2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

FUEL GAUGE READINGS ARE INACCURATE, DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE GAUGING SYSTEM IN THE TANK AT CONSUMERS COST. I BELIEVE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A WARRANTIED ITEM. *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

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

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.

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY SL ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES. I EXPERIENCED DASH ELECTRONICS CONCERNING WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS ("POWER TRAIN COOLOING FAN AT 46,000 MILES") AND GAS TANK LEVEL GAUAGE STOPPED WORKING AT 40,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE RELATED TO AN OVERALL SENSOR PROBLEM AND WILL EFFECT THE HEADLIGHTS AND OTHER SAFETY RELATED ISSUES. *TT

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.
