“My 2005 Gmc envoy sl only has 47,000 miles. I experienced dash electronics concerning warning indicator lights ( power train cooloing fan at 46,000 miles ) and gas tank level gauage stopped working at 40,000 miles. I have been told that this issue related to an overall sensor problem and will effect the headlights and other safety related issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10421696, filed 2011-08, 40,000 miles“I filled my tank at a gas station and when leaving the check engine light came on and the fuel gauge dropped down to e and low fuel light came on. After 10-15 seconds the fuel gauge went all the way to full . A few minutes later it did the same thing again, and has continued.”
NHTSA complaint #10520249, filed 2013-06, 70,260 miles“My 2005 Gmc envoy xl fuel gauge is not working. At 1/4 tank, I filled up the tank, started the engine and the fuel needle went past empty and light came on. After many re-starts, days the gauge is still not working correctly. As I drive now with a full tank the gauge needle continues to slowly go up and go down with driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10369741, filed 2010-12, 40,000 miles“I have 2005 Gmc envoy and the gas gauge is not working properly so I don't exactly how much gas I do have. When I put gas in it registers fuel level low and its a problem because I travel alot with work and run the risk of running out of gas and being stranded,its very frustrating.”
NHTSA complaint #10364272, filed 2010-11, 75,000 miles“Fuel gauge not reading correct fuel level. Vehicle reads full one minute and empty the next. Vehicle has stalled while driving. This was fixed once under warranty and this is the second time it has occurred I am the original owner. The dealership will not cover the repair. I understand that Gmc is being investigated by your organization for this issue and I would like to be added to NHTSA action number: pe11014 as part of my complaint.”
