2005 GMC ENVOY Complaints

RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT ON MY 05 GMC ENVOY THE GAS GAUGE STARTED BEEPING WHEN YOU WOULD FILL UP THE TANK. THEN IT STARTED TO NOT READ FULL WHEN IT WAS FILLED. NOW IT NEVER READS FULL AND WHEN THE TANK IS HALF EMPTY THE LIGHT WILL COME ON. IT WILL ALWAYS BEEP WHEN I FIRST START IT. THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT HAVE WENT OUT AFTER 36,000 MILES. THIS IS A FAULTY UNIT AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE IT. IF I WAS TO REPLACE IT MYSELF IT WOULD COST ME OVER $500.00 . TERRIBLE PRODUCT TERRIBLE PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

AT VARIOUS TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM. GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM - TSBS 05-08-42-001 AND 06-06-03-004 BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR UPDATED 10/23/07 *TR

MY 2005 GMC ENVOY CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER. I'M TAKING IT IN AGAIN TODAY FOR THE 4TH TIME. IT LOSES POWER GOING UP HILLS. IT'S LIKE THE ENGINE IS STALLING, AND IT HAS ACTUALLY CUT OFF ON ME. THE FIRST 2 TIMES THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. SO IT DIDN'T GET FIXED. THE 3RD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. THEY SAID IT WAS THE OXYGEN SENSOR, AND CARBON BUILD UP ON THE FUEL SOLENOID. ONCE AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS TIME I HAD ONSTAR DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A POWER TRAIN SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. WHICH IS THE PART OF THE ENGINE SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES POWER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY THIS HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT SEEM TO FIX. OF COURSE THE GAS MILEAGE IS TERRIBLE DUE TO THIS SITUATION, AND WITH GAS PRICES THE WAY THEY ARE IT'S KILLING ME. *JB

2005 GMC ENVOY - SINCE PURCHASE, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT; SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN TO UNDER 11 VOLTS WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE DEALER HAS TIGHTENED THE GROUND CONNECTIONS AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE; AFTER RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS "NORMAL". THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 50K MILES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *JB
