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 UNKNOWN LOCATIONS INCLUDING HIGH CRIME AREAS OF BALTIMORE CITY TO COMPLETE REAL ESTATE APPRAISALS. I HAVE ACTUALLY WITNESS DRUG DEALS TAKE PLACE LESS THAN 100 FEET FROM MY VEHICLE. IF I RUN OUT OF GAS IN ONE OF THESE UNDESIRABLE LOCATIONS DEATH IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, AT A MINIMUM THERE WOULD CERTAINLY BE ROBBERY AND ASSAULT. 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 VEHICLE FOR THIS VERY COMMON EXPENSIVE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

AFTER PURCHASING A SUPPOSED "CERTIFIED PRE OWNED" GMC 2007 ENVOY, THE GAS GAUGE HAS GONE BAD WHICH IS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO REMAIN ON LESS 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 SAFETY 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. *TR

REPEATED, INTERMITTENT FAILURES OF STABILITRAK SYSTEM IN 2007 GMC ENVOY DENALI WITH V-8 ENGINE. PROBLEM HAS EXISTING THROUGHOUT FIRST 37,000 MILES OF VEHICLE. DEALER (TULLEY GMC, NASHUA, NH) REPORTS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY CAUSE OR FIX.

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

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 42,000 MILES ON IT. MANY FORUMS LIST THIS AS A PROBLEM, SO IT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON DEFECT, YET GM WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SENDING UNIT IS DEFECTIVE AFTER 40,000 MILES. TANK READINGS INACCURATE. I LIVE IN AN URBAN AREA WHERE IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE OUT OF FUEL AND BROKEN DOWN ON SIDE OF ROAD. DEALER ADMITS THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON FOR GM ENVOY/RAINER/TRAILBLAZER - NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS LIST THIS AS A DEFECT - YET GM DOES NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. ITEM IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND GM WON'T COVER IT. *TR
