2005 GMC Envoy complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WOULD INACCURATELY READ FUEL LEVELS AND WOULD OFTEN READ EMPTY WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND MY BLOWER FAN STOPPED WORKING. AT FIRST I COULDN'T SEE VERY GOOD OUT MY WINDOW AND MY HEADLAMPS STARTED DIMMING. THERE IS AN OVERLOAD SOMEONE NEAR THE BLOWER AND MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE YOU NEED HEAT AND LIGHT TO SEE WHEN YOU DRIVE AND WITHOUT IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I WAS DOWN IN A DITCH WHEN MINE WENT OUT AND THANK GOD SOMEONE WAS WATCHING OVER ME. THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR A NICE VEHICLE THEIR SHOULD BE NO DEFECTS WITH UNDER A 100,000 MILES. I HAVE STILL FROM THIS DAY HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE MY TRUCK PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE BREAK MY BUDGET. *TR

2005 ENVOY FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. NOT COVERED BY BULLETIN: GM SPEEDOMETER "SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT" 07187A 07187B. JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. *TR

FUEL SENSOR STARTED MESSING UP, NOT READING GAS CORRECTLY. NOW IF WILL NOT MOVE WHEN GAS IS FILLED UP. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INOP. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION AFTER 3RD YEAR; FUEL METER NO LONGER WORKS. DEALER WANTED $400 TO REPAIR. DEALER WANTED $1600 TO REPLACE AIR INJECTION UNIT AND FUEL SENSOR AND THERMOMETER SO CAR COULD PASS INSPECTION. I HAD ALL THE ITEMS REPAIRED AND ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. IT HAS APPROX 60K MILES. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR AIR INJECTION UNIT STATING IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I PURCHASED CAR IT CAME WITH 100K WARRANTY FOR DRIVE TRANE. AFTER TAKING TO CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC WHO FIXED EVERYTHING ON LIST THE CAR STILL WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE AIR INJECTION UNIT CONTINUES TO TAKE ON WATER. THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND GM SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET IT REPAIRED THEREFORE, I AM SUBJECT TO GET A TICKET. I STILL OWE MONEY AND CANNOT TRADE IT IN. HOW MUCH LONGER ARE AMERICAN MADE CAR MANUFACTURERS GOING TO SCREW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!??? I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE CAR AS LONG AS I LIVE!!! I HAVE NOT EVEN MENTIONED THE FACT THAT THE CAR LOSS COMPLETE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MILES/HOUR ON THE TRNPK. EVERYTHING SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. I COULD NOT STEER. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CURVES AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO SIDE OF ROAD AS THE CAR SLOWLY CAME TO A HALT! THERE MUST BE A LAW AGAINST THIS!!! WHAT RECOURSE DO I (WE) HAVE???? *TR

2005 ENVOY, FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY BECAME ERRATIC, READING EMPTY WHEN TANK WAS FULL. INITIALLY, AFTER FILLING TANK, FUEL GAUGE WOULD CONTINUE TO READ EMPTY UNTIL DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MILES. NOW RARELY READS ABOVE EMPTY. GAS GAUGE IS NOW COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE, HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF RUNNING THE CAR OUT OF GAS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING CORRECT RAN OUT OF GAS. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING PERIODICALLY. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND THEN DAYS LIKE TODAY, IT GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO 120 MPH WHEN I AM ONLY GOING 50-55 MPH! *TR

I HAVE GMC ENVOY 2005. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. BASICALLY SOMETIMES IT GETS STUCK PAST 120, SOMETIMES AT 0 OR IN BETWEEN. I COULD BE DRIVING 30 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE SHOWING 110 MPH. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON GMC 2005 ENVOY, BUT THE COMPANY IS ONLY TAKING A RESPONSIBILITY ON MODELS 2002-2004. I HAVE CALLED AROUND DEALER SHOP AND THEY SAID GMC IS ONLY WILLING TO FIX IF THE CAR IS BETWEEN 2002 AND 2005, EVENTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. ALMOST ABOUT EVERYONE I TALKED TO, WHO OWNS GMC ENVOY 2005 INDICATED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I REALLY THINK GMC SHOULD OWN TO ITS DEFECT AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE THAT SWINGS BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY - THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST REQUIRED A REPLACEMENT OF THE IN TANK SENDING UNIT. *TR

