GM is now REIMBURSING $$

[jrSS]

got a letter today from gm that basically says that if u spent money to get the fuel level sensor fixed u will be reimbursed. So does that mean when I had my envoys fixed i get that $$ back too??

 

[jrSS]

Letter

 

[meerschm]

does the letter spell out which models and years, or just your vin?

 

[jrSS]

U gotta take the paper that comes with the letter and have the dealer fill out the sheet then u get a check in the mail within 30 days. I also had my envoy done which I don't have anymore. So if ur on file I am sure but dont quote me you will be reimbursed.

 

[Boricua SS]

Send them both in Jeff... worse they can do is deny the Voy but honor the SS... either way, you shoyld get some change back...

 

[MAY03LT]

Good for you guys! I thought you guys were getting the shaft with the co-pay:wootwoot:

I didn't hear about this. Did anyone know about this before today?

 

[BO TIE SS]

So, does this mean that people who haven't had this fixed yet can now do it for free?

 

[dmanns67]

I didn't hear about this. Did anyone know about this before today?

I received the same recall in the mail about 10 months ago for my 07 LT. GM only paid 50% of the cost though. The letter also mentioned that if I was over 120,000 miles, all parts and labor was full price and out of my pocket.

It's stating that if you had this repair done that gm is gonna give u $$ back. Yes the 50% u paid. This isnt the same letter as 10 mos ago.

I would love to hear a yes to this question lol
I STILL haven't gotten mine fixed yet

 

[Tofer76]

my 03 doesn't seem to suffer from this issue? wonder why?

 

[jrSS]

Because the older style fuel sensors were a better design than the newer junk ones. 06 and up was what the tsb was for. Consider urself lucky!

 

[htseat2000]

I remember having this fix done for my 2006 Chevy trailblazer which ended up getting repoed because my ex didn't make the payments on it. anyways I remember paying 50/50 back in 2008 because it was out of the full warranty, but I think I paid 200 to 250 for the repair. wonder if I would get reimbursed.

I haven't found anything about you guys, but someone on saabworld posted a bulletin which states:

Effective immediately, the 50% customer co-pay policy has been discontinued and GM will pay 100% of the total cost for this repair.

That post and pdf can be found here:

SAAB 9-7X Updated Fuel Level Sensor Special Coverage 10054E/15921E

If anyone has the bulletin number for our trucks please post it here or pm me.

Got letter from isuzu. they will repair free of charge for 10 yrs or 120,000 miles.

Reads that way to me.

 

[navigator]

dang and I just paid(50%) to have mine done in June. At least now I should get a letter in the mail soon and can hopefully get a refund!

 

[djthumper]

I wonder if mine is not a problem or was repaired before I bought it. I was just at the dealer last Friday getting the recall work done on the master switch.

If only that were so. On my 03, I have to use the trip meter to have any idea how much fuel I have left.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

After 4 years, I really should get mine fixed.

 

[oh05ext]

i think our 05 suffers from this issue.the first half of a tank takes forever to go through then the second is gone in less than 2 days usually

 

[BO TIE SS]

I got my letter yesterday. :wootwoot:

I'll get mine fixed, and no more...

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

That was a fun meet.

 

[xhondastyle07x]

So far GM is saying that they will reimburse me for the other 50% of my last claim at 55,000miles. I just had to replace the fuel lever sender a second time and they will not reimburse for a second failure(70,000miles)

 

[dporter]

I had my fuel level sensor replaced in 2011 on the 1/2 off deal so when I ran across this thread I stopped by my dealer (GMC) and inquired about the reimbursement. He looked it up, gave me a copy of the letter which I took to another dealer (Chev)that did the replacement for me and left it with the service manager along with work order receipt that I had. That was Tuesday, I got a check in the mail today (Thursday) for the full amount that I paid. Happy, Happy ,Happy Dave

 

[jrSS]

I did receive 2 checks. One for the voy and 1 for the ss. $120 each.

 

[George]

Finally Received letter today from GM. Covering 100% Its about time its been 5 years with no gas gauge.Going in tomorrow

 

[animal]

Got mine fixed today. Just in time. 119740miles. Glad that letter came last week.

 

[Pittdawg]

Can someone scan a pdf copy of the letter or let me know the tsb for an envoy? I need to get this done but have not received anything from gm. Thanks.

My 08 does this exactly.

 

[Ohiogators]

Well that sucks. My 05 has 126,000 and hasn't had a functioning gauge for 30,000 miles. So I am screwed because they waited long enough that I am over 120k.

You can still see if they'll do half like they were before. Never hurts to ask.

 

[xx_gearhead_xx]

Time to bring in the 07! I had to pay to have the sender on my 06 fixed and that was long before I had found out there was an issue. Glad to hear ppl are getting their money back! :wootwoot:

 

[05TB90TROOPER]

I bought and replaced mine myself any reimbursment still?

 

[RZAwora]

I have an 06 Envoy Denali that the gas gauge doesn't work. I haven't gotten any letter in the mail. But does this mean I can take it into the dealership to get the fuel gauge fixed at no charge?

Should be able to. As long as it doesnt have over 120k miles on it.

Got my letter in the mail today! Will be calling the stealership in the a.m. to schedule an appt.
Better late than never, I suppose...:wootwoot:

I never got the letter but took mine to the dealership (Nucar's Lewes Automall) anyway. They fixed the fuel gauge problem for me at no charge. Also had them do the driver door control module recall work while it was there. If it weren't for this site, I would have never known I could get the fuel gauge fixed for free. Thanks everyone...this place is awesome!

FWIW- just tell the service advisor the fuel gauge issue is covered under GMC Special Policy #10054... That's what my paperwork says.

That's the number on mine, too.

The only difference is, my dealership calls it "Special Coverage 10054".

Yeah it is correctly called a Special Coverage by GMC, however, my dealership was referring to it as a Special Policy, and that's also what was printed on my $0 invoice.

BEWARE !!!!!!!!!!
TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS N/C HA!

SO AFTER HAGGLING WITH THE GM AT THE DEALER SHIP I HAD TO PAY $275.00 FOR TWO LINES AND A PUMP. SO N/C TURNED INTO $275.00 BUCKS !
BRIGHT SIDE I HAVE NEW LINES AND A NEW PUMP. MY BUTT STILL HURTS
