2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY AND JUST STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS NEEDLE DROPS TO EMPTY, THE FUEL LOW INDICATOR COMES ON AND IT STAYS ON UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN TURN IT BACK ON OR IT MOVES UP SOME, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO REMAIN ON. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE A AN OPEN COMPLAINT WITH THEM. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED A LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK FOR A GAS GAUGE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY OF THESE TYPES OF COMPLAINTS AND WILL HAVE TO RESEARCH IT. THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE FOUND IS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH ENVOY'S, GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND HAVE NOT GIVEN OWNERS ANY RESOLUTION. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AN ANNOYING ISSUE AND A COSTLY REPAIR FOR OWNERS AND THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION ON REPLACING THESE KNOWN PROBLEMS. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY. FUEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. WHILE GAUGE USUALLY STAYS AT E EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK, OCCASIONALLY IT WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR BUSY STREETS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW IN FEB 06. MY FUEL GAUGE HASN'T WORKED IN 3 YEARS. IT CONSTANTLY READS EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON. I HAVE TO REFUEL EVERY 300 MILES TO ENSURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. I WAS QUOTED $500 TO FIX IT AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEREFORE, IT CONTINUES TO BE FAULTY.

HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPAIRED THREE TIMES. FIRST TIME 65,000 MILES BECAUSE OF NOISE. SECOND TIME VOLTAGE REGULATOR THIRD TIME REAR BEARING. HAD TO HAVE THE ONBOARD COMPUTER REPLACE AT 90,000 MILES VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED. *TR

GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ENGINE GAS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. GAS CAP INDICATOR IS ON AND OFF. CHANGED ON 3RD GAS CAP. *TR

GAS TANK SENSOR FAILED OCTOBER 2010 ON 2006 GMC ENVOY SLT. SHOWS TANK EMPTY REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT OF GAS PUT IN TANK WHICH RESULTS IN THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT COMING ON 99% OF THE TIME. COST TO REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $600. MILEAGE ON CAR WAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE STARTED OFF FLUCTUATING BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY BACK IN OCTOBER 2010. NOW IT'S JUST STUCK ON EMPTY ALL THE TIME, AND AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR ON, THE LOW FUEL BELL DINGS, THE PANEL TELLS ME I HAVE LOW FUEL (EVEN IF ITS FULL), AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

FUEL METER REPEATEDLY INCORRECT ON 2006 GMC ENVOY. AFTER FILLING THE CAR, THE FUEL LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE GAS METER WILL READ EMPTY. DRIVING WILL CAUSE THE GAS METER TO BOUNCE BETWEEN 0 - FULL SPORADICALLY - SOMETIMES STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE, AT 1/4, 3/4, 1/2 TANK. ALWAYS INCORRECT. VERY DANGEROUS. NO IDEA WHERE MY FUEL LEVEL IS AT ANY TIME. *TR

I HAVE HAD 2 PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS AT 28000 MILES, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE RESISTOR FOR THE HEAT/AC FAN CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 5 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE FIRE WENT OUT ON IT'S OWN BY THE TIME I HAD ROOM TO PULL OVER (ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS). I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE PART REPLACED RIGHT AWAY SO I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND IN COLD AND ICY CONDITIONS WITHOUT EVEN BEING ABLE TO RUN THE DEFROSTER. THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS THAT AT ABOUT 32000 MILES MY GAS GAUGE BROKE. I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK AND WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND STAYED THERE. I MADE SURE THAT I WAS NOT LEAKING GASOLINE AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. IT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A WHILE BUT IS NOW COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE FIRST 25-100 MILES AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH USING THE 4WD OR TOWING VERY MUCH BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I KEEP TRACK OF MILES DRIVEN THESE THINGS EAT UP MORE FUEL. I DON'T WANT TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED BECAUSE OF THE REPAIR COST.

MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. EVEN IF I FILL MY CAR THE GAS STAYS ON EMPTY AND THE LIGHT IS ON, IT USED TO GO BACK UP AND THEN DROP BUT NOW IT DOESNT MOVE. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON TOO.
