2005 GMC Envoy complaints

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING 8 MONTHS AGO, TOOK TO GMC DEALER FOR SERVICE ESTIMATE. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THESE FUEL GAUGES ALWAYS GO OUT ON ENVOYS AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS $578.00 (PLUS TAX) - I CHOKED AND DID NOT GET REPAIRED. 3 MONTHS LATER AFTER TRYING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FUEL GAUGE - IT BECAME A NIGHTMARE TO KNOW IF WE HAD GAS IN THE VEHICLE OR NOT, I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID "WE SEE THIS FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM ALL THE TIME ON THE ENVOYS"... THEY SAID THE GMC PARTS WERE A RIP-OFF AND EXPENSIVE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO USE GMC PARTS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE AND THEY QUOTED $408.00 (PLUS TAX) FOR THE REPAIR. THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE REPAIR SHOP SAID HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE NOT HAD A RECALL ON THIS SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF GMC'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HE SAID WE MAY WANT TO WAIT ON THE REPAIR TO SEE IF GM HAS A RECALL. ON AUGUST 30, I RECEIVED A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FROM GMC STATING AN ISSUE WITH ENVOYS AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, GMC STATED THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR. WHAT A JOKE, 50% OF A $600 REPAIR BILL FOR A PROBLEM THEY ADMIT IN WRITING IS A SCAM TO TRY AND GET AS MANY PEOPLE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ($300) BEFORE THE GOV'T. MANDATES A RECALL. I CALLED GMC AND REQUESTED A 100% PAID REPAIR AND THEY REFUSED. I WILL BE GLAD TO FORWARD THE "FUEL SENSOR FAILURE" LETTER IF YOU NEED. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND OWNERS OF GMC ENVOYS THAT WOULD BE VERY APPR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT GO ABOVE 1/8 TANK. SPEEDOMETER "STICKS" USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WHEN STOPPED DOES NOT RETURN TO ZERO THEN WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN THE NEW SPEED IS ACCUMULATING ON "STUCK" SPEED. SOMETIMES SPEEDOMETER "STICKS" BEFORE REACHING STEADY SPEED AND WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED THE READING IS BELOW ZERO IN THIS SCENARIO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN THE "REGISTERED" SPEED IS BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. AS I DRIVE 1,000 MILES A WEEK, IT IS QUITE IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN MY TANK AND OF COURSE HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING. *KB

THE FUEL SYSTEM STARTED TO MALFUNCTION AROUND THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPT 2010. I WAS GOING ON VACATION STOPPED TO GET GAS, AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER SHUTTING THE ENVOY OFF AND RESTARTING IT THE GAUGE SEEMED TO WORK. AS THE DAYS WENT ON THE GAUGE COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON. I RESET MY TRIP METER AFTER EVERY FILL UP, HOW ANNOYING. I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WITH THIS COMPLAINT. I REC'D A LETTER THAT GM STATES ITS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THE ONLY FIX A NEW FUEL PUMP FROM A DEALER AT 50% OFF? WHO CAN AFFORD DEALER PRICES? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT THAT GM IS FAILING TO OWN UP TO. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *KB

FUEL SENSOR DOESNT WORK. STARTED OUT SPORATIC NOW JUST STICKS AT QUARTER TANK OR EMPTY VARIES AT TIMES. *TT

"GMC ENVOY FUEL SENSOR MAY FAIL PREMATURELY". I GOT THIS INFORMATION FROM GM IN A LETTER. THEY WILL PAY 1/2 COST TO HAVE IT REPLACED IF THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND HAS =<120K MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS 148K AND IS A 2005 MODEL. GM TELLS ME THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE HIGHER MILES. I CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THE FUEL SENSOR MAY READ EMPTY EVEN WHEN FULL OR FULL WHEN IN FACT THE TANK IS EMPTY TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO HAVE GM RECALL THE AFFECTED MODELS AND REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME OR THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO IN FACT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND HOPE THAT I HAVE PROVIDED ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD TO TAKE POSITIVE ACTION. *KB

