2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

IN REFERENCE TO DP10-001. I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS AN ERRATIC GAS GAUGE AS WELL. AFTER RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY AND ILLUMINATE THE EMPTY TANK WARNING LIGHT. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES, THE GAUGE WILL RETURN TO THE FULL POSITION, BUT WILL FLUCTUATE OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS POSSIBLE FAULTY SENDING UNIT, FAULTY GAUGE AND FAULTY SENSORS ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE IS ON EMPTY. THE "LOW FUEL' INDICATOR ON THE DASH WILL BLINK RANDOMLY AND "DING" TO DRAW MY ATTENTION TO IT. THE GAS CAP WAS REPLACED A WEEK LATER BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. IT CONTINUES TO READ "EMPTY." SINCE THEN THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. THE SPEEDOMETER HAND HAS COMPLETELY DROPPED BELOW THE 120 MPH MARK, ALTHOUGH FOR A FEW WEEKS IT WOULD REGISTER THAT I WAS DRIVING MUCH FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC AROUND ME. MOREOVER, IT WOULD REGISTER 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. YET, IT HAS SINCE STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO RECENTLY STALLED IN REVERSE AND SEVERAL TIMES HAS SURGED/ACCELERATED QUICKLY WHEN I AM DRIVING SLOWLY AND PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAVE CALLED THE NATIONAL GMC DEALER TO DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINT(S). *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO BECOME ERRATIC IN NOVEMBER OF 09. AT THAT TIME IT WOULD WORK SOME TIMES AND NOT OTHERS. AFTER A FEW WEEKS IT STOPPED WORKING IN ANY MANNER AND CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN, CAUSING THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR TO GO ON AND OFF. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS JUST BEEN FILLED WITH GAS AND THE GAS CAP TIGHTENED. THE ONLY WAY TO MONITOR GAS AT THIS TIME IS THROUGH TRACKING MILEAGE. VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHEN IDLE. THE STALLING IS NOTED TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY THE LONGER THIS GOES UNREPAIRED. STALLING AT LIGHTS, IN PARKING LOTS AND WHILE BACKING UP PUTS US AT RISK OF BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALSO THE INABILITY TO ACCURATELY MONITOR THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE PUTS MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF BEING STRANDED WHILE TRAVELING. THE ONLY OTHER PERSON I KNOW WITH THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. CORRECTION IS REPLACEMENT OF THE PART WHICH IS BETWEEN $600 AND $800. *TW

2005 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. CAUSING INCREASED RISK OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, WHEN FILLING TANK, GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, FUEL GAUGE IS UNRELIABLE, I'M AFRAID OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. HE STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH OR VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE HIGH BEAMS IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHICH DISTRACTS DRIVERS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58000.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON MY 2005 GMC ENVOY XL SLT IS CRACKED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED MANY OF THESE GMC ENVOY AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THIS SAME INCIDENT OCCURRING. *TR
