NHTSA Complaint #10447242 — 2005 GMC ENVOY XL 370

THE FUEL SENSOR ON MY VEHICLE SWINGS WILDLY FROM EMPTY TO FULL EVEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK HAS JUST BEEN FILLED. THIS RESULTS IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO CONSTANTLY BE ON. I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR DUE TO THE FAULTY SENSOR. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR YEARS. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST ONLY IF I TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER AND THAT MY PORTION OF THE COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $500 - $600 DOLLARS. THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE COST IF I TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN BY GM FOR YEARS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A COMPLETE RECALL TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PART(S). *TR
