Terrible product terrible product that should be investigated. The failure and current mileages were approximately 40,000. At that time it would work some times and not others. The Envoy's high feature content, strong powertrains, impressive on- and off-road ability, and varied work talents earned it praise and distinction. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer nor repaired. So I noticed there was no recall and I think you may want to check on this and have one. Do you run a fuel system cleaner with your oil changes? Well i wait for more than 3 months filling out the tank and tracking the mileage.
After shutting the envoy off and restarting it the gauge seemed to work. The Envoy is further hindered by an IntelliChoice Ownership Cost Value Rating that sees most iterations fall between Average and Worse than Average. The manufacturer was not contacted. I did, and this problem has a cost equivalent of almost a thousand, which with 50% of discount with the letter will be close to five hundred. I bought a Chevy trailblazer 2002 in 2006 which i loved, but unfortunately somebody had crashed and after fixing I sold. I re-set the gas cap several times and it did not fix the problem. So what are we to do about this? I was raised learning how strong they were, smooth driving and extremely comfortable.
After shutting the envoy off and restarting it the gauge seemed to work. Very sturdy, comfortable and reliable, it never gave us any problems. Well i wait for more than 3 months filling out the tank and tracking the mileage. Inflating the air spring prevents sagging and returns ride height to normal, resulting in a more refined ride, both laden and unladen. The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer for inspection and no repairs were performed. Dealer service advisor stated problem is the fuel sensor suppressor located in the fuel tank, states tank must be dropped down during repair, recommended should replace fuel pump now since tank was accessible good opportunity in replacing also this item is covered with lifetime warranty. Complaint Number: 10425683 Incident Date: October 6, 2010 Date Added to File: September 15, 2011 Description of the Complaint: Filled vehicle with gas and the fuel gauge registered empty.
Nice idea, but that is not how it really works! The check engine light also comes on. While the V-8 provides more torque, it feels only marginally faster fitted to the heavier Envoy configurations; the eight-cylinder engine's appeal is seen in its towing ability. Having it fixed is quite costly. Now it never reads full and when the tank is half empty the light will come on. Well need less to say the units went out to be sold to consumer. Numerous variations allow shoppers to find the right bodystyle and powertrain combination for their needs and budget. The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer.
The seating position is high, but there's plenty of head- and shoulder room for six-foot-plus drivers. I also removed my roof racks to cut down on resistance. To lessen the possibility of injury caused by deployment, the airbags fire at a reduced rate for modest impacts and more quickly for severe crashes.

This problem occurs while vehicle is in operation.
Inflating the air spring prevents sagging and returns ride height to normal, resulting in a more refined ride, both laden and unladen. The only reason it is being sold is due to financial necessity. Complaint Number: 10198983 Incident Date: May 30, 2007 Date Added to File: August 9, 2007 Description of the Complaint: Reported earlier gas odometer broke when fueling vehicle on 2 seperate occassions, first time fixed, then again while fueling gas, it broke. Consumption can be affected depending on the way the car is driven. If do you want to save gas and money. I reset my trip meter after every fill up, how annoying. The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer.
It has read empty ever since with the exception of moving slightly above E for a few min shortly after filling tank. I have a 2005 Envoy and it just started smelling of gas fumes really bad and as I was reading some information on your site I have also agree it is a manufacturing problem you see where it was sealed not by oil clay or any gooey substance of that source its secured by welding I know this because I work for nummi and I was a qc inspector and did the tear down on the gas tanks for safety it sounds like some tanks slip by because not every one is ck there random checks I believe its the O yes O ring that was not properly welded properly causing leaks that is the gas fume I am smelling in my current Envoy 2005. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or a local mechanic. Prior to the failure, the contact noticed that the liftgate would not stay in the up position. The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. This indicated that the vehicle was low on fuel, but in reality, the vehicle was full of gasoline. Nice idea, but that is not how it really works! Does not register how much fuel is in the tank.
The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer for inspection and no repairs were performed. Guess I will make a trip to the dealer and see what they say. Purchased it new and had planned on keeping it forever! Other trim levels are equipped standard with a 4. Well need less to say the units went out to be sold to consumer. An OnStar system with recently improved voice recognition software comes standard on all models.
I have lived with this problem and it is a problem not knowing how much gas is in the tank for several month. They achieved moderate success, but pieces such as the climate control don't look integrated into the center console. The contact stated that the rear window on the liftgate suddenly exploded. I re-set the gas cap several times and it did not fix the problem. The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer for inspection and no repairs were performed. It then would fluctuate wildly until a large amount of gas had been used. While the V-8 provides more torque, it feels only marginally faster fitted to the heavier Envoy configurations; the eight-cylinder engine's appeal is seen in its towing ability.
