2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

OUR 2005 ENVOY HAD A GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTION AROUND 2 TO 3 YEARS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT AS BRAND NEW. GOOD THING IT WAS STILL COVERED BY OUR INSURANCE BUT AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE INSURANCE ANYMORE SINCE IT'S ALREADY PASS 3 YEARS. HAVING IT FIXED IS QUITE COSTLY. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE 285 PEOPLE WHO COMPLAINED ON THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO HOPE THAT GMC WILL DO A RECALL ON 2005 GMC ENVOYS. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 GMC ENVOY. ON AUGUST 20, 2010, I TOOK MY CAR TO FILL UP PRIOR TO TAKING A TRIP FROM MARYLAND TO VIRGINIA. ONCE I FILLED UP, GOT IN THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE IGNITION, THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT MOVE FROM EMPTY TO FULL. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE (SOMEWHERE AROUND 60 MILES) THE GAS GAUGE MOVED TO 1/2,THEN A 1/4 TANK. IT HAS BEEN ALL DOWNHILL SINCE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10/25/10 (MILEAGE WAS AT 77263) AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR THE SENSOR WHICH THEY ARE STATING AS THE ISSUE. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED AS I CANNOT AFFORD THIS TYPE OF EXPENSE. I BASICALLY DRIVE ESTIMATING MY MILEAGE AFTER EVERY FILL UP WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. IN DECEMBER 2010, I GOT STRANDED BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED ON THE ENTRANCE HIGHWAY TO I-95 WITHOUT GAS, THANK GOD THAT I HAVE AAA. NOW I HEAR THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE GMC ENVOY FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS REGARDING THE SAME MATTER (SEE LINK BELOW) HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/GMC/ENVOY/FUEL+SYSTEM I ALSO SAW AN ARTICLE AT: (LINK BELOW REGARDING YOUR INVESTIGATION HTTP://NEWS.YAHOO.COM/S/NM/20110502/BS_NM/US_USA_AUTOS_PROBES I CONTACTED GMC WHO SAID THAT BECAUSE THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A SENSOR ISSUE (NOT A CLUSTER ISSUE) THEY CAN'T HELP. PLEASE HELP US. GMC SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NEVER READS CORRECTLY EVEN AFTER TANK IS FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T REGISTER ANYMORE THAN HALF A TANK WHEN MOVING, ANYTIME VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. ALSO GAUGE NEVER READS THE SAME AT ANY TIME VERY INCONSISTENT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH REPEATEDLY. ORIGINALLY IT ALWAYS SAID THAT I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS, BUT NOW IT TENDS TO READ THAT I AM ALMOST OUT OF GAS EVEN WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP.
