2007 GMC ENVOY Complaints

I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES WHEN THE SECURITY LIGHT ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. THIS IS THE LIGHT INDICATING THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM HAD INITIATED. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP SO THAT I COULD NOT TURN IT AT ALL, AND THE CAR BEGAN DECELERATING QUICKLY ON ITS OWN. *TT

AT 38,000 MILES ON THE MY SUV MY GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, AND RAN OUT OF GAS TWO TIMES. I'VE HAD TO KEEP AN EYE ON HOW MANY MILES I DRIVE AND FILL IT UP EVERY 250-300 MILES. ALSO I'VE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES MY BRAKE PEDAL STALLS FOR A QUICK SECOND. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PROBLEM IT HAS IN ITS EARLY YEARS AND TO FIND OUT THE THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND GM WONT ISSUE A RECALL ON THERE VEHICLES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU STILL HAVE IN THE TANK. *KB

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

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

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 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

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

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

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
