When vehicle is stationary, or in motion, the fuel gauge gives inaccurate gas reading. fuel gauge modulates from empty to full continuously. empty light comes on when gas is in car when driving. check engine light comes on when empty light comes on. it is impossible to drive this car with a peace of mind given this problem. please note that this exact problem with 2007 envoy is all over the internet. *tr
Vehicles fuel gauge will constantly read anywhere from e to full, especially after fill up. never know exactly what amount of fuel is in vehicle. have to keep trip meter cleared at each fill up to make an accurate guess at how many miles i have left in the tank. sometimes the check engine light will also come on at same time as the gauge fluctuates constantly. *tr
Inaccurate fuel gauge caused the 2007 gmc envoy to unexpectedly run out of gasoline and stall as the vehicle was turning at an intersection. the engine shut off and the power steering failed to operate as other vehicles were approaching the intersection. i was not able to get the vehicle completely off of the road before it stopped. this could have caused a serious crash. gm needs to be held accountable for correcting this serious safety related defect. why has there been a recall covering certain vehicles under nhtsa campaign number 14v223000 but not in the case of this 2007 gmc envoy when the end result of the defect can also cause this vehicle to run out of fuel and increase the risk of a crash? *tr
General motors issued a special coverage adjustment-fuel level sensor contact wear notice # 10054e to cover 100% of replacing a malfunctioning fuel gauge. my fuel gauge malfunctioned as outlined in the notice and i had my fuel gauge repaired at my own expense. when i learned of the special coverage, i completed the general motors product field acton customer reimbursement request form and sent the required copies of receipts that showed all required information to hendrick gmc via fax on 9/13 and hand delivered the same information on 10/4. i have never received my refund for the repair i paid for out of pocket. i have called and e-mailed the general manager of hendrick gmc; i have called and tried to speak to him. i called the 800 number provided in the notification to file a complaint. i have left messages for a team leader at the customer assistance center and he has not returned my calls nor are they sending me the promised refund. i believe that this special coverage adjustment is just a way for gmc to not to have to issue a recall, and they are picking and choosing who they are refunding. gmc should not be allowed to use such a dishonest ploy to avoid paying to repair a defect. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. the contact stated that gasoline fuel fumes were emitted from inside of the vehicle. the failure was recurring. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 117,000.
Cpsc#i1290600a. 2007 gmc envoy. consumer stated the fuel gauge has been sporadically working. *ln the consumer stated after she filled the tank, it would go empty, then back to full. on one occasion, as she was driving on the freeway, the vehicle started to slow down. the gas gauge read full, but apparently, the vehicle was out of gas.
Nearly 2 months ago i noticed the gas gauge in my vehicle going haywire. i will fill the tank, and within a mile or 2, the gauge will drop to e, and the light will come on, bell will sound, etc. it may or may not adjust while driving. this happens constantly, the gauge is showing 1/2 full, then empty, then 1/4 full. at any given time, i have no way of knowing how much fuel is in my tank. i am deathly afraid that i will run out while driving with my children on the interstate. i have researched the problem a little on the internet, and found many, many others with this problem. i firmly believe this should be a recall issue. *tr
The fuel indicator gauges from full to empty within seconds even though the tank has been filled completely. the gage remains on empty with the 'low fuel' indicator warning light on for the length of the trip. *tr
The vehicle's fuel gauge went to full while driving down the road. it started moving all over the place and now goes to empty upon fill up at the gas station. the more you drive the more fuel it reads. the gauge floats all over the place and vehicle has now ran out of gas twice while driving down the road. gm was contacted and explained it is a known issue and at first offered no help. upon talking to several 'managers' they agreed to cover 50% because they know there is a problem. the cost is still over $250 for the repair. why does the owner have to cover the cost of a known problem part? why is gm not responsible for this? *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. the contact stated that the fuel gauge would read inaccurately, causing the fuel sensor to activate. the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and made an attempt to cover a portion of the repair costs. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 57,000.
