2006 GMC Envoy complaints

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON THE FL TPKE. IN MY 2006 GMC ENVOY ON 11/8/11 JUST SOUTH OF ORLANDO AT 9:30 PM WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME JAMMED ON THE BREAKS BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM WAS DRIVING UNSAFELY. WHEN I JAMMED ON MY BRAKES THE ABS DID NOT FUNCTION AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. I WAS SWERVING VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE ACROSS THE TWO LANE HIGHWAY UNTIL I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL WITH MUCH PHYSICAL EFFORT. I THOUGHT I WAS A DEAD MAN BUT I SURVIVED. THANK GOD THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT 70 MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID STRIKING THE OTHER TWO VEHICLES IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS TIRE SMOKE EVERYWHERE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. GMC NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

FUEL SENSOR OUT. THIS IS THE 2ND GMC I HAVE OWNED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH. THE FIRST WAS A 2005 GMC ENVOY SLT. *TR

MY 2006 GMC ENVOY FUEL LEVEL GAUGE HAS STARTED READING EMPTY AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. I HAVE BEEN USING MY ODOMETER TO KEEP TRACK OF MILES SINCE LAST FILL UP. IT HAS BEEN GIVING SPORADIC READINGS AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED. THIS COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I WAS TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC OR ON SOME LONELY ROAD IN THE COUNTRY AT NIGHT. GM IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION BUT IS ONLY OFFERING TO PAY 50% AT THEIR EXHORBINATE SERVICE RATES. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS FAULTY AS IT PROVIDES INACCURATE AND RANDOM FUEL LEVEL READINGS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE HAS FAILED. IT READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, AND THE PLACES WILLING TO REPAIR IT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. THE DEALERSHIP IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE IN THIS AREA. I UNDERSTAND MANY, IF NOT MOST ENVOYS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CAN BE DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY HERE IN FAIRBANKS, ALASKA, WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS EASILY -40 AND SOMETIMES COLDER. THAT IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR A FUEL SITUATION OCCURRING IS SOMETHING THAT A PERSON IS GOING TO EASILY NAVIGATE DURING AT LEAST EIGHT MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. *TR

FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING. FUEL GAGE NEEDLE STAYED ON E AFTER FILLING UP. STALLED IN LEFT LANE OF INTERSTATE 80 IN DENVILLE,NEW JERSEY WITH MY TWO DAUGHTERS. THEIR AGES AT TIME OF INCIDENT WERE EIGHT AND ELEVEN. ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY TRACTOR TRAILERS. ALL THREE OF WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THE TRUCK DRIVER HAD NOT BEEN ALERT AND SWERVED TO AVOID US AS I SLOWED AND NAVIGATED TO RIGHT SHOULDER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. THIS HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DUE TO THE GAUGE TELLING ME I HAD MORE FUEL THAN I ACTUALLY HAD. *KB

MY 2006 ENVOY'S FUEL SENSOR GUAGE ABRUPTLY QUIT WORKING BY ORIGINALLY, RANDOMLY INDICATING IMPROPER TANK VOLUME. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THE FUEL GUAGE IS PERMANENTLY STUCK ON EMPTY AND MY FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE ONBOARD COMPUTER CONSTANTLY CHIMES AND ADVISES MY FUEL LEVEL IS LOW. I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT PROVIDED MY VEHICLE IS DISPLAYING THE SIGNS OF THE PROBLEM (IT IS) I COULD TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND I WOULD ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 50% OF THE REPAIR BILL. I FIND THIS ABSURED! WHY SHOULD I PAY TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM? WHY ISN'T THIS A FULL RECALL? I FEEL GM SHOULD PAY FOR THE ENTIRE BILL TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR AND AM REQUESTING ASSISTANCE. *TT