WHEN I FILL IT COMPLETELY FULL WITH GAS ON MY 2005 ENVOY IT SAYS THAT ITS EMPTY. I HAVE TO DRIVE ALMOST 50 MILES OR MORE FOR IT TO REGISTER RIGHT. ALSO ONE TIME WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING STALL IT JUST QUIT NOT VERY SAFE I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. *TR

IN REFERENCE TO DP10-001. I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS AN ERRATIC GAS GAUGE AS WELL. AFTER RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY AND ILLUMINATE THE EMPTY TANK WARNING LIGHT. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES, THE GAUGE WILL RETURN TO THE FULL POSITION, BUT WILL FLUCTUATE OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS POSSIBLE FAULTY SENDING UNIT, FAULTY GAUGE AND FAULTY SENSORS ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE IS ON EMPTY. THE "LOW FUEL' INDICATOR ON THE DASH WILL BLINK RANDOMLY AND "DING" TO DRAW MY ATTENTION TO IT. THE GAS CAP WAS REPLACED A WEEK LATER BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. IT CONTINUES TO READ "EMPTY." SINCE THEN THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. THE SPEEDOMETER HAND HAS COMPLETELY DROPPED BELOW THE 120 MPH MARK, ALTHOUGH FOR A FEW WEEKS IT WOULD REGISTER THAT I WAS DRIVING MUCH FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC AROUND ME. MOREOVER, IT WOULD REGISTER 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. YET, IT HAS SINCE STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO RECENTLY STALLED IN REVERSE AND SEVERAL TIMES HAS SURGED/ACCELERATED QUICKLY WHEN I AM DRIVING SLOWLY AND PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAVE CALLED THE NATIONAL GMC DEALER TO DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINT(S). *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO BECOME ERRATIC IN NOVEMBER OF 09. AT THAT TIME IT WOULD WORK SOME TIMES AND NOT OTHERS. AFTER A FEW WEEKS IT STOPPED WORKING IN ANY MANNER AND CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN, CAUSING THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR TO GO ON AND OFF. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS JUST BEEN FILLED WITH GAS AND THE GAS CAP TIGHTENED. THE ONLY WAY TO MONITOR GAS AT THIS TIME IS THROUGH TRACKING MILEAGE. VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHEN IDLE. THE STALLING IS NOTED TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY THE LONGER THIS GOES UNREPAIRED. STALLING AT LIGHTS, IN PARKING LOTS AND WHILE BACKING UP PUTS US AT RISK OF BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALSO THE INABILITY TO ACCURATELY MONITOR THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE PUTS MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF BEING STRANDED WHILE TRAVELING. THE ONLY OTHER PERSON I KNOW WITH THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. CORRECTION IS REPLACEMENT OF THE PART WHICH IS BETWEEN $600 AND $800. *TW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. HE STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH OR VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE HIGH BEAMS IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHICH DISTRACTS DRIVERS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58000.

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

SPEEDOMETER FAILED. IT NOW EITHER DISPLAYS NO SPEED OR AN INACCURATE READING. *TR

NEVER HAD FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS BEFORE, FILLED MY TANK, DROVE AWAY FROM GAS STATION AND WITHIN ONE MILE, THE FUEL BELL WENT OFF AND THE WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON. WENT BACK TO GAS STATION THINKING I HAD BEEN RIPPED OFF, BUT OWNER SHOWED ME ON GAS PUMP THAT IT HAD PUMPED $60 WORTH OF GAS. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, THE WARNING LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I'VE BEEN GIVEN QUOTES TO FIX IT RANGING FROM $400 TO $600. WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS, GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX FOR EVERYONE FREE. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY. COMING TO A STOP, PUT FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL, FOOT SLIPPED OFF, CAR CONTINUED MOVING INTO PASSING CAR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED JULY , 2009 BUT WITH MORE DAMAGE. PRIOR TO THESE INCIDENTS, HAD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN FEET SLIPPED. [2 DIFFERENT DRIVERS] PEDAL IS EITHER WRONG SIZE, MATERIAL, OR PLACED IN WRONG PLACE. AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW, IT IS PARKED IN GARAGE. YOUR FORM DOES NOT ALLOW FOR "BRAKE PEDAL" . I MARKED SERVICE BRAKES, BUT IT WASN'T THE BRAKES. *TR

