FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY WITH 46,952 MILES ON IT. ONE DAY IN APRIL 2011, WITH A 3/4 TANK OF GAS, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED UNEXPECTEDLY TO EMPTY. THE BELLS STARTED GOING OFF THE MESSAGES CAME ON THE DASH, THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS LITERALLY SCARED ME TO DEATH. I THOUGHT THE GAS TANK HAD RUPTURED AND THAT ALL MY GAS HAD LEAKED OUT. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I MADE IT TO WORK AND IMMEDIATELY LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS LEAKING. THERE WAS NOTHING. I WENT INTO WORK AND WORRIED ALL DAY ABOUT HOW I WAS GOING TO GET TO A GAS STATION. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO GO HOME, I STARTED THE ENVOY AND THE GAS GAUGE READ BACK TO THE 3/4 FULL TANK. I STARTED ON MY WAY HOME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAUGE DROPPED AGAIN. EVER SINCE THAT DAY, EVERY TIME WE START THE ENVOY, THE GAUGE WILL NOT READ PAST "EMPTY" AND THE WARNING BELLS/MESSAGES COME ON ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES, SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I'M JUST DRIVING TO WORK. IT CAME TO THE POINT WHERE WE DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE MUCH ANYMORE. WITH WINTER COMING, I HAVE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AS I NEED A DEPENDABLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PROBLEM IS A FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. WHATEVER IT IS, WE FEEL THAT GM SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR US AND VERY SOON. WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND AS I AM VERY UNNERVED ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION. THANK YOU *TR