BEGINNING ON 08-20-2011 MY 2006 ENVOY BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF ITS WIPERS AND SPRAYING WINDSHIELD WASHING FLUID EVERYWHERE. IT NOW DOES THIS REGULARLY EVERYDAY IT IS DRIVEN. MAKES IT HARD TO SEE AT TIMES. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A GARAGE YET, WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AS I'M SURE THIS WILL NOT BE CHEAP TO FIX :( *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY WITH 46,952 MILES ON IT. ONE DAY IN APRIL 2011, WITH A 3/4 TANK OF GAS, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED UNEXPECTEDLY TO EMPTY. THE BELLS STARTED GOING OFF THE MESSAGES CAME ON THE DASH, THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS LITERALLY SCARED ME TO DEATH. I THOUGHT THE GAS TANK HAD RUPTURED AND THAT ALL MY GAS HAD LEAKED OUT. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I MADE IT TO WORK AND IMMEDIATELY LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS LEAKING. THERE WAS NOTHING. I WENT INTO WORK AND WORRIED ALL DAY ABOUT HOW I WAS GOING TO GET TO A GAS STATION. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO GO HOME, I STARTED THE ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGE READ BACK TO THE 3/4 FULL TANK. I STARTED ON MY WAY HOME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAUGE DROPPED AGAIN. EVER SINCE THAT DAY, EVERY TIME WE START THE ENVOY, THE GAUGE WILL NOT READ PAST "EMPTY" AND THE WARNING BELLS/MESSAGES COME ON ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES, SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I'M JUST DRIVING TO WORK. IT CAME TO THE POINT WHERE WE DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE MUCH ANYMORE. WITH WINTER COMING, I HAVE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AS I NEED A DEPENDABLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PROBLEM IS A FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. WHATEVER IT IS, WE FEEL THAT GM SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR US AND VERY SOON. WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND AS I AM VERY UNNERVED ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION. THANK YOU *TR

ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY MY GAS TANK WAS READING BETWEEN 1/4 AND A 1/2 TANK OF GAS, SO I STOPPED TO FILL UP. ONCE I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON ALONG WITH THE FUEL GAUGE BEING ON EMPTY. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF I DID AND THE LIGHTS BOTH STAYED ON. I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS TANK STARTED TO RISE UP TO 1/2 A TANK TO FULL. THEN ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY IT WENT BACK DOWN TO EMPTY AND THEN STARTED GOING BACK UP AND DOWN FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE BEFORE, SO WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS VERY SURPRISED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLES FUEL LEVEL WAS AT CAPACITY. THE MECHANIC STATED THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM - GMC ENVOY. *TR

THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL BECOMING STRANDED, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMAC ENVOY - 49,000 MILES - ONE MONTH AGO THE GAS GAUGE STARTED MOVING ON IT'S OWN, I WOULD FILL UP AND WILL SHOW FULL AS I AM DRIVING IT WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY AND THEN SLOWLY MOVE TO FULL AND THEN BACK TO 1/2 TANK AND THE EMPTY WHICH MAKES THE LIGHT AND BELL COME ON. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT WILL THEN GO BACK TO FULL OR STAY ON EMPTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD I NEVER KNOW IF I AM RUNNING LOW ON GAS AND WILL BE STANDARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR IS IT ABOUT TO STALL OUT WHICH COULD CAUSE A WRECK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING. THE VEHICLE THEN SUDDENLY STALLED DUE TO THE LACK OF FUEL PRESENT IN THE FUEL TANK. THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DISPENSED THE REQUIRED FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP10001 WHICH CLOSED AND A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION HAD BEEN OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 81,000.

2006 GMC ENVOY: FUEL TANK SENSOR SHOWS FUEL THEN DOESN'T, BOUNCES BACK & FORTH. I DRIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND AM NOW VERY PARANOID THAT MY CAR WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AND LEAVE ME STRANDED ON A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY....VERY DANGEROUS. MECHANIC SAYS ERROR CODE IS PO463. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ALONE NOW... SO I STOP GONG DOWN & THEN BACK UP THE HILL JUST IN CASE I CAN PUT IN MORE GASOLINE. MY CAR ALSO HAS A DRIVERS' SIDE MASTER CONTROL WINDOW THAT BURNED.... COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. WHEN MY MECHANIC TOOK IT APART, HE SHOWED ME THE BURNED AREAS,... SMELLS BAD. *TR

HELLO, I WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. I'VE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY FUEL GAUGE, WHEN I FILL UP MY GAUGE SAYS I'M EMPTY AND THEN SLOWLY CREEPS BACK UP TO FULL, HOWEVER, IT THEN FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY AND NEVER GIVES AN ACCURATE READING. I FEEL THIS CAN CAUSE A HUGE ISSUE FOR PEOPLE IF THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR GAUGE ISN'T ACCURATE. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY ALWAYS REGISTERS AT "E." I HAVE TALKED TO GMC AND THERE IS NO HELP WITH THIS SITUATION THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME THING. WHEN I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY WERE RUDE TO ME AND DIDN'T GIVE ME A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT NUMBER. I AM HAVING TO GAGE MY GAS BY KEEPING TRACK OF THE MILEAGE THROUGH THE TRIP-OMETER. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

