Fuel leaked everywhere had to replace the fuel pipe, hose and more pipes. Representatives at GMC adviced me that other vehicles with the same tank has recalls and my vehicle should be part of the recall! I called GMC multiple times and they opened and closed the case without any investigation as they promised! I paid $991.55 for something that should have been covered in a recall. I believe it is recall id 12V459000 just based on my internet searches. GMC is denying me an investigation! please help me one case # opened with GMC was [xxx] I don't know where I can get my $991.55 back and GMC keeps brushing me off and dismissing me. It is terrible! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Fuel gauge is erratic. After I fill up the tank, the fuel warning light comes on, the gauge is on empty and the message "low fuel" displays. This happens when the vehicle is stationary, in motion, on a city street and on the highway.
The contact owns a 2005 GMC Envoy. Upon starting the vehicle, there was an abnormally strong fuel odor inside the vehicle. Upon inspecting the vehicle, it was noticed that fuel was leaking under the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.
Reading numerous complaints that compare to mine the fuel gauge, oil gauges, air conditioner are all malfunctioning in my car and I'm very upset because all of this should have been recalled. I purchased my car brand new in 2005 and I will never buy a GMC car again for this reason it's one thing to recall repair parts that were broken that to repair malfunction parts. Very disappointed. In short my gauges don't work, my air conditioner only works on one side and now my headlights low bean don't work. GMC needs to recall and repair.
When stopped in traffic or at a stop light, my vehicle will idle roughly and sometime stall. It does this in drive, neutral and park. I've had it checked and they couldn't find anything wrong. There are no codes showing a problem.
When I went out to start my car it wouldn't start so I took the key and my dad my be I need a jump he said no if that was the case the car wouldn't even turn over. I went back out to try it again but still nothing so I began to turn the key back and fourth and eventually it stared. A few minutes the cigarette outlet caught on fire so I unplugged my car charger.
The fuel gauge reads faulty, will fill up the tank and it will show as empty, then it will show 1/4 full and needle will fluctuate intermittently between 1/4 tank and empty. Has been diagnosed as the fuel level sensor.
Filled up gas tank to full, when pulling out of gas station, fuel light came on and gas gauge showed it was empty. After driving for a short while gauge started to go to full. This happens everytime I fill up for gas.
The first day we had the truck the speedometer displayed the wrong speed and has been that way. It works occasionally. Then a week later the low beam head lights went out while driving. They came back on after a few mins. This happened again a few days ago. The fuel gage is in accurate as well. I took it to a shop and they said the instrument cluster needs to be replaced but found no issues with the head lights but there is definitely an issue with the headlights and that is very dangerous.
In March 2012 I had motor mounts installed on my 2005 GMC Envoy at the dealership jay GMC Buick columbus Georgia. On August 26,2013 they are telling me I need new motor mounts because of the age of vehicle and miles they need to be replace. I guess parts are old and professional installing is old to. During this same time had a tune-up {major} and now have to have coil and plug install. This make it seem paying for professional serve is a waste of time. My fuel injector also needs cleaning again. In the future I can only expect 40,000 miles on anything fixed by dealer.
The fuel gauge on my vehicle started to go up and down and then the yellow empty light came on all of a sudden while driving. Even after filling up the gas tank, the fuel gauge does not read correctly. I'm now at the point I have to keep track of my gas usage by using my trip meter and tracking the miles that I drive. I'm afraid to take my vehicle on long trips, not knowing when I may run out of gas.
2005 GMC Envoy bought in February of 2011. A few months later the fuel gauge only registers as empty regardless of how much fuel was added to the tank.
Fuel gauge stopped working in April 2011. Showing empty even when full. Took to dealer. Mentioned I heard trailblazers also having issue. Was told no recalls. Had to pay for repairs. Finally got notice can get portion of money back. It took months to get portion of money back. I had to keep following up even though they confirmed they had my paperwork. Strike 1. had car in for 100,000 mile service, 9/24 - 9/25/2012, only to go back later because of car seeming to now have issues accelerating and car was not reset after oil change. Told needed engine mounts. Disputed this as seems strange car was running and sounding fine before 100K mile service. Went back and forth with dealer.took car back to have master tech check and also because oil gauge stuck in one spot. Went in 12/31/2012. Was quoted repair price for oil sensor and now repair quote not only has engine mount replacement but also quoted trans mount replacement. Really....refused repair. Strike 2 and 3. btw, also needed new tires. I went to other dealer approximately 35 minutes away instead to get tires. On 3/5/2013, on way home notice speedometer showing about 90 miles even though gps says I'm only doing about 67. Exited interstate, shut car off and turned back on. No change. Got home, turned car off. Speedometer stuck at 20 miles. Morning of 3/6/13, started car, speedometer stuck at 7 miles. Worked full day. Got home and it was back to zero after turning car off. Current odometer is approximately 106,102. These people need to own up to their mistakes and errors. We spend enough money with them. Grass may not be greener with other make vehicle but customer service goes a long way!!!!! will take a lot to get me to buy another GMC or similar vehicle.
Fuel gauge registers empty after filling tank. Light & sound sensors indicate low fuel level. Fuel must drain slowly into tank or gas pump shuts off. Electrical dash indicators do not work for a time after fueling so cannot set the trip indicator to gauge the mileage to a tank of gas. Fuel on occasion does not shut off at the gas pump when tank is full.
Gas gauge continuously fluctuates between empty and full even with a full tank, this also causes the engine light to come on. There has been numerous complaints from other owners with the same problem but a recall has yet to be issued. Called the dealer and they said they will cover half the cost. Why not the whole cost since this issue is so prevalent?
