2005 GMC Envoy complaints

FUEL GAUGE INDICATED NEARLY 1/4 TANK AND THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. FROM THAT TIME FORWARD THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH FROM EMPTY TO FULL RIGHT AFTER I FILLED COMPLETELY UP. IT WOULD START TO WORK PROPERLY AFTER ABOUT 40 MILES OR SO. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT MY RUNNING OUT OF GAS MAY HAVE HAD AN EFFECT ON THE CALIBRATION OF THE LEVEL SENSOR SINCE IT WAS ONLY DOING IT WHEN IT WAS COMPLETELY FULL AND THEN WOULD WORK FINE AFTER AWHILE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, IT CONTINUED TO BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, BUT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING ONCE THE TANK GOT DOWN TO AROUND 1/2 FULL. IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND NOW CONTINUALLY STAYS ON EMPTY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ALSO COME ON WHEN THE SENSOR WAS GOING CRAZY, AND NOW THAT ITS ALWAYS ON E, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS CONTINUALLY ON. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY FILL MY TANK AND SET MY TRIP ODOMETER EVERYTIME I FILL UP SO THAT I HAVE SOME IDEA OF HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, BUT IT HAS STILL CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL TIME I RAN OUT AND I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS QUOTED A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SENSORS ON GM TRUCKS FROM THAT TIME FRAME AND GM ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE. MY TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS JUST UNDER 117,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT USED FROM A GM DEALER IN 2010, AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATION. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE WENT CRAZY. I FILLED UP MY TANK BUT THE GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING INCORRECT READINGS. IT JUMPS LEFT, AND RIGHT AT RANDOM TIMES, AND SOMETIMES REPORTS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT'S FULL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 GMC ENVOY THROUGH A PARKING LOT WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED, CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND COME TO A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE HALT. THE GAS NEEDLE SUDDENLY REGISTERED ON EMPTY (ALTHOUGH THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK) BUT THE SUV WOULDN'T RESTART SO I HAD IT TOWED. PER THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSTICS, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS BAD, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WAS BAD AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH THE TANK. GMC HAD DIRECT MAILED ME A LETTER SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR REGARDING A FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE; IN THAT LETTER, GMC OFFERED TO PICK UP 50% OF THE COSTS OF REPAIRS. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROCESS AND TO CONFIRM THAT IT WOULD BE HONORED PRIOR TO TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I REITERATED SEVERAL TIMES. DURING THAT CALL, I PROVIDED THE VIN, MILEAGE AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM PER THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE BRIDGED IN THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHO AGREED THAT THE WORK COULD BE DONE WITHIN A DAY'S TIME. NEITHER PROVIDED ANY CAVEATS TO HONORING THE "SPECIAL COVERAGE" OFFER. BASED ON OUR VERBAL AGREEMENT, I TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO LATER AGREED THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED BUT STATED THE SENDING UNIT AND TANK WEREN'T IN NEED OF REPAIR AS THEY'D PUT IN 5 GALLONS OF GAS AND STARTED THE ENGINE. THEY ALSO PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $1150 FOR ALL OF THE WORK WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT I'D PAY 100% OF THE COST. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS/ESCALATIONS, GMC REFUSES T

THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING INCORRECTLY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF GOING 25 MPH, IT SHOWS 70MPH. IT DOES NOT SHOW THE SAME SPEED EACH TIME EITHER. NEVER GOES TO 0 MPH. THIS PROBLEM JUST OCCURRED ONE DAY. *TR

AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER GM CUSTOMERS MY VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FUEL GAUGE/SENDING UNIT FAILURE. IT BEGAN SLOWLY WITH MINOR INACCURACIES IN FUEL AMOUNT. THEN IT QUICKLY AND STEADILY GOT WORSE UNTIL THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO PAY THE FULL PRICE. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD FORCE THEM TO FULLY REPAIR THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT WHICH RENDERS THE DRIVER BLIND AS TO HOW MUCH FUEL THEY MAY HAVE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I'M BACK! YES HERE WE GO AGAIN A REPETITIVE ISSUE W/GMC HERE IT'S JULY 20012 AND YET NO REPLY FROM GMC OR DEALERSHIP ON MY CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH ALL GAUGES LOCATED ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SURE REIMBURSED PARTIALLY FOR CHARGES REPLACING FUEL SENSOR BUT NOTIFIED TO CONTACT DEALER WHERE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED BUT NO RETURN CALLS FROM GMC AND THE SO WHAT DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY CALL THEIR ESTABLISHMENT. THIS WAS ONLY ONE OF MANY PROBLEMS. GAUGES FLUCTUATE SPEEDOMETER, RPM, FUEL, BATTERY, WATER TEMP JUST SAY ALL THE [XXX] GAUGES SUCK. HOW DOES GMC GUARANTEE TODAY TRY ARE VEHICLES TODAY IF NOT SATISFIED BRING THEM BACK BS WHY NOT TAKE ALL THESE GMC ENVOYS FROM 2003-2008 BACK OR BETTER YET RESOLVE OUR ISSUES. STRONGLY I FEEL LET'S ALL UNITE & FILE A MAJOR LAW SUIT AGAINST GMC FOR HARDSHIP, FALSE INFORMATION, DEFECTIVE PRODUCT SOLD, STRESS, ANGER MAYBE THEY WILL ADDRESS OUR ISSUES ASAP. DISABLED VIETNAM VET WHO DEPENDS ON ENVOY FOR MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. TODAY RARELY DRIVE MY ENVOY DUE TO MY PERSONAL FEAR RUNNING OUT OF FUEL OR BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION & HIGHWAY SAFETY OR SAFERCAR.GOV ADDRESS OUR ISSUES WITH EXTREME URGENCY, WOULD BE APPRECIATED, CHECK MY PREVIOUS ISSUES REPORTED. YEAH, WAS PLANNING PURCHASING NEW GMC TRUCK IN 2013 GMC BLEW THIS FROM OCCURRING TOTALLY,THANK YOU FOR YOUR VALUABLE TIME. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY OUT OF THE BLUE MY SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND MY GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH LIGHT ON EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS! ADDITIONALLY THE FACTORY SPEAKERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, HE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR TISSUE DAMAGE ON THE UPPER BODY FROM THE IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE IT WAS DECLARED DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 09/24/2012 *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE ACCIDENT WAS INITIATED BY A VEHICLE GOING WEST BOUND THAT CROSSED THE SOLID DOUBLE LINES, ULTIMATELY CAUSING A DOMINO EFFECT. THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED WHEN HE TRIED TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE BY SWERVING SIDEWAYS AND SLIDING INTO THE GRASS. HE TRIED STOPPING THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS STILL ON THE PAVEMENT BUT HE INEVITABLY RAN INTO THE DITCH AND FLEW AIRBORNE INTO A TREE, AND THE TRUCK OVERTURNED.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY & ALSO THE THERMOSTAT GAUGE & THE GAS GAUGE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG ENVOY OWNER'S & IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE RECALLED & REPLACED. *JB

THE GAS GAUGE ON THIS VEHICLE IS OFF. ON TWO SEPARATE INCIDENCES WHEN THE GAS GAUGE IS JUST ABOVE THE RED EMPTY INDICATOR, THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THIS IS DEMONSTRATED BY DIFFICULTY EXCEL-ORATING AFTER STOPPING, OR GOING UP HILL. THEN 15-20 MILES LATER THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE IS STRUGGLING TO GO BECAUSE IT IS LITERALLY RUNNING ON EMPTY. *TR

THE REAR LIGHT, LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE SNAPPED OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AS RESULT, BUT VERY EASILY COULD HAVE CREATED ONE. WOULD LIKE FOR GMC TO COVER THE COST TO REPAIR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING SPEED CONTROL GOES BACK AND FORTH. ALSO WHEN COME TO STOP IT STAYS STUCK? FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT PROPERLY DISPLAY CORRECT AMOUT OF FUEL IN TANK. *TR

FUEL GAUGES IS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULL OF GASOLINE. ODOMETER IS NOT READING THE CORRECT SPEED. TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS MALFUNCTIONING. ON GOOGLE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IS WIDELY KNOWN. WHAT IS GMC DOING TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES? THE TAX PAYERS HELP BAIL OUT GMC AND NOW WE ARE NOT BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY WHERE IS OUR JUSTICE? PLEASE HELP, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO STEER ON ITS OWN TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL BEARING, THE OUTER TIE RODS, AND THE UPPER BALL JOINTS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE TIE ROD AND THE WHEEL BEARING WERE REPLACED. ALSO, WHENEVER THE CONTACT DROVE OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE OR TURNED, A CLUNKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS PERFORMED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,700.