The vehicle shows a service engine light. the gas gauge fluxuates from no fuel to full tank randomly. during a single visit the vehicle shows a low fuel light and then the gauge goes up to full and back. this has been happening for 2 months. the service center can not reproduce the problem because the tank is full at dealership. they want to do unrelated service to justify their time. i have paid for the extended warranty. *tr
I filled my gas tank up, but when i start my vehicle it reads empty with the low fuel light on. the check engine light has also illuminated as well. *tr
In early august 2011, the fuel gauge began reading erratically for no apparent reason. in early september 2011, the problem caused me to run out of gas while driving. fortunately, it did not pose a danger, but it could lead to being rear-ended--potentially a very dangerous situation! so far, we haven't fixed the problem but will closely monitor the trip odometer for now. *tr
Fuel gauge is erratic. this appears to be a very common problem. dealer said the fuel level sensor is defective. i have 58,000 miles on my 07 envoy denali. safety is a concern now that i do not know how much gas i really have. *tr
Car showed half tank of gas but cut off and wouldn't start. after being told it may be gas i put gas in car and it started. i filled my gas tank up 2 days later then cranked up and the car still showed empty with gas light on. *tr
Stopped for fuel and turned off the motor. filled tank until the pump automatically shut off. replaced filler cap and tightened to spec. when i turned on the key, the gauges went through normal diagnostics. when i started the envoy, the fuel gauge immediately went to empy, the low fuel light turned on, and a warning chime rang. while driving, the gauge would fluctuate, but never gave an accurate reading. eventually, the check engine light also lit after about twenty miles. the next day, the fuel gauge appeared to work normally. however, since the first incident, this has happened with each subsequent fill-up. *tr
Faulty gas gauge on my 2007 gmc envoy. does not show right amount of gas in tank. i have ran out of gas 3 times in the past 2 months. i've tried to keep track of gas by mileage, but that gets tricky. *tr
Erratic fuel gauge behavior 2007 gmc envoy. gauge works correctly from 1/2 tank to full tank only - immediately drops to empty after going below 1/2 tank. shows correct level when first being started up - then immediately sinks to empty upon driving. *tt
Fuel gauge reads empty but tank full. fuel tank says there is gas but ran out of gas...tank empty. *tr
I have a full tank of gas, but gauge shows empty, and never goes above 1/8 of a tank. "low fuel" warning light on constantly. *tr
I have a 2007 gmc envoy and the fuel sending unit is malfunctioning. yesterday i had to walk to a gas station because i ran out of gas even though the gas gauge still read a quarter tank. i am not the only one having this problem after doing a search on the internet. *tr
I have a 2007 gmc envoy and the gas gauge does not work. initally, when i would fill up the tank it would work for at least a 100 miles; over time it has gotten to the point that the gauge never works and is always on empty. i have to monitor my mileage meter to know when i need to get gas. *tr
Fuel tank light comes on and off constantly, gauge bounces back and forth. occurs daily, several times per day. changed gas cap, did not matter. hazard and very difficult to judge amount of fuel. should be a recall! 2007 gmc envoy with 28,000 miles. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. the contact stated that the fuel gauge did not read properly. the fuel gauge would display readings of half full or empty even when the fuel tank was full. when the fuel tank was empty, the fuel gauge would display a reading of half full or full. the contact made an appointment to have the vehicle inspected. the failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 50,000.
2007 gmc envoy fuel gauge not registering correct amount. swings erratically from full to empty regardless of amount of fuel in tank. this is apparently a common issue with these vehicles based on internet message boards with fuel sensor failure most commonly cited problem. there is a risk of running out of fuel without warning and creating a hazardous driving situation. have seen on msn that nhtsa is investigating so am adding my complaint to the pile and asking that gm be required to recall these vehicles to correct this defect. i have not paid for sensor replacement at this time. *tr
Fuel gauge registers empty even after filling tank. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. the contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to display an accurate fuel level reading after dispensing fuel into the fuel tank. the failure progressed over a period of time and eventually the fuel gauge became inoperable. the dealer and manufacturer were notified and stated that the failure was related to the fuel tank senor. the vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 75,000. ..updated 10/19/11 *bf updated 10/24/11
The fuel gage stays on empty with the low fuel indicator light illuminated once you fill the vehicle to full and then the check engine light comes on, after several hours the fuel gage will move to the full mark and the check engine light may or may not go out. leaving you unsure with the amount of fuel you have in vehicle. this occurs even after shutting the vehicle off and on.
The fuel gauge would have different readings while driving. gm replaced the fuel level gauge at a cost of $400. *tr
The fuel guage does not work properly. the tank can be full of gas, but the gauge will show that the tank is empty. *tt
I have a 2007 gmc envoy that the gas gauge shows that there is more gas than actually is. i have ran out of gas a couple of times. *tr
-fuel gauge was acting funny, would go from full to empty and not read the correct fuel level. - dealer stated that the gauge had gone bad and it was replaced under extended warranty, cost was covered less deductible. *tr
Went to fill my gas tank on my 2007 gmc envoy and topped it off. went i went into the car the fuel gauge was going up and down and then went to empty and the low fuel message and service engine light came on. i took it in and was told 871.00 to repair which i didn't have. when i took it in for my inspection this year, my mechanic told me he has replaced so many of these already. i received a letter today by gmc that they will pay for half if i take it to a gmc dealer. i don't think this is fair. they can put parts in that will fail then make us come to their dealerships to pay upwards of 100.00 an hour to repair. *tr
The fuel gauge frequently stops working or gives incorrect readings while driving. initially this only occurred when the fuel tank was above 3/4 full but has since started happening regardless of fuel level in the tank. the gauge no longer provides accurate fuel level readings at any level. due to the fact that my vehicle is no longer covered by the manufacturers warranty i have not pursued a repair. the repair is very expensive based on the many complaints i've found on the internet regarding this problem. *tr
Gasoline gauge is not displaying accurate amount of gasoline. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. the contact noticed that the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate reading and she was unable to determine how much gasoline was in the vehicle. the failure began three weeks ago. the dealer was notified and informed the contact that there were no related recalls. the manufacturer was contacted and agreed to pay for the parts but not the labor. the vehicle was not repaired. the current mileages were 42,000. the failure mileages were 41,600.