FILLED VEHICLE WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY. FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. *KB

THE WIPERS WERE THE FIRST TO GO. THAT NEEDED A CONTROL MODULE. THE TOUCH PADS FOR THE TAIL GATE WERE NEXT. FIRST THE DROP DOWN THEN THE SWING. THEN THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR INSIDE HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. THEN THE LEFT SIDE REAR DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE DOESN'T WORK. THEN THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DOESN'T WORK. THEN THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. NOW THE PASSENGER'S WINDOW DOESN'T OPEN. 5TH SPEED ON THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH GMC? THAT IS A HIGH END VEHICLE AND AS SUCH SHOULD NOT BE PLAGUED WITH SUCH PROBLEMS. *KB

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE. FUEL GAUGE FAILS TO GO PAST 1/4 TANK. *TR

I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGE SENSOR HAS STOPPED WORKING. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THE GAUGE DID NOT WORK. THE INFO I HAVE POSTED IS INFO FROM THE INDIVIDUAL I PURCHASED IT FROM. HE JUST SET THE FUEL USED OPTION TO KEEP TRACK. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURE. MECHANIC SAYS IN 25 YEARS HE HAS NEVER SEEN AS MANY FAILURES AS IN THESE MODELS,AS IT IS USUALLY VERY RARE FOR THEM TO FAIL. IN RESEARCHING ON LINE I HAVE FOUND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN '03 THROUGH '08 MODEL GMC ENVOYS AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

THE FUEL SENSING SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE FIRST SYMPTOM WAS A FUEL GAUGE REGISTERING 0 AND A CHECK FUEL LEVEL MESSAGE AFTER I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE GAUGE WOULD SLOWLY CLIMB TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE HALF FULL, BUT OFTEN RETURN TO 0 WITH THE MESSAGE OCCURRING WHENEVER STOPPING THE CAR OR ON ENGINE STARTUP. NOW THE GAUGE SELDOM GOES ABOVE A QUARTER FULL, EVEN THOUGH I TYPICALLY KEEP THE TANK MORE THAN HALF FULL. I AM ABLE TO ESTIMATE FUEL CONSUMED USING THE TRIP ODOMETER, BUT THIS IS NOT SATISFACTORY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR AND THE DEALER IS UNWILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR READS FULL AND GOES TO EMPTY BACK AND FORTH AND TURNS ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT . THIS OCCURES WITH ANY AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK FULL TO EMPTY. HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS GM WILL NOT STAND BEHIND PARTS . MY CONCERNE IS WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON HOW WILL I KNOW IF SOMETHING ELSE IS TO FAIL , SUCH AS BRAKES EXT. TALKED TO GM COMPLAINT DEPT. AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE . YEA RIGHT. SEEMS MOST GM SUV'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM . *TT

OUR 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS ALWAYS HAD A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND HAS CAUSED OUR FAMILY TO BE STRANDED A FEW TIMES WITHOUT GAS WHILE TRAVELING FAR FROM HOME. WE TOOK IT INTO A GMC DEALER WHO WANTED $ 950 FOR PARTS AND REPAIRS. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. GMC HAS ALWAYS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT OFFERED TO FIX IT NOR HAVE A RECALL ON THIS FAULTY GAS GAUGE. 856,000 GM SUVS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FAULTY FUEL GAUGES FEDERAL REGULATORS ARE INVESTIGATING 865,000 GENERAL MOTORS SUVS, INCLUDING THE 2005- ?07 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND BUICK RAINIER,FOR FAULTY FUEL GAUGES THAT ARE INACCURATE. THE 2005-?06 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT, THE 2005-?07 GMC ENVOY, THE 2005-?06 GMC ENVOY AND THE 2005-?07 SAAB 9-7X ARE ALSO AFFECTED VEHICLES BEING INVESTIGATED.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES IN 2006. WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR THE CLUSTER PANEL (GAUGES) STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPAIR AS THE ENTIRE CLUSTER PANEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVE AND REPLACED. AFTER TALKING WITH CO-WORKERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM; I LATER DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT YOU HAD TO BE THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING THE CLUSTER PANEL REPAIRED, MY GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I AM TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED FOR REPAIR AND THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE EITHER. THE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO IS NON-OPERATIONAL. THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE SEVERAL MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT I AM MOST DISTURBED BY THE FACT THAT AFTER SPENDING THE MONEY TO HAVE THE CLUSTER PANEL FIXED MY GAS GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORK. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. *KB