GAS GAUGE INTERMITTENT. NEVER GIVING A CONSISTANT READING WITH NEEDLE MOVING ALL OVER THE PLACE ON GAUGE. *JS

FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY OR FUEL LEVEL LOW AND I JUST FILLED UP! *JS

I JUST BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A PRIVATE PARTY ON MONDAY 4/23/12. MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK ON 80 MPH YESTERDAY WHEN IT WAS IN PARK AND WHEN I DROVE IT. NOW TODAY IS IS STUCK AT 120 MPH. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT STOP WIPING WHEN CONTROL IS MOVED TO STOP. MUST STOP VEHICLE, TURN IGNITION OFF IN ORDER TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT SINCE I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AND THE LETTER STATED NOT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER UNLESS YOU CURRENTLY HAD THE PROBLEM. AS OF A WEEK AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I FUELED UP UNTIL THE TANK WAS FULL AND THE GAUGE READS AS IF THE TANK IS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IN ADDITION THE SPEEDOMETER HAS IS HAVING ISSUES NOW AS WELL. IT STICKS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THEN JUST GOES TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY GPS I WOULD HAVE NO CLUE WHAT RATE OF SPEED I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR FOR THE FUEL GAUGE WILL COST ME $240 WITH GMC PAYING THE OTHER HALF. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE I DID SO WHY AM I NOW STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BILLS? WHY WAS THIS NOT FIXED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP? SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.I SHOULD NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR GMC'S ERRORS! IN ADDITION THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE OTHER GMC MODELS FOR THE CLUSTER GAUGE THAT AFFECTS THE SPEEDOMETER. THE ENVOY WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. ONCE AGAIN WHY SHOULD I BE STUCK HOLDING THE BAG ON FAULTY EQUIPMENT? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS RESOLVED? *TR

MY 2005 ENVOY SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING OR STICKS. IT ALSO DOES NOT GIVE CORRECT SPEED. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO RELY ON MY GPS FOR SPEED CONTROL. ARE THERE ANY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

SINCE FEBRUARY 2011 FUEL SENSOR PROBLEMS INACCURATE READING FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYS FULL THEN EMPTY INDICATOR LIGHT TURNS ON THEN OFF, DRIVING ON THE 10 FREEWAY EAST WITH GRANDCHILDREN ABOARD VERY CLOSE TO ACCIDENT HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF TO SIDE NO FUEL IN TANK. REPORTED PROBLEM TO MARK CHRISTOPHER AUTO CENTER ONTARIO CALF. REPLACE FUEL SENSOR ALSO RECOMMEND FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACE AT THE SAME TIME SINCE FUEL TANK WAS OFF VEHICLE ESTIMATE FOR SERVICE $324.88 TAX INCLUDED TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP MODULE PARTS AND LABOR $800.00. VERY COSTLY SINCE ON SET INCOME JUST SERVICE ENVOY REPLACE FUEL SENSOR TOTAL AMOUNT DUE $740.34. RECEIVED LETTER FROM GENERAL MOTORS 8/9/2011 REIMBURSING CHARGES OF 50% ONLY FOR FUEL SENSOR CHARGES PAID. YEAR TO DATE CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH FUEL GAUGE READING, RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP ON FEBRUARY 10, 2011 DID EXPLAIN FUEL GAGE READING WERE INACCURATE, SERVICE TECHNICIAN PLACED ON SCOPE & SCANNED FOR MALFUNCTIONS STATED NO PROBLEMS FOUND. PERSONALLY UPSET FOR THE AMOUNT PAID THINKING GM ONLY CARES ABOUT LABOR CHARGES AND PRICE ON PARTS CONTRIBUTES TO THEIR PROFIT NO LOSSES. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NO LONGER THEIR PRIORITY.TODAY SPEEDOMETER OPERATES INACCURATE READS OVER 150+MILES, OIL GAUGE IS LOCKED, RPM GAUGE INACCURATE FLUCTUATES BACK & FORTH, FUEL GAUGE READS FUEL PRESENT ACTUALLY EMPTY INDICATOR LIGHT DISPLAYS EMPTY OR INOPERATIVE STOPS SUDDENLY CONFUSING ME ADDING FUEL ESPECIALLY WITH TODAYS PRICE. WATER TEMP GAUGE READS VEHICLE OVER 180 DEGREES SO INCORRE

