 Fuel system: after filling up my 2006 gmc envoy with fuel my vehicle would not start. it took 2 attempts of turning the ignition in order for my vehicle to start. the fuel meter still continued to read empty. any time, i would stop and restart the vehicle, i had the same issue. i called onstar to provide me with a goodwrench diagnosis on the vehicle and they stated the diagnosis was the fuel system. onstar stated the vehicle needed to be serviced within 7 days. i noticed there was an investigation for this same issue that was opened on january 7, 2010.

 Erratic fuel gauge problem started at 110,000 miles on 2006 gmc envoy sle awd and was noted on a dealership visit. unfortunately now has 150,000 miles when the . vehicle has run out of fuel on freeway with wife and children, and almost caused several accidents. it has required numerous aaa calls for fuel over the past years and has created a many hours of inconvenience and lost of work. me and my wife have been stranded on the roadside over 15 times due to faulty fuel readings. problem has been too costly to repair so we have to now rely on resetting the trip odometer. this is a safety concern that should be more than a safety bulletin for only vehicles up to 120,000 miles. this is a farce to the gmc and chevy owner community. is the nhtsa waiting for people to die before making this a total recall to pay for repairs for all owners of these products? this is a failed design that must be corrected for public safety sake. please work with the manufacturers to address this issue fairly, equitable, and honestly. thank you. and may god have mercy on those with the power to make the right choice to do the right thing for the consumers of these products. thank you again. *tr

 Last year my 2006 gmc envoy lost power and the engine light came on while i was driving. i had to quickly move out of the way of traffic to avoid a car accident. gmc also took my money for repairs that should have been covered under the warranty. recently,04/17/12, i 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, 52,000 miles on the vehicle now. now i believe these two incidents are related and gmc is not being cooperative: to fix at no cost a repair that involves hundreds of thousands of their vehicles. what if i did get into an accident with my family last year? gmc needs to step up to recall a know defect to the fuel system failures.

 Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. the contact started the ignition and the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate reading even though fuel had been dispensed into the fuel tank. while driving, the fuel gauge reading fluctuated which caused difficulty in determining the actual fuel tank level. in addition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously whenever the vehicle was operative. there were also electrical issues which contributed to the radio not to function and the instrument panel cluster lights would not illuminate. the fuel sensor was replaced previously by the dealer and the failure recurred three years later. the vehicle had not been repaired for the most recent fuel gauge malfunction. there were no repairs performed in relation to the other failures. the manufacturer was notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 23,000.

 The vehicle started to mark empty fuel tank and sometimes full tank, until the check engine light came on, after that the fuel gage marks empty, i took the vehicle to the dealership on october 2009 and their response was that the truck was out of warranty and if i need the repair i would have to pay. i contact gm on their 1-800 number but their automated response denied any claims. a few months ago i received a letter from gm acknowledging the problem and willing to share half of the cost for the repair. why should i pay for their failure and bad quality? the parts should have been tested at least a million cycles, but apparently not, and my vehicle failed at the 78th time of fill-up the tank, what a shame.... *tr

 My 2006 gmc envoy fuel level guage 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 sporatic 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 loney road in the country at night. gm is aware of this situation but is only offering to pay 50% at their exorbinate service rates.

 The gas guage has failed. it reads empty all the time. it is a very expensive repair, and the places willing to repair it are few and far between. the dealership is extremely expensive in this area. i understand many, if not most envoys have this problem, and it can be dangerous, especially here in fairbanks, alaska, where the temperature is easily -40 and sometimes colder. that is not a situation where running out of gas or a fuel situation occuring is something that a person is going to easily navigate during at least eight months out of the year.

 My 2006 envoy's fuel sensor guage abruptly quit working by originally, randomly indicating improper tank volume. at this point in time, the fuel guage is permanently stuck on empty and my fuel light stays on and the onboard computer constantly chimes and advises my fuel level is low. i just received a letter from gm stating they are aware of the problem and that provided my vehicle is displaying the signs of the problem (it is) i could take it to an authorized dealer for repairs and i would only be responsible for 50% of the repair bill. i find this absured! why should i pay to fix a known problem? why isn't this a full recall? i feel gm should pay for the entire bill to replace the fuel sensor and am requesting assistance.

