2005 Gmc ENVOY XL - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"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"

"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 called gm back on my own, it seems they closed my case but did not have a reason why it was closed and i was placed from one supervisor to another. i have repaired or replaced so many thing on this suv in excess of 7k already its not funny.( power pedal relay, and module, self leveling suspension, ac control head, fan clutch motor, ac accumulator, entire fuse block, entire short block of engine and half the top end.)now the heat and ac system are giving me issues with the actuator door as well as the control box where no air comes thru the dash vents only the floor and gmc stated that is a known problem that has affected many but that there is no recall on that either. of course now i am over the allotted mileage and warranty. some of us live in rural areas where its not a quick trip to a local store but a 17 mile round trip just to get to a small store. *tr"

"the gas tank sensor went out. lately received a letter from gmc for repair but with 2 criterias. first : vehicle must be under 120.000 miles and second criteria less than 10 years. my personal situation only applies the 10 years. *tr i talk to gms and gmc in turn says i have deal with the local dealer and local dealer says gmc must authorized the repair. i further investigate the issue that there are many similar situations and gmc knows that it's a defective part. i think it is in danger if i forget to gas up my car."

"fuel sensor no longer works on vehicle. although this doesn't appear to be a safety issue per se, its a manufacturing defect with the vehicle that gmc has recognized however they continue to put stipulations around vehicles that have this issue that they are willing to fix. for example, the vehicle must be under 10yrs of age or under 120,000 miles whichever comes first. this is ridiculous. i think that gmc should be required to fix this known problem regarding of how many miles or years of age is on the vehicle. *tr"

"i filled up at the local exxon gas station and when i started the car the fuel gauge reads empty with the yellow light illuminated. tried starting the vehicle several times,to no avail.carried car to a mechanic and diagnosed the problem as the sending unit in the fuel tank. repair cost roughly $800 - $1000 dollars. *tr"

"the fuel level sensor stopped working. *tr"

"fuel gauge does not work. i will fill up the tank and turn on the car and it reads low fuel and the indicator light comes on. then i can be driving and it will jump up to past 1/4 tank then slowly go down to e and read low fuel."

"the gas gauge started failing. it started marking random fuel values which were completely incorrect. it would mark half a tank when it was full. it would randomly jump to different setting after each start. and finally it got stuck on empty with the empty light on. *tr"

"2005 gmc envoy. attorney writes on behalf of the client in regards to fuel level censor that may wear prematurely *tgw the attorney stated his clients vehicle service engine light illuminated and the fuel gauge read empty after filling the tank. ultimately, the sensor wore out, which caused the fuel gauge to stop working. *jb"

"the gas gauge on my 2005 gmc envoy has begun reading incorrectly. the gauge reads empty when i fill it with fuel. after a couple of days the tank appears to return to what i believe is a normal reading. then, on it's own, it will fluxuate dropping to empty, triggering the low fuel light and alarm and then return to it's previous position. at this time, i cannot trust the gauge to be accurate. *tr"
