After filling my vehicles gas tank, the gauge shows empty, an the lo e fuel level warning light is engaged. initially, this only happened when the fuel level was above half of a tank, then the level would show correctly from one half of a tank and lower. eventually, it never showed correctly and always as empty with low fuel warning. *tr
At lees than 1/4 tank of fuel the gas gauge is close, after refueling, the fuel gauge goes way past full and will stay like that until fuel is below 1/4 tank. last time the truck took 19.85 gallons in a 20 gallon tank until it started working correctly again. one tank it worked fine and next fill up it was way beyond full again. at the same time when fuel gauge is wrong, the speedometer will be off. many times freezing at 35mph while traveling 65mph. after many resets of ignition, the speedometer will come back. also when all of this is happening with the speedometer and fuel gauge, the radio has no audio. every now and again, the radio will come back and work on one speaker. most of the time it is out. when weather is warmer, all 3 functions seem to work regularly. below 50 degrees, all malfunction. *tr
Seems that the fuel gauge reads empty even after i fill it up. it will chime, illuminate the low fuel light and read --- for range left till empty. this has been a known issue. after you drive and use about 5 gallons it will then go from f to e every few minutes and then the check engine light comes on with code p0463. this has been a known issue. gm stated that they did send out at one time a offer to pay half of the associated cost if we chose to fix this and it was only available for a short time. i was deployed overseas at the time so i never got that mail and i would not have been able to do anything at that point in time anyway, however they could have allowed me to do it upon my return, nope!!! they said that there is nothing that can be done now, and it is viewed on a case by case basis. they told me to see their liaison at my local dealership, he will then call the gm rep. it has now been over a week and still no reply. when i ...

2005 gmc envoy out of the blue my speedometer works intermittently and my gas gauge reads empty with light on even though i have a full tank of gas! additionally the factory speakers work intermittently. this vehicle has electrical issues! *tr
I received a letter from gmc approximately a year ago stating that there was a recall to the fuel gauge on my vehicle. i didn't think anything of it since i had not experienced the issue and the letter stated not to take it to the dealer unless you currently had the problem. as of a week ago the fuel gauge stopped working. i fueled up until the tank was full and the gauge reads as if the tank is empty and the low fuel light is on. in addition the speedometer has is having issues now as well. it sticks at highway speed and then just goes to zero and stays there. if it weren't for my gps i would have no clue what rate of speed i am traveling. i have contacted gmc customer service as well as the dealership and the repair for the fuel gauge will cost me $240 with gmc paying the other half. it seems to me that they were aware that there was an issue before i did so why am i now stuck with the repair bills? why was this not fixed before the vehicle was sold to me since i purchased ...

The gas gauge on my 2005 gmc envoy slt has began reading incorrectly. the gauge reads empty even when the tank has fuel in it. after a day or so the tank reads normal, then it begins to fluxuate from correct to empty. then the check engine light will begin coming on, and will go off again with no resetting. *tr
Fuel gauge shows empty when tank is full. it will work again at about half a tank, then when we refuel it will go to empty again. then it will start to go up to about 1/8 tank, then go back to empty. sounds like this is a major issue with gm vehicles. *tr