 We have a 2006 gmc envoy with 46,952 miles on it. one day in april 2011, with a 3/4 tank of gas, i was driving to work and the gas gauge dropped unexpectedly to empty. the bells started going off the messages came on the dash, the engine lights came on. this literally scared me to death. i thought the gas tank had ruptured and that all my gas had leaked out. i was terrified that the vehichle would come to an abrupt stop in the middle of the street. i made it to work and immediately looked under the vehicle to see if anything was leaking. there was nothing. i went into work and worried all day about how i was going to get to a gas station. when it was time for me to go home, i started the envoy and the gas gauge read back to the 3/4 full tank. i started on my way home and all of a sudden the gauge dropped again. ever since that day, every time we start the envoy, the gauge will not read past empty and the warning bells/messages come on all the time. sometimes, several times while i'm just driving to work. it came to the point where we do not drive the vehicle much anymore. with winter coming, i have to get this problem fixed as i need a dependable source of transportation. we have been told the problem is a fuel sensor in the gas tank. whatever it is, we feel that gm should fix the problem for us and very soon. would someone please respond as i am very unnerved about this whole situation. thank you

 2006 gmc envoy: fuel tank sensor shows fuel then doesn't, bounces back & forth. i drive in the mountains and am now very paranoid that my car will run out of gas and leave me stranded on a mountain highway....very dangerous. mechanic says error code is po463. i am so afraid to drive my car alone now... so i stop gong down & then back up the hill just in case i can put in more gasoline. my car also has a drivers' side master control window that burned.... could have started a fire. when my mechanic took it apart, he showed me the burned areas,... smells bad.

 The gas gauge on my 2006 gmc envoy always registers at e. i have talked to gmc and there is no help with this situation though there have been hundreds of complaints on the same thing. when i called customer service they were rude to me and didn't give me a customer complaint number. i am having to gage my gas by keeping track of the mileage through the trip-ometer. thank you for any assistance you can give me on this issue.

 Hello, i want to file a complaint about my 2006 gmc envoy. i've recently been having issues with my fuel gauge, when i fill up my gauge says i'm empty and then slowly creeps back up to full, however, it then fluctuates between full and empty and never gives an accurate reading. i feel this can cause a huge issue for people if they don't know their gauge isn't accurate.

 2006 gmc envoy: fuel tank sensor shows fuel then doesn't, bounces back & forth. i drive in the mountains and am now very paranoid that my car will run out of gas and leave me stranded on a mountain highway....very dangerous. mechanic says error code is po463. i am so afraid to drive my car alone now... so i stop gong down & then back up the hill just in case i can put in more gasoline. my car also has a drivers' side master control window that burned.... could have started a fire. when my mechanic took it apart, he showed me the burned areas,... smells bad.

 The gas gauge on my 2006 gmc envoy always registers at e. i have talked to gmc and there is no help with this situation though there have been hundreds of complaints on the same thing. when i called customer service they were rude to me and didn't give me a customer complaint number. i am having to gage my gas by keeping track of the mileage through the trip-ometer. thank you for any assistance you can give me on this issue.

 A couple months ago my gas gauge started to act up. it was not registering the amount of gas in my fuel tank. i have already been stranded due to no gas and i just don't want it to happen at a critical time and cause and accident! i have a 2006 gmc envoy. this issue needs to be addressed and handled.

 Filled fuel tank until pump clicked off. as soon as i started vehicle, fuel gauge dropped to below e and light, buzzer sounded alerting me low fuel. check engine light came on. preparing to leave on vacation so i drove to local mechanic who advised me of the problems with several gm suvs. he thought as long as i set my trip (so as not to run out of gas), i would be fine on trip. one year later, i still haven't gotten it fixed(hoped i could wait gm out), the problem is a bit worse in that the gauge jumps around and fuel empty buzzer goes on and off all the time .. very annoying. gm says not a safety issue so no recall ???? why does it have to be a safety issue. check out the internet ,, there are hundreds of complaints, and we all know that there would be thousands if everyone would report the problems. why not track how many replacement parts have been sold rather than complaints. that should tell you something. i guess why recall as long as they can make money.

