Fuel gauge doesn't work. Have run out of gas twice. Not a safe situation. GMC knows and hasn't issued a recall.
Inaccurate fuel gauge caused the 2007 GMC Envoy to unexpectedly run out of gasoline and stall as the vehicle was turning at an intersection. The engine shut off and the power steering failed to operate as other vehicles were approaching the intersection. I was not able to get the vehicle completely off of the road before it stopped. This could have caused a serious crash. Gm needs to be held accountable for correcting this serious safety related defect. Why has there been a recall covering certain vehicles under NHTSA campaign number 14v223000 but not in the case of this 2007 GMC Envoy when the end result of the defect can also cause this vehicle to run out of fuel and increase the risk of a crash?.
