Tl- the contact owns a 2005 GMC Envoy. While parked a warning sound began to indicate to the contact the fuel tank was empty and the fuel gauge reading indicated the fuel tank was empty. The contact stated the vehicle had been fueled right before the failure occurred. Also,the fuel indicator reading fluctuates and does not show the accurate amount of fuel in the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The dealer was contacted and stated the fuel level sensor would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. There was an investigation under NHTSA action number: dp10001 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system). The approximate failure mileage was 92,000. Ds.
Fuel level sensor reads full and goes to empty back and forth and turns on check engine light . This occures with any amount of fuel in tank full to empty. Has not been repaired as gm will not stand behind parts . My concerne is with check engine light on how will I know if something else is to fail , such as brakes ext. Talked to gm complaint dept. And was told they had no knowledge . Yea right. Seems most gm SUV's are having the same problem .
Fuel gauge does not work correctly. The reading on the fuel gauge does not reflect the amount of gas in the tank. Gauge mostly reads empty even after filling up. Sometimes it will show there is more gas than is actually in the tank.
The fuel gauge indicated empty after filling up the tank with 20 gallons. The gauge continued to read empty and the check engine light came on. I have read that this is a common issue for this vehicle. It is obvious this is a manufacturer problem that needs recalled and fixed. It is unsafe to drive the vehicle if you don't know the amount of fuel you have.
The fuel gauge on my 2005 GMC Envoy reads empty and the warning light comes on when there is plenty of gasoline in the vehicle. I can fill the vehicle up, or only put $20 in, and the fuel gauge will still fluctuate between empty and the amount of actual gas in the vehicle. It reads empty most of the time. This is very frustration as a driver never really knows how much gasoline they have in their tank.
The gas gauge is malfunctioning in my 2005 GMC Envoy (VIN # 1gkds13s352359924) whereas it does not register the correct amount of gasoline. . . . . I can fill it completely up and it will show past the empty mark and other times it will show 1/4 tank right after I fill up. I have ran out of gas 3x (fortunately not on a busy thoroughfare), but this can be extremely dangerous not ever knowing for certain how much gas I have in my tank or not. It is so annoying and frustrating and not only that but my gas gauge 'dings' off and on all the time indicating that I am low on fuel even after I have filled the vehicle up.
The fuel gauge became erratic. The first thing that happened was when the fuel tank was filled, the gas gauge went to empty and the fuel light came on as if there were no fuel. It remained that way for some time. It then would fluctuate wildly until a large amount of gas had been used.
Ran out of gas multiple times, due to the gas gauge not working. Researched issue on the internet and noticed multiple drivers with same issue. Gas gauge does not read correct amount or continuously "empty". Have heard instances of other drivers with rusted/eroded fuel gauge sensor in the gas tank, causing inaccurate gas gauge. Have been stuck in dangerous places after running out of gas.
My fuel gauge stopped reading the amount of fuel in the gas tank. The low fuel light is now constantly on even when tank is full. Problem not yet fixed cost to fix between$600. 00-$1,000. 00 dollars. Fuel tank sending unit quit working and resulting in inoperable fuel gauge reading.
Inaccurate fuel gauge reading. Car can run out of gas unless carefully monitored by operator. Gauge became faulty with time when car was 3. 5 years old. At first when tank was filled, the empty light would come on and then suddenly register as full after approximately 20 miles of operation. Gauge now only registers 1/4th tank or not at all after tank is filled. Without careful watch, the car could run out of gas on a highway and be struck or cause significant problems. Dealer estimated cost of repair = $650. 00 and stated that it was a common problem for this make and model. I do not wish to pay this exhorbitant amount for repair. It appears from my research that this is a very dangerous problem and rampant with this make and model.
I have owned my 2005 Envoy xl since June of 2006. Once, I passed 36,000 miles, I started experience lots of issues with my vehicle. I started hearing a knocking noise in the rear when I would turn on the ac and the steering was off somewhat. I had the steering fixed for around $400 but the knocking was going to cost around the same amount. Less then 10,000 miles later, the knocking noise is more persistent and is related to issues with the fuel pump. My gas hand will move to empty when I fill the tank up and will not move forward for days at a time. Today, my kids are complaining about the ac not working in the second and third row seats. Everytime I turn the corner it seems as if there is another problem with my vehicle.
In 2008, our vehicle's gas gauge would fluctuate on the amount of gas. We would fill it up and the gauge would show full but as soon as we would start driving would drop down to empty and eventually as of today when we fill out vehicle up all the way, the guage only shows less than a 1/4 full then drops to empty. After filling up the gas tank and the gauge showing full and dropping to 1/4 full then I ran out of gas with my children in the vehicle on the highway, causing my GMC Envoy to shut down and my steering wheel to lock up, luckily I was able to steer off to the shoulder with much force to the wheel. As of today, our gauge no longer rises to show any sort of amount of fuel in the tank. We use the gas used on the dash to keep track or mileage to track when we need to fill up and make sure we don't get down to close to empty. We have not fixed this problem because we have read so many complaints that there should be a recall made by GMC. I have called GMC and asked if there was a recall for our vehicle and to my surprise none! I believe GMC needs to correct their manufacturer defect!.
