2006 GMC Envoy complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND WOULD DISPLAY THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL WHEN IN ACTUALITY, IT WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED IN 2009 FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. AFTER DRIVING 30-50 MILES, FUEL GAGE APPEARS NORMAL. THIS STARTED ABOUT 30 DAYS AGO. MORE RECENTLY, HOWEVER, FUEL GAUGE IS INCONSISTENT EVEN AFTER THE 30+ MILES. SOME TIMES IT SHOWS FULL, ONE HALF. I MUST REFUEL VEHICLE MORE OFTEN TO BE SURE THERE IS FUEL IN THE TANK. *TR

I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THE NHTSA HAD OPENED AN INVESTIGATION CONCERNING 2006 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE PROBLEMS. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHERS WITH THE GAUGE FLUCTUATING. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE STRANDED. I HAVE 53000 MILES ON MY ENVOY AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. *TR

FUEL GAGE IN OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY FIRST BECAME ERRATIC THEN FAILED. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL REPUTABLE REPAIR FACILITY. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SENDING UNIT ON THE FUEL PUMP IS KNOWN TO FAIL IN THIS VEHICLE. HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP (I WAS TOLD FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT WERE ONE PIECE). THE FUEL GAGE BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN ONCE FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT WERE REPLACED. THE TOTAL REPAIR WAS EXPENSIVE (PARTS AND LABOR). *TR

AFTER FUELING UP MY 2006 GMC ENVOY THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY. THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURING SINCE JANUARY OF 2011. *TR

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE SENSOR, AS WELL AS A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS NO FUEL WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. STARTED WITH FILLING UP MY SUV AND AFTER I GOT GAS, THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY WITH THE BELL CHIMING LOW FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED. IT GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEFINITELY DANGEROUS AS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS, ESPECIALLY WITH TRAVELING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

I OWN A 2006 ENVOY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME THE ROAD SERVICE INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE READ I HAD MORE THAN A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT. EVEN AFTER THEY PUT FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T START WITHOUT A BOOST. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. DUE TO MY FINANCIAL SITUATION I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

FUEL GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 18-24 MONTHS; MUST USE TRIP METER TO DETERMINE NUMBER OF MILES TRAVELED FOR CALCULATION OF NEXT FILL-UP. LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARS UPON EACH REFILL AND EVENTUALLY GOES OFF AFTER A NUMBER OF MILES ARE TRAVELED. CURRENT ODOMETER READING: 75,314

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY WHICH HAS A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS THE TANK AS BEING "EMPTY" WITH THE ORANGE LIGHT ON INDICATING AN EMPTY TANK. AS SOME FUEL BURNS OFF THE TOP (AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MILES), THE GAS GAUGE THEN MOVES TO THE "FULL' END OF THE GAUGE. WHILE DRIVING, THE GAS GAUGE CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS THAT IT HAS MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THAN IT ACTUALLY DOES. BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS INACCURATE AND WOULD RESULT IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS, I STARTED RESETTING MY ODOMETER AND TRACKING MILEAGE AFTER EACH FILL UP. BASED ON THE MILEAGE TRACKED THUS FAR, I ESTIMATE THE GAS GAUGE TO SHOW THAT IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 ' 1/3 MORE GAS THAN WHAT IS IN THE TANK. *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING FUEL GAUGE ISSUES. THIS HAS CAUSED US TO RUN OUT OF FUEL AND NOW NOT BE ABLE TO RELY ON THE AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING. THIS SHOWS BOTH ON THE ANALOG GAUGE AND THE MILE REMAINING SECTION OF THE SUVS DASH DISPLAY SYSTEM. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY THEN JUMPS TO FULL THEN DROPS DOWN TO EMPTY AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT NOW AND CREATES A DISTRUST IN THE STATUS OF THE VEHICLE. .I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND NO RESPONSE TO FIX THIS PERSISTENT ISSUE BY GMC. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE. READS COMPLETELY EMPTY THEN MOVES UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I REALLY HAVE IN IT. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 GMC ENOVY. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS ACTUALLY IN THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BECOME USELESS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE UNRELIABLE HAD TO REPLACE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE BEGAN READING INACCURATELY THEN STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. *TR

