The fuel gauge stated that I had 300 miles till empty. While going down the road, it went all the way down to empty. I stopped and turned it off and waited a few minutes and turned it back on. It took about 5 minutes but the mileage and gas hand went back up to where it was supposed to be. This morning I filled the tank up and now the computer is reading low fuel and the gas hand is below the red line. Also the check engine light is on.

Wind shield wipers would go on .now they won't go off. Engine light wont go off feels like the car is going to stall out. Mechanic said it will get worse and will start stalling out. I see a lot of complaints on these cars about the same thing I have going on. My gas gauge wont work. I brought my car for the recall for the drivers door last year and now my keys won't unlock the doors. Only the remote will open it. When I called about the doors and windows not working they said my VIN wasn't under recall I called you and you got it fixed for me. I think they need to check the electrical problems on the envoys. I have the same complaints so something is wrong with these vehicle.

I was driving down a hill at approximately 45 miles per hour, when suddenly my envoy just shut off. The vehicle did not accelerate when I pressed on the gas, so I pulled into the first side road to avoid being stuck on a main roadway and when I turned, I had a difficult time turning because the vehicle was off, actually I turned into the wrong side of the road ( thank god there was no incoming traffic). I let my envoy glide as far as it would go until I felt it was some what safe. Parked the envoy, then tried to turn it back on, the engine would turn over, but would not turn on. I had the towing co. Stop at autozone to look into the lit check engine light and they came up with code p0463, failed fuel sending unit. This was a very scary situation for I could of gotten into a fatal accident!!!

Fuel gauge made several jumps back and forth after fueling and pulling away from the pump. Gauge worked intermittently for a couple of weeks then failed completely. Check engine light stays on now in addition to fuel gauge reading of e even after fueling the vehicle. Has been like this for more than a year now and about once every 6 months it springs back to life for a moment then back to e.

Fuel gauge stays on empty even when the tank is filled. Check engine light comes on occasionally. I found countless others with the same problem on other sites. Http://www.fixya.com/cars/t1004109-2006_gmc_envoy_xl_gas_gauge_reads_empty http://www.automotivehelper.com/topic893628.htm http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1f29e4/138 #139 of 151 gmc envoy 2006 gas gauge by edmunds42 apr 26, 2012 (9:47 am) I had 2006 gmc envoy which is giving inaccurate gas level readings. This is known problem with gm suvs from 2005 -2007. The federal safety agency has gotten 668 complaints. Gm agrees to pay 1/2 the fee to fix it. My half was $194. The dealer stated they will not paid 100% because it is not a safety issue. I told them -"try running out of gas on the entry ramp to the george washington bridge and see how safe it is". Gm should recall these vehicles and fix them .

While driving vehicle, started to rough idle and almost caused a vehicle accident because I was unable to stop the car while driving, engine shutdown while driving and lost all power and braking & steering ability, restated vehicle and got burning gas smell from vehicle exhaust pipe and check engine light on with code p0014, got vehicle serviced and had new sensor installed but now getting pinging sound from engine under load and while driving at speed and minor vibration while at idle. I feel this is a serious issue with this vehicle where almost feel unsafe driving vehicle due to running risk of engine shutdown while at speed and unable to steer or brake when engine stalls due to this condition with code p0014 in cars computer. Would really like to be contacted about this issue, gm should have a recall to inspect these systems and provide free repairs of any faulty sensors and provide a full service check on this vehicles. I felt real unsafe to drive this vehicle due to worrying about causing engine damage or having a accident because of this high end failure of this componet

Last year my 2006 gmc envoy lost power and the engine light came on while I was driving. I had to quickly move out of the way of traffic to avoid a car accident. Gmc also took my money for repairs that should have been covered under the warranty. Recently,04/17/12, I filled my gas tank up and the fuel gauge went to empty after filling. Every time I fill the tank, it goes to empty and then after driving a bit the gauge starts re-registering, 52,000 miles on the vehicle now. Now I believe these two incidents are related and gmc is not being cooperative: to fix at no cost a repair that involves hundreds of thousands of their vehicles. What if I did get into an accident with my family last year? Gmc needs to step up to recall a know defect to the fuel system failures.