WELL DOCUMENTED ELSEWHERE--FUEL GAUGE FAILURE IN GMC ENVOY, VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO MY GAS GAUGE STARTED TO ACT UP. IT WAS NOT REGISTERING THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN MY FUEL TANK. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN STRANDED DUE TO NO GAS AND I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AT A CRITICAL TIME AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT! I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND HANDLED. *TR

WELL I HAVE A 2006 ENVOY, THE BATTERY HAND BOUNCES BETWEEN 0-14 VOLTS REPLACED THE BATTERY,HAD THE ALTER NATOR CHECKED AND ITS FINE. I TALKED TO THE GUY AT A GMC DEAL HE SAID ITS THE DASHBOARD SWITCHES.. AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, HE SAID ITS A SENSOR OR THE DASH PANEL. WHO KNOWS. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THRU AL THIS HASSEL. I WANT MINE FIXED....... *TR

FILLED FUEL TANK UNTIL PUMP CLICKED OFF. AS SOON AS I STARTED VEHICLE, FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO BELOW E AND LIGHT, BUZZER SOUNDED ALERTING ME LOW FUEL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PREPARING TO LEAVE ON VACATION SO I DROVE TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL GM SUVS. HE THOUGHT AS LONG AS I SET MY TRIP (SO AS NOT TO RUN OUT OF GAS), I WOULD BE FINE ON TRIP. ONE YEAR LATER, I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED(HOPED I COULD WAIT GM OUT), THE PROBLEM IS A BIT WORSE IN THAT THE GAUGE JUMPS AROUND AND FUEL EMPTY BUZZER GOES ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME .. VERY ANNOYING. GM SAYS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SO NO RECALL ???? WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. CHECK OUT THE INTERNET ,, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE THOUSANDS IF EVERYONE WOULD REPORT THE PROBLEMS. WHY NOT TRACK HOW MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN SOLD RATHER THAN COMPLAINTS. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING. I GUESS WHY RECALL AS LONG AS THEY CAN MAKE MONEY.

2006 GMC ENVOY RAN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY ROAD GOING TO WORK WHILE THE GAS GAUGE READ THAT THERE WAS GAS IN THE VEHICLE. *TT

THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO THE LACK OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE LACK OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE.

2006 GMC ENVOY FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT RECORDING PROPERLY. FLUCTUATES FROM EMPTY TO FULL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE ESCAPING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE, LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE RESISTER AND MOTOR WIRES WERE MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS OR REPAIRS.

MY '06 ENVOY SLT FUEL GAUGE STOPPING WORKING APPROX A MONTH AGO. WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK THE GAUGE STILL INDICATES EMPTY. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD GO FROM EMPTY TO FULL, THEN BACK DOWN TO HALF A TANK. IT DID THAT FOR A MONTH OR SO EVEN AFTER WE WOULD FILL IT UP. NOW IT JUST STAYS ON EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS RAN ON IT AND IT WAS THE FUEL SENSING UNIT. NOW MORE RECENTLY IT WILL JUST DIE AND STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. ITS DONE THAT TWICE NOW IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, ONCE WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH MY WIFE, LUCKILY THEY WERE CLOSE TO A SAFE AREA TO COAST INTO. I KNOW THAT THE TANK HAD GAS IN IT, WE RESET THE TRIP EVERYTIME WE FILL UP AND THAT'S ALL WE DO SO WE CAN HAVE AN ACCURATE READING, WE USUALLY GO AROUND 360 MILES BEFORE WE FILL UP AGAIN. THE FIRST STALL WE HAVE ONLY GONE AROUND 230 MILES. SO GAS WAS IN THE TANK. WE HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO REPLACE IT YET FOR FINANCIAL REASONS, BUT AS IT KEEPS STALLING WE MAY NEED TO DO SOMETHING SOON, ITS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I'VE HAD IT ESTIMATED AT $750. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AND SHOWS THAT I HAVE NO GAS AT ALL. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GAS LEVEL INDICATOR MOVES BACK AND FORTH GIVING INACCURATE AND RANDOM READINGS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T ACTUALLY TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. I WIND UP HAVING TO FILL THE TANK EVERYDAY TO KNOW THAT THERE'S A FULL TANK. *TR

