  Well, that "recall" will only help a fraction of those affected. It states: "The vehicles affected are Chevy Trailblazers, GMC Envoys and Buick Rainiers produced between 2005 and 2007." My wife's 2000 Envoy had the same problem, so it's not just 2005 and 2007 models!! It effects at least 2000 thru 2007....much more than they admit to. Where the heck do they get their information????

  Written by: nrthnva on Aug 27, 2011 5:13:21 AM

  There is much discussion on the internet concerning the erratic fuel gauge and it appears to be the fuel sensor. While the part may be less than $100, GMC labor rates will push the cost to well over $400. I had a 2000 Envoy which had the same problem but was fixed when I changed fuel cap. Not so with the 2006 and GMC will not accept responsibilty. I tried a ... Read More
