9 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2014

The first day we had the truck the speedometer displayed the wrong speed and has been that way. It works occasionally. Then a week later the low beam head lights went out while driving. They came back on after a few mins. This happened again a few days ago. The fuel gage is in accurate as well. I took it to a shop and they said the instrument cluster needs to be replaced but found no issues with the head lights but there is deffinately an issue with the headlights and that is very dangerous.

10 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/26/2013

In March 2012 I had motor mounts installed on my 2005 GMC Envoy at the dealership jay GMC Buick columbus georgia. On August 26,2013 they are telling me I need new motor mounts because of the age of vehicle and miles they need to be replace. I guess parts are old and professional installing is old to. During this same time had a tune-up {major} and now have to have coil and plug install. This make it seem paying for professional serve is a waste of time. My fuel injector also needs cleaning again. In the future I can only expect 40,000 miles on anything fixed by dealer.

11 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2013

Fuel light came on, speedometer stopped working, engine cut off. Before that, the muffler started making rumbling noise. I had just fueled the vehicle. Findings by aaa: abs bad had to be replaced 1056$ and realignment. 2. Exhaust manifold and pipe replacement 400. Dont know about fuel system yet brakes /abs is 3rd time since buying the car in 2006. 2nd time for engine issues. Car started overheating on beltway this week and blower motor not working right. Also have issues with window passenger side front wont work now and rear wiper stopped working. Holy you know! think I got a lemon!.

12 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2012

The gas gauge on this vehicle is off. On two separate incidences when the gas gauge is just above the red empty indicator, the vehicle acts like it is running out of gas. This is demonstrated by difficulty excel-orating after stopping, or going up hill. Then 15-20 miles later the gas light comes on and the vehicle is struggling to go because it is literally running on empty.

13 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2012

Headlights began to dim, then brighten repeatedly, as to appear to be "flashing" other drivers. Shortly after, the oil pressure gauge malfunctioned. After the oil pressure gauge, a few days later the battery gauge malfunctioned. A few weeks later, the gas gauge stopped working right. Now, the engine continuously jerks, like it is missing due to lack of fuel. Contacted GMC on 11-09-2012. No solution.

14 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2011

The fuel level sensor stopped working.

15 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2011

Gas guage stopped working at 50k miles.

16 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2010

I own a 2005 GMC Envoy that is having a known problem with the gas gauge and the sender unit. The check engine light also comes on. Apparently numerous customers have been experiencing this same issue on their gm suvs. There should be a recall to fix these known manufacturer faulty workmanship issues.

17 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2009

2005 GMC Envoy gas gauge is not working. Causing increased risk of running out of gas.

18 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2009

My 2005 GMC Envoy gas gauge began to become erratic in November of 09. At that time it would work some times and not others. After a few weeks it stopped working in any manner and constantly fluctuates up and down, causing the low fuel indicator to go on and off. This occurs even when the vehicle has just been filled with gas and the gas cap tightened. The only way to monitor gas at this time is through tracking mileage. Vehicle will randomly stall when idle. The stalling is noted to be occurring more frequently the longer this goes unrepaired. Stalling at lights, in parking lots and while backing up puts us at risk of being hit by another vehicle. Also the inability to accurately monitor the amount of gas in the vehicle puts myself and my family at risk of being stranded while traveling. The only other person I know with this same make and model has the same problem. Correction is replacement of the part which is between $600 and $800.

19 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2009

Gas gauge and speedometer no longer work. Never know how much gas is in the car.

20 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2007

Our 2005 Envoy had a gas gauge malfunction around 2 to 3 years after we bought it as brand new. Good thing it was still covered by our insurance but after a year and a half, the same problem occured, and it was not covered by the insurance anymore since it's already pass 3 years. Having it fixed is quite costly. I just recently found out that there were 285 people who complained on the same problem. I do hope that GMC will do a recall on 2005 GMC Envoys.
