NHTSA Complaint #10440016 — 2005 GMC ENVOY

I WAS GETTING MY TANK FILLED WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE PEGGED OUT PAST FULL, THEN BOUNCED DOWN TO EMPTY. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES THEN WENT BACK TO FULL. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUED TO BOUNCE AROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE KNEW IF WE HAD ENOUGH GAS WAS TO FILL IT AND USE THE TRIP METER. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS CEASED TO MOVE AT ALL SINCE APRIL 2011. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL SINCE THE INCIDENT. I LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT IT IS A MAJOR PAIN TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WHEN 3 PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD RELY ON IT. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, ONLY TO LEARN THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I PRICED A NEW CLUSTER AND IT WAS OVER $500. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE STILL HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FUEL WITH OUR TRIP METER. GM SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY HAD NO PROBLEM TAKING A BAILOUT. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN BUYING GM PRODUCTS FOR YEARS, HOWEVER, NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WILL EVER OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT IF THEY CAN'T DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CONSUMERS, AND DO IT NOW. NOT 5 YEARS FROM NOW!! *TR
