2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

FILLED CAR UP WITH GAS AND LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE THEN LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL. *TR

GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORK. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY XL 370. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE TANK, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED THROUGH EMAIL AND HAD NOT YET REPLIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 09/29/2011 *LN *TR

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND STAYS THERE FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT FINALLY SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF BUT I AM UNSURE IF IT IS CORRECT AT ALL TIMES AND AFRAID IT WILL SHOW THERE IS GAS AND RUN OUT. I HAVE SEEN WHERE SEVERAL OF ENVOY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL GM SHOULD MAKE CORRECT THESE SENSORS.

IN 2008 THE GAS GAUGE TO MY 2005 GMC ENVOY STOPPED WORKING. I WOULD FILL UP THE TANK AND THE READER WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT ALWAYS SHOWED EMPTY. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $900 TO FIX. I RAN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FREEWAY AND STREETS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. ARE THESE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE? SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTED GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY (AFTER FILLING), AND NOW IT PRETTY MUCH IS IN THE EMPTY POSITION EVEN WITH THE TANK FULL. VEHICLE HAS 79K MILES. LOW FUEL WARNING LAMP AND SOUND ARE ENGAGED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED ERRATIC READINGS. WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD INDICATE THAT FUEL WAS PRESENT IN THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR. THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES ADDRESSING THIS FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP TO FULL AROUND 2 MONTHS AGO. AFTER I WAS DONE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED THE GAUGE DIPPED TO EMPTY AND SHOWED THAT I WAS LOW ON FUEL. I WENT IN AND HAD THE ATTENDANT VERIFY THAT INDEED I DID HAVE GAS DISPENSED INTO MY TANK. THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AND EVER SINCE HAS SHOWN EMPTY TO 1/4 OR 3/8 OF A TANK, NEVER SHOWING THE SAME READING FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME. I HAVE A FAMILY AND DO WORRY FOR THEIR SAFETY. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING TRULY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THERE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, AND THE COST IS WAY TO STEEP TO REPAIR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE GM DEALERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS, AND HAVE FOUND THAT THEY LIKE TO PRETEND THAT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE BEFORE. VERY UNCOOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS FOR MYSELF OF COURSE, BUT ALSO FOR THOSE PURCHASING THESE VEHICLES USED FROM PRIVATE PARTIES WITHOUT BEING NOTIFIED OF THIS ACUTE AND WIDESPREAD PARTS FAILURE, WHICH INDEED MUST BE DEFECTIVE IF IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY. SAFETY IS OF COURSE THE BIGGEST ISSUE HERE, AND GM SHOULD TAKE NOTE. *TR

SMELL OF EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING. NOTICED ENGINE MADE A TICKING SOUND WHICH WENT AWAY AFTER ENGINE GOT WARM. BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO A SERVICE CENTER AND A DIAGNOSIS OF A CRACKED EXHAUST WAS MADE. HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER AND RNVOY OWNERS COMPLAINTS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IN THE CAB I AM ENTERING THIS INTO THE SAFETY COMPLAINT DATABASE. *TT

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.
