2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, IT WILL CONTINOUSLY MOVE FROM EMPTY TO FULL. ** 2ND COMPLAINT- I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT BECAUSE OF" INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY FAILURE" THE PART # IS GM 12571609 AND HAS FAILED TWICE. THE LAST REPAIR WAS 4-29-2011 THE FIRST REPAIR WAS 9-15-2010 SAME PART SAME PROBLEM. THIS REPAIR COST WAS $3500.00

I OWN A 2006 ENVOY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME THE ROAD SERVICE INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE READ I HAD MORE THAN A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT. EVEN AFTER THEY PUT FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T START WITHOUT A BOOST. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. DUE TO MY FINANCIAL SITUATION I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE SENSOR, AS WELL AS A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS NO FUEL WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. STARTED WITH FILLING UP MY SUV AND AFTER I GOT GAS, THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY WITH THE BELL CHIMING LOW FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED. IT GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEFINITELY DANGEROUS AS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS, ESPECIALLY WITH TRAVELING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

AFTER FUELING UP MY 2006 GMC ENVOY THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY. THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURING SINCE JANUARY OF 2011. *TR

FUEL GAGE IN OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY FIRST BECAME ERRATIC THEN FAILED. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL REPUTABLE REPAIR FACILITY. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SENDING UNIT ON THE FUEL PUMP IS KNOWN TO FAIL IN THIS VEHICLE. HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP (I WAS TOLD FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT WERE ONE PIECE). THE FUEL GAGE BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN ONCE FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT WERE REPLACED. THE TOTAL REPAIR WAS EXPENSIVE (PARTS AND LABOR). *TR

AFTER EXITING INTERSTATE AND PULLING INTO PARKING LOT OF OUR CHILD CARE PROVIDER, CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND CAME TO A STOP. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS APPROX 1/4 TANK OF GAS. WALKED TO GAS STATION WITH MY TWO CHILDREN TO BUY A GAS CAN AND FILL TANK UP. GAS GAUGE HAS CONTINUED TO BE INACCURATE. WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL, THE "LOW GAS LIGHT" TURNS ON. AFTER DRIVING APPROX 50 MILES, LIGHT GOES OFF AND GAUGE INDICATED CAR HAS APPROX 3/4 TANK, ALTHOUGH THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 3/4 TANK FULL AND 1/4 TANK FULL. WE NOW HAVE TO SET THE "TRIP" BUTTON TO 0 EVERY TIME WE FILL THE ENVOY WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AND WE REFILL WHEN MILAGE IS AT APPROX 250 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT WE HAVE ADDED 23 GALLONS OF GAS (ALMOST A COMPLETELY EMPTY TANK) AND GAS GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS STILL A 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE GAS GAUGE FIXED AT THIS TIME. HAVE BEEN QUOTED BY ONE GMC DEALER SHIP THAT COST WOULD BE $600-800.

FUEL GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 18-24 MONTHS; MUST USE TRIP METER TO DETERMINE NUMBER OF MILES TRAVELED FOR CALCULATION OF NEXT FILL-UP. LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARS UPON EACH REFILL AND EVENTUALLY GOES OFF AFTER A NUMBER OF MILES ARE TRAVELED. CURRENT ODOMETER READING: 75,314

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY WHEN SHE REFUELED THE FUEL TANK TO CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND ADVISED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 07/26/11 *BF UPDATED 08/03/11

WE OWN A 2006 GMC ENOVY. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS ACTUALLY IN THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BECOME USELESS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE. READS COMPLETELY EMPTY THEN MOVES UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I REALLY HAVE IN IT. *TR
