| 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. | |||

| The fuel indicator gages 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. | |||

| Car showed half tank of gas but cut off and wouldnt 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. | |||

| 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 ridiculuous. 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. surley to goodness the president of gmc would have the common sense to know that too many unsatisfied customers could potentially result in a signifcant drop of sales. . | |||

| 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 didnt have. when i took it in for my inspection this year, my mechanic told me he has replaced so many of these already. i recieved a letter today by gmc that they will pay for half if i take it to a gmc dealer. i dont 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. | |||

| 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 guage 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| The fuel gauge frequently stops working or gives incorrect readings while driving. initially this only occured when the fuel tank was above 3/4 full but has since started happening regardles 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. | |||

| 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. | |||
| 05/02/2011 | |||
| 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. | |||

| I was so happy to read online that the national highway traffic safety administration is finally checking into the problem with the fuel guages 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 guages 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.. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| Gmc envoy fuel guage 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. | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 heistates (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. | |||

| 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 unkown locations including high crime areas of baltimore city to complete real estate appraisals. i have actually wittness drug deals take place less than 100 feet from my vehical. if i run out of gas in one of these undesirable locations death is not out of the question, at a minimum there would certianly be robbery and asault. 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 vehical for this very common expensive issue. please help! | |||

| After purchasing a supposed certified pre owned gmc 2007 envoy, the gas gauge has gone bad which is causing the check eningine light to remain on iess 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 saftey 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. | |||

| 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 | |||

| My 2007 gmc envoy gas gauge started reading innacurately one day as i was filling the gas tank...it went up as it was filling to about 3/4 of a tank and then went straight down to e and the tank was completely full. it bounced around over the next 2-3 weeks and finally quit working all together. the low fuel indicator is always on as it registers e all the time now. i have ran out of gas a few times. i am a nurse who is on call and cannot be left stranded. my husband had a brain injury and i am now the sole provider in the home and i cannot afford the part and labor....i am very disappointed...needs to be recalled!!!!!!! | |||

| Around 65,000 miles the fuel gauge consistently fluctuated while driving and now no longer works. this resulted in me being stranded in a mall parking lot with no idea why my car was not working. i got into my car and tried to start it with no success. the dealer said my fuel sensor would need to be replaced and since it was out of warranty i would be responsible for all charges. i have not fixed the gauge yet so i have to refill my tank every 250 miles so i dont stall while driving. i do a lot of highway driving due to my long commute and it is quite stressful to not know how much gas i have! | |||

| The fuel gauge in 2007 gmc envoy doesnt read properly....even with a full tank the gauge says empty. im 8 mths pregnant and this is a safety issue. i depend on having a gas gauge that works and if as many people are having the same issue, gmc needs to step up to the plate and fix this........ | |||

| When i start my car every morning the fuel gauge starts out correctly and then when i start to travel the gauge drops to empty. after i travel approximately 15 min the gauge will start to climb to about the approx correct fuel amount then it drops down again. i can usually get a good reading after i fill the tank but when i turn the engine off it starts all over again. this has been going on for two weeks now. the consequences are that i am not sure what my fuel level is unless i completely fill the tank. i havent done any corrective measures yet. | |||
