2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

FUEL SYSTEM/GAS GAUGE SENSOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE IS ONGOING, AS A RESULT I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN...ONCE IN THE LEFT LANE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD WHERE I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES (SPEED LIMIT ON ROAD WAS 55 MPH). THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN YOU ARE GETTING READY TO RUN OUT OF GAS I.E. THE LOW GAS LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY AND THE REMINDER SIGNAL DOES NOT GO OFF. I TRY TO GAUGE WHEN I NEED TO GET GAS BASED ON MILES I HAVE DRIVEN BUT MILEAGE VARIES DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF DRIVING THAT YOU ARE DOING SO THE NUMBER OF MILES YOU GET PER GALLON CAN VARY GREATLY. ALL 3 TIMES THAT I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS I WAS ON MY WAY TO GET GAS. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THIS PART BECAUSE IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR. IN ADDITION, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A GMC/CHEVROLET FAULTY SYSTEM. I HAD A 1997 CHEVROLET BLAZER AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE GAS GAUGE. I ALSO KNOW OF AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE GMC/CHEVROLET SUVS AND HAVE HAD THIS SAME SYSTEM FAILURE. *TR

THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI EDITION. ABOUT JANUARY 1, 2011 I RECEIVED GAS AT A SHELL GAS STATION. AFTER RECEIVING FUEL THE FUEL GAUGE REMAINED AT E AND DID NOT G TO F SIGNALING A FUEL TANK. EVERY TIME I REFILL THE TANK THE GAS NEEDLE SWINGS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN F AND E. AROUND HALF A TANK THE NEEDLE DROPS TO E. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING ACCURATELY AND HAS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO STALL ONCE WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. I HAVE NOT DONE ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TOLD THE FUEL ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS A COSTLY REPAIR. TO PREVENT THE TRUCK FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING I'VE BEEN MONITORING THE TRIP METER AND GOING BY THE GAS MILEAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FUEL GAUGE ALSO FLUCTUATED BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL ANDWOULD NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED OF THE FIALURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHILE DRIVING GMC ENVOY WIPERS MOVE BY THEMSELVES. THEN STOP AFTER A MIN. OR SO! AS WE PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WATER SPRAYS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS MOVE CONSTANTLY BY THEMSELVES. ALL OF THESE FACTORS CREATE HORRIBLE VISABILITY! *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS GAS IN THE ENVOY. THIS STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE ENVOY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY. TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK THE GAUGE INDICATED NO FUEL, AND THEN IT WOULD FLUCTUATE, FROM FULL TO EMPTY. NOW IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. THE GAS TANK IS FULL AND READS EMPTY, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN IT READS I HAVE HALF A TANK, THEN NO GAS AND BACK UP TO FULL. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE PROBLEMS AND HOPE THERE WILL BE A RECALL SOON ON THIS. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, I DO NOT GET AN ACCURATE READING. WHEN IT'S 70 DEGREES OUT, IT READS -34 DEGREES. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY BLOWER, THE HIGHEST LEVEL DOES NOT WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS PROVIDING INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND WOULD DISPLAY THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY WHEN IT WAS NOT. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT BUT PROGRESSIVELY OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

MY FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP THE TANK. THE GAUGE SOMETIMES READS FULL WHEN THE TANK IS CLOSE TO EMPTY. AT TIMES IT WILL READ EMPTY WHEN IT'S FULL. *TR

GMC ENVOY 2006 FUEL GAUGE BAD READING, MY CAR RAN OUT GAS WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE SHOW FULL. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE TANK WITH GASOLINE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE GAS GAGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY AND THE ALARM SOUNDED. THE GAGE RECOVERED AFTER THE LEVEL DROPPED TO ABOUT 1/3 AND OPERATED CORRECTLY FOR THE REST OF THE TANK. THEN THE GAGE BECAME MORE ERRATIC AND HAS NO INDICATION OF THE AMOUNT IN THE TANK. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2006 ENVOY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AS THEY MUST REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT IN THE TANK.