THE GAS GAUGE STARTED FAILING. IT STARTED MARKING RANDOM FUEL VALUES WHICH WERE COMPLETELY INCORRECT. IT WOULD MARK HALF A TANK WHEN IT WAS FULL. IT WOULD RANDOMLY JUMP TO DIFFERENT SETTING AFTER EACH START. AND FINALLY IT GOT STUCK ON EMPTY WITH THE EMPTY LIGHT ON. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY. ATTORNEY WRITES ON BEHALF OF THE CLIENT IN REGARDS TO FUEL LEVEL CENSOR THAT MAY WEAR PREMATURELY *TGW THE ATTORNEY STATED HIS CLIENTS VEHICLE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. ULTIMATELY, THE SENSOR WORE OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO STOP WORKING. *JB

TACHOMETER INITIALLY FAILED, NOW SPEEDOMETER IS ALSO NOT WORKING. HAVE HEARD/SEEN MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT ON ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS BEGUN READING INCORRECTLY. THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN I FILL IT WITH FUEL. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE TANK APPEARS TO RETURN TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS A NORMAL READING. THEN, ON IT'S OWN, IT WILL FLUXUATE DROPPING TO EMPTY, TRIGGERING THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND ALARM AND THEN RETURN TO IT'S PREVIOUS POSITION. AT THIS TIME, I CANNOT TRUST THE GAUGE TO BE ACCURATE. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY SLT HAS BEGAN READING INCORRECTLY. THE GAUGE READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK HAS FUEL IN IT. AFTER A DAY OR SO THE TANK READS NORMAL, THEN IT BEGINS TO FLUXUATE FROM CORRECT TO EMPTY. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BEGIN COMING ON, AND WILL GO OFF AGAIN WITH NO RESETTING. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE TANK IN MY 05 ENVOY THE GAUGE READS EMPTY FOR A WHILE, THEN GOES UP AND DOWN. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 8 AM FRIDAY JANUARY 27TH I OPENED THE BACK HATCH OF MY GMC ENVOY. APPROXIMATELY 4-6 INCHES PULLING IT DOWN TO SHUT IT THE ENTIRE WINDOW SHATTERED ALL OVER ME, THE GROUND AND INSIDE MY CAR. I CALLED MY INSURANCE, PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE IT REPLACED, IT WAS FIXED AND THEN TODAY JANUARY 28TH, ONE DAY AFTER HAVING IT REPLACED I WAS CLOSING THE DOOR AGAIN AND AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME POINT IN CLOSING IT COMPLETELY SHATTERED AGAIN. THIS IS TWICE IN TWO DAYS. I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME IT PROBABLY HAD TO DO WITH THE WEATHER BUT THE WEATHER WAS WARMER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY AND SEVERAL FORUMS HAVE SHOWN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VEHICLE ISSUE VS A WEATHER ISSUE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL. IT WILL WORK AGAIN AT ABOUT HALF A TANK, THEN WHEN WE REFUEL IT WILL GO TO EMPTY AGAIN. THEN IT WILL START TO GO UP TO ABOUT 1/8 TANK, THEN GO BACK TO EMPTY. SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES. *TR

REPEAT PROBLEMS SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AT DEALERS. AIR /O2 SENSORS DEFECTIVE/REPLACED. DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP/FUEL SENSOR/ELECTRONIC GAS GAUGE; FLICKERING/DIMMING HEADLIGHTS; FREEZING/INABILITY TO CONTROL DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND CONTROLS. 1/4 OF FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS OUT; DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CONTROL LIGHTING 1/4 OUT; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW FUEL LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1997. TIE RODS BOTH REPLACED AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT SWAY BARS. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING VEHICLE PURCHASE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY GO OFF. I WOULD CALL ONSTAR AT WHICH POINT I WAS TOLD TO TAKE CAR IN FOR REPAIR W/I 7-10 DAYS (OFTEN TOLD A PROBLEM W/POWERTRAIN OR TRANSMISSION) . AT DEALERS SERVICE DEPT, TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN AFTER TONS OF WORRY, CONCERN AND TIME SPENT, THAT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS CAR TENDS TO TRIP/TRIGGER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY WOULD JUST RESET IT SO AFTER AWHILE, I BEGAN TO DISREGARD THE LIGHT AS I WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST WEEKLY. APPROX 2 YRS AFTER PURCHASE, FILLED UP GAS TANK AND FUEL LIGHT SHOWED "LOW FUEL". WENT BACK UP TO FULL, DROPPED TO 1/2 AND BACK TO EMPTY. WENT BACK TO FULL AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND CONTINUED TO DO THIS. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS, CONSTANTLY STAYS AT EMPTY. CALLED REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD APPROX $700-800 TO DROP TANK AND REPLACE FUEL SENSOR WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD AND BEGAN TO TRACK ODOMETER AND REFILL TANK AFTER 200 MILES DRIVEN AFTER FILL UP. HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 5 YEARS. JAN 29,2011, I GO FOR EMISSION TEST. FAIL D/T LOW

