Reading numerous complaints that compare to mine the fuel gauge, oil gauges, air conditioner are all malfunctioning in my car and I'm very upset because all of this should have been recalled.

5 Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2012

As reported by many other gm customers my vehicle has experienced the same fuel gauge/sending unit failure. It began slowly with minor inaccuracies in fuel amount. Then it quickly and steadily got worse until the fuel gauge doesn't work at all. I understand that gm acknowledges the problem, but refuses to pay the full price. I believe the NHTSA should force them to fully repair their faulty equipment which renders the driver blind as to how much fuel they may have. This could be very dangerous.

Hbn26-16842. Our 2005 GMC Envoy has always had a faulty fuel gauge and has caused our family to be stranded a few times without gas while travelling far from home. We took it into a GMC dealer who wanted $ 950 for parts and repairs. We just dont have that kind of money. GMC has always been aware of this problem and has not offered to fix it nor have a recall on this faulty gas gauge. 856,000 gm suvs under investigation for faulty fuel gauges federal regulators are investigating 865,000 general motors suvs, including the 2005-’07 Chevrolet trailblazer and Buick rainier,for faulty fuel gauges that are inaccurate.

Fuel gauge stopped working in April 2011. Showing empty even when full. Took to dealer. Mentioned I heard trailblazers also having issue. Was told no recalls. Had to pay for repairs. Finally got notice can get portion of money back. It took months to get portion of money back. I had to keep following up even though they confirmed they had my paperwork. Strike 1. Had car in for 100,000 mile service, 9/24 - 9/25/2012, only to go back later because of car seeming to now have issues accelerating and car was not reset after oil change. Told needed engine mounts. Disputed this as seems strange car was running and sounding fine before 100k mile service. Went back and forth with dealer. Took car back to have master tech check and also because oil gauge stuck in one spot. Went in 12/31/2012. Was quoted repair price for oil sensor and now repair quote not only has engine mount replacement but also quoted trans mount replacement. Really. . . . Refused repair. Strike 2 and 3. Btw, also needed new tires. I went to other dealer approximately 35 minutes away instead to get tires. On 3/5/2013, on way home notice speedometer showing about 90 miles even though gps says I'm only doing about 67. Exited interstate, shut car off and turned back on. No change. Got home, turned car off. Speedometer stuck at 20 miles. Morning of 3/6/13, started car, speedometer stuck at 7 miles. Worked full day. Got home and it was back to zero after turning car off. Current odometer is approximately 106,102. These people need to own up to their mistakes and errors. We spend enough money with them. Grass may not be greener with other make vehicle but customer service goes a long way!!!!! will take a lot to get me to buy another GMC or similar vehicle.

Water temp gauge reads vehicle over 180 degrees so incorrect.

Failure Date: 08/01/2007

Right after the warranty ran out on my 05 GMC Envoy the gas gauge started beeping when you would fill up the tank. Then it started to not read full when it was filled. Now it never reads full and when the tank is half empty the light will come on. It will always beep when I first start it. This unit should not have went out after 36,000 miles. This is a faulty unit and I believe the manufacturer should replace it. If I was to replace it myself it would cost me over $500. 00 . Terrible product terrible product that should be investigated.
