Defect investigations
Fuel level gauge system failure
The office of defects investigations (ODI) analyzed complaint data provided by General Motors (GM) as well as complaints submitted to ODI from consumers.In total, there were 5,089 unique reports indicating an inaccurate fuel level reading while driving.General Motors stated that this condition occurs when the contacts of the fuel sensor wear prematurely.Most of the complaints indicated an empty fuel gauge reading after filling the tank.Less than 10 percent of theODI complaints involved an engine stall incident.During this investigation, GM developed a remedy procedure and issued special coverage bulletin instructing dealers to install a new design fuel level sensor.The bulletin was sent to dealers on August 10, 2011 and the owner letter mailing began on August 15, 2011.See the investigative file for copies of GM's bulletin and owner letter.This preliminary evaluation is closed.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Lost brakes when driving on street replace master cyclinder both brake lines power steering pump is broken feul gauge doesn.t work what a mess
My problem is covered under recall 14291 but my year isn't included. Despite numerous bulb replacements and mechanic visits, my vehicle's low-beam headlights do not work. I've contacted gm, but they offered no solution that's affordable. I have no headlight other than high-beams. Please help and make gm investigate this problem on all their 2005 model year vehicles.
Stalling out in intersection,fuel gage and speed odometer ,air bags defaulting,shacking in front end , when driving. Verry dangerous.
I was driving at 30 MPH down the road and the side air bags deployed without me having an accident or hitting anything the seat belt came loose and hit my daughter breaking her glasses. There was no warning at all just a pop and all came out. My headliner is torn.
The rear window to our 2005 gmc envoy xl shattered when we attempted to close the rear hatch. The window was frozen from the cold weather and when it flexed, it shattered everywhere.
I had trouble with the gauge that shows overheating.I took the car in to put in a thermostat thinking it was the problem,but when I took it in they said that my cluster was bad and the gauges were messed up.I paid $392.00 for the cluster and $100.00 for labor.I bought this vehicle used with 119,000 miles on it on 6/20/2011 and on 2/23/2013 I had the cluster replaced with mileage of 132,356. I put on new brakes at this time since the had a habit of grabbing and making me slide and jerk to a stop.the only problem I have now is the the door locks mess up once in awhile but other than that I take my envoy in every 4000 miles for an oil change and a check up it is now 12/15/2015 and I only have 142,000 miles on it and it is still running ok.I keep checking once a month for recalls on my vehicle sometimes a dome light will come on .but not often.my envoy has not rust and the interior is in as good as it was when I purchased it from the previous owner which is in excellent condition