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND STAYS THERE FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT FINALLY SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF BUT I AM UNSURE IF IT IS CORRECT AT ALL TIMES AND AFRAID IT WILL SHOW THERE IS GAS AND RUN OUT. I HAVE SEEN WHERE SEVERAL OF ENVOY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL GM SHOULD MAKE CORRECT THESE SENSORS.

FUEL GAUGE STARTED GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY (AFTER FILLING), AND NOW IT PRETTY MUCH IS IN THE EMPTY POSITION EVEN WITH THE TANK FULL. VEHICLE HAS 79K MILES. LOW FUEL WARNING LAMP AND SOUND ARE ENGAGED. *TR

IN 2008 THE GAS GAUGE TO MY 2005 GMC ENVOY STOPPED WORKING. I WOULD FILL UP THE TANK AND THE READER WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT ALWAYS SHOWED EMPTY. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $900 TO FIX. I RAN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FREEWAY AND STREETS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. ARE THESE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE? SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED ERRATIC READINGS. WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD INDICATE THAT FUEL WAS PRESENT IN THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR. THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES ADDRESSING THIS FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AT 50K MILES. *TR

I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP TO FULL AROUND 2 MONTHS AGO. AFTER I WAS DONE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED THE GAUGE DIPPED TO EMPTY AND SHOWED THAT I WAS LOW ON FUEL. I WENT IN AND HAD THE ATTENDANT VERIFY THAT INDEED I DID HAVE GAS DISPENSED INTO MY TANK. THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AND EVER SINCE HAS SHOWN EMPTY TO 1/4 OR 3/8 OF A TANK, NEVER SHOWING THE SAME READING FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME. I HAVE A FAMILY AND DO WORRY FOR THEIR SAFETY. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING TRULY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THERE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, AND THE COST IS WAY TO STEEP TO REPAIR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE GM DEALERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS, AND HAVE FOUND THAT THEY LIKE TO PRETEND THAT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE BEFORE. VERY UNCOOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS FOR MYSELF OF COURSE, BUT ALSO FOR THOSE PURCHASING THESE VEHICLES USED FROM PRIVATE PARTIES WITHOUT BEING NOTIFIED OF THIS ACUTE AND WIDESPREAD PARTS FAILURE, WHICH INDEED MUST BE DEFECTIVE IF IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY. SAFETY IS OF COURSE THE BIGGEST ISSUE HERE, AND GM SHOULD TAKE NOTE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 ENVOY IS NOLONGER WORKING...THE PROBLEM SEEM TO BE COMMON WITH ENVOY OWNERS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ENTIRE FORUM ON IT I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GMC AND NO AVAIL...I TRIED TO TRADE THE CAR BUT WAS OFFERED WAY LESS THAN FAIR TRADE VALUE BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING I HOPE I CAN GET SOME HELP FROM SOMEONE..I CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING THE CAR BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED IN 2006 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING SEVERAL DAYS A YEAR. NOW MY GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. I FILL IT UP AND IT STARTS BLINKING WITH THE RED LIGHT THAT ITS EMPTY.

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. AFTER FILLING UP TANK WITH GAS, FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY. AFTER SOME DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE INDICATES A CHANGING LEVEL OF FUEL WITH THE RANGE INDICATOR FLUCTUATING FROM 0 TO ~114 MILES LEFT. USUALLY GAUGE READS 0 REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL INDICATE A HIGHER READING THAN WHAT THE TANK ACTUALLY HOLDS. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED 1 INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE THE GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS STILL FUEL IN THE TANK. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM TO BE WITH THE SENDING UNIT ON THE GAS TANK.

