2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 ENVOY IS NOLONGER WORKING...THE PROBLEM SEEM TO BE COMMON WITH ENVOY OWNERS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ENTIRE FORUM ON IT I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GMC AND NO AVAIL...I TRIED TO TRADE THE CAR BUT WAS OFFERED WAY LESS THAN FAIR TRADE VALUE BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING I HOPE I CAN GET SOME HELP FROM SOMEONE..I CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING THE CAR BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED IN 2006 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING SEVERAL DAYS A YEAR. NOW MY GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. I FILL IT UP AND IT STARTS BLINKING WITH THE RED LIGHT THAT ITS EMPTY.

FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. VEHICLE READS FULL ONE MINUTE AND EMPTY THE NEXT. VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS FIXED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS OCCURRED I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND THAT GMC IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11014 AS PART OF MY COMPLAINT. *KB

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. AFTER FILLING UP TANK WITH GAS, FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY. AFTER SOME DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE INDICATES A CHANGING LEVEL OF FUEL WITH THE RANGE INDICATOR FLUCTUATING FROM 0 TO ~114 MILES LEFT. USUALLY GAUGE READS 0 REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL INDICATE A HIGHER READING THAN WHAT THE TANK ACTUALLY HOLDS. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED 1 INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE THE GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS STILL FUEL IN THE TANK. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM TO BE WITH THE SENDING UNIT ON THE GAS TANK.

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY READS EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. I CAN FILL THE VEHICLE UP, OR ONLY PUT $20 IN, AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL STILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL GAS IN THE VEHICLE. IT READS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATION AS A DRIVER NEVER REALLY KNOWS HOW MUCH GASOLINE THEY HAVE IN THEIR TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE POWER STEERING FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL BUT WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE DEALER DISCOVERED A BROKEN METAL TUBE THATS CONNECTED TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE CONTACT NOTICED NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V455000 (STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS) BUT DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER THE VEHICLE DID NOT APPLY. THE CONTACT STATED WITH THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONING A FIRE COULD HAVE OCCURRED OR EVEN RESULTED IN A CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,300.

I BOUGHT A 2005 GMC ENVOY ROUGHLY 2 YEARS AGO WITH 67K AND AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS THE SENSOR READS TANK AS EMPTY DIRECTLY AFTER AND SEEMS TO FLUCTUATE TO WHATEVER IT WANTS THE REST OF THE TIME. UPON RESEARCHING THE INTERNET WITH THIS ISSUE IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND GMC IS NOT WILLING TO HELP BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY RISK. I PERSONALLY DO SEE THIS AS A SAFETY RISK, IF YOU DON'T PAY PROPER ATTENTION YOU COULD RUN OUT OF GAS AND BE STRANDED ANYWHERE. WHEN I FOUND THE LINK TO THIS WEBSITE AND FORM AND THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH A SHOT TO HOPEFULLY GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR MYSELF AND THE MANY OTHERS THAT SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES. *KB

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I GLANCED TO CHECK MY SPEEDOMETER AND SAW IT REGISTERED ABOUT 100 MPH. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 40. THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO CLIMB AND WENT BELOW THE HIGHEST REGISTERED NUMBER, WHICH IS 120, AND THAT'S WHERE IT NOW SITS APPARENTLY FOR GOOD. NOW I CANNOT TELL MY SPEED. THE NEEDLE REMAINS BURIED BELOW 120 MPH AND DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. *TR

IN 2008, OUR VEHICLE'S GAS GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE ON THE AMOUNT OF GAS. WE WOULD FILL IT UP AND THE GAUGE WOULD SHOW FULL BUT AS SOON AS WE WOULD START DRIVING WOULD DROP DOWN TO EMPTY AND EVENTUALLY AS OF TODAY WHEN WE FILL OUT VEHICLE UP ALL THE WAY, THE GUAGE ONLY SHOWS LESS THAN A 1/4 FULL THEN DROPS TO EMPTY. AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND THE GAUGE SHOWING FULL AND DROPPING TO 1/4 FULL THEN I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING MY GMC ENVOY TO SHUT DOWN AND MY STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITH MUCH FORCE TO THE WHEEL. AS OF TODAY, OUR GAUGE NO LONGER RISES TO SHOW ANY SORT OF AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. WE USE THE GAS USED ON THE DASH TO KEEP TRACK OR MILEAGE TO TRACK WHEN WE NEED TO FILL UP AND MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET DOWN TO CLOSE TO EMPTY. WE HAVE NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE WE HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MADE BY GMC. I HAVE CALLED GMC AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE AND TO MY SURPRISE NONE! I BELIEVE GMC NEEDS TO CORRECT THEIR MANUFACTURER DEFECT! *TR
