FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN MY 2005 ENVOY MALFUNCTIONED. DOES NOT REGISTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR MONTHS. I NOTICED AN INVESTIGATION WAS OPEN IN JANUARY 2010 BUT WAS HOPING A RECALL WOULD HAVE BEEN FILED BY NOW. I DID RESEARCH AND HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF THE SAME PROBLEM BEING REPORTED ON-LINE. I JUST WANTED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY IS DOING THE SAME THING WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I WILL FILL UP & THE GAS GAUGE WILL TELL ME THERE IS NO GAS IN IT UNTIL SO MANY MILES AND IT STILL WONT TELL ME THERE IS A FULL TANK , IT WILL JUST CREEP UP A LITTLE. JUST FROM READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM FROM 05 & 06 MODELS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON ENVOY 2005, 4.2 ENGINE. CRACK IN THE MANIFOLD THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE COMMON. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALLABLE ITEM BY GM. THIS EFFECTS OUR ENVIRONMENT AND SAFETY. *TR

IN JUNE OF 2007 I COULD NOT CLOSE EITHER OF THE REAR DOORS ON MY VEHICLE. THEY FAILED APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS APART. I WAS TRANSPORTING TWO GRAND CHILDREN AT THE TIME. THANK HEAVEN THEY WERE YOUNG ENOUGH TO REQUIRE CAR SEATS. WE WERE AT THE MERCY OF STRANGERS ON THE HIGHWAY. WITH DONATED ROPE TO SECURE THE DOORS WE MADE IT HOME. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLIES. I PAID $125 FOR LABOR ONLY. THE DEALER MUST HAVE REPLACED THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLIES WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. ON 10/12/10 THE LEFT REAR DOOR FAILED AGAIN! AFTER TYING THE DOOR AND USING DUCT TAPE TO SECURE IT I DROVE THE 30 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER. ALTHOUGH I HAD TO PAY $295.35 TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DO IT IMMEDIATELY. I AM NOW CARRYING ROPE AND DUCT TAPE IN ANTICIPATION OF FAILURE OF THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK. MY VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. MAINTENANCE IS FOLLOWED RELIGIOUSLY. (THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MANUAL TO INDICATE DOOR LOCKS SHOULD BE CHECKED. LUBRICATED BUT NOT CHECKED FOR POSSIBLE FAILURE.) THESE FAILURES ARE IN NO WAY MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN THAT CAN VERY WELL END IN INJURY. I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED THAT GM WOULD HAVE BEEN CONCERNED AND IF NOT ISSUE A RECALL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE LOCKS. HAVE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CHECK THESE LOCKS WHEN VEHICLES ARE BROUGHT IN FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE. NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THEY ACTUALLY REPLACE THE LOCKS WITH THE SAME LOCK ASSEMBLY THAT IS DOOMED FOR FAILURE. *TR