THE REAR WINDSHIELD OF MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON TODAY. I LIFTED THE FULL HATCH (NOT JUST THE WINDOW SECTION) TO PLACE ITEMS IN THE BACK THAT I HAD PURCHASED AT HOME DEPOT. I PLACED A CAN OF PAINT, ONE BAG, AND A BAG OF SAND IN THE BACK - NOTHING THAT WAS NEAR THE GLASS OF THE HATCH. I THEN CLOSED THE HATCH WITH ENOUGH FORCE FOR IT TO CLOSE SECURELY, BUT NOT WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE. AS I WALKED TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO ENTER THE CAR, I HEARD A LOUD POP THAT I THOUGHT WAS SOMEONE HITTING THE BACK OF MY CAR WITH THEIR VEHICLE. AS I WALKED AROUND TO THE BACK, MY REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED INTO A MILLION TINY PIECES. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS OR PEOPLE AROUND THE WINDOW CLOSE ENOUGH TO BREAK IT - IT JUST SHATTERED FOR NO REASON AT ALL! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF ISSUES WITH REAR WINDSHIELDS, BUT I FOUND INFORMATION THAT DIFFERS ON LINE. FORTUNATELY, THE DEDUCTIBLE ON MY INSURANCE IS ONLY $200. HOWEVER, FOR OTHERS, I HAVE SEEN WHERE THEY HAVE HAD TO PAY UP TO $1500 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE EXPENSE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE THE WINDOW. THE COMPANY THAT IS COMING TO REPLACE IT SAID THE WINDOW ITSELF COSTS $937, NOT INCLUDING THE INSTALLATION. *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING EMPTY CONTINUOUSLY AS I HAVE READ FROM MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. AT FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO, AT WHICH TIME THE MESSAGE IN ON THE LCD READING SAID "STOP ENGINE" AND "OIL PRESSURE LOW". I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY GAS STATION AND CHECKED THE OIL, WHICH WAS ONLY DOWN A 1/4 TANK. MY MECHANIC STOPPED THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE RESET ITSELF BUT ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS ANOTHER SENSOR PROBLEM LIKE THE FUEL SENSOR BUT IS NOT COMPLETELY SURE. I ONLY STARTED WITH THIS ISSUE TODAY BUT IT IS MORE WORRISOME TO ME THAN KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MUCH GAS SHOULD BE IN MY TANK. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW AND HAVE DRIVE 79000 MILES. I ALSO HAD A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH I BELIEVE IS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

GASOLINE AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES STOP WORKING SUDDENLY ON A GMC ENVOY 2005. *TR

SAME PROBLEM EVERYBODY ELSE IS HAVING WITH THERE ENVOYS, FLOATING FUEL NEEDLE, NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHICH OCCASIONALLY WILL GO OFF, BUT NOW I CAN'T PASS EMISSION INSPECTION BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE HAPPENS TO BE ON, AND NOW I AM FORCED TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION. THANKS GM, JUST WHAT I NEED A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. ONLY 60,00 MILES ON CAR AND I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS. COULD POSSIBLY BE LAST GM CAR BOUGHT IN THIS HOUSE. *TR