 My '06 envoy slt fuel gauge stopping working approx a month ago. when i fill up the tank the gague still indicates empty.
06/09/2011
 The fuel gauge would go from empty to full, then back down to half a tank. it did that for a month or so even after we would fill it up. now it just stays on empty with the fuel light and engine light on. i had the diagnostics ran on it and it was the fuel sensing unit. now more recently it will just die and stall out while driving. its done that twice now in the past 2 weeks, once with my 2 year old daughter in the car with my wife, luckily they were close to a safe area to coast into. i know that the tank had gas in it, we reset the trip everytime we fill up and thats all we do so we can have an accurate reading, we usually go around 360 miles before we fill up again. the first stall we have only gone around 230 miles. so gas was in the tank. we have not done anything to replace it yet for finacial reasons, but as it keeps stalling we may need to do something soon, its an expensive repair. ive had it estimated at $750.
05/30/201177930
 After filling up my gas tank the gas sensor light comes on and shows that i have no gas at all. then the check engine light comes on and the gas level indicator moves back and forth giving inaccurate and random readings while driving the vehicle. i can't actually tell how much gas is in the tank. i wind up having to fill the tank everyday to know that there's a full tank.
05/20/201152000
 When i filled up gas tank, the gas gauge was reading completely empty, the low fuel alarm was sounding and my engine light was on. the vehicle actually stalled in traffic because of this. once i used approx 2 gallons of gas, the gauge would repeatedly go up and down. if it was stuck at empty, the vehicle was difficult to start. i researched this problem on the web and found that this is a very common problem and dangerous one. i feel there should be a recall on this

 The fuel sensor on our 2006 gmc envoy failed in september 2010. the low fuel light never goes off even when the vehicle has just been filled up the check engine light will come on. we must use our trip to keep track of millage to let us know when it is time to fill up. this is a safety concern as you never know exactly how much gas is in the tank and because the gas mileage on this vehicle fluctuates from 15mpg-18mpg. when the check engine light comes on we are not sure if it is because of the fuel sensor or because of another problem. it seems that many gmc envoys have this same problem and recently we read an article stating that gmc is looking into this problem. we wanted to make sure that our problems are reported as well.

 Problem with my gas gauge in just turned 40,000 mi. add fuel light comes on even after fill up. also gauge goes back and forth during operation of the car. when the gauge hits empty a bell goes off and the low fuel light goes on. eventually the check engine light will also go on indicating there is an issue. very concerned about breaking down and consider it a personal safety issue. local gmc dealer has no clue there was a problem with gas gauges. tried to ignore the problem but just got worse decided to get it fixed $900.

 My fuel gauge is now always on empty stalled right at the gas station my blower for heating and air only works on 3 of 5 levels

 Gas gauge failed to work correctly. it would read empty after just filling up, sometimes it would appear to work and show there was more or less gas than there actually was. ran out of gas a few times, due to failure of the gas gauge. finally had to have it replaced (some sort of sensor), cost a few hundred dollars to replace.

 Tl- the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. the contact stated the fuel gauge on the vehicle does not read correctly. the contact stated the gas gauge would show gasoline was in the vehicle even though the tank was empty. the vehicle contact had the vehicle repaired back in 2009, but did not remember the part replaced. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 79,000.rl

 I read in the newspaper that the nhtsa had opened an investigation concerning 2006 gmc envoy gas gauge problems. i have the same problem as many others with the gauge fluctuating. this should be considered a safety issue since it could cause someone to be stranded. i have 53000 miles on my envoy and this problem started about a month ago.

 I own a 2006 envoy.i have had several incidents of my vehicle shutting down while driving. each time the road service indicated that my vehicle was out of fuel even though the fuel gauge read i had more than a sufficient amount. even after they put fuel in my vehicle it wouldn't start without a boost.this happened twice when i was on the freeway which is very dangerous. due to my financial situation i haven't been able to get this problem fixed.

 Faulty fuel gauge sensor, as well as a faulty instrument panel. the fuel gauge indicates there is no fuel when i have just filled up my 2006 gmc envoy. started with filling up my suv and after i got gas, the gauge dropped to empty with the bell chiming low fuel. the check engine light stays on constantly even after having the car serviced. it goes off intermittenly. definitely dangerous as you do not know when you will run out of gas, especially with traveling with young children.

