2007 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAGE WAS PROVIDING INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000. UPDATED 09/20/2011 *LN

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

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 DON'T 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! *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IN 2007 GMC ENVOY DOESN'T 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........ *TR

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

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

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 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.

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 HAVEN'T DONE ANY CORRECTIVE MEASURES YET. *TR

2007 GMC ENVOY BRAKES CONTINUE TO STAY ON AFTER BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SLOW TO A HALT AND OR TIRES LOCK IN PLACE ON THEIR OWN. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ONCE WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND OTHER ON A CROWDED STREET. *TR
