2005 GMC Envoy Fuel system Problems

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!

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.

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. *TR

AT LEES THAN 1/4 TANK OF FUEL THE GAS GAUGE IS CLOSE, AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE GOES WAY PAST FULL AND WILL STAY LIKE THAT UNTIL FUEL IS BELOW 1/4 TANK. LAST TIME THE TRUCK TOOK 19.85 GALLONS IN A 20 GALLON TANK UNTIL IT STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN. ONE TANK IT WORKED FINE AND NEXT FILL UP IT WAS WAY BEYOND FULL AGAIN. AT THE SAME TIME WHEN FUEL GAUGE IS WRONG, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE OFF. MANY TIMES FREEZING AT 35MPH WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH. AFTER MANY RESETS OF IGNITION, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL COME BACK. ALSO WHEN ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE, THE RADIO HAS NO AUDIO. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, THE RADIO WILL COME BACK AND WORK ON ONE SPEAKER. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS OUT. WHEN WEATHER IS WARMER, ALL 3 FUNCTIONS SEEM TO WORK REGULARLY. BELOW 50 DEGREES, ALL MALFUNCTION. *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

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. *TR