 Fuel gage in our 2006 gmc envoy first became erratic then failed. took vehicle to local reputable repair facility. they informed me that the sending unit on the fuel pump is known to fail in this vehicle. had to replace fuel pump (i was told fuel pump and sending unit were one piece). the fuel gage began to to work again once fuel pump/sending unit were replaced. the total repair was expensive (parts and labor).
02/23/201150000
 We own a 2006 gmc enovy. about two months ago, the fuel gauge started bouncing back and forth between empty and full. it didn't matter how much fuel was actually in the vehicle. the fuel gauge has become useless.

04/16/201160000
 We have a 2006 gmc envoy that has been experiencing fuel gauge issues. this has caused us to run out of fuel and now not be able to rely on the amount of fuel remaining. this shows both on the analog gauge and the mile remaining section of the suvs dash display system. after filling the fuel tank the guage goes to empty then jumps to full then drops down to empty and then the check engine light goes on. this issue is constant now and creates a distrust in the status of the vehilcle. .i have read many complaints online and no response to fix this persistent issue by gmc.

 Fuel gauge has not worked for approximately 18-24 months; must use trip meter to determine number of miles traveled for calculation of next fill-up. low fuel indicator light is always on. engine indicator light appears upon each refill and eventually goes off after a number of miles are traveled. current odometer reading: 75,314

 After seeing that there is a probe into the gm vehicle fuel gauge problem, i'd like to share my concern as well. we purchased a 2006 gmc envoy that had 45,000 on it in from a dealer in ohio back in march 2009. approximately september 2009, the fuel gauge was starting to act up, going from full to empty and empty to full at different times throughout the day. some days it was fine and other days it was acting crazy. we took our vehicle into a dealership here in lansing and was told it was more than likely a fuel sensor problem and would be about $800-$900 to replace. well, i couldn't afford to get it repaired at the time but my serviceman from crippen gmc said that they have had quite a few problems like mine. i knew there was a problem that was more than just mine as i have 2 relatives (brother-in-law and cousin) who also own the gmc envoy yet both are different years and they have the very same problem. my brother-in-law paid to have his replaced and has since sold that vehicle and bought a newer model and it had the same issue, but the dealership noticed it before he picked it up and replaced the fuel sensor prior to him picking it up. my cousin and i however are currently using our mileage read to determine roughly how much fuel we actually have. when i asked mark, my serviceman at crippen if there was a recall on this he informed me that there was not. this has to be more widespread than reported as what are the odds of 3 relatives with the same vehicle type, but all are different model years having the same issue and if you count my brother-in-laws newer purchase, that would bring the total vehicles to four (4) just in our family. there definately has to be a product issue within the fuel sensoring unit

 Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. the contact stated that the gas gauge in her vehicle has malfunctioned by her filling her tank and the gauge not moving up once she starts the vehicle. the vehicle was inspected by a independent and they advised her that the fuel sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 83,000.
04/06/201158964
 We request that nstsa open an investigation into the performance/reliability of the fuel level sensor on the 2006 gmc envoy. recently, we filled up the gas tank, started the car and the gauge went to full, we started to drive away, then the gauge dropped to empty. now, the gauge continually fluctuates somewhere between empty and 1/4 to 1/2 full so we never know. the repair is extremely costly and our research shows there are numerous complaints about this problem and the failures seem to conveniently occur after the warranty has expired. without a proper functioning gauge, we have to continually estimate the gas level and run the risk of serious accident/injury if our vehicle should stall and/or run out of gas.

 Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. the contact stated that the gas gauge in her vehicle has malfunctioned by her filling her tank and the gauge not moving up once she starts the vehicle. the vehicle was inspected by a independent and they advised her that the fuel sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

 I own a 2006 gmc envoy. the gas gauge is reading empty even when it is full. i have researched this and found many people are having the same issue. i feel that this is a safty hazourd because if i run out of gas while driving it could result in a rear end collision. not to mention that this car is new and shouldnt have these type of issues.

