NHTSA Complaint #10359488 — 2006 GMC ENVOY

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 . *TR
