2005 GMC Envoy

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.

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SHIFT LEVER; IT GOES IN PARK AND STAYS THERE FOR ABOUT THREE MINUTES BEFORE IT RELEASES THE KEY (TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION). WHEN I START THE TRUCK, IT WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR FOR ABOUT THREE MINUTES, THEN I HEAR A CLICK WHICH THEN RELEASE THE SHIFT SO IT CAN BE MOVED INTO ANOTHER GEAR. IT BEGAN ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN WORST OVER TIME. ONCE IN ANY GEAR ACCEPT PARK IT CAN BE SHIFTED TO ANOTHER GEAR WITHOUT ANY STRAIN. THE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT THE VEHICLE WITH MY KEY ONCE IN PARK UNTIL AFTER THE LEVER CABLE "SNAPS IN PLACE." I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING ABOUT IT THUS FAR DUE TO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. *TR

HELLO, I PURCHASED A 2005 ENVOY DENALI LAST YEAR. RIGHT AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE THE FUEL LEVELING SENSOR CAME ON (I THINK 1 OF EVERY 2 GET THIS PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL). I LET IT GO BUT NOW ITS TIME FOR INSPECTION! WELL WITH THE LIGHT ON IT CANNOT BE INSPECTED AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME WITH WHAT THEY SAID COULD BE WELL OVER $700. I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS SITE OF MANY HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TH8JI6TEPO3VRJI3D/P2 OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WISH THEY WOULD STAND BY THERE PRODUCT AND HAVE A RECALL OF THIS BECAUSE ITS REALLY A HUGE PROBLEM IF I'VE EVER SEEN ONE. I AM NOT SAYING THIS JUST BECAUSE I HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT MANY MANY PEOPLE DO. DO A EBAY LIST FOR AN ENVOY AND I GUARANTEE YOU THAT YOU'LL SEE ALMOST HALF IF THEY SHOW YOU THE DASH BOARD HAS THIS PROBLEM. I DID NOTHING WRONG BUT FILL UP MY TANK AND I GOT THIS ERROR. LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING IN THE NEAR FUTURE WILL BE DONE. MY INSPECTION IS ALMOST UP AND ITS A MUST TO GET DONE! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY THAT HAS JUST STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE FILLED THE GAS TANK AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. THEN 10 MINUTES LATER THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND IT READS THAT I DO HAVE FUEL. THEN A LITTLE LATER IT STARTS GOING DOWN AND READS EMPTY AGAIN. I HAVE RE-STOPPED TO GET GAS TO FIND THAT THE TANK IS FULL. THIS IS WRONG AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. IT DRAWS THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM DRIVING AND MUST HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS SOMEWHERE IN THE USA. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 05 GMC ENVOY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE REPAIRED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH! MY ISSUE IS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE HEADLIGHTS AND CONSOLE "FLASHING" AT NIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THE FIRST TIME THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY, SOME CABLES AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT BACK ABOUT A MONTH LATER BECAUSE THE LIGHT WERE STILL FLASHING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS AND TOLD ME IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR. I DID NOT BELIEVE THEM AND DID NOT GET MY ALTERNATOR CHANGED ($675.00) AND MY CAR HAS BEEN STARTING AND RUNNING FINE. MY HEADLIGHTS STILL FLICKER, BUT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND MOST OF THEM GO THROUGH A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND IT STILL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS SOMETHING GMC NEEDS TO LOOK INTO AND FIX BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 ENVOY SE AND HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS GAUGE FOR THE PAST YEAR. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS 80000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND IT WILL NOT WORK ANY LONGER. IT SEEMS AS IF LOST PRESSURE AND WILL NOT READ HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I FILL UP, IT WILL STAY ON EMPTY AND WILL NOT MOVE. AT TIMES, IT WILL GO FROM EMPTY TO ABOUT HALF TANK FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT WILL DROP ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN TO EMPTY. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD "IT'S OK. FORGET IT." ON 01-09-2009 WHILE TRAVELING ON TEXAS HIGHWAY 60, I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET FOR 70 MPH. TRAFFIC WAS NORMAL BUT CONTINUALLY PASSED ME AS IF I WAS GOING SLOWER. I PULLED OVER AT A CONVENIENCE STORE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 45 MPH IN PARK. I CONTINUED HOME GAUGING SPEED BY THE OTHER TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. ON 01-14-2009, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE VEHICLE RETURNING FROM SCHOOL. THE SPEEDOMETER APPEARED TO BE WORKING. AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00 PM WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES. AT THE SAME TIME, THE A/C WENT TO MAXIMUM HEAT AND HIGH BLOWER. MY WIFE STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN PARK. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, STRIKING MY DAUGHTER IN THE LEFT TEMPLE RESULTING IN A MILD CONCUSSION. ONSTAR NOTIFIED THE POLICE OF A COLLISION. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO REFERRED ME TO GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE. THE AGENT TOLD ME THAT THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING TOO FAST AND TURNING TOO SHARP. AN INVESTIGATOR WAS DISPATCHED TO GATHER COMPUTER INFORMATION AND DETERMINE IF THERE HAD BEEN A COLLISION. HIS RESULTS WERE THERE WAS NO COLLISION AND THE BAGS DEPLOYED PER COMMAND FROM THE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM BASED ON THE VEHICLE TRAVELING 20 MPH AND TURNING TOO SHARP. THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY TRAVELING 20 MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE. TURNING RIGHT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN GOING THROUGH A FENCE AND LEFT WOULD HAVE PUT THE VEHICLE IN A PARK. GMC REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AND THE DRIVER'S ACCOUNT FURTHER. I CONTACTED A LOCAL GM DEALER WHO HAS AS MUCH CONCERN ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AS I DO. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN INITIATED TO DATE AS IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT IS AT FAULT. SEVERAL GM TECHNICIANS AND SERVICE MANAGERS BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM BUT ARE UNABLE TO PROCEED WITHOUT APPROVAL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON CRASH. THE CONTACT WAS SEVERELY INJURED AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS CRUSHED. ALL FOUR TIRES BLEW OUT AND THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE AND NO MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED FROM THE SCENE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MILEAGES, SPEED, AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.