I BOUGHT A 2005 GMC ENVOY ROUGHLY 2 YEARS AGO WITH 67K AND AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS THE SENSOR READS TANK AS EMPTY DIRECTLY AFTER AND SEEMS TO FLUCTUATE TO WHATEVER IT WANTS THE REST OF THE TIME. UPON RESEARCHING THE INTERNET WITH THIS ISSUE IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND GMC IS NOT WILLING TO HELP BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY RISK. I PERSONALLY DO SEE THIS AS A SAFETY RISK, IF YOU DON'T PAY PROPER ATTENTION YOU COULD RUN OUT OF GAS AND BE STRANDED ANYWHERE. WHEN I FOUND THE LINK TO THIS WEBSITE AND FORM AND THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH A SHOT TO HOPEFULLY GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR MYSELF AND THE MANY OTHERS THAT SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES. *KB

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY READS EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. I CAN FILL THE VEHICLE UP, OR ONLY PUT $20 IN, AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL STILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL GAS IN THE VEHICLE. IT READS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATION AS A DRIVER NEVER REALLY KNOWS HOW MUCH GASOLINE THEY HAVE IN THEIR TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE POWER STEERING FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL BUT WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE DEALER DISCOVERED A BROKEN METAL TUBE THATS CONNECTED TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE CONTACT NOTICED NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V455000 (STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS) BUT DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER THE VEHICLE DID NOT APPLY. THE CONTACT STATED WITH THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONING A FIRE COULD HAVE OCCURRED OR EVEN RESULTED IN A CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,300.

2005 GMC ENVOY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL FAILURE... THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I GLANCED TO CHECK MY SPEEDOMETER AND SAW IT REGISTERED ABOUT 100 MPH. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 40. THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO CLIMB AND WENT BELOW THE HIGHEST REGISTERED NUMBER, WHICH IS 120, AND THAT'S WHERE IT NOW SITS APPARENTLY FOR GOOD. NOW I CANNOT TELL MY SPEED. THE NEEDLE REMAINS BURIED BELOW 120 MPH AND DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 ENVOY, TODAY I WAS DRIVING GOING THE NORMAL SPEED AND GOT TO A STOP SIGN ALL A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED REVVING UP ON ITS ON AND THEN WOULD STOP. THEN I BEGAN TO GIVE IT GAS AND TO MY SURPRISE IT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET UP A HILL.MINUTES LATER THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MOVE AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG.I HAVE ONSTAR SO I CALLED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, THEY STATED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE CHECKED , THE ANTIFREEZE MAY BE LOW AND CAN EFFECT THE WAY THE TRUCK IS PERFORMING.WELL AFTER GOING TO THE GAS STATION TO PURCHASE THE ANTIFREEZE THEN I START THE TRUCK AND IT BEGINS TO REV AGAIN ON ITS OWN AND SUDDENLY I CAN NOT MOVE...I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER....IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ..IM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS IS DANGEROUS....I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN......SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE......I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE.... *TR

GAS GAUGE FAILURE - IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSING STALLING , AFTER FILLING UP TANK GAUGE REGISTERS "EMPTY" , THEN WILL FLOAT BETWEEN 1/4 FULL AND EMPTY, FUEL LIGHT GOES ON , INDICATING I NEED GAS BUT I KNOW I HAVE JUST FILLED IT UP - *TR

MY HUSBAND FILLED THE ENVOY WITH GAS, AND WHEN WE DROVE OFF WE NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY. WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND WE HADN'T ACTUALLY PUMPED GAS, SO WE DROVE A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD TO ANOTHER GAS STATION TO SEE IF WE COULD GET MORE GAS. WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO PUMP LESS THAN A GALLON, SO WE FIGURED OUT THE GAUGE WASN'T READING CORRECTLY. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 45 MINUTES THE GAUGE SLOWLY MOVED FROM EMPTY TO HALF FULL, WOULD DROP BACK TO EMPTY AT RANDOM POINTS (SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING). EVER SINCE THIS TIME OUR GAUGE HAS FLUCTUATED WILDLY, READING EMPTY THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, BUT OCCASIONALLY MOVING ABOUT FROM A QUARTER FULL TO HALF THEN BACK TO EMPTY. WE HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED A FIX AS WE CANNOT AFFORD ANYTHING EXTRA AT THIS POINT DUE TO MY HUSBAND BEING DIAGNOSED WITH A TERMINAL DISEASE AND THE RESULTING MEDICAL BILLS PILING UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN EMPTY READING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

