WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED A WARNING SOUND BEGAN TO INDICATE TO THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE FUEL GAUGE READING INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FUEL INDICATOR ALSO DISPLAYED A READING THAT FLUCTUATES AND DOES NOT SHOW THE ACCURATE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP10001 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY AND THE GAS LIGHT AND FUEL TANK GAUGE ARE MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN WE FILL UP WITH GAS THE EMPTY GAS REMAINS ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN ONLY MOVES TO 1/4 OF A FULL TANK. LATER IT WILL MOVE UP, BUT WILL DRIVING IT WILL JUST DROP TO EMPTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED. THE CONTACT RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED INACCURATELY THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL BUT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE CONTACTS MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THAT THE TANK AND SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

THE GAS GAUGE IS MALFUNCTIONING IN MY 2005 GMC ENVOY (VIN # [XXX]) WHEREAS IT DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE.....I CAN FILL IT COMPLETELY UP AND IT WILL SHOW PAST THE EMPTY MARK AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL SHOW 1/4 TANK RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS 3X (FORTUNATELY NOT ON A BUSY THOROUGHFARE), BUT THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT EVER KNOWING FOR CERTAIN HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK OR NOT. IT IS SO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT MY GAS GAUGE 'DINGS' OFF AND ON ALL THE TIME INDICATING THAT I AM LOW ON FUEL EVEN AFTER I HAVE FILLED THE VEHICLE UP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

ON REGULAR BASIS WOULD ADD 10 GALLONS PER FILL UP, THEN DURING A LONG TRIP FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY: WHICH THEN THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. THEN WENT UP TO ABOUT HALF. NOW AFTER 10 GAL. FILL THE GAUGE READ EMPTY OR ABOUT 1/4. HAVE NOT NONE MUCH AFTER LEARNING THIS IS A VERY COMMON GM PROBLEM. FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE (DRIVING 27 YEARS) RAN OUT OF GAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 4WAY INTERSECTION, HONEST TRUTH. DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MY FAMILY IN CAR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. *TR

THE INACCURATE READING WAS CONSISTENT. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAULTY FUEL TANK AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN IN FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000. UPDATED 06/17/11 *BF UPDATED 06/30/11

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING OF EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO PERFORM AS IF IT WERE GOING TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

A FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE GMC DEALER REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR.

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE READING ON THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. GAUGE MOSTLY READS EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL SHOW THERE IS MORE GAS THAN IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 GMC ENVOY. ON AUGUST 20, 2010, I TOOK MY CAR TO FILL UP PRIOR TO TAKING A TRIP FROM MARYLAND TO VIRGINIA. ONCE I FILLED UP, GOT IN THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE IGNITION, THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT MOVE FROM EMPTY TO FULL. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE (SOMEWHERE AROUND 60 MILES) THE GAS GAUGE MOVED TO 1/2,THEN A 1/4 TANK. IT HAS BEEN ALL DOWNHILL SINCE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10/25/10 (MILEAGE WAS AT 77263) AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR THE SENSOR WHICH THEY ARE STATING AS THE ISSUE. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED AS I CANNOT AFFORD THIS TYPE OF EXPENSE. I BASICALLY DRIVE ESTIMATING MY MILEAGE AFTER EVERY FILL UP WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. IN DECEMBER 2010, I GOT STRANDED BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED ON THE ENTRANCE HIGHWAY TO I-95 WITHOUT GAS, THANK GOD THAT I HAVE AAA. NOW I HEAR THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE GMC ENVOY FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS REGARDING THE SAME MATTER (SEE LINK BELOW) HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/GMC/ENVOY/FUEL+SYSTEM I ALSO SAW AN ARTICLE AT: (LINK BELOW REGARDING YOUR INVESTIGATION HTTP://NEWS.YAHOO.COM/S/NM/20110502/BS_NM/US_USA_AUTOS_PROBES I CONTACTED GMC WHO SAID THAT BECAUSE THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A SENSOR ISSUE (NOT A CLUSTER ISSUE) THEY CAN'T HELP. PLEASE HELP US. GMC SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. *TR

GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS OR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT KNOWING AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

OUR 2005 ENVOY HAD A GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTION AROUND 2 TO 3 YEARS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT AS BRAND NEW. GOOD THING IT WAS STILL COVERED BY OUR INSURANCE BUT AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE INSURANCE ANYMORE SINCE IT'S ALREADY PASS 3 YEARS. HAVING IT FIXED IS QUITE COSTLY. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE 285 PEOPLE WHO COMPLAINED ON THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO HOPE THAT GMC WILL DO A RECALL ON 2005 GMC ENVOYS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS SPECIFIC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH REPEATEDLY. ORIGINALLY IT ALWAYS SAID THAT I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS, BUT NOW IT TENDS TO READ THAT I AM ALMOST OUT OF GAS EVEN WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY XLT. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN INACCURATE EMPTY READING AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED THE FUEL FLOATER VALVE IN 2009 FOR THE EXACT FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

