Fuel gauge is inaccurate often reads empty when full. when fuel gauge gives false reading engine warning light comes on. engine performance becomes erratic. *tr
Fule gage shows empty. same also occured on my 2006 envoy. gm will not repair either envoy unless i pay approx $600. i would like to see a recall and the parts used to last. safty is also a concern as check light goes on and off and you have to estimate fule used. i see on line that this is a problem for gm. has gm improved this fuel sender?
After purchasing a supposed "certified pre owned" gmc 2007 envoy, the gas gauge has gone bad which is causing the check engine light to remain on less than 1 yr after purchase. this problem is causing an automatic failure in ny dmv vehicle yearly inspection. after taking this to a private mechanic and plugging in the obd,he informed me that this has become a major issue. the fuel sending unit has to be replaced. the cost of replacement is outrageous for a vehicle i have owned for less than 1 yr. this has caused me to run out of fuel several times due to not knowing how much fuel is left in the tank. once was on a major interstate in ny. please help myself as well as the many other people i have read about on the internet who are forced to make these costly repairs due to gm negligence just to be able to have the vehicle legally on the road. this is a safety issue that could kill someone on a major highway if they were unable to get to a shoulder or off the highway quickly and safely. *tr
I have a 2007 gmc envoy slt with 49,000 miles, still owe $6000 and fuel gauge reads constant empty. i have been told that to change a fuel level sensor, that the gas tank would have to be dropped and sensor replaced @ $91.00 per hour plus parts. i feel this to be a safety issue because i travel to alot of unknown locations including high crime areas of baltimore city to complete real estate appraisals. i have actually witness drug deals take place less than 100 feet from my vehicle. if i run out of gas in one of these undesirable locations death is not out of the question, at a minimum there would certainly be robbery and assault. what i don't understand is why after several 100 reports of this same issue why gmc will not help with the expense of repairing this issue or recall the vehicle for this very common expensive issue. please help! *tr
Hello, did gmc will do something with the fuel sensor? i have gmc envoy 2007, and fuel sensor stopped working properly. i contacted the dealer and the representative sad that fuel sensor replacements work will cost you $600. it is not fare. i found that a lot of people have the same problem, and gmc did not responded to that problem at all. one investigation already opens for this fuel sensor problem recently for trailblazer. i was driving on i-95 and my car started to send message 'fuel level is low' and fuel gage show 'empty tank', but i have a full tank of gas! i made an emergency stop on i-95, which creates a back up traffic and not safety driving conditions for other drivers. right now i driving with that problem and let me tell you, it is 'nightmare'. 'fuel level low' signal disturbing operation of the car, you have to press controls button on steering wheel and always check 'how many miles you drove already', but if mileage counter will be working or you forget to 'reset', you can stop immediately on highway and create badly accident. *tr
Fuel sending unit failure. vehicle has only 42,000 miles on it. many forums list this as a problem, so it is obviously a common defect, yet gm will not address the problem. *tr
The fuel light (gas gauge) reads empty and the indicator light stays on constantly. the dealer says this is a common problem, but it not under recall by gmc, so the fix would be nearly $350.00. gm is aware this is a common problem on the 2007 envoy. *tr
Fuel sending unit is defective after 40,000 miles. tank readings inaccurate. i live in an urban area where it is not safe to be out of fuel and broken down on side of road. dealer admits this problem is common for gm envoy/rainer/trailblazer - numerous online forums list this as a defect - yet gm does nothing to rectify the problem. item is out of warranty and gm won't cover it. *tr
I was so happy to read online that the national highway traffic safety administration is finally checking into the problem with the fuel gauges on 2007 gmc envoys. i started to have a problem just before my envoy was 3 years old and about to go out of warranty. the first time that i had a problem it stalled when i stopped at a light after exiting i-95. the next day it stalled when i was coming off of i-95. i took it to the dealer and they said that the throttle mechanism needed to be cleaned. had the service done and it still was stalling. took it back to the dealer and they kept it for 3 days and said that because they could not find a code there was nothing they could do and it would be too costly for them to investigate further. the car continues to stall out just when my gas tank is getting low (1/4 of a tank or less). it seems to be okay when it is running at a high speed but when i slow down on an exit or come to a stop it stalls. sometimes the engine will rev and then catch and sometimes it will stall out. sometimes it just quietly quits --- nothing shows up on the dash - no lights or gauges show anything. i have noticed that my miles remaining is usually much lower after it stalls than before. i have filed a complaint with gm and i was made to feel like i was a fool. they insisted that there was nothing wrong and that they had no complaints. the dealer also treated me the same way. i have considered getting rid of the car but i basically like it and work around the problem by not letting the gas tank go below 1/4. i hope that your organization will be able to do something to help. it really is a very dangerous situation and could certainly result in a rear end collision. plus i paid a lot of money and have a right to expect that when there is something wrong with a gmc product gmc would know how to fix it.. *tr
Fuel gauge started not working properly. initially it would show half full when filling up, then the gauge stopped working completely causing me to be stranded on the interstate. the cost involved to fix it at the dealership was too high so i have chosen to calculate my mileage when i fill up. *tr
