2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK IN MY 2006 GM ENVOY, MY FUEL GUAGE SHOWED EMPTY. THE GAS GUAGE WOULD BOUNCE BUT NOW STUCK ON EMPTY. *TT

I'VE GOT A 2006 GMC ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGES NEVER READS FULL. IT'S ALWAYS READYING EITHER EMPTY OR FULL. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW. HOPING THAT SOMETHING WOULD COME OF THIS BEFORE I JUST GO OUT AND HAVE SOMEONE FIX IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS! *TT

THE FUEL GAGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK ALSO SETS OFF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH E_CHECK. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO THE LACK OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE LACK OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS PROVIDING INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE THROUGH A DIAGNOSIS BY THE ON-STAR SYSTEM. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS REGARDING THE FUEL GAUGE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,450.

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON MY VEHICLE. IT STAYS ON "E" WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON WEBSITES. OCCASIONALLY THE GAUGE WILL MOVE UP BUT THEN GO BACK TO "E". I WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A BAD FUEL SENOR GAUGE WHICH IS IN THE GASOLINE TANK. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR OVER 6 MONTHS, AS THE COST WAS ASTRONOMICAL AND I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, RECENTLY MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAS SHOWN THE MAX AMOUNT AND THEN LAST NIGHT IT WENT DOWN TO THE LOWEST AMOUNT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT GOES BACK AND FORTH FROM HIGH TO LOW AND THE OIL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT COMES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THEN GOES OFF. IT SAYS TO STOP ENGINE. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH MY ENGINE AND I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO CONFIRM THAT. I BELIEVE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INCLUDED IN GM'S MODELS. I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WITH AN OLDER GMC SUV WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND THEY ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH A GMC TRUCK THEY USED TO HAVE BUT GOT RID OF IT, DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONS. SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY GE. *TR