GMC ENVOY. GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK CAUSING THE CAR TO RUN OUT OF GAS OFTEN IN COLD WEATHER. CAR WOULD NOT START SEVERAL TIMES AND RAN OUT OF GAS ON HIGHWAY. *TR

PLEASE ADD OUR VEHICLE WITH A GAS GAUGE THAT IS FAULTY. CONDITION BEGAN LAST FALL AND WE JUST ESCAPED RUNNING OUT OF GAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. FUEL LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE FUEL IS EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY WHEN IN REALITY IT IS FULL OR NEAR FULL. JUST THE OPPOSITE HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHT INDICATES FUEL IS IN THE TANK WHEN IN REALITY, IT IS ALMOST EMPTY. OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WAS NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE REPAIR COULD APPROACH $150. WE NOW REFUEL WHEN THE TRIP ODOMETER HITS 300 OR SO MILES.

I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY AND FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE....I SAW ONLINE THAT A GOOD NUMBER OF OTHER GM OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY GAUGE JUST KEEPS READING EMPLTY TANK......EVEN WHEN TOTALLY FILLED, WILL RESET TO READ QUARTER OF TANK OF GAS WHEN IT'S STILL JUST ABOUT A FULL TANK OF FUEL. EITHER BAD SENSOR OR BRAIN BOX......MADE IN CHINA!!! ANY HELP ..[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD NOT RECORD AN ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL, DISPLAYING THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THAT THE REPAIRS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WOULD BE $500 AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ FULL WHEN THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED FOR THE FAILURE OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

FUEL GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. IS ALWAYS ON E. EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP.. GAS LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND DINGING. I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM IN ENVOYS AND I FEEL GMC SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. MILEAGE RANGE IS HUGE SO IT IS HARD TO TRAVEL AND KNOW WHEN TO GET GAS. ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN GAS STATIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS IN RANGE.

PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER 2005 GMC ENVOY - FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY - SOMETIMES - IT WILL TELL YOU HAVE MORE GAS - MOST TIMES IT READS EMPTY. I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON SAT 4/30/11 - STUCK GOING UP A HILLED ENTRANCE INTO A MALL. THERE IS NO ACCURATE WAY TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL LEFT IN TANK. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL FOR GMC INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEMS. ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD. *TR

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING. CAR CAN RUN OUT OF GAS UNLESS CAREFULLY MONITORED BY OPERATOR. GAUGE BECAME FAULTY WITH TIME WHEN CAR WAS 3.5 YEARS OLD. AT FIRST WHEN TANK WAS FILLED, THE EMPTY LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN SUDDENLY REGISTER AS FULL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES OF OPERATION. GAUGE NOW ONLY REGISTERS 1/4TH TANK OR NOT AT ALL AFTER TANK IS FILLED. WITHOUT CAREFUL WATCH, THE CAR COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON A HIGHWAY AND BE STRUCK OR CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. DEALER ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR = $650.00 AND STATED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I DO NOT WISH TO PAY THIS EXORBITANT AMOUNT FOR REPAIR. IT APPEARS FROM MY RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND RAMPANT WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DOES NOT WORK, INDICATING INCORRECT LEVELS OF GAS AVAILABLE IN VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

AT 65,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL AND HAS SINCE REMAINED THERE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER PAST FUEL GAUGE RECALLS, AND I REFUSE TO REWARD GMC FOR SUPPLYING FAULTY PRODUCT BY PAYING THE QUOTED $800-$1000 TO REPLACE IT. THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCES OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ARE EXTENSIVE, FROM SLOWING AND BEING REAR ENDED TO BEING HIT ALONGSIDE THE ROAD WHILE GOING FOR GAS. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY FAILED TO CORRECTLY REPORT THE QUANTITY OF GAS IN THE TANK STARTING AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. IT ALWAYS REPORTS A VALUE THAT I KNOW IS WILDLY INACCURATE, AND EVEN SETS OFF THE LOW FUEL ALARM WHEN I KNOW THE TANK IS NEARLY FULL. I STOPPED RELYING ON THE GAS GAUGE A LONG TIME AGO, BECAUSE THAT WOULD INEVITABLY LEAD TO THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL CAUSING VEHICLE STALL WITH NO RESTART, WITH OBVIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. INSTEAD, I FUEL THE VEHICLE ON THE BASIS OF NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN, AN INHERENTLY FLAWED METHOD WITH HIGHER PROBABILITY OF FAILURE. MY DEALER HAS ADVISED ME THAT REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $400.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, WHEN FILLING TANK, GUAGE GOES TO EMPTY, FUEL GAUGE IS UNRELIABLE, I'M AFRAID OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC.