 I have a 2006 gmc envoy and just started having a problem with the fuel gauge. when i fill the gas tank, the gas needle drops to empty, the fuel low indicator comes on and it stays on until i turn the car off, then turn it back on or it moves up some, but the light continues to remain on. i contacted gm customer service to notify them of the problem and i have a an open complaint with them. i have also contacted a local gmc dealer and they said that there is no recalls on this truck for a gas gauge problem. i was also told by gm customer service that they have no record of any of these types of complaints and will have to research it. the information that i have found is that this problem is very common with envoy's, gm has been notified of this problem but they refuse to acknowlegde it and have not given owners any resolution. this is a potentially dangerous problem, an annoying issue and a costly repair for owners and there should be some type of compensation on replacing these known problems.

 2006 gmc envoy. fuel sensor is not working. while gauge usually stays at e even after filling the tank, occasionally it will flucuate between empty and full. i have run out of gas several times because of this. running out of gas on the highway or busy streets is dangerous.

 I've owned this car since it was brand new in feb 06. my fuel gauge hasn't worked in 3 years. it constantly reads empty with the light on. i have to refuel every 300 miles to ensure i don't run out of gas. i was quoted $500 to fix it and i don't have that kind of money. therefore, it continues to be faulty.

 Driving at normal highway speed, the fuel gauge would register full, then would register empty, the low fuel warning light would illuminate, and the fuel gauge would not work again. the check engine light would come on and when i took the car to a mechanic, i was informed that i had a bad fuel sensor. this is a common problem and urge the safety administration to force gm to issue a recall. the safety factor, is running out of fuel with no warning on a street or highway and no safe way to pull off the roadway out of harms way.

 My wife and i were on a trip driving on the interstate in our 2006 gmc envoy, the gas gauge read between 1/4 tank and e and i planned to get off at the next exit (aprox 12 miles) to refuel. while in heavy traffic and passing in the left lane, our envoy just died! with no power anything (brakes, steering, ect.) i desperately made my way to the right shoulder to try and figure out what had happened. we had run out of fuel even though the gauge read plenty to make the next exit. stranded for hours awaiting a tow, out trip was ruined. since then the fuel gauge on our envoy has not worked properly, it will read e for days just after we fill up then jump all over the dial never giving us the same reading each time we start the car. we have been told by the local gmc dealer this will cost us $600 to fix or live with an unreliable fuel gauge, of course what the don't tell you is this is a huge problem with gmc envoys that you will only hear about when searching the internet.

 Fuel gauge on 2006 envoy reads empty all the time after functionally fluctuating for some time. this is a dangerous situation driving long distances as it is impossible to guess accuarately the amount of fuel in the car. repair is expensive and this is apparently a common defect in these vehicles.

 After filling the gas tank the fuel system gage would go to full the go all the way to empty, 1/2 full then back full and repeat same action. what if i was to run out of gas, and get hit behind?

 Tl-the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. the contact stated that when she fueled the vehicle, the fuel gauge still registered an empty tank and the fuel light was still on. she drove two miles and the vehicle registered full and then it would move back down to empty. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the fuel sensor was replaced. the fuel system functioned correctly for two years and failed again. the vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. the manufacturer had not been notified. the vin was unavailable when the complaint was filed. the current mileage was approximately 80,000. the failure mileage was approximately 42,000-bk

 I purchased a 2006 envoy in august, 2009, with 36,000 miles on it. on tuesday, october 26, 2010, while driving to work, i noticed the the fuel gauge started to read 1/4 tank full. when i left home 45 mins. earlier, it read 3/4 tank full (i work approx. 7 miles from home). by the time i got to work, the gauge read e and the fuel light came on. when i fill the tank, then the light goes out. gauge fluctuation began around 1/2 tank full. i read many, many complaints about the 2006 envoy fuel level sensor, and me and hundreds of other consumers believe there should be a recall immediately from gmc!!!! my thing is why wait until some unfortunate event happens, as someone being stuck on a road or worse, a life being loss!!

 I have a 2006 gmc envoy, in july 2010 my vehicle low fuel light came on shortly after i filled my tank, the low fuel light was glowing and the bell was sounding as if i was on empty in august the problem continued to occur off and on, in september the problem seem to get worse. now in october i am not sure how much gas in actually in my gas tank, the light constantly glows and the bells constantly sounds as if i am on e. i have two young chilldren as well as foster children i do not want to put them in danger but i feel this is a very serious problem that gmc needs to address before an accident occurs due to the vehicle stalling.