AFTER SEEING THAT THERE IS A PROBE INTO THE GM VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM, I'D LIKE TO SHARE MY CONCERN AS WELL. WE PURCHASED A 2006 GMC ENVOY THAT HAD 45,000 ON IT IN FROM A DEALER IN OHIO BACK IN MARCH 2009. APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 2009, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STARTING TO ACT UP, GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND EMPTY TO FULL AT DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SOME DAYS IT WAS FINE AND OTHER DAYS IT WAS ACTING CRAZY. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP HERE IN LANSING AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY A FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM AND WOULD BE ABOUT $800-$900 TO REPLACE. WELL, I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET IT REPAIRED AT THE TIME BUT MY SERVICEMAN FROM CRIPPEN GMC SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS LIKE MINE. I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT WAS MORE THAN JUST MINE AS I HAVE 2 RELATIVES (BROTHER-IN-LAW AND COUSIN) WHO ALSO OWN THE GMC ENVOY YET BOTH ARE DIFFERENT YEARS AND THEY HAVE THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW PAID TO HAVE HIS REPLACED AND HAS SINCE SOLD THAT VEHICLE AND BOUGHT A NEWER MODEL AND IT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP NOTICED IT BEFORE HE PICKED IT UP AND REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR PRIOR TO HIM PICKING IT UP. MY COUSIN AND I HOWEVER ARE CURRENTLY USING OUR MILEAGE READ TO DETERMINE ROUGHLY HOW MUCH FUEL WE ACTUALLY HAVE. WHEN I ASKED MARK, MY SERVICEMAN AT CRIPPEN IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT. THIS HAS TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN REPORTED AS WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF 3 RELATIVES WITH THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE, BUT ALL ARE

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS ISSUES. THE TRUCK (WITH A NEW BATTERY) NEED TO BE JUMPED. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL TURN WITHOUT A JUMP, THE RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ITEMS RESET. THE STABILITRAC LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAS GAUGE IN HER VEHICLE HAS MALFUNCTIONED BY HER FILLING HER TANK AND THE GAUGE NOT MOVING UP ONCE SHE STARTS THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A INDEPENDENT AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

WE REQUEST THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON THE 2006 GMC ENVOY. RECENTLY, WE FILLED UP THE GAS TANK, STARTED THE CAR AND THE GAUGE WENT TO FULL, WE STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY, THEN THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY. NOW, THE GAUGE CONTINUALLY FLUCTUATES SOMEWHERE BETWEEN EMPTY AND 1/4 TO 1/2 FULL SO WE NEVER KNOW. THE REPAIR IS EXTREMELY COSTLY AND OUR RESEARCH SHOWS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE FAILURES SEEM TO CONVENIENTLY OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. WITHOUT A PROPER FUNCTIONING GAUGE, WE HAVE TO CONTINUALLY ESTIMATE THE GAS LEVEL AND RUN THE RISK OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT/INJURY IF OUR VEHICLE SHOULD STALL AND/OR RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY. FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 YEARS. READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, JUST LIKE THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER ENVOY OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC CAUSING THE DRIVER NOT TO KNOW WHEN THE LEVEL MAY BE DANGEROUSLY LOW AND LEAVE HIM/HER STRANDED. GAUGE WILL REGISTER "EMPTY" WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THE 'CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON AFTER 50-100 MILES THE GAUGE WILL REGISTER "FULL". IT MAY OR MAY NOT BEGIN TO READ SOME LEVEL AFTER THAT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND GMC VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE YOU DONT KNOW WHEN YOU CAN RUN OUT OF GAS PARTICULARLY ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY.

I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE GAS GAUGE IS READING EMPTY EVEN WHEN IT IS FULL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF I RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IT COULD RESULT IN A REAR END COLLISION. NOT TO MENTION THAT THIS CAR IS NEW AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE TYPE OF ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY AND JUST STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS NEEDLE DROPS TO EMPTY, THE FUEL LOW INDICATOR COMES ON AND IT STAYS ON UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN TURN IT BACK ON OR IT MOVES UP SOME, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO REMAIN ON. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE A AN OPEN COMPLAINT WITH THEM. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED A LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK FOR A GAS GAUGE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY OF THESE TYPES OF COMPLAINTS AND WILL HAVE TO RESEARCH IT. THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE FOUND IS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH ENVOY'S, GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND HAVE NOT GIVEN OWNERS ANY RESOLUTION. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AN ANNOYING ISSUE AND A COSTLY REPAIR FOR OWNERS AND THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION ON REPLACING THESE KNOWN PROBLEMS. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY. FUEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. WHILE GAUGE USUALLY STAYS AT E EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK, OCCASIONALLY IT WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR BUSY STREETS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

GAS TANK SENSOR FAILED OCTOBER 2010 ON 2006 GMC ENVOY SLT. SHOWS TANK EMPTY REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT OF GAS PUT IN TANK WHICH RESULTS IN THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT COMING ON 99% OF THE TIME. COST TO REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $600. MILEAGE ON CAR WAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES. *TR

I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW IN FEB 06. MY FUEL GAUGE HASN'T WORKED IN 3 YEARS. IT CONSTANTLY READS EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON. I HAVE TO REFUEL EVERY 300 MILES TO ENSURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. I WAS QUOTED $500 TO FIX IT AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEREFORE, IT CONTINUES TO BE FAULTY.