I WAS GETTING MY TANK FILLED WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE PEGGED OUT PAST FULL, THEN BOUNCED DOWN TO EMPTY. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES THEN WENT BACK TO FULL. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUED TO BOUNCE AROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE KNEW IF WE HAD ENOUGH GAS WAS TO FILL IT AND USE THE TRIP METER. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS CEASED TO MOVE AT ALL SINCE APRIL 2011. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL SINCE THE INCIDENT. I LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT IT IS A MAJOR PAIN TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WHEN 3 PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD RELY ON IT. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, ONLY TO LEARN THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I PRICED A NEW CLUSTER AND IT WAS OVER $500. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE STILL HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WITH OUR TRIP METER. GM SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY HAD NO PROBLEM TAKING A BAILOUT. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN BUYING GM PRODUCTS FOR YEARS, HOWEVER, NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WILL EVER OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT IF THEY CAN'T DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CONSUMERS, AND DO IT NOW. NOT 5 YEARS FROM NOW!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED THAT I WAS GOING 90+ MPH. I SLOWED DOWN TO THE POINT THAT PEOPLE WERE PASSING ME IN A 65MPH ZONE AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING 60 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE CONTINUED TO ERRATICALLY GO UP AND DOWN. *TR

MY COMPLAINT AS WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS......IF GMC IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY GAS SENSORS, THEN WHY DO I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HALF OF THE BILL TO CORRECT IT ? MY CAR CANNOT PASS MY STATES EMISSIONS TESTING, BECAUSE AS LONG AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, IT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL...I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I WANT GMC TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENTIRE BILL...NOT HALF !! *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS INCORRECTLY. AT FIRST IT WOULD SHOW HALF TANK OR MORE WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS LESS GAS. NOW THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. THE AUDIBLE FUEL WARNING FOR LOW FUEL ALSO RINGS CONSTANTLY. AFTER RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE REPAIR WAS TOO COSTLY. WE WERE HOWEVER CHARGED A $100 FEE JUST FOR THE GMC DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. WE NOW TRACK FUEL USING THE TRIP COMPUTER. LOOK ONLINE FOR SOME HELP I WAS AMAZED TO FIND OUT THAT MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE AND ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED. HAD EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND GASKETS REPLACED. TOOK 5 WORKING DAYS TO FIX. CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE ENVOY AND TRAILER BLAZER 'S MANIFOLD. *TR

I NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK THE LIGHT CAME ON AS IF THE TANK WAS EMPTY. I ACTUALLY STOPPED WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND LOOKED AT MY RECEIPT AND QUESTIONED THE ATTENDANT. THE TANK WAS FULL. THE GAUGE WAS ERRATIC FROM THEN ON GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY IN A MATTER OF TWO TO THREE MILES AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY. THE FUNNY THING WAS THAT I JUST GOT A LETTER FROM GMC ADVISING ME OF THIS PROBLEM AND MAGNANIMOUSLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR 50% OF THE COST. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE TIMING. THINKING IT WAS A MINOR THING I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND FOUND OUT THAT I AM FACING A MINIMUM OF $600.00 FOR DROPPING MY GAS TANK AND CHECKING TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SERIOUSLY!!!???? WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?? WHY AM I BURDENED WITH THIS RIDICULOUS COST WHEN IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS A FALSE READING ON THE GAS GAUGE COULD MAKE THE DRIVER THINK THEY HAVE A FULL TANK WHEN IN FACT IT IS EMPTY AN THE VEHICLE COULD STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY REQUEST FOR ACTION FROM GMC TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AT THEIR EXPENSE - NOT THE CONSUMERS'. *TR

I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE HAD A UNIQUE PROBLEM, AFTER RECENTLY BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY GMC + THEIR DEALER, I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND REALIZE THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. THE ELECTRONIC GAS GAUGE + NEEDLE STOPPED WORKING AT 90 000. I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THEY WOULD PAY FOR HALF THE REPAIR TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED ON 10/20/11.WAITED ALL DAY AND WATCHED THE MECHANIC TEST DRIVE MY VEHICLE,I WAS WALKED TO THE CASHIER + PAID 146.14, PULLED OUT OF PARKING LOT AND THOUGHT THEY FORGOT TO RESET THE COMPUTER AS GAUGE + DASH WERE NOT WORKING.I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED AND WAS TOLD THE SENSOR WAS WORKING BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLUSTER PANEL + THAT WOULD COST 900.00.THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THE DEFECT AND RECALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED. I'VE RUN OUT OF GAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SMALL CHILDREN AT NIGHT. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS REGULARLY BLINK IN AND OUT ON MY 2005 ENVOY. THERE HAVE EVEN BEEN TIMES WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON FOR NO KNOWN REASON. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS. SCARY STUFF! PLUS, I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. ONE FELLOW SAID HE TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. RECALL - AND NOW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY HUSBAND WAS LAID OFF FROM HIS JOB AND WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE 1/2 THAT GM IS OFFERING TO FIX THE THING IN THEIR RECALL. IF THEY KNEW IT WAS A FAILURE OF THEIR EQUIPMENT WHY ARE THEY NOT PAYING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT? *TR