I OWN A 2005 GMC ENVOY AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS BUT SINCE THEY HAD REMOVED THE BATTERY AND RE-CONNECTED IT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD WORK CORRECTLY. I WORKED CORRECTLY FOR 2 DAYS. *TR

2005 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. CAR HAD 42000 MILES WHEN IT QUIT. CAR NOW HAS 50200 MILES ON IT. GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AND SOMETIMES WILL FLOAT JUST ABOVE EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. CAR HAS LEFT FAMILY ALONG SIDE ROAD WHILE WAITING FOR HELP. SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE IS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. *TR UPDATED 02/01/10 *BF UPDATED 02/02/10.*JB

FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AND WARNING SOUND CONTINUES AFTER FILLING UP. THE GAS GAUGE STAYS ON AND THE WARNING SIGNAL CONTINUES TO CHIME AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER CONSTANTLY SHOWS DIFFERENT SPEEDS. WILL BE DRIVING DOWN EXPRESSWAY AT 65MPH AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT SHOWS 90MPH SO YOU SLOW DOWN 65 AGAIN AND REALIZE THAT EVERYONE FLIES BY. THE BEST I CAN FIGURE IS IT WILL SUDDENLY SHOW A DIFFERENT SPEED THAN ONE IS ACTUALLY GOING FROM 20MPH LESS TO 40MPH MORE. DIFFERENT EVERY TIME. *TR

THERE WAS IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES GAVE OUT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. IT RESEMBLED THE CAR RUNNING OUT OF GAS WITHOUT DOING SO. AFTER I PULLED OFF THE ROAD WITH GREAT DIFFICULTIES, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE GOT STUCK IN IT. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AFTER THIS OCCURRED AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. THERE IS NO RELEASE SWITCH WHICH THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THERE SHOULD BE SO HE COULD GET IT ONTO THE TRUCK, SO THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE DRUG WITH THE WHEELS LOCKED ONTO THE FLATBED AND THEN PUSHED OFF IN THE SAME MANNER. WE PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED AND IT HAS NOW HAPPENED AGAIN 5 MONTHS LATER. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS ONLINE AND IT IS NOT JUST WITH THE GMC ENVOY DENALI IT ALSO INCLUDES THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND POSSIBLY OTHER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY GM. THERE WAS ONE PERSON ONLINE THAT SAID THEY KEEP SPARE IGNITION SWITCHES IN THE VEHICLE AND THE TOOLS TO SWAP IT OUT BECAUSE OF HOW FREQUENTLY IT HAPPENS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PART AND IT IS NOT AVAILABLE AS FAR AS I KNOW, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT RETURNED TO ME. THE VEHICLE WAS A 2005 GMC ENVOY DENALI. *TR

2005 GMC SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. STOPS WORKING AND GETS STUCK ON THE 120MILES POINT EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND NOT JUST DRIVING. OCCURS AFTER ABOUT A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND, AFTER ONLINE AND OFFLINE RESEARCH, IT TURNS OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THESE PROBLEM WITH SOME GMC TRUCKS, ESPECIALLY THE GMC ENVOYS MODELS. AND GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING OR REFUSING TO FIX IT SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY RECALLS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE EVEN LAWSUITS IN SOME STATES ABOUT THIS. MY TRUCK IS NOT EVEN OLD ONLY 52,000 MILES AND I DON'T DRIVE A LOT JUST TO WORK AND HOME. *TR

