Noticed that the fuel gauge for the past week has been acting very strange. i had a half tank of gas and drive very little daily (maybe 10 miles) and in 3 days it went from 1/2 tank to empty. i actually thought my gas was leaking out, but no gas spots or leaks. now, it was on empty, light came on, and started to bing, and the engine light is on also. i filled the car up and fuel light is still on and so is the engine light. indicating a problem at the fuel gage. i love this car, i have never loved a car more...but, now reading all the huge number of people having the same problems...and the cost to have it fixed is wayyyyyyyyy more than i can pay or afford. i have been trying to figure out how i am going to pay the first half of my re taxes and my home owners insurance, i used to work for years with auto dealers and with this amount of complaints, the manufacture normally does a recall and fixes this problem. my concern is, if i keep driving ...
Fuel gauge fluctuates between full and empty. gauge does not show fuel levels. *tr
Filled my gas tank up and the fuel gauge went to empty after filling. every time i fill the tank, it goes to empty and then after driving a bit the gauge starts re-registering. i have no idea if it is accurate anymore. evaporator purge solenoid has also went out causing the check engine light to come on. the lack of an accurate gas gauge is a safety issue. please recall this vehicle. *tr
I have a 2006 gmc envoy and i noticed when i fill the gas tank the gauge shows that i'm completely empty and my engine light goes on. my alarm for low fuel keeps going off. the car has died in the middle of traffic several times because of this. after i drive and use approx. 2 gallons of gas the gauge resets. i noticed on the internet that many people been having the same problem. *tr
I am having a problem with my gas gauge. after filling up my vehicle with fuel, the gas gauge stayed on empty and the low fuel light stayed on. sometimes the gas gauge would go up a little bit and the low fuel light will go out but normally it stays close to empty with the low fuel indicator on whether the cars fuel tank is full or half empty. i heard on the news that nhtsa was looking into the gm suv's having gas gauge problems 2 days after i first started having problems. good timing. i took my car to a repair facility and they said it is a bad sensor in the gas tank. they charged me $90 just to do the diagnostic on the problem and it would cost $600 to replace the sensor because they would have to pull the gas tank off the car. i declined to have it repair. now i have to drive a car that is close to empty all the time and have to rely on the mileage to determine when i will run our of gas. also,the dic (driver information ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy xl. the contact stated that after refueling the fuel tank, the fuel gauge would fluctuate and provide erroneous fuel level readings. the vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and they advised him to replace the fuel pump. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 61,240. updated 12/12/11*lj updated 01/18/12
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy xl. the contact stated that the fuel gauge was inoperable and she was unable to determine how much gas was actually in the vehicle causing her to run out of gas intermittently. the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and no repairs were performed. the current mileage was 95,100 and the failure mileage was 94,000.
Fuel gauge started acting up and going from full to empty. within days it completely quit working and now shows empty when full. the check engine light also came on. *tr
Fuel system/gas gauge sensor failed while driving the vehicle. the failure is ongoing, as a result i have run out of gas 3 times with my small children...once in the left lane of a very busy road where i was almost rear-ended several times (speed limit on road was 55 mph). there is no warning when you are getting ready to run out of gas i.e. the low gas light is on constantly and the reminder signal does not go off. i try to gauge when i need to get gas based on miles i have driven but mileage varies depending on the type of driving that you are doing so the number of miles you get per gallon can vary greatly. all 3 times that i have run out of gas i was on my way to get gas. i have not replaced this part because it is a costly repair. in addition, i believe that this is a gmc/chevrolet faulty system. i had a 1997 chevrolet blazer and the same thing happened with the gas gauge. i also know of at least 4 other people who have gmc/chevrolet suvs and have ...
Summary: i request that nhtsa open an investigation into the performance/reliability of the fuel level sensor installed in model year 2006 gmc envoy xl vehicles. the fuel tank level sensor is defective and could result in vehicle running out of fuel, stall, and being rear ended by another vehicle. this almost happened to me on new jersey turnpike. i was under the impression that i still had a few gallons left after numerous times the fuel light came on and off and then going back to 1/4 full. *tr
after filling the vehicle tank with gasoline, i started the vehicle and the gas gage immediately went to empty and the alarm sounded. the gage recovered after the level dropped to about 1/3 and operated correctly for the rest of the tank. then the gage became more erratic and has no indication of the amount in the tank. i understand that this has been a common issue with the 2006 envoy and is very expensive to repair as they must replace the fuel pump and sending unit in the tank.
Fuel gauge is not working properly, it will continously move from empty to full. ** 2nd complaint- i have had the engine rebuilt because of" intake manifold assembly failure" the part # is gm 12571609 and has failed twice. the last repair was 4-29-2011 the first repair was 9-15-2010 same part same problem. this repair cost was $3500.00
Our fuel gauge on our 2006 gmc envoy xl stopped working a few months ago. the gauge will fluctuate between empty and a full tank. the estimated repair cost is over $850. *tr
2006 gmc envoy xl gas gauge reads empty after filling, then slowly moves up after driving but will continue to lose pressure until it reads empty and the light is on, then the check engine light came on. *tr
The gas gauge is reading empty although just filled with gas. it started fluctuating but now it just remains on empty despite gas tank being full. this is the second time, i have had the same problem. the first time it was changed free of change because car was still under warranty. there is something obviously defective with the gas gauge of this car and it is certainly a safety hazard of not knowing when you need to refill, vehicle stalled in the middle of the road with my three little children in it and costly repairs. gmc must be held accountable for this defect and a recall should be done immediately. *tr