THE FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF THE PORT TO CHECK ENGINE CODE DOES NOT WORK. THE INSIDE COURTESY LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ONE BACK UP LIGHT WILL NOT WORK THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT GETS NO POWER AND WON'T WORK. ONLY 3 OF THE 5 SPEED SETTINGS ON THE FAN WORK. GMC DEALER SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING, AND THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THESE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER I AM ABLE TO FIND THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN VARIOUS CONSUMER SITES. GMC WON'T EVEN RETURN MY CALLS. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY XL HAS SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE BATTERY AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES ARE READING OFF THE SCALE PAST THEIR MAXIMUM READINGS. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT AND THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT. *TR

JULY 26, 2011 I FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND NOTICED THAT MY GAS GAUGE SHOWED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ON EMPTY....AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THE GAS GAUGE STARTED WORKING PROPERLY. OVER THE NEXT MONTH IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS OFF AND ON. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH 2005 GMC ENVOY'(WEIRD HOW THE LETTER APPEARED AS I WAS STARTING TO HAVE THE ISSUE) AND THAT THEY WOULD PAY 50% OF MY COST TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A GMC DEALERSHIP. WITHIN TWO WEEKS MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I DO OR DO NOT HAVE IN MY VEHICLE. WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!! THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS !! GMC IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD CONSIDER IT A RECALL AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

LET ME START LIKE THIS. MY FAMILY INCLUDING MY GRANDFATHER ALWAYS HAD CHEVROLET OR GMC CARS. I WAS RAISED LEARNING HOW STRONG THEY WERE, SMOOTH DRIVING AND EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. I BOUGHT A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 2002 IN 2006 WHICH I LOVED, BUT UNFORTUNATELY SOMEBODY HAD CRASHED AND AFTER FIXING I SOLD. NEXT, I DECIDED TO BUY AN ENVOY SLT V6 2005 WITH 27KMILES IN 2008, WHICH I HAVE UNTIL TODAY AND I LOVE SO MUCH. SMOOTH DRIVE, COMFORTABLE, POWERFUL, GREAT LOOKING, SPACIOUS AND GREAT ENGINE. AS MY GRANDFATHER USED TO SAY, "SON ALWAYS HAVE A NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND THIS CAR WILL LAST FOREVER". I NEVER HAD ANY SERIOUS PROBLEM, EXCEPT NOW THAT THE FUEL SENSOR LEVEL IS DEAD AND I HAVE THE CHIME ALWAYS SIGNALIZING LOW FUEL EVEN IF I FILL OUT THE TANK. WELL I WAIT FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS FILLING OUT THE TANK AND TRACKING THE MILEAGE. 2 WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC WITH MY VIN NUMBER STANDING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY FIND OUT AND THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY 50% OF THE COST. I DID CALL THEM IN FACT TO KNOW THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE LETTER AND THEY CONFIRM THE ISSUE RECOMMENDING TO TAKE TO THE DEALER. I DID, AND THIS PROBLEM HAS A COST EQUIVALENT OF ALMOST A THOUSAND, WHICH WITH 50% OF DISCOUNT WITH THE LETTER WILL BE CLOSE TO FIVE HUNDRED. GMC IS AVOIDING HAVING THIS PAID 100% SINCE IT'S A RECOGNIZED AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT PART. MY CAR HAS 86K MILES TODAY AND ITS STILL WITH THE PROBLEM. I CALLED GMC MORE THAN 3 TI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAGE SENSOR FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 131,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2005 ENVOY XL GOES TO LOW FUEL ANYTIME AFTER 1/4 TANK LEFT. AFTER FILLING UP, IT WILL READ LOW FUEL FOR ABOUT 15 MILES. IT THEN FLUCTUATES FOR AWHILE BEFORE SETTLING ON WHAT I HOPE IS AN ACCURATE READING. *TR
