What owners wrote
Fuel level sensor (2006 GMC envoy xlt) it was floating back and forth at first then it rests on "e" and the light stays on and the alarm keeps ringing that my fuel level is low. It has left me stranded more than once. I have contacted GM and was told that they have had several vehicles come in with the same problem. Now it doesn't float at all it just stays on "e" and the light and bells are on.
My 2006 GMC envoy xl gas gauge reads empty after filling, then slowly moves up after driving but will continue to lose pressure until it reads empty and the light is on. Sometimes it will just remain on the e an the light will be on when I have gas in my vehicle.