MY GAS GAUGE STARTED OFF FLUCTUATING BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY BACK IN OCTOBER 2010. NOW IT'S JUST STUCK ON EMPTY ALL THE TIME, AND AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR ON, THE LOW FUEL BELL DINGS, THE PANEL TELLS ME I HAVE LOW FUEL (EVEN IF ITS FULL), AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

I HAVE HAD 2 PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS AT 28000 MILES, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE RESISTOR FOR THE HEAT/AC FAN CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 5 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE FIRE WENT OUT ON IT'S OWN BY THE TIME I HAD ROOM TO PULL OVER (ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS). I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE PART REPLACED RIGHT AWAY SO I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND IN COLD AND ICY CONDITIONS WITHOUT EVEN BEING ABLE TO RUN THE DEFROSTER. THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS THAT AT ABOUT 32000 MILES MY GAS GAUGE BROKE. I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK AND WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND STAYED THERE. I MADE SURE THAT I WAS NOT LEAKING GASOLINE AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. IT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A WHILE BUT IS NOW COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE FIRST 25-100 MILES AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH USING THE 4WD OR TOWING VERY MUCH BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I KEEP TRACK OF MILES DRIVEN THESE THINGS EAT UP MORE FUEL. I DON'T WANT TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED BECAUSE OF THE REPAIR COST.

MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. EVEN IF I FILL MY CAR THE GAS STAYS ON EMPTY AND THE LIGHT IS ON, IT USED TO GO BACK UP AND THEN DROP BUT NOW IT DOESNT MOVE. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON TOO.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON... FUEL GAUGE SAYS EMPTY... BELL INDICATES NO FUEL. THIS COMES ON RIGHT AFTER I FUEL UP.

2006 ENVOY. SENDING UNIT FAILURE. GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A FILL UP, THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GAUGE IS ON "E". *TR

DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD REGISTER FULL, THEN WOULD REGISTER EMPTY, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE, AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD A BAD FUEL SENSOR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND URGE THE SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO FORCE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE SAFETY FACTOR, IS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WITH NO WARNING ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY AND NO SAFE WAY TO PULL OFF THE ROADWAY OUT OF HARMS WAY.

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 ENVOY STARTING ACTING CRAZY GOING FROM EMPTY TO FULL AND MOSTLY STAYING ON EMPTY ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMAND PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND OTHER GM VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVEN'T BEEN LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR REARENDED YET FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY A CONCERN. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY SUV STOPPED WORKING. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION WITH 1/4 TANK TO FILL UP. ONCE I WAS DONE AND STARTED MY SUV THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY AND IT CONTINUES TO READ EMPTY EVEN AFTER OTHER FILL UPS. *TR

1) FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY- HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. BEGAN AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT NOW IS ALWAYS ON EMPTY. 2) POWER STEERING: MAKES A WHIRRING SOUND WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL - BEAMAN GMC SERVICE IN NASHVILLE HAS THE DETAILED RECORDS, BUT I BROUGHT IT IN BEFORE FOR THIS, AND IT WAS REPAIRED TEMPORARILY, BUT THE SOUND HAS BEEN BACK AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE ON A TRIP DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY, THE GAS GAUGE READ BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND "E" AND I PLANNED TO GET OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT (APROX 12 MILES) TO REFUEL. WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND PASSING IN THE LEFT LANE, OUR ENVOY JUST DIED! WITH NO POWER ANYTHING (BRAKES, STEERING, ECT.) I DESPERATELY MADE MY WAY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WE HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE READ PLENTY TO MAKE THE NEXT EXIT. STRANDED FOR HOURS AWAITING A TOW, OUT TRIP WAS RUINED. SINCE THEN THE FUEL GAUGE ON OUR ENVOY HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY, IT WILL READ "E" FOR DAYS JUST AFTER WE FILL UP THEN JUMP ALL OVER THE DIAL NEVER GIVING US THE SAME READING EACH TIME WE START THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER THIS WILL COST US $600 TO FIX OR LIVE WITH AN UNRELIABLE FUEL GAUGE, OF COURSE WHAT THE DON'T TELL YOU IS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH GMC ENVOYS THAT YOU WILL ONLY HEAR ABOUT WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET. *TR

