| I was at a stop light and when i pressed on the gas the vehicle stalled. i had to have a tow truck come and give me gas to get me started. this is redicuoulous. now i have a check engine light on because of the stalling cause gunk to get in certain engine parts. i am extremely upset and do not think it is fair that the driver has to pay for 50%. gmc should pay for 100%. period | |||

| I have a 2007 gmc envoy. the fuel gauge reads normal after a fill up and then soon drops to empty. it does not give an accurate reading of fuel in the tank and the low fuel light is usually on. the check engine light is also on. it seems that this is the most common complaint among envoy owners with nhtsa (note there are 5 other name plates under which this vehicle was sold). i have called gmc and they claim no knowledge of the problem. they offered to help me contact a dealer, but were unable to reach one. i called the selling dealer on my own. the service adviser seemed to know what i was talking about but was non-committal. the defect started after the warranty period expired due to time, but not millage. finally i have always considered this an annoyance but i recently changed my opinion on that. my wife, who drives my kids around, pointed out that if she runs too long without topping off or if unknown to her, her fuel millage declines she very well could run out of gas and be hit by a vehicle behind her. there would be no warning to her or to the vehicles behind her ie no brake lights to warn that she is stopping. of course there would also be a loss of steering and brakes. in my mind this is a serious safety concern and it should be investigated. if gm is unwilling to fix the problem and nhtsa rules that they should not have to, at a minimum they should be required to notify owners of the the need to fix the issue and the safety reasons why. | |||

| I have purchased an 07 gmc envoy 9/2011. i have encountered multiple issues with the fuel gauge after i would fill up my tank, within minutes after leaving the gas station, fuel gauge would float from full to half of tank to empty. i did reach out to gmc and customer service advised they will only cover 50% of the repair, why not 100% of repair cost.. this should be taken care of my the gmc.ugh but what i don't understand how is that some consumers are able to get gmc to cover the complete repair. *tr | |||

| We bought this vehicle 2 months ago and it is a 2007 envoy. after doing research this vehicle has a history of the gas gauge going out of it. the dealership and gmc should be fixing this not the consumer. it is despicable that they do not consider this a safety recall. i should not have to pay half after only owning the car for 2 months. the dealership and gmc knew that this is an issue and refuses to pay for it. someone needs to do something about this!!! *tr | |||

| Tl- the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. after refueling the vehicle the contact noticed that the fuel gauge was providing an erroneous reading of empty . the fuel and check engine warning lights were also illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. the contact stated that later, the tire pressure warning light also illuminated although the tire pressure was accurate to specifications. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 28,000. kmj | |||

| Nearly 2 weeks ago i noticed the gas gauge acting up. i'd fill the tank, and within a mile or 2, the gauge will drop to e, and the light will come on, bell will sound. 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 afraid that i will run out of fuel while driving my kids to school or on the interstate. i have researched the problem a on the internet and have found a lot of people with the same problem. i firmly believe there should be a recall for this severe problem before someone really gets hurt. | |||
