2005 GMC Envoy

THIS PROBLEM NOTED BELOW IS VERY VERY COMMON IN BOTH CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS AND GMC ENVOYS. HERE'S ONE LINK WITH OVER 200 DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TH8JI6TEPO3VRJI3D PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY WIDESPREAD AND HAS POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS DUE TO CARS STALLING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I KNOW PERSONALLY AS MINE HAS. PLEASE READ ON.THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP! 1.) FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED. FOR TWO WEEKS GAUGE WOULD START TO MOVE TOWARDS EMPTY WHEN IN FACT TANK IS FULL. THEN GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL OR SHOWS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME, THEN GAUGE MOVES SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE POINT WHERE LOW FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING DINGS FREQUENTLY AS IT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK. 2.) MY ENVOY STOPPED RUNNING IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD TO COAST TO SHOULDER IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. CAR DID START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES COMPUTER RESET. 3.) I HAVE MY CAR AT THE SHOP NOW. INITIAL CODE INDICATES FUEL PUMP ISSUE. FROM READING ALL OF THE POSTED COMPLAINTS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY 2005 GMC ENVOY WITH GAS THE FUEL GAUGE STAYS ON E, SOMETIMES IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO UP TO 1/4 TANK BUT ALWAYS DROPS BACK DOWN. THIS CREATES A PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY KNOW WHEN MY TANK IS EMPTY, ALWAYS GUESSING ON WHEN I NEED TO FILL UP. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ABOUT $600 TO FIX, IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND NOT A RECALL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS LIKE THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND I FEEL LIKE GMC SHOULD DO A RECALL TO FIX THIS. THIS IS NOT A "NORMAL" WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE ENVOY BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AT APPROXIMATELY 58, 000 MILES WHEN THE GAS TANK BEGAN READING EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK. EVENTUALLY, AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM IF I PAID FOR HALF OF THE REPAIRS. I REFUSED. LATER, AT APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, JUST RECENTLY IT WAS STUCK AT 120 MPH EVEN IN PARK. NOW, THE BATTERY GAUGE HAS BEGUN TO MALFUNCTION. THE BATTERY CHARGE RANGES FROM THE LOWEST TO THE HIGHEST WITH NO REAL RHYME OR REASON. IT IS APPARENT BY READING ON THE INTERNET FORUMS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PRODUCT DEFECT AS IT HAPPENS TO MANY, MANY GMC OWNERS, ESPECIALLY 2002-2005 ENVOY OWNERS. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH GMC DIRECTLY AND RECEIVED RESPONSES THAT ARE NOT SATISFACTORY. THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE A RECALL EFFORT AND REPAIRED BY GMC AS THEY ARE CLEARLY PRODUCT DEFAULT NOT JUST GENERAL WARE AND TEAR OF THE VEHICLE. THESE PROBLEMS ARE COSTLY AND PRESENT SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT DROVE TO A GAS STATION TO FILL UP THE TANK; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY TAKE $10 WORTH OF FUEL. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SENSOR FAILED AND THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS SINCE THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000. UPDATED 06/24/09. *LJ UPDATED 06/26/09.*JB

GAS GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED SINCE 2007. HEADLIGHTS AND SOME DASH LIGHTS AS WELL AS EXT TEMP GAUGE SOMETIMES FLICKER. NO POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM DEALER FOR GAS GAUGE. WAS INITIALLY TOLD HEADLIGHTS WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS, A "FEATURE". I ASKED THEM TO DOCUMENT THIS FOR ME, THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. REPLACE BODY CONTROL MODULE, NO CHANGE. SAID IT COULD BE THIS OR THAT, BUT OUT OF WARRANTY AT MY EXPENSE. I TOLD THEM I WOULD PAY FOR IT, BUT IF IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM I WOULD NOT. THEY REFUSED TO WORK FURTHER ON IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT IS HAVING A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND THE SENDER UNIT. APPARENTLY NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE ON THEIR GM SUVS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SO CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE MANUFACTURERS FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE IN HER VEHICLE. AFTER FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMPTY. AFTER DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYS INCORRECT INFORMATION DURING INNER CITY DRIVING. HOWEVER, ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE, THE GAUGE OPERATES NORMALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,387.
