2006 GMC ENVOY Complaints

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON... FUEL GAUGE SAYS EMPTY... BELL INDICATES NO FUEL. THIS COMES ON RIGHT AFTER I FUEL UP.

DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD REGISTER FULL, THEN WOULD REGISTER EMPTY, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE, AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD A BAD FUEL SENSOR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND URGE THE SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO FORCE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE SAFETY FACTOR, IS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WITH NO WARNING ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY AND NO SAFE WAY TO PULL OFF THE ROADWAY OUT OF HARMS WAY.

I HAVE A 2006 ENVOY DENALI WITH 53000 MILES, ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO, I WAS FILING UP WITH GAS, I ALWAYS FILL UP AT 1/2 TANK SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 06. AFTER FILLING THE GAS GAGE WENT TO EMPTY, AND THEN WOULD GO TO FULL, THEN BACK TO EMPTY. IT DID THIS FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AND THEN WENT TO EMPTY. NOW THE GAGE DO NOT READ CORRECTLY AT ALL, I USE THE TRIP TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILEAGE AS THE REMAINING MILES FUEL GAGE DOES NOT REGISTER EITHER..... *TR

2006 ENVOY. SENDING UNIT FAILURE. GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A FILL UP, THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GAUGE IS ON "E". *TR

OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY WITH 40,000 MILES .THE SENDING UNIT IN FUEL TANK IS FAULTY. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK IT WILL SAY FULL AND THEN IT WILL READ EMPTY. IT GOES UP AND DOWN BUT IT USUALLY READS EMPTY AND IS NEVER CORRECT. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 ENVOY STARTING ACTING CRAZY GOING FROM EMPTY TO FULL AND MOSTLY STAYING ON EMPTY ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMAND PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND OTHER GM VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVEN'T BEEN LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR REARENDED YET FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY A CONCERN. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY XL GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER FILLING, THEN SLOWLY MOVES UP AFTER DRIVING BUT WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE PRESSURE UNTIL IT READS EMPTY AND THE LIGHT IS ON, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY SUV STOPPED WORKING. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION WITH 1/4 TANK TO FILL UP. ONCE I WAS DONE AND STARTED MY SUV THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY AND IT CONTINUES TO READ EMPTY EVEN AFTER OTHER FILL UPS. *TR

1) FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY- HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. BEGAN AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT NOW IS ALWAYS ON EMPTY. 2) POWER STEERING: MAKES A WHIRRING SOUND WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL - BEAMAN GMC SERVICE IN NASHVILLE HAS THE DETAILED RECORDS, BUT I BROUGHT IT IN BEFORE FOR THIS, AND IT WAS REPAIRED TEMPORARILY, BUT THE SOUND HAS BEEN BACK AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

I OWN A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THERE WAS A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT WOULD RESET TO THE ACTUAL READING WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT WOULD STAY ON THE ACTUAL READING AND THEN A MINUTE LATER THE DIAL WOULD GO DOWN TO EMPTY. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS FOR A MONTH. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. IT SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TANK AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE TO DO QUITE A BIT OF TRAVELING DUE TO MY NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT AND FIND IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. CURRENTLY, I HAVE 81,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. AFTER SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE OR WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. $800 IS EXPENSIVE FOR ANY FAMILY WHO HAS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. *TR
