Gas gauge bounced around intermittently for weeks regardless of fuel level. Now it just reads empty. Air compressor hasn't worked since last november. Fuel pump went out last night. Remote keyless entry has never worked. Check engine light is always on. What a lemon. Will never buy gmc ever again.

What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy xl. The contact stated that after refueling the fuel tank, the fuel gauge would fluctuate and provide erroneous fuel level readings. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and they advised him to replace the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 61,240. Updated 12/12/11*lj updated 01/18/12
After filling the vehicle tank with gasoline, I started the vehicle and the gas gage immediately went to empty and the alarm sounded. The gage recovered after the level dropped to about 1/3 and operated correctly for the rest of the tank. Then the gage became more erratic and has no indication of the amount in the tank. I understand that this has been a common issue with the 2006 envoy and is very expensive to repair as they must replace the fuel pump and sending unit in the tank.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc envoy. The contact stated the vehicle stalled due to lack of gasoline fuel despite that the fuel level gauge indicated that there was fuel in the vehicle. The contact stated that the needle would fluctuate back and forth between fuel levels. The contact believed there to be a problem with the fuel pump. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The failure and current mileage was 45,000. Updtated 2/17/11 *cn updated 02/23/11
The fuel gauge shows empty even when the tank is full. After the gauge has read empty for a while, the engine light then comes on. This is going to cost me 724.00 to get fixed, b/c the fuel pump needs replacing.