WHEN I FILLED UP GAS TANK, THE GAS GAUGE WAS READING COMPLETELY EMPTY, THE LOW FUEL ALARM WAS SOUNDING AND MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY STALLED IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THIS. ONCE I USED APPROX 2 GALLONS OF GAS, THE GAUGE WOULD REPEATEDLY GO UP AND DOWN. IF IT WAS STUCK AT EMPTY, THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND DANGEROUS ONE. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS

TL* THE CONTACTS OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAGE INDICATED INACCURATE LEVELS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 71,223. UPDATED 08/01/11*LJ UPDATED 08/11/11

I HAD A CRASH AT 45 MPH INTO A LARGE TREE $9000+ DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY CAR AND THE AIRBAG NEVER WENT OFF. ONSTAR WAS CALLED AND HELPED ME.

WHILE DRIVING GMC ENVOY WIPERS MOVE BY THEMSELVES. THEN STOP AFTER A MIN. OR SO! AS WE PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WATER SPRAYS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS MOVE CONSTANTLY BY THEMSELVES. ALL OF THESE FACTORS CREATE HORRIBLE VISABILITY! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY. TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK THE GAUGE INDICATED NO FUEL, AND THEN IT WOULD FLUCTUATE, FROM FULL TO EMPTY. NOW IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. THE GAS TANK IS FULL AND READS EMPTY, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN IT READS I HAVE HALF A TANK, THEN NO GAS AND BACK UP TO FULL. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE PROBLEMS AND HOPE THERE WILL BE A RECALL SOON ON THIS. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, I DO NOT GET AN ACCURATE READING. WHEN IT'S 70 DEGREES OUT, IT READS -34 DEGREES. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY BLOWER, THE HIGHEST LEVEL DOES NOT WORK. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS GAS IN THE ENVOY. THIS STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE ENVOY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS OUT ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP THE TANK. THE GAUGE SOMETIMES READS FULL WHEN THE TANK IS CLOSE TO EMPTY. AT TIMES IT WILL READ EMPTY WHEN IT'S FULL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS PROVIDING INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND WOULD DISPLAY THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY WHEN IT WAS NOT. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT BUT PROGRESSIVELY OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

GMC ENVOY 2006 FUEL GAUGE BAD READING, MY CAR RAN OUT GAS WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE SHOW FULL. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR QUIT WORKING

THE FUEL SENSOR ON OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY FAILED IN SEPTEMBER 2010. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS JUST BEEN FILLED UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. WE MUST USE OUR TRIP TO KEEP TRACK OF MILEAGE TO LET US KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO FILL UP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS YOU NEVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK AND BECAUSE THE GAS MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE FLUCTUATES FROM 15MPG-18MPG. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WE ARE NOT SURE IF IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL SENSOR OR BECAUSE OF ANOTHER PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT MANY GMC ENVOYS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND RECENTLY WE READ AN ARTICLE STATING THAT GMC IS LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PROBLEMS ARE REPORTED AS WELL. *TR

PROBLEM WITH MY GAS GAUGE IN JUST TURNED 40,000 MI. ADD FUEL LIGHT COMES ON EVEN AFTER FILL UP. ALSO GAUGE GOES BACK AND FORTH DURING OPERATION OF THE CAR. WHEN THE GAUGE HITS EMPTY A BELL GOES OFF AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT GOES ON. EVENTUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO GO ON INDICATING THERE IS AN ISSUE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BREAKING DOWN AND CONSIDER IT A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE. LOCAL GMC DEALER HAS NO CLUE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH GAS GAUGES. TRIED TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM BUT JUST GOT WORSE DECIDED TO GET IT FIXED $900. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS NOW ALWAYS ON EMPTY STALLED RIGHT AT THE GAS STATION MY BLOWER FOR HEATING AND AIR ONLY WORKS ON 3 OF 5 LEVELS. *TR

GAS GAUGE FAILED TO WORK CORRECTLY. IT WOULD READ EMPTY AFTER JUST FILLING UP, SOMETIMES IT WOULD APPEAR TO WORK AND SHOW THERE WAS MORE OR LESS GAS THAN THERE ACTUALLY WAS. RAN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES, DUE TO FAILURE OF THE GAS GAUGE. FINALLY HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED (SOME SORT OF SENSOR), COST A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE.
