2007 GMC ENVOY Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND DECREASE DISPLAYING AN INACCURATE READING. WHEN GASOLINE WAS ADDED TO ITS CAPACITY THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT IT WAS EMPTY. THE DEALER STATED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE VEHICLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT WAS A SAFETY DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS SO FEW MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

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. *TR

2007 GMC ENVOY. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ON SATURDAY 1/8/11, COLD SNOWY DAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN STEAM STARTED TO COME OUT OF VENTS, ALL WINDOWS FOGGED UP COULD NOT SEE AND STRONG SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE. HAD NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. A GOOD THING MY WIFE WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT SHE TOOK OFF HER COAT AND KEPT THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR TILL I COULD EXIT THE HIGHWAY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE HEATER CORE WAS LEAKING. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT IF WE DID NOT ACT QUICKLY. *TR

THE HIDDEN WELDMENT HOLDING THE REAR LIFTGATE STRUT BROKE CAUSING THE STRUT TO BECOME DISLODGED AND ALLOWING THE GATE TO VIOLENTLY FALL ON MY BACK, SHOULDERS AND HEAD. WHILE PAINFUL FOR ME THIS COULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC IMPACT ON A CHILD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T REPAIR THIS AND SUGGEST I TALK TO A BODY SHOP. *TR

WEATHER IS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND I PARKED MY 2007 ENVOY DENALI IN MY DRIVE. I DON'T HAVE A GARAGE SO IT SITS OUT IN THE EXTREME HEAT ADD COLD. I THOUGHT I HEARD A NOISE OUTSIDE AND WHEN I LOOKED OUT MY REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. NOTHING HIT IT, NOBODY WAS DOWN OUR ISOLATED LANE, IT JUST DECIDED TO FAIL. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS MENTIONING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE VEHICLES OVER MY 54 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A REAR WINDOW EXPLODING ON IT'S OWN. TO CUT TO THE CHASE MY VEHICLE WAS 9 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I DID GET SOME MONEY FROM THE GM REP AND THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT WAS $850 AND I WAS ASKED TO CHIP IN $200. I THINK THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN TIRES OR BRAKES WEARING OUT WITH TIME AND I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD COMPLETELY COVER THE WINDOW FAILURE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN ANOTHER FEW YEARS I COULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR SITS OUT IN THE ELEMENTS. IT WAS A MESS BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK OF THE INCONVENIENCE AND PROBLEMS I COULD HAVE HAD IF IT FAILED WHILE TRAVELING OR ON VACATION. THE SECURITY OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPROMISED WITH THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY GONE AND NO ALARM WHEN THE BREAK OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY I WAS HOME AND COULD KEEP OUT THE ELEMENTS BEFORE I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. I FEEL MY DEALER DID WHAT THEY COULD, BUT I THINK IN THIS CASE GM SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE. *TR

2007 GMC ENVOY GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN OR HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN THE CAR. THEN OTHER DAY I RAN OUT OF GAS LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME. *TR

GMC ENVOY FUEL GAUGE 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. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR FAILED. THE GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY THE FUEL AT LOW LEVELS WHENEVER SHE WOULD REFUEL THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED BUT AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,143.

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 HESITATES (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. *TR