2005 GMC ENVOY - GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTION - THE GAS GAUGE WILL REGISTER EMPTY EVEN THOUGH YOU JUST FILLED UP THE TANK. AFTER YOU DRIVE FOR SEVERAL MILES IT STARTS TO REGISTER SLOWLY, BUT DOES NOT REGISTER ACCURATELY. *KB

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT ACCURATELY RECORD THE SPEED WHILE TRAVELING FOR MY 2005, GMC, ENVOY, SLT MODEL. IT WILL INDICATE THAT I AM TRAVELING 20 MPH OR EVEN 0 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND SEEMS TO INCREASE MY RPMS WHILE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL TICKETS AS I CAN NOT PERSONALLY TRACK HOW FAST/SLOW I AM GOING WHILE DRIVING. THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENS EVERYDAY. MY OIL GAUGE IS ALSO UNABLE TO READ, IT NEVER MOVES AND READS UNDER THE START OF THE METER (SOUTH) AT ALL TIMES, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT STARTED. *KB

OUT OF NOWHERE MY FRONT HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT. ITS NOT THE FUSE OR THE BULBS, BOTH FRONT LOW LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK. THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO THE LIGHTS AND I HAVE TO BUY A NEW SWITCH. THE GAS GAUGE IS BROKEN. THE ABS/BRAKE LIGHT IS ON. I FEEL SO STUCK WITH THIS CAR! *TR

I BOUGHT A 2005 GMC ENVOY USED BUT IN GOOD SHAPE. AFTER ABOUT 5000. MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO READ 120 MPH. IT RESET ITSELF A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT NOW IT'S COMPLETELY STUCK AT THE 120. ALSO THE GAS GAUGE SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I CAN FILL IT UP AND IT WILL DING AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT WON'T SHOW A DROP OF GAS ON THE GAUGE. THEN A DAY OR SO LATER IT WILL BE FINE. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP SINCE THE OWNERS MANUAL SAID IT COULD BE A FAULTY GAS CAP. IT HELPED FOR A FEW DAYS BUT IT'S BACK ON. AFTER READING ALL THESE REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS I'M SORRY I BOUGHT IT. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP GETTING IT FIXED. IT COST A $100.00 FOR THE DEALER JUST TO HOOK IT UP SO THEY COULD TELL ME IT NEEDED A SPEEDOMETER HEAD.(?) THAT WILL ONLY COST $468.00. BUT THAT WON'T FIX THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR THE GAS GAUGE. I'M WORRIED THAT I'LL GET A TICKET BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK OR RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN THE GAS GAUGE ISN'T WORKING. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 78 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BE CITED BY A POLICE OFFICER FOR SPEEDING. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS NOT REPLACED; HOWEVER, HE NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SPEEDOMETER FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AND OTHER GM VEHICLES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO DISPLAY IMPROPER READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS RESET. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN EMPTY READING AFTER REFUELING. THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO DISPLAY A NORMAL READING THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP10001 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM) THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT ONE OF THE SETTINGS FOR THE FAN STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,980.

1. GAS ODOR FOR LAST 3-4 YEARS. 2. NOW GAS HAND IN VEHICLE HAS QUIT WORKING. 3. NOTHING DONE YET JUST HAPPENED. *TR

ONE DAY I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND IT READ EMPTY WHEN I DROVE AWAY. IT HAS READ EMPTY EVER SINCE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MOVING SLIGHTLY ABOVE E FOR A FEW MININUTE WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER FILLING THE TANK AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND AM HOPING FOR A RECALL. I FILL UP EVERY OTHER DAY JUST TO BE SURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. MY ENVOY IS A 2005 WITH ABOUT 85K MILES.