 At about 40,000 miles the fuel level sensor began to act erratically. at first, it would read empty occasionally and, on it's own, return to normal operation. after a few months, it began to read empty immediately after filling the fuel tank until about a eighth of a tank had been used. eventually, it failed altogether and always reads empty. this condition confuses the engine computer causing the check engine light to light frequently. .

 Fuel level gauge will read full or partially full when fuel tank is actually empty. or when fuel tank is full, the fuel gauge will still read empty and low fuel indicator light is on. vehicle actually ran out of fuel when the fuel gauge read 1/4 tank. vehicle stopped just out of a busy intersection, could have resulted in major accident.

 Inaccurate and/or erratic fuel level indication, due to faulty fuel level sending unit, can result in vehicle running out of fuel with no warning to the driver ultimately resulting an an unsafe driving condition with possible danger to the driver, passenger and surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

 I have a 2006 gmc envoy with 51000 miles on it. the fuel gauge would fluctuate between empty and full and now is stuck on empty. it has left my wife on the side of the road a few times becuase she had no idea how much fuel she had. one time in the middle of the night on a business trip. i don't want my wife stuck in the middle of nowhere because gm is to cheap to fix a very widespread problem on this issue. there are numerous tsb's on this issue on the internet concerning this issue with gm vehicles. they know the problem but when you contact them they say it isn't covered and will cost around $800 to fix. i s shouldn't have to pay for a fix to a very well known problem on a vehicle not that old. this is very much a safety issue when the car shuts down and you loose power steering in the middle of traffic, not to mention stuck in the middle of nowhere. sooner or later it will cause a wreck if it hasn't already.

 2006 gmc envoy. fill up the gas tank to full and the gas gage reads as empty! you drive the truck for a few miles then the gage will read normal. then fill up again and reads empty. i have seen alot of people online with this same exact problem.. seems like evey 2006 has this problem.
08/01/201047000
 After filling gas tank the gauge suddenly dropped to empty and check engine light would come on. gauge goes up and down eraticaly. contacted gmc to which they would not help me. search on line said there was a silent recall other owners said gm took care of problem up to 70,000 miles gm told me it was not a gm web site so they cannot do anything .. search internet and hundreds are having same problem...this is unsafe so i am filing a complaint as other have done before me......this is hazardous if you run out of gas everything shuts down and can cause and accident...there need to be a recall....

 Gmc envoy 2006 fuel gauge reads incorrect fuel level beginning on 8 june 2010 (the vehicle had less fuel than the fuel gauge stated it had). problem persists through the remainder of the month and into july. beginning on 15 aug 2010, fuel gauge would constantly change readings from e to f and vice versa for a few days immediately after each fill-up.
05/05/201039000
 In early 2010 my 2006 gmc envoy began having issues with the fuel gauge immediately after a fill up. the gauge reads empty, the check engine light comes on then the gauge will rise and fall for the next 50 to 100 miles.

 I'm a reservist in the military and it requires me to drive a distance to my base once a month. while driving to my duty location, i realized that my 2006 envoy rwd was driving funny like it was about to stall. at the time, my fuel gauge read 1/2 tank. thankfully i was approaching an exit and was able to get off and go to a gas station. i didn't know what the problem was especially since i thought i had gas. the gas station also had an auto shop. the mechanic couldnt even find anything wrong wrong with my vehicle. he asked me if i was sure there was gas in it. i told him yes bc it read half a tank. we put about 5 gallons in the tank and the engine started right up. when i checked the fuel gauge again, it read it was empty. so i filled up the tank, got back in the car and started the engine but the fuel gauge still read empty even after i filled it up with gas. i was so frustrated because i had to be at drill and i had no idea what was going on. i just prayed that i made it there safely. i did..after the first day of drill was over, i started the engine and the fuel gauge read full but after driving 3 miles the check engine light appeared and the gauge went back to empty. i immediately drove to a gmc dealership where they checked the code for the engine light. the mechanic told me that the fuel sensor malfunctioned and that it was a common problem with envoys. and since i was no longer under warranty, it would cost about $800 to repair. i called gmc customer service and they refused to cover it even after i went over my entire ordeal with them. i have not paid to repair the problem because i think gm should have pride in their products and replace this issue. the check engine light goes off after driving about 30 miles but my fuel gauge always reads empty even after i fill it up with gas. i have to fill up every other day for fear that i will run out of gas again and end up onside of the road stranded. on drill weekends, i have to rent a car bc i can't rely on envoy.

