NHTSA Complaint #10481323 — 2005 GMC ENVOY

AFTER RECEIVING RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP AND SENDER,GAS GAUGE STARTED ACTING UP. WHEN FILLING, GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY WITH LIGHT ON OR WOULD GO ALL AROUND PASS FULL. WIFE HAD TO USE TRIP METER TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN TANK. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID LEVEL SENSOR FAILED AND REPLACED SAME AT NO COST. PICKED CAR UP AND WAS DRIVING ABOUT WEEK, WHEN WIFE SAID GAUGE NOT WORKING AGAIN. CHECKED AND FOUND WHEN CAR WAS STARTED GAUGE WENT TO HALF, TURNED CAR OFF GAUGE STAYED AT HALF AND WHEN STARTED AGAIN WENT TO 3/4 FULL. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND GAUGE WENT PASS FULL. CALLED DEALER TO ASK IF GM HAD COME UP WITH SOMETHING FOR THEIR CARS TO MAKE FUEL SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $5.00 PER GAL. THEY SAID NO, SO TOOK CAR BACK TO HAVE CHECKED AGAIN. THIS TIME WAS TOLD IT WAS CLUSTER WHICH WAS BAD. SO HAD REPLACED AT A COST OF $486.10 AND GUESS WHAT NOT PART OF RECALL. SO HAD TO PAYOUT OF POCKET. I TOLD THEM THEY NEED TO STOP PUTTING SO MANY CHINESE PARTS INTO SO CALLED MADE IN AMERICA CARS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT TALK TO EACH OTHER. JUST CROSSING FINGERS IT WILL GET ME TO MIDWEST AND BACK BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE GOES BAD. NEED THE GOOD OLD DAYS BACK WHEN YOU DIDN'T NEED A COMPUTER TO TROUBLE SHOOT A COMPUTER IN YOUR CAR. OH BY THE WAY, YOU CANNOT EXPECT THE POLITICIANS TO CALL FOR GM TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS, BECAUSE IT MIGHT LOWER THEIR STOCKS FROM INSIDE TRADING, WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THEY WERE BAILING GM OUT FROM BANKRUPTCY. *TR
