2006 GMC ENVOY XL Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL WHICH WAS PURCHASED JANUARY 2008. SHE STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE CONTINUED TO READ EMPTY EVEN AFTER SHE ADDED FUEL TO THE FUEL TANK. THE LOW GAS WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED IT WOULD COST OVER $600 TO REPAIR IT. THERE WERE NO RECALLS PERTAINING TO THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 53,705.

GAS GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. IT WAS FLUCTUATING FROM EMPTY TO A NORMAL READ AFTER FILL UP, NOW IT JUST STAYS ON EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY. SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SENDING UNIT AND FUEL SENSOR. DEALER WANTS ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. *TR

THE LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH ASSY BROKE AND DOOR COULD NOT BE CLOSED. HAD TO REPLACE COMPLETE ASSY AT A COST OF $191.79. *TR

BACK WINDOW ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY EXPLODED WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED. GLASS WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. HINGES HAD JUST THE DAY BEFORE BEGUN MAKING A NOISE WHEN TAILGATE WAS OPENED AND CLOSED. MY HUSBAND'S HAND WAS CUT. GLASS FLEW 20 FT. OUT OF GARAGE WHERE CAR WAS PARKED. NOISE OF EXPLOSION WAS LIKE A LIGHTENING STRIKE OR GUNSHOT. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK IT REFUSED TO READ FULL - STAYED ON EMPTY AND NOW THE GAUGE DOES UP AND DOWN AT WILL. ALSO THE SMELL OF GAS IS COMING THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONER. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEB 2008, GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATIONS BEGAN IN JUNE 2008. NOW SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME, LIGHT AND WARNING BELLS GO OFF WITH EACH START AND FILL UP. RAN OUT OF GAS ON MARCH 25TH, WAS UNABLE TO FILL TANK COMPLETELY AND STILL SHOWED EMPTY. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK IN MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. ONE DAY I FILLED THIS VEHICLE UP AND THE GAS GAUGE REMAINED ON EMPTY AND FOR A MONTH IT WOULD READ NORMAL SOMETIMES, BUT NOW IT STAYS ON EMPTY THIS HAS OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR,I HAVE 52,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY, SO THIS PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. UPON REVIEW ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL GAUGE INDICATORS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM, AND IT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $500 TO REPAIR. MOST COMPLAINTS ARE HAPPENING AROUND 45-50 THOUSAND MILES... *TR

RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN GAUGE INDICATED REMAINING FULL. SHORTLY AFTER THIS SITUATION THE GAUGE REGISTERED ERRATICALLY AND THEN EMPTY ALL THE TIME WITH ALARM SOUNDING RANDOMLY. EST. FOR REPAIRS IN THE $700 RANGE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. AFTER THE GAUGE HAS READ EMPTY FOR A WHILE, THE ENGINE LIGHT THEN COMES ON. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME 724.00 TO GET FIXED, B/C THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS REPLACING. *TR