SITTING AT A RR CROSSING AWAITING TRAIN TO PASS , MY FUEL GAUGE CAME ON THAT I NEEDED GAS EVEN AS THE TANK WAS OVER 1/2 FULL WHEN IT HAPPENED. HAS NOT READ CORRECTLY SINCE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND TO A 1/4 TANK, TO 1/8TH TO 1/2 TANK. DOES NOT READ ACCURATE HAS JUST TURNED 49000 MILES 2005 GMC ENVOY. *TR

JUST AS I JUST FILED A COMPLAINT YESTERDAY MY CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME TURNED OFF. I WAS THE MUST SCARY THING THAT EVER HAPPEN TO ME. MY 2005 GMC ENVOY HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE. I WOULD FILL UP BUT IT WOULD SHOW EMPTY. SO THIS WAS WHAT HAPPEN YESTERDAY. I WAS LEAVING WORK AROUND 3PM AND JUST AS I EASE PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT I FELT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR DIDN'T GO AS FAST THEN OUT OF NO WAY THE CAR GOT HARDER TO DRIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL GOT HARDER TO TURN. I KNEW I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE STREETS BEFORE SOMEONE HIT ME. I TURNED TO MAKE A TURN INTO THE GAS STATION BUT AS I WAS TURNING MY CAR COMPLETELY STOP HALF WAY INTO THE GAS STATION. SO JUST PICTURE MY CAR IN A TURN POSITION IN THE STREET TRYING TO PULL UP INTO THE GAS STATION. I WAS THEN TRULY THANKFUL THREE STRANGER CAME OUT TO HELP ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE, ESPECIALLY BEING A YOUNG WOMEN, AND A MOM. I ALSO GLAD MY SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME ESPECIALLY IF SOMETHING BAD WOULD HAVE HAPPEN. I'M JUST GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY YET OR AT NIGHT. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHY MY CAR IS DOING THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS MY GAS GAUGE TELLS ME I HAVE NO GAS EVEN AFTER THE FACT I JUST FILLED UP. I EVEN TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON HOPING IT WOULD RESET ITSELF, BUT NO. SO TIL THIS DAY MY GAS GAUGE SAY EMPTY. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR, I BOUGHT IT NEW, NO ACCIDENT. I ALSO TAKEN TO THE AUTOSHOP AND I WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE GAS GAUGE WHEN UP ALITTLE BUT THEN WHEN I TURNED CAR OFF IT WHEN BACK TO SHOWING EMPTY. IT HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. IT NOW FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN, BUT IF TANK WAS RECENTLY FILLED, WILL REMAIN ON E FOR A WHILE .I FEEL THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE LIKE THIS BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF I HAVE GAS OR NOT. *TR

ONE DAY MY OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND EVENTUALLY EVERY GAUGE IN MY PANEL STOPPED WORKING. THIS ALL STARTED AROUND NOV OF 2008. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I CHECKED ALL FUSES, BULBS AND WIRING. NOW TWO DAYS AGO MY HEAD LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON LOW BEAM. NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY FOUND HUNDREDS OF ENVOY OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND NOW KNOW IT IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. EST COST FOR THE PART ONLY $570. *TR

IN JULY OF 2009, MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, IT WAS READING EMPTY ALL THE TIME. EVEN AFTER A FILL UP. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING ANY MORE. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DROP THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE SENSOR. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WASN'T NECESSARY TO FIX. SO I HAVE BEEN GETTING GAS EVERY 300 MILES. TODAY I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM WAS PUTTING A STRAIN ON MY COMPUTER FOR THE CAR. THE COMPUTER CONTROLS EVERYTHING IN THE CAR. THAT EVENTUALLY I WOULD BE PAYING A LOT MORE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE COMPUTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. A LETTER WAS SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO IN RETURN, CALLED THE CONTACT AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. UPDATED 07/08/11 *BF UPDATED 07/18/11
