING, THEN SLOWLY MOVES UP AFTER DRIVING BUT WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE PRESSURE UNTIL IT READS EMPTY AND THE LIGHT IS ON, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THERE WAS A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT WOULD RESET TO THE ACTUAL READING WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT WOULD STAY ON THE ACTUAL READING AND THEN A MINUTE LATER THE DIAL WOULD GO DOWN TO EMPTY. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS FOR A MONTH. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. IT SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TANK AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE TO DO QUITE A BIT OF TRAVELING DUE TO MY NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT AND FIND IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. CURRENTLY, I HAVE 81,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. AFTER SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE OR WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. $800 IS EXPENSIVE FOR ANY FAMILY WHO HAS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO LACK OF GASOLINE FUEL DESPITE THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN FUEL LEVELS. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THERE TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000. UPDTATED 2/17/11 *CN UPDATED 02/23/11

FUEL TANK GAUGE SENSOR DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. THIS DEFECT COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND BEING STRANDED OR MAY EVEN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL OR NOT START AT ALL. *TR

FAULTY FUEL TANK SENSOR IN MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. FILLED MY TRUCK UP ONLY FOR THE GAS GAUGE TO READ EMPTY. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON! TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE FUEL TANK SENSOR FAILED AND HE NOTED IT A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE ENVOY. ITS COSTING ME 800.00 TO FIX THIS. I HAVE DONE SOME WEB RESEARCH AND IT INDEED LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING. GM SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THEM REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY OR NOT? *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY XL - FUEL GAGE NOT FUNCTIONING OCCASIONALLY READS EMPTY WITH SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. APPEARS COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT WARNING CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY. WITH NUMEROUS FILED COMPLAINTS, UNFAVORABLE BLOGS DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE AND GM DEALERS / SERVICE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IT IS TIME FOR A REPAIR OF THIS MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM. *TR

GAS GUAGE READS EMPTY, EVEN AFTER FILLING TANK. IT SOMETIMES FLUCTUATES, BUT RETURNS TO EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON AND ALARM SOUNDING. THIS IS A 2006 ENVOY XL WITH 50,000 MILES. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND BEING SUBSEQUENTLY IMPACTED FROM THE REAR, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE READ OVER 400 COMPLAINTS ONLINE, AFFECTING MANY VEHICLE YEARS AND MODELS. WHEN WILL ACTION BE TAKEN TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE UNITS? AFTER BAILING OUT GM WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS, I WOULD EXPECT THAT GM WOULD FOLLOW THE CORRECT ETHICAL COURSE AND BOTH REDESIGN AND REPLACE THE UNIT IN ALL THE VEHICLE YEARS AFFECTED; I BELIEVE AN EXISTING COMPLAINT ALREADY EXISTS, COMPLAINT(DP10001)

FILLED UP 06 GMC ENVOY WITH GASOLINE AND GAS GAUGE NEVER MADE IT TO THE FILL LINE. NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT IS NOW ON.VERY CONCERNED WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY GMC. ALL I DRIVE IS GMC VEHICLES AND GMC SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. THIS MAY RESULT IN VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL,STALL, BEING REAR ENDED OR STRANDED IN HARSH WINTER CONDITIONS. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY XL --SAME PROBLEM HERE. IT STARTED ACTING UP JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT (JUST UNDER 40,000 MILES)! CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS "ON" FILL UP TANK WRITE DOWN MILEAGE IS GETTING OLD. TIME FOR OUR STIMULUS FROM GM! DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THE DEFECTIVE SENSORS. FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY NOW --COULD RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE ANYTIME/ANYWHERE. *TR

