NHTSA Complaint #10456632 — 2006 GMC ENVOY XL

NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FOR THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN ACTING VERY STRANGE. I HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS AND DRIVE VERY LITTLE DAILY (MAYBE 10 MILES) AND IN 3 DAYS IT WENT FROM 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT MY GAS WAS LEAKING OUT, BUT NO GAS SPOTS OR LEAKS. NOW, IT WAS ON EMPTY, LIGHT CAME ON, AND STARTED TO BING, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALSO. I FILLED THE CAR UP AND FUEL LIGHT IS STILL ON AND SO IS THE ENGINE LIGHT. INDICATING A PROBLEM AT THE FUEL GAGE. I LOVE THIS CAR, I HAVE NEVER LOVED A CAR MORE...BUT, NOW READING ALL THE HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS...AND THE COST TO HAVE IT FIXED IS WAYYYYYYYYY MORE THAN I CAN PAY OR AFFORD. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I AM GOING TO PAY THE FIRST HALF OF MY RE TAXES AND MY HOME OWNERS INSURANCE, I USED TO WORK FOR YEARS WITH AUTO DEALERS AND WITH THIS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THE MANUFACTURE NORMALLY DOES A RECALL AND FIXES THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS, IF I KEEP DRIVING IT WITHOUT GETTING IT FIXED WILL I CREATE MORE PROBLEMS AND THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I AM ON EMPTY SINCE IT IS NOW ALWAYS ON EMPTY?????? *TR