BEGINNING IN 2009 MY 2006 GMC ENVOY BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK SENSOR. IT WOULD SHOW EMPTY WHEN IN FACT IT WAS FULL. NOW THE PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS. I MUST USE TO ODOMETER TO GUESS WHEN I NEED TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS. IF THIS HAPPENS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA IF WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND TO OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. IT READS 1/4 TANK WHEN I FILL UP. THEN IT WILL GO UP AFTER DRIVING IT FOR AN HOUR. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ON 2006 ENVOY READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME AFTER FUNCTIONALLY FLUCTUATING FOR SOME TIME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GUESS ACCURATELY THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE CAR. REPAIR IS EXPENSIVE AND THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE FUEL SYSTEM GAUGE WOULD GO TO FULL THE GO ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY, 1/2 FULL THEN BACK FULL AND REPEAT SAME ACTION. WHAT IF I WAS TO RUN OUT OF GAS, AND GET HIT BEHIND? 8TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE FUELED THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE STILL REGISTERED AN EMPTY TANK AND THE FUEL LIGHT WAS STILL ON. SHE DROVE TWO MILES AND THE VEHICLE REGISTERED FULL AND THEN IT WOULD MOVE BACK DOWN TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FUEL SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE FUEL SYSTEM FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY FOR TWO YEARS AND FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

I PURCHASED A 2006 ENVOY IN AUGUST, 2009, WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2010, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO READ 1/4 TANK FULL. WHEN I LEFT HOME 45 MINS. EARLIER, IT READ 3/4 TANK FULL (I WORK APPROX. 7 MILES FROM HOME). BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK, THE GAUGE READ "E" AND THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I FILL THE TANK, THEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT. GAUGE FLUCTUATION BEGAN AROUND 1/2 TANK FULL. I READ MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2006 ENVOY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, AND ME AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY FROM GMC!!!! MY THING IS WHY WAIT UNTIL SOME UNFORTUNATE EVENT HAPPENS, AS SOMEONE BEING STUCK ON A ROAD OR WORSE, A LIFE BEING LOSS!! *TR

I WAS AT 1/8 OF A TANK OF FUEL, FILLED UP AND UPON RESTARTING THE CAR, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY, IN JULY 2010 MY VEHICLE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER I FILLED MY TANK, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS GLOWING AND THE BELL WAS SOUNDING AS IF I WAS ON EMPTY IN AUGUST THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR OFF AND ON, IN SEPTEMBER THE PROBLEM SEEM TO GET WORSE. NOW IN OCTOBER I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH GAS IN ACTUALLY IN MY GAS TANK, THE LIGHT CONSTANTLY GLOWS AND THE BELLS CONSTANTLY SOUNDS AS IF I AM ON E. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AS WELL AS FOSTER CHILDREN I DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEM IN DANGER BUT I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT GMC NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING. *TR

THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 GMC ENVOY IS EVERYTIME I TURN THE AC/HEATER ON THERE IS A FOUL ODOR EMITTING FROM THE VENTS FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE MINUTES. I CONTACTED GMC THEY STATE THAT THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING BECAUSE I LIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA OF THE COUNTRY AND THAT A DRYER NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE FOR 800 DOLLARS AND THEY COULD ONLY OFFER TO TAKE HALF OF THE PRICE. I STATED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS IS NOT ON THE VEHICLE THAT I BROKE THAT THIS PROBLEMS SEEMS TO HAVE DEVELOPED SOMEWHERE IN THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE VEHICLE WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPAIRING IT WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. *TR

AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR BEGAN TO ACT ERRATICALLY. AT FIRST, IT WOULD READ EMPTY OCCASIONALLY AND, ON IT'S OWN, RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, IT BEGAN TO READ EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK UNTIL ABOUT A EIGHTH OF A TANK HAD BEEN USED. EVENTUALLY, IT FAILED ALTOGETHER AND ALWAYS READS EMPTY. THIS CONDITION CONFUSES THE ENGINE COMPUTER CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO LIGHT FREQUENTLY. *TR

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WILL READ FULL OR PARTIALLY FULL WHEN FUEL TANK IS ACTUALLY EMPTY. OR WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE FUEL GAUGE WILL STILL READ EMPTY AND LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. VEHICLE ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF FUEL WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE READ 1/4 TANK. VEHICLE STOPPED JUST OUT OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE. WHEN SHE FILLED THE FUEL TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD INDICATE THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERYTIME SHE FILLED THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,721. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,600.

GM ENVOY 2006 FUEL LEVEL GAUGE HAS BEEN FAILING ON THOUSANDS OF CARS FOR YEARS AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZERS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY, THEN BOUNCE BETWEEN FUEL AND EMPTY THEN IS STAYS ON E UNTIL THE REPAIR IS MADE. THIS HAS CAUSED MY WIFE TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. GM DEALERSHIPS SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND THERE IS NO RECALL AND OWNERS MUST PAY GM $800 TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN ISSUE THAT I FIND HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2005. GM REFUSES TO RECALL THE FUEL SENSOR AND SAYS THEY WILL ONLY REPAIR IF UNDER WARRANTY FOR FREE. THE LABOR IS $670 PART BRING THE REPAIR TO $800+. IF THIS ISSUE IS SEARCHED ONLINE YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND THE FEAR OF THIS CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY OCCURED. THIS MAJOR ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED AT GM'S EXPENSE . *TR