AFTER BAILING OUT GM WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS, I WOULD EXPECT THAT GM WOULD FOLLOW THE CORRECT ETHICAL COURSE AND BOTH REDESIGN AND REPLACE THE UNIT IN ALL THE VEHICLE YEARS AFFECTED; OR IS THIS A COST-BENEFIT ISSUE FOR THE COMPANY? WITH SO MANY YEARS AND MODELS AFFECTED, WOULD IT BE CHEAPER TO PAY TO SETTLE ANY INJURY OR DEATH RELATED LAWSUITS VERSUS THE COST OF REDESIGNING AND REPLACING ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE UNITS? AT LEAST TOYOTA IS NOT TURNING A DEAF EAR TO ITS CUSTOMER BASE AND IS DEMONSTRATING MORALLY ETHICAL BEHAVIOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 ENVOY XL THAT HAS A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. IT SHOWS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED ONSTAR AND LET THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE SITUATION. THEY TELL ME THAT THE COMPUTER WILL SENSE A LOW OR EMPTY FUEL TANK AND SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AS TO NOT HARM THE ENGINE. I HAVE READ A LOT OF BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON A LOT OF ENVOYS AND HAVE SEEN NO RECALLS ON IT. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY NOT ? I DON'T WANT A $500 BILL TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM OF A LOT OF ENVOYS. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING TILL SOME ONE GETS KILLED TO DO THAT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN STICKING AND NOT SHOWING CORRECT GAS READING. VERY FRUSTRATING AND AFTER RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THERE SHOULD BE RE-CALL. GMC WILL BE LOSING A LOT OF BUSINESS IF THEY CAN'T RECTIFY THIS FOR PEOPLE. WHAT A SHAME! *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY MARCH 14, 2010. AFTER REFUELING, GAUGE READS EMPTY. USUALLY RECOVERS AFTER DRIVING 10-25 MILES. DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF REFUELING NECESSARY. VEHICLE WARRANTY RECENTLY EXPIRED. IT APPEARS THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IT IS EXPENSIVE ($700 - $800) TO REPAIR. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND OFTEN DRIVE ROUTES WITH 20 TO 60 MILE STRETCHES WITHOUT SERVICE STATIONS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FAULTY MECHANISM. *TR

I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. LAST MAY OF 2009 I WAS DRIVING ON US STATE 30 WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR START SMOKING VIGOROUSLY WITHOUT WARNING. JUST AS THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS AND REMOVE IT FROM TRAFFIC. I THEN TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR TO GET OUT (THE HANDLE ITS SELF WAS NOT SMOKING) AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. I CLIMBED INTO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND MANUALLY OPENED THE DOOR, GOT OUT, THEN REMOVED MY CHILDREN ALSO. THIS INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO GMC AND THEIR ANSWER WAS THAT THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WAS DESIGNED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD BE SAFE IN MY SITUATION? *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE RECENTLY FAILED FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN DISASTROUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2014, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY IN A SERIOUS TIME OF NEED. ON FEBRUARY 19, 2014, AFTER 6 1/2 HOURS, THE PROBLEM WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED AS BEING THE DECODER MOTOR AND WIRING FOR THE FOURTH TIME SINCE FEBRUARY 15, 2010. UPDATED 06/05/14. *JB

GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER FILLING, THEN SLOWLY MOVES UP AFTER DRIVING BUT WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE PRESSURE UNTIL IT READS EMPTY AND THE LIGHT IS ON, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HAS FAILED TWICE IN THREE MONTHS. THE SECOND TIME THE 7-WIRE HARNESS FROM THE CONTROLS THAT SELECTS MOTOR SPEED HAD SLIGHTLY MELTED AROUND THE COMMON WIRE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE TO BE A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOSING VOLTAGE WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND IN IDLE POSITION. WHEN CAR IS DRIVING THE VOLTAGE IS ALWAYS READING OK BUT WHEN YOUR AT A STOP LIGHT THEN ALL THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS DIM AND THE BATTERY GETS DOWN TO 10 AND SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS TO STALL. BROUGHT THE CAR TO DARCY MOTORS IN JOLIET, IL AND THEY SAID ITS NORMAL AND THE ENVOYS EXPERIENCE THIS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS AND THE CAR IS 3 YRS OLD AND HAS 80K FOR MILES AND ITS BEEN RUNNING FINE UP UNTIL THE PAST 2MO SINCE WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. WE EVEN WENT TO SEARS AND PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT THE ENVOY TO AUTOZONE AND PEPBOYS AND BOTH PLACES CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY AND ALL CABLED AND CONNECTIONS AND ALL TESTED GOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT GMC NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ASAP. *TR