THIS PROBLEM NOTED BELOW IS VERY VERY COMMON IN BOTH CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS AND GMC ENVOYS. HERE'S ONE LINK WITH OVER 200 DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TH8JI6TEPO3VRJI3D PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY WIDESPREAD AND HAS POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS DUE TO CARS STALLING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I KNOW PERSONALLY AS MINE HAS. PLEASE READ ON.THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP! 1.) FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED. FOR TWO WEEKS GAUGE WOULD START TO MOVE TOWARDS EMPTY WHEN IN FACT TANK IS FULL. THEN GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL OR SHOWS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME, THEN GAUGE MOVES SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE POINT WHERE LOW FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING DINGS FREQUENTLY AS IT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK. 2.) MY ENVOY STOPPED RUNNING IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD TO COAST TO SHOULDER IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. CAR DID START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES COMPUTER RESET. 3.) I HAVE MY CAR AT THE SHOP NOW. INITIAL CODE INDICATES FUEL PUMP ISSUE. FROM READING ALL OF THE POSTED COMPLAINTS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY 2005 GMC ENVOY WITH GAS THE FUEL GAUGE STAYS ON E, SOMETIMES IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO UP TO 1/4 TANK BUT ALWAYS DROPS BACK DOWN. THIS CREATES A PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY KNOW WHEN MY TANK IS EMPTY, ALWAYS GUESSING ON WHEN I NEED TO FILL UP. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ABOUT $600 TO FIX, IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND NOT A RECALL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS LIKE THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND I FEEL LIKE GMC SHOULD DO A RECALL TO FIX THIS. THIS IS NOT A "NORMAL" WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT READS EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER GETTING GAS. THE GAUGE MOVES UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING GAS. I HAD THE DEALER FIX THIS IN 02/08. IT IS ALREADY BROKEN AGAIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND LOST THE DRIVE GEAR AND HAD TO DOWN SHIFT TO 2ND GEAR ALTHOUGH I OWNED AN AUTOMATIC CAR. I ONLY HAD A CAR WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT COULD BE MY TRANSMISSION ALREADY. I WAS ABLE TO UP SHIFT TO DRIVE BUT ONLY AFTER GOING INTO 2. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY UNCLES HOUSE, HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS LIKELY GONE. *TR

REAR SUSPENSION ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY DENALI HAS AN AIR LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM. IT CONTINUOUSLY DEFLATES. MANUFACTURES OWNERS MANUAL SAYS AFTER 3 DAYS OF NON-USE WILL IT DEFLATE. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR COMPRESSOR STARTS INTERMITTENTLY TO INFLATE IT BACK UP. THIS STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2008, AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AND AT ANY TIME CAN SHOW THAT I'M DOING 70 WHEN I AM STOPPED, BE PEGGED, OR SOMETIMES IT WORKS. I HAVE TO USE MY GPS TO DETERMINE MY SPEED. I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAD HEARD THAT THERE WAS FOR VEHICLES UP TO 7 YEARS OLD OR UP TO 70,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER. *TR

PROBLEM JUST STARTED WITH NO WARNING. SPEEDOMETER READS 60 MPH WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED WITH ENGINE OFF. WHEN YOU CRANK THE VEHICLE. SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR DROPS DOWN APPROX. 5 MPH (55 MPH) THEN WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR (NEEDLE) GOES PAST THE 120 READING ON THE SPEEDOMETER. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT DETERMINE THE TRUE SPEED VEHICLE IS REALLY GOING . VEHICLE ODOMETER AND TRIP ODOMETER ARE NOT AFFECTED (CHECKED BY MILE MARKER ON INTERSTATE). FAILURE IS CONSISTENCE . OCCURS EVERYTIME VEHICLE IS OPERATED. NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID (NO RECALL) . VEHICLE HAS APPROX 52,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE ENVOY BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AT APPROXIMATELY 58, 000 MILES WHEN THE GAS TANK BEGAN READING EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK. EVENTUALLY, AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM IF I PAID FOR HALF OF THE REPAIRS. I REFUSED. LATER, AT APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, JUST RECENTLY IT WAS STUCK AT 120 MPH EVEN IN PARK. NOW, THE BATTERY GAUGE HAS BEGUN TO MALFUNCTION. THE BATTERY CHARGE RANGES FROM THE LOWEST TO THE HIGHEST WITH NO REAL RHYME OR REASON. IT IS APPARENT BY READING ON THE INTERNET FORUMS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PRODUCT DEFECT AS IT HAPPENS TO MANY, MANY GMC OWNERS, ESPECIALLY 2002-2005 ENVOY OWNERS. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH GMC DIRECTLY AND RECEIVED RESPONSES THAT ARE NOT SATISFACTORY. THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE A RECALL EFFORT AND REPAIRED BY GMC AS THEY ARE CLEARLY PRODUCT DEFAULT NOT JUST GENERAL WARE AND TEAR OF THE VEHICLE. THESE PROBLEMS ARE COSTLY AND PRESENT SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT DROVE TO A GAS STATION TO FILL UP THE TANK; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY TAKE $10 WORTH OF FUEL. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT 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. THE CONTACT 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 HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT IS HAVING A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND THE SENDER UNIT. APPARENTLY NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE ON THEIR GM SUVS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SO CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE MANUFACTURERS FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. *TR
