“I have a 2006 Envoy Denali with 53000 miles, about 4 weeks ago, I was filing up with gas, I always fill up at 1/2 tank since I purchased it in 06. After filling the gas gage went to empty, and then would go to full, then back to empty. It did this for about 5 min and then went to empty. Now the gage do not read correctly at all, I use the trip to keep track of my mileage as the remaining miles fuel gage does not register either.....”

Again no indicator light came on to let me know I was low on gas. …”

“2006 Envoy Denali. Consumer writes states gas needle stopped functioning the consumer stated the gas needle began to fluctuate in the beginning and since that time, the needle has been stuck on empty, and the engine light illuminated as a result.

Upon inspection of the vehicle, it was determined the engine needed to be replaced. On june 10, 2010, the vehicle would not start and had to be towed to the dealer. An inspection revealed a starter was needed. …”
