Recently reported FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE problems on 2006 GMC Envoy

Hi, i have a problem with the gas meter on my gmc envoy 2006. it has 38,000 miles. the gas gauge shows that the gas tank is empty even though i fill it up. when i start the engine the gauge goes shows that the tank is full, after a few minutes of driving it goes all the way down to empty and i get the signal that the tank is empty. my concern is about if there is any recall on that because it only has 38,000 miles. i was also checking online and found a lot of complaints for the same problem. i believe gm should be responsible for this matter because it is a sign of a defected part. this problem started happening on january 30, 2016; my main concern is getting stuck in traffic and possibly get in an accident due to the gas gauge is misreading. thank you for taking the time to read my complaint. *tr

The fuel gauge stated that i had 300 miles till empty. while going down the road, it went all the way down to empty. i stopped and turned it off and waited a few minutes and turned it back on. it took about 5 minutes but the mileage and gas hand went back up to where it was supposed to be. this morning i filled the tank up and now the computer is reading low fuel and the gas hand is below the red line. also the check engine light is on. *tr

Fuel sensor/gauge reads empty even though fuel tank is full. needle continues to fluctuates while driving providing an inaccurate read of duel state. *tr

Wind shield wipers would go on .now they won't go off. engine light wont go off feels like the car is going to stall out. mechanic said it will get worse and will start stalling out. i see a lot of complaints on these cars about the same thing i have going on. my gas gauge wont work. i brought my car for the recall for the drivers door last year and now my keys won't unlock the doors. only the remote will open it. when i called about the doors and windows not working they said my vin wasn't under recall i called you and you got it fixed for me. i think they need to check the electrical problems on the envoys. i have the same complaints so something is wrong with these vehicle. *jb

Fuel gauge reads empty even when tank is full. first noticed issue several months ago, after filling the tank. the gauge would begin reading correctly after driving for a while. ran out of fuel in feb. due to inaccurate reading. currently gauge has been reading empty for 4 weeks, even after several trips to the gas station. *tr

I was driving down a hill at approximately 45 miles per hour, when suddenly my envoy just shut off. the vehicle did not accelerate when i pressed on the gas, so i pulled into the first side road to avoid being stuck on a main roadway and when i turned, i had a difficult time turning because the vehicle was off, actually i turned into the wrong side of the road ( thank god there was no incoming traffic). i let my envoy glide as far as it would go until i felt it was some what safe. parked the envoy, then tried to turn it back on, the engine would turn over, but would not turn on. i had the towing co. stop at autozone to look into the lit check engine light and they came up with code p0463, failed fuel sending unit. this was a very scary situation for i could of gotten into a fatal accident!!! *tr

One evening i was driving on the main highway and my inside lights came on. i pulled to the side of the road to check the switch but it was on auto. i turned it off but the lights stayed on. they were still on when i got home and parked turned off the ignition the lights were still on. the next morning my car couldn't start because it had ran my battery down. another incident was my headlights went off one night while i was drive on the highway. i am also having problems with my gas gauge. my gas light comes on like i am out of gas. the last time i fill my car up with gas it hesitated. it didn't want to start. the light stays on when my car is full of gas. i smell gas. i sat at the gas station for an our because my car didn't want to start. the sound of my radio goes in and out. my lights continue to go on and off when driving or when not driving. one morning i got up to go to work, went to start my car and the headlights were on but ...

First, gas gauge started miss reading, then a month or 2 later it has been stuck on e with low indicator light on ever since. second, last week my daughter stopped the vehicle, put the gear selector in park, car kept moving, dash indicator was still indicating drive and kept moving. good thing she didn't get out of the car. i saw a big recall for gm multiple years but not my model for bad shifter cable and that is what broke. that could have been a very serious incident and could have caused someone to get seriously injured. *tr

Inaccurate fuel gauge reading resulted in vehicle stall (disabled) while driving. fuel gauge shows more fuel available than is actually in the fuel tank. gauge reading may jump up and down during driving. *tr

Gas gauge reading was sporadic and finally went to empty with the out of fuel warning light and out of fuel warning buzzer on. *tr

Fuel gauge drops to empty even if tank is full. will also fluctuate at any time so accurate level is unknown. danger of running out of gas with no warning while driving!!!! *tr

I recently smelled gas fumes in and around the vehicle and i do an a visually inspection of the fuel system of my vehicle. i found a leak of fuel coming from the fuel tank; just from the fuel tank neck. i am really worry about it because most part of the time i am traveling with my son. recently i do a research and found nhtsa action number pe07014 about a recall from gmc about the 2002-2004 gmc envoy and chevy trailblazer about the same problem just happen to me. *tr

Low fuel warning light does not come on. - this is the third time that i nearly ran out of fuel without any warning. the engine stalled; however, i was able to restarted it and there was just enough fuel for me to limp into a gas station. *tr

Gas hand reads empty and does not move from empty when tank is full of gas. *tr

My 2006 gmc envoy fuel level gauge has started reading empty after filling with fuel. i have been using my odometer to keep track of miles since last fill up. it has been giving sporadic readings and can not be trusted. this could cause a dangerous situation if i was to run out of gas in traffic or on some lonely road in the country at night. gm is aware of this situation but is only offering to pay 50% at their exhorbinate service rates. *tr