 Gas hand failure
03/03/200965000
 Fuel system: the fuel gage has been going to empty after a fill up. after about 50 miles it would appear to work until more gas added. now it is in total failure with an obd light intermittantly. obd light useless as no way to immediately determine if the gage is the only problem. have been using the trip odometer to approximate fuel remaining for more than 10k miles. fear is that the associated fuel pump will fail as is all one part.

 2006 gmac envoy. upon filling gas tank to full the check engine light comes on and the fuel guage shows empty. guage will fluxuate between empty and full for 10-20 miles. then it will show full and the check engine light goes off. for the next couple of days it will swing back and forth between full and empty. then it seems to work, although i'm not sure, it just does not swing quickly. i think this is a severe hazzard...what if i was going 70 mph on the highway when and it shows 1/2 tank, but runs out of gas. steering would be impared and an accident could result.

 Check engine light accompanied by engine cut-off when cold weather since november 2009. twice gmc dealership couldn't duplicate issue and no idea for check engine light. new development of fuel gauge failure each time of gas fill-up accompanied by fluctuating fuel level indicator. clicking noise coming from gas pedal for 3 years with increasing frequency. electrical system including gauges, speedometer, power steering noise, cruise control seem to be having issues. dealership claims no recalls, but electrical issues appear to be common according to edmunds.com forums for gmc envoys.

 Driving to work at 5 am about 3/4 of mile from home, auto slowed, headlights deamed slightly, rpm's fell. barely able to coast auto to side of road. call for roadside assistance. while talking to agent i open door and smelled gasoline.agent imformed me to call fire department to ensure auto safe to move. fire department arrived and said fuel was still dripping from auto, but they did spread something on fuel and waited until rollback removed auto. auto was taken to gm dealer for repairs. when notified of repair completion i went to dealership. they told me i must have ran over something that pulled fuel line off, and that it was a 1 in a million event. i did not run over anything so i did not believe this statement. i research and found other have had same problem. i am worried because on the repair ticket it states customer states gas leaking as soon as the key turned was on, checked and found quick connect line pulled apart in front of fuel tank. reconnected line all checks good at this time. i did not state fuel was leaking as soon as key was turned on. i was driving and almost unable to get auto to roadside. very dangerous and if the only repair was to reconnect a line that had fallen off, it seems very likely to happen again.

 It seems that my vehicles fuel sending unit is defective after only 40,000 miles and through further investigation i found there are many other owners of this line of vehicles that are experiencing this identical problem. i have been told that it will cost over 800.00 to repair this with no guarantee that it won't happen again. i think this problem should be recalled as most owners of this vehicle are quite upset that they have to pay out of pocket for this defective part to be replaced.

 2006 gmc envoy - fuel gauge shows empty regardless of how much fuel is in the tank. since i have no idea how much fuel is remaining, i have run out of gas several times, including a couple on the interstate. the problem started around october of 2008, but costs almost $700 to fix, started at 37500 miles so it was just out of warranty, and there are hundreds of postings online about this problem stating it's a defect with the fuel pump. *tr

 I'm an owner of a 2006 gmc envoy slt. unfortunately, the fuel gauge no longer functions. at first, the gauge would swing between full, empty and half full. now, it just lives at 'empty'. resetting the trip display after refilling at 220 miles is getting old and inconvenient. i don't like not knowing exactly how much gas i have - especially when i'm driving in areas where there isn't a gas station on every corner. because this seems to be a recurring problem, it should be covered by gmc. *tr

 I own a 2006 gmc envoy. i have experienced intermittent fuel gage failure. the dealership wants $600 + to fix the problem. after doing some investigation on the internet i learned that this is a common problem and gm may have a silent recall of this part. i believe this is a safety problem due to the possibility of running out of gas and becoming stranded in rural iowa during inclement weather. i believe that gm should recall the part. *tr

 I've owned my 2006 envoy for about a year when the gas gage kept saying that it was empty even though it was full. i had it fixed but it is upsetting i had to come up with the money to fix this problem myself. i find it interesting there are so many other complaints about this issue and there is nothing being done about it. *tr

