2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY ADDED FUEL AND CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE IN THE GAS TANK. CAUSING THE FUEL TANK TO READ EMPTY WHEN FULL, CAUSING THE SUV TO STALL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ONE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *KB

2006 ENVOY DENALI CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. DEALER SAYS IT IS THE SENDING UNIT. IF THIS IS COMMON SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL. *TR

I'VE GOT A 2006 GMC ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGES NEVER READS FULL. IT'S ALWAYS READYING EITHER EMPTY OR FULL. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW. HOPING THAT SOMETHING WOULD COME OF THIS BEFORE I JUST GO OUT AND HAVE SOMEONE FIX IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS! *TT

THE FUEL GAGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK ALSO SETS OFF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH E_CHECK. *TT

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON MY VEHICLE. IT STAYS ON "E" WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON WEBSITES. OCCASIONALLY THE GAUGE WILL MOVE UP BUT THEN GO BACK TO "E". I WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A BAD FUEL SENOR GAUGE WHICH IS IN THE GASOLINE TANK. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR OVER 6 MONTHS, AS THE COST WAS ASTRONOMICAL AND I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, RECENTLY MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAS SHOWN THE MAX AMOUNT AND THEN LAST NIGHT IT WENT DOWN TO THE LOWEST AMOUNT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT GOES BACK AND FORTH FROM HIGH TO LOW AND THE OIL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT COMES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THEN GOES OFF. IT SAYS TO STOP ENGINE. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH MY ENGINE AND I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO CONFIRM THAT. I BELIEVE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INCLUDED IN GM'S MODELS. I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WITH AN OLDER GMC SUV WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND THEY ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH A GMC TRUCK THEY USED TO HAVE BUT GOT RID OF IT, DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONS. SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY GE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI ON A PAVED ROAD IN THE MORNING OF MAY 29TH, THE READ WINDOW EXPLODED IN TINY PIECES. NO ONE WAS LOCATED IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND NO VEHICLES WERE ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME. THE MORNING TEMP. WAS AROUND 35 DEGREES. SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED OF THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODING. *TR

THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI EDITION. ABOUT JANUARY 1, 2011 I RECEIVED GAS AT A SHELL GAS STATION. AFTER RECEIVING FUEL THE FUEL GAUGE REMAINED AT E AND DID NOT G TO F SIGNALING A FUEL TANK. EVERY TIME I REFILL THE TANK THE GAS NEEDLE SWINGS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN F AND E. AROUND HALF A TANK THE NEEDLE DROPS TO E. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING ACCURATELY AND HAS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO STALL ONCE WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. I HAVE NOT DONE ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TOLD THE FUEL ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS A COSTLY REPAIR. TO PREVENT THE TRUCK FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING I'VE BEEN MONITORING THE TRIP METER AND GOING BY THE GAS MILEAGE. *TR