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY'S GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN BROKE SINCE IT HAD 70,000 MILES. IT NOW HAS 104,000, BUT I HAVE BEEN TRACKING FILL UPS BY MILEAGE FOR OVER THREE YEARS NOW. EVERYONE I KNOW THAT HAS A TRAILBLAZER OR ENVOY HAS THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL GAGE STARTED TO READ INCORRECTLY AFTER FILLING TANK - INITIALLY WOULD DROP TO EMPTY AND THEN READ CORRECTLY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 100 MILES - NOW READS INCORRECTLY ALL THE TIME. AFTER FILLING IT WILL SHOW EMPTY AND WILL NEVER READ MORE A QUARTER TANK FULL. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY FUEL GAUGE INACCURACIES. HED TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR. AT DEALERSHIP. HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON VEHICLE WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP WITH THECOSTS OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF WORKING WITH THEM THEY DENIED MY REQUEST. HAD TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS AND THEINSTALL OF THE PART WHICH CAME TO APPROX. $450.00. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK BEFORE HEADING OUT OF TOWN ON 4/22/11, FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY. GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY FOR THE PAST WEEK NOW. NEWS REPORT OF NHTSA INVESTIGATION MADE ME AWARE THAT I COULD REPORT THIS SOMEWHERE. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAS ALSO BEEN ACTING SIMILARLY ERRATIC, STARTING A FEW DAYS BEFORE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING.

SPEEDOMETER JUMPS FROM 120 TO WHEREVER. CAN NEVER TELL HOW FAST OR SLOW I'M GOING. NEVER DISPLAYS CORRECT SPEED. OIL PRESSURE GAGE GOES UP AND DOWN. ALSO, HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. HAD TO TAKE TO MECHANIC TO REDO WIRING FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS. *TR

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE RESULTED IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY; ONE OF THE EVENTS NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.

FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2005 ENVOY QUIT WORKING AFTER A FULL TANK OF GAS WAS PUT IN. THE GAGE GOES UP AND DOWN AT ITS OWN WILL. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENSORY PROBLEM AND WOULD COST AROUND $600 TO FIX. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC VEHICLES. ON ONE SITE ALONE I FOUND 500+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I THINK ITS TIME FOR A RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ERRATIC AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. KNEW IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. LIVED ON RESETTING TRIP ODOMETER EVERY 200 MILES AND WOULD FILL UP. THIS INCONVENIENCE LASTED TWO YEARS UNTIL CONSTANT AUDIO AND VISUAL LOW FUEL SIGNALS. ENDED UP PAYING $450 FOR REPAIR. COMPLETELY CONFIDENT THAT GM KNEW THE ORIGINAL WAS FAULTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK MY SPEED AND WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER READING 120 MPH. WHILE DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT WAS SETTLED IN 2008 BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED AS COVERED IN THE SUIT. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED AS MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE ONES COVERED IN THE SETTLEMENT. UNDER THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT GM WOULD PROVIDE THE CLUSTER AT NO COST TO ME AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LABOR COST.

FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AFTER FILL UP. MOVES FROM EMPTY, TO 1/2 FULL, TO 1/4 FULL TO EMPTY, BACK TO 1/4 FULL, BACK TO EMPTY. I CAN'T DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS IN MAY TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ENVOY AND CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. THERE IS NO WARNING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL OR SUGGESTION THAT THE GAUGE AND SENSORS BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR - BETWEEN $600 AND $900.

I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON FUEL, BUT IN REALITY, THE VEHICLE WAS FULL OF GASOLINE. I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAUGE WILL DISPLAY HALF OF A TANK. WHEN HALF OF A TANK OF FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE DISPLAYS THAT IT IS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,500. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. SPEEDOMETER IS READING 120 MPH AT ALL TIMES. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INOPERATIVE. SPEEDOMETER PEGGED AND ALL OTHER INSTRUMENTS EXCEPT THE TACHOMETER MALFUNCTION. *TR

TL* THE OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT SPEED HE WAS TRAVELING, THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK, THE OIL LEVELS, BATTERY LEVEL AND VEHICLE TEMPERATURE, ALL OF WHICH THE GAUGES FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND BELIEVED THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