 Failure of the fuel sending unit on my 2006 gmc envoy and others gmc envoys and chevy trailblazers. a flood of information is available regarding this problem on the internet. most can not understand the lack of a recall to fix this situation. situation: erratic or empty gas gauge reading even when the tank is full. a full tank reads empty right out of the gas station. the gauge moves up and down with no reliability. the reading is fluctuating the entire time spent driving when not reading empty. the problem occurred within a month of the warranty expiring. *tr

 2006 envoy only has 50,000 miles and the flywheel is going bad which may lead to future problems with the transmission there is also a fuel gauge problem where i fill up the car completely and it still reads empty. to replace this would be $800 dollars!!! i have found other websites where other people who own this car are having the same problems. there needs to be a recall!!!!!!! this is ridiculous. thank you for listening. *tr

 I own a 2006 gmc envoy that was purchased in march of 2008. the vehicle worked perfectly until june of 2008, when the fuel gauge began behaving erratically. anything less than 3/4 full tank was registering as empty. at this time, february 2009, the gauge constantly reads empty, even after filling up. i have seen numerous consumer complaints on automotive forums and the gmc website, however, no recall has been issued for the fuel float that causes the problem. i personally cannot afford $300 for parts and labor to fix this problem, and have been reduced to carrying paper and pencil to try and monitor my fuel consumption and mpg so i do not run out of gas in the middle of nowhere with two small children. *tr

 Starting in december 2007 every time i fill my gas tank the sensor light comes on and stays on, after a few miles the check engine light comes on. the gas gauge reads empty, then it will read something else. so i have to always reset my mileage so that i know how far i have went. this gmc is only 2 years old. it drives me nuts with this problem. it will finally reset to where the light goes off and the check engine light will go off. for a couple of days then i have to fill it again. i almost dread going to put gas in. *tr

 I have a 2006 gmac envoy - 49,000 miles - one month ago the gas gauge started moving on it's own, i would fill up and will show full as i am driving it will go all the way to empty and then slowly move to full and then back to 1/2 tank and the empty which makes the light and bell come on. when i turn off the car and restart it will then go back to full or stay on empty. this is a safety hazard i never know if i am running low on gas and will be strandard in the middle of the road or is it about to stall out which could cause a wreck.

 Tl-the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. while driving approximately 65 mph, the contact noticed the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate fuel level reading. the vehicle suddenly stalled due to the lack of fuel consumed in the fuel tank. the roadside assistance dispensed the required fuel into the fuel tank and the vehicle resumed. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who informed the fuel tank sensor was faulty. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the problem. there was an open investigation under nhtsa action number dp10001 which closed and a preliminary evaluation had been opened. the approximate failure was 81,000. js

 Fuel gauge is erratic causing the driver not to know when the level may be dangerously low and leave him/her stranded. gauge will register empty when the tank is full. the 'check engine light sometimes comes on after 50-100 miles the gauge will register full. it may or may not begin to read some level after that. the check engine light will go off. this is the second gmc vehicle i have owned to have this problem.
06/01/200933000

 Gm envoy 2006 fuel level gauge has been failing on thousands of cars for years and i am having the same issue. the envoy and trailblazers gauge drops to empty, then bounce between fuel and empty then is stays on e until the repair is made. this has caused my wife to run out of gas in the middle of a busy highway and almost causing a major accident. gm dealerships says they have been aware of the problem for years and there is no recall and owners must pay gm $800 to repair this known issue that i find have been going on since 2005. gm refuses to recall the fuel sensor and says they will only repair if under warranty for free. the labor is $670 part bring the repair to $800+. if this issue is searched online you will find thousands of complaints and the fear of this causing a major accident if it has not already occured. this major issue needs to be recalled and corrected at gm's expense .

 A few months after i purchased my 2006 gmc envoy, my gas gauge started to act crazy. i took it into a repair shop and they told me it was going to cost around $800 to fix because they had to drop the tank. since my car was out of warranty i could not afford to fix it. after some internet searching i noticed that hundreds of people have had the same issue with their gm product. now my check engine light keeps turning on and i can't pass my emissions inspection to renew my plates until it is fixed. i have been keeping track of my gas via tracking my mileage, but have run out on a busy street. it is very expensive to fix and unsafe to keep in the condition it is in.
