2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY XLT. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN INACCURATE EMPTY READING AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED THE FUEL FLOATER VALVE IN 2009 FOR THE EXACT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DOES NOT WORK, INDICATING INCORRECT LEVELS OF GAS AVAILABLE IN VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

FUEL GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. IS ALWAYS ON E. EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP.. GAS LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND DINGING. I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM IN ENVOYS AND I FEEL GMC SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. MILEAGE RANGE IS HUGE SO IT IS HARD TO TRAVEL AND KNOW WHEN TO GET GAS. ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN GAS STATIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS IN RANGE.

PLEASE ADD OUR VEHICLE WITH A GAS GAUGE THAT IS FAULTY. CONDITION BEGAN LAST FALL AND WE JUST ESCAPED RUNNING OUT OF GAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. FUEL LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE FUEL IS EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY WHEN IN REALITY IT IS FULL OR NEAR FULL. JUST THE OPPOSITE HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHT INDICATES FUEL IS IN THE TANK WHEN IN REALITY, IT IS ALMOST EMPTY. OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WAS NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE REPAIR COULD APPROACH $150. WE NOW REFUEL WHEN THE TRIP ODOMETER HITS 300 OR SO MILES.

2005 GMC ENVOY GASOLINE GAUGE FAILURE. READS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FUEL REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. WILL GO UP AND OWN ON ITS OWN. LOW FUEL ALARM WILL SOUND EVEN WITH FULL TANK OF FUEL. STARTED SEPT 2010. *TR

AT 65,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL AND HAS SINCE REMAINED THERE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER PAST FUEL GAUGE RECALLS, AND I REFUSE TO REWARD GMC FOR SUPPLYING FAULTY PRODUCT BY PAYING THE QUOTED $800-$1000 TO REPLACE IT. THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCES OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ARE EXTENSIVE, FROM SLOWING AND BEING REAR ENDED TO BEING HIT ALONGSIDE THE ROAD WHILE GOING FOR GAS. *TR

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING. CAR CAN RUN OUT OF GAS UNLESS CAREFULLY MONITORED BY OPERATOR. GAUGE BECAME FAULTY WITH TIME WHEN CAR WAS 3.5 YEARS OLD. AT FIRST WHEN TANK WAS FILLED, THE EMPTY LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN SUDDENLY REGISTER AS FULL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES OF OPERATION. GAUGE NOW ONLY REGISTERS 1/4TH TANK OR NOT AT ALL AFTER TANK IS FILLED. WITHOUT CAREFUL WATCH, THE CAR COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON A HIGHWAY AND BE STRUCK OR CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. DEALER ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR = $650.00 AND STATED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I DO NOT WISH TO PAY THIS EXORBITANT AMOUNT FOR REPAIR. IT APPEARS FROM MY RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND RAMPANT WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER 2005 GMC ENVOY - FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY - SOMETIMES - IT WILL TELL YOU HAVE MORE GAS - MOST TIMES IT READS EMPTY. I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON SAT 4/30/11 - STUCK GOING UP A HILLED ENTRANCE INTO A MALL. THERE IS NO ACCURATE WAY TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL LEFT IN TANK. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL FOR GMC INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEMS. ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD. *TR
