Nine problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2007 GMC Envoy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine light won:t go off & gas tank gauge does not work. /.
Filled gas tank and fuel gauge still reads empty.
I have purchased an 07 GMC Envoy 9/2011. I have encountered multiple issues with the fuel gauge after I would fill up my tank, within minutes after leaving the gas station, fuel gauge would float from full to half of tank to empty. I did reach out to GMC and customer service advised they will only cover 50% of the repair, why not 100% of repair cost. . This should be taken care of my the GMC. Ugh but what I don't understand how is that some consumers are able to get GMC to cover the complete repair.
Nearly 2 weeks ago I noticed the gas gauge acting up. I'd fill the tank, and within a mile or 2, the gauge will drop to e, and the light will come on, bell will sound. This happens constantly, the gauge is showing 1/2 full, then empty, then 1/4 full. At any given time, I have no way of knowing how much fuel is in my tank. I am afraid that I will run out of fuel while driving my kids to school or on the interstate. I have researched the problem a on the internet and have found a lot of people with the same problem. I firmly believe there should be a recall for this severe problem before someone really gets hurt.
I have a 2007 GMC Envoy. The fuel gauge reads normal after a fill up and then soon drops to empty. It does not give an accurate reading of fuel in the tank and the low fuel light is usually on. The check engine light is also on. It seems that this is the most common complaint among Envoy owners with NHTSA (note there are 5 other name plates under which this vehicle was sold). I have called GMC and they claim no knowledge of the problem. They offered to help me contact a dealer, but were unable to reach one. I called the selling dealer on my own. The service adviser seemed to know what I was talking about but was non-committal. The defect started after the warranty period expired due to time, but not mileage. Finally I have always considered this an annoyance but I recently changed my opinion on that. My wife, who drives my kids around, pointed out that if she runs too long without topping off or if unknown to her, her fuel mileage declines she very well could run out of gas and be hit by a vehicle behind her. There would be no warning to her or to the vehicles behind her ie no brake lights to warn that she is stopping. Of course there would also be a loss of steering and brakes. In my mind this is a serious safety concern and it should be investigated. If gm is unwilling to fix the problem and NHTSA rules that they should not have to, at a minimum they should be required to notify owners of the need to fix the issue and the safety reasons why.
The fuel gauge in 2007 GMC Envoy doesnt 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. . . . . . . .
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.
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 dont 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!.
Fuel sensor failed on vehicle less than 2 years old but past warranty. Symptoms were fuel gauge failed to work or worked incorrectly and engine light would come on intermittently. I was unable to determine how much gas was in tank. Had to pay $630 for parts and labor to replace fuel sensor since I am 5k miles over the 36k warranty.
