2005 GMC Envoy

I BOUGHT A 2005 GMC ENVOY ROUGHLY 2 YEARS AGO WITH 67K AND AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS THE SENSOR READS TANK AS EMPTY DIRECTLY AFTER AND SEEMS TO FLUCTUATE TO WHATEVER IT WANTS THE REST OF THE TIME. UPON RESEARCHING THE INTERNET WITH THIS ISSUE IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND GMC IS NOT WILLING TO HELP BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY RISK. I PERSONALLY DO SEE THIS AS A SAFETY RISK, IF YOU DON'T PAY PROPER ATTENTION YOU COULD RUN OUT OF GAS AND BE STRANDED ANYWHERE. WHEN I FOUND THE LINK TO THIS WEBSITE AND FORM AND THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH A SHOT TO HOPEFULLY GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR MYSELF AND THE MANY OTHERS THAT SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES. *KB

I HAVE A 2005 ENVOY AND IT JUST STARTED SMELLING OF GAS FUMES REALLY BAD AND AS I WAS READING SOME INFORMATION ON YOUR SITE I HAVE ALSO AGREE IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM YOU SEE WHERE IT WAS SEALED NOT BY OIL CLAY OR ANY GOOEY SUBSTANCE OF THAT SOURCE ITS SECURED BY WELDING I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WORK FOR NUMMI AND I WAS A QC INSPECTOR AND DID THE TEAR DOWN ON THE GAS TANKS FOR SAFETY IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME TANKS SLIP BY BECAUSE NOT EVERY ONE IS CK THERE RANDOM CHECKS I BELIEVE ITS THE O YES O RING THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY WELDED PROPERLY CAUSING LEAKS THAT IS THE GAS FUME I AM SMELLING IN MY CURRENT ENVOY (2005) .AND YES IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THESE FUMES YOU KNOW IT AND SO DUE I .LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPEN ONE DAY THERE WAS THIS GENTLEMAN WHO WAS ON THE JOB AND LOTS OF GAS TANK SLIP THROUGH THAT DAY ROLLING OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE AND SHIP OUT TO DEALER SHIPS WHERE THE O RINGS WERE NOT HOLDING UP DURING THE TEAR DOWN PROCESS OF THE INSPECTION. WELL NEED LESS TO SAY THE UNITS WENT OUT TO BE SOLD TO CONSUMER .AND THEY WANTED TO FIRE THE INSPECTOR BUT THEY JUST SUSPENDED HIM FOR A WEEK.ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED ON MY INSPECTION ROUTE IN BODY N WELD I HAD FOUND A SPLIT ON THE FLOOR PAN OF THE COROLLA VERY LARGE AND HARD TO SEE GUESS I JUST GOT LUCKY BUT SO THE MANAGER AT THAT TIME WAS A FEMALE AND SHE WENT TO THE END OF THE ASSEMBLY LINE AND SURE ENOUGH THOSE SPLIT HAD BEEN SHIP OUT TO THE DEALER SHIPS THEY TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE ONES THAT WERE SHIP YOU SEE IF YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MEDAL IT WILL CONTINUE TO SPLIT OF COURSE THE CARPET COVER IT WHO WILL KNOW .THE REMINDING ONES WELL THEY PLACE A SPOT WELD ON EACH SIDE OF THE SPLIT AND SOME SEALER. WITH THAT SAID I CERTAINLY BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURE IS CERTAINLY RESPONSIBLE AND PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS NO MATTER THE MILEAGE OR THE YEAR. BY THE WAY I WORK IN THE BODY-N-WELD SHOP. IT IS NOT A WARE AND TEAR ISSUE. *TR

ON REGULAR BASIS WOULD ADD 10 GALLONS PER FILL UP, THEN DURING A LONG TRIP FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY: WHICH THEN THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. THEN WENT UP TO ABOUT HALF. NOW AFTER 10 GAL. FILL THE GAUGE READ EMPTY OR ABOUT 1/4. HAVE NOT NONE MUCH AFTER LEARNING THIS IS A VERY COMMON GM PROBLEM. FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE (DRIVING 27 YEARS) RAN OUT OF GAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 4WAY INTERSECTION, HONEST TRUTH. DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MY FAMILY IN CAR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. *TR

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 OCCURRED, 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. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS SPECIFIC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2005 ENVOY QUIT WORKING AFTER A FULL TANK OF GAS WAS PUT IN. THE GAGE GOES UP AND DOWN AT ITS OWN WILL. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENSORY PROBLEM AND WOULD COST AROUND $600 TO FIX. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC VEHICLES. ON ONE SITE ALONE I FOUND 500+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I THINK ITS TIME FOR A RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ERRATIC AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. KNEW IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. LIVED ON RESETTING TRIP ODOMETER EVERY 200 MILES AND WOULD FILL UP. THIS INCONVENIENCE LASTED TWO YEARS UNTIL CONSTANT AUDIO AND VISUAL LOW FUEL SIGNALS. ENDED UP PAYING $450 FOR REPAIR. COMPLETELY CONFIDENT THAT GM KNEW THE ORIGINAL WAS FAULTY. *TR
