In owners' own words
Ran out of gas multiple times, due to the gas gauge not working. Researched issue on the internet and noticed multiple drivers with same issue. Gas gauge does not read correct amount or continuously "empty". Have heard instances of other drivers with rusted/eroded fuel gauge sensor in the gas tank, causing inaccurate gas gauge. Have been stuck in dangerous places after running out of gas. Fuel system, gasoline

My 2005 GMC envoy sl only has 47,000 miles. I experienced dash electronics concerning warning indicator lights ("power train cooloing fan at 46,000 miles") and gas tank level gauage stopped working at 40,000 miles. I have been told that this issue related to an overall sensor problem and will effect the headlights and other safety related issues. Fuel system, gasoline · reported at 40,000 miles
