2006 GMC Envoy XL fuel system, gasoline problems

“The contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The failure occurred on three separate occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with fuel pump and fuel pump sensor failure. The fuel pump and fuel pump sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 270,319.”

“AT EVERY FILLUP WE CAN SMELL GAS LIKE THERE IS A FUEL LEAK. I HAD A SHOP DO A FOG TEST AND THEY CONFIRMED A LEAK "SOMEWHERE FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK". THE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE DROPPED TO VISUALLY INSPECT AT A COST OF $400-$500 JUST FOR THE DROPPING OF THE TANK. THEN THERE WOULD BE ADDED COSTS TO REPAIR WHATEVER IS CAUSING THE LEAK AND SMELL OF GAS. AFTER HEARING THAT I CAME HOME TO START MY SEARCHING FOR RECALLS & SAFETY NOTICES TO FIND THAT GM HAD A NOTICE ISSUED AS WELL AS THE NHTSA, BUT IT SEEMS THEY CUT THE YEAR OFF AT 2004 & 120,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE THREAD BELOW, IT APPEARS THIS WAS EXTENDED TO VEHICLE UNDER 150,000 MILES WHICH WE ARE WELL UNDER, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A 2002-2004 MODEL. THREAD - HTTP://FORUMS.TRAILVOY.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=22530 VIN - [XXX] A VIN SEARCH FOR THIS ENVOY DIDN'T BRING UP THE FUEL LEAK ISSUES, BUT WE CAN SMELL GAS & CONFIRMED A LEAK EXISTS ON THE TOP OF THE TANK SOMEWHERE. WAS THIS PROBLEM EVER REPORTED FOR NEWER MODELS YET? *TR”

“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”

“WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE AIR WILL LET OUT OF THE SHOCKS, ALSO HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. SSOMETIMES AIR WILL NOT EVEN ELEVATE SHOCKS WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. ALSO RANDOMLY WHILE VEHICLE IS STARTED WHWTHER THE FUEL TANK IS FULL OR EMPTY OR INBETWEEN IT WILL GO FROM ACCURATE LEVEL TO EMPTY MARK ON FUEL GAUGE. *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”

“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 THE SWITCH WAS OFF. I COULDN'T GET THE LIGHTS TO GO OFF WHEN I GOT TO WORK. THEY STAYED ON AT LEAST FOR 4 HRS. SOMETIME THE LIGHTS DOESN'T COME ON WHEN I PUT THEM ON. I REALLY HAVE SOME WEIRD THINGS GO ON WITH MY VEHICLE. I DID GET…”