Fuel gage fails intermittently, can not tell how much fuel you have left. i try not to let it go much below half full for fear of running out of gas and stalling in trafic.
The gas gauge on my 2007 envoy has been acting very erratic lately. each time i fill my gas tank, the gauge remains at empty for maybe a day or so. eventually it goes from empty to full and back to empty several more times. sooner or later it will remain in the full position and seems to act normally. i have also noticed my service engine light coming on for a day or two and finally goes out. that seems to happen after i fill my gas tank. nobody at the dealership seems to be aware of any problems with the fuel gauge in the envoy. but after reading a few of the complaints to this website, i realize there is a problem that general motors does not want to address. *tr
The fuel gage does not register the correct amount of fuel
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. the contact stated that the fuel gauge continued to increase and decrease displaying an inaccurate reading. when gasoline was added to its capacity the fuel gauge displayed that it was empty. the dealer stated the fuel sending unit on the vehicle failed and needed to be replaced. the contact feels that was a safety defect by the manufacturer because the vehicle has so few miles. the failure mileage was 29,000 and the current mileage was 31,000.
Gas gauge no longer accurately senses fuel level. *tr
2007 gmc envoy gas gauge quit working so i don't know when or how much gas i have in the car. then other day i ran out of gas luckily i was close to home. *tr
Fuel gauge reads incorrectly and shows incorrect amount of fuel intermittently. very distracting and unsafe when you are not sure how much fuel you actually have. this has been a problem for some time, and the dealer has indicated it can't make a repair because general motors doesn't consider this a safety issue. this problem began in october, 2010 and continues because of the cost to make repairs. the dealer indicates a parts cost of $500 plus labor. *tr
Gmc envoy fuel gauge goes to empty at approximately a half-full tank. it happens every time it falls to a half tank. i have to reset the odometer, so i know when i am truly getting near empty. this started around the beginning of august. i've called gm & they want me to pay $100 to diagnose the problem when googling the problem there are many envoys & trailblazer posts with the same issue. i have an appointment for diagnosis. *tr
Faulty fuel gauge. will go to full then back to empty and stay at empty just after filling tank. sometimes will go back over to full. problem also causing obd to turn on check engine light. i have run out of fuel and have had vehicle come to stop in traffic. no warning of low fuel because of bad sensor. as per gm tech i spoke to, every gmc suv has the same problem. *tr
Gmc seems to have a problem with their fuel system, i contacted them when my gas guage started acting erractily, was told to take it to dealer and pay 100.00 for diagnosis, i said the problem is all over the internet, she said she wasnt aware. there are too many people having this problem for them to be saying they dont know it. my husband has cancer and he cannot take a chance driving this vehicle because of this problem, the only time you know it has gas in it is when you fill it up! please help us get this resolved, i have a gmc jimmy parked in the driveway that has the exact same problem!
Fuel gage has been going off and on all year. now is sits on empty a lot. the bell goes off to remind me it is empty often, when that is not the case. i have to use my odometer to know when to get gas. very frustrated with gmc on this. said sensor would cost in excess of $500 to repair. that is absolutely ridiculous. then i get this letter indicating that gmc is aware of the problem with the fuel gage in envoys; and they still want me to pay $250 for half of their problem. sounds a little one sided to me. most companies offer to correct their mistakes at their own expense, and certainly not at the expense of the customer. seems to me that good business practices would be the way to go. surely to goodness the president of gmc would have the common sense to know that too many unsatisfied customers could potentially result in a significant drop of sales. . *tr
About one month ago, after i filled the gas tank in my 2007 gmc envoy, the gas meter would shift from f to e as i was driving and the light would come on. i would pull over to the side of the road, turn it off and back on. at that time, the meter would raise back up to the f but as i am driving again, it would drop back down and the empty indicator light would come on again. it has been doing this for a month now and i was even stuck on the side of the road once, njdot came to give me gas, thinking that was the problem, and the car still would not start. had to get it towed to a gas station, where it then started and i was able to make it home. the car also hesitates (drags) when i'm trying to give it gas, as if it's going to cut off. i was told it was a clogged fuel line and will have it checked but this can cost me $600-800 that seems to be a problem with these trucks. i have read many stories from others who have the same vehicle. *tr
Fuel gauge reading is erratic and provides false information. as of 6/1/2011, the gauge bounces back and forth while driving between fuel low and full. being told entire sending unit requires replacement and parts/labor cost is $750. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. after filling the fuel tank, the contact noticed fifteen minutes later that the fuel gauge was still on empty. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. the failure mileage was approximately 44,000. the current mileage was approximately 46,000.
