After filling my vehicles gas tank, the gauge shows empty, an the lo e fuel level warning light is engaged. Initially, this only happened when the fuel level was above half of a tank, then the level would show correctly from one half of a tank and lower. Eventually, it never showed correctly and always as empty with low fuel warning.

Fuel gauge reads empty even when tank is full. First noticed issue several months ago, after filling the tank. The gauge would begin reading correctly after driving for a while. Ran out of fuel in Feb. Due to inaccurate reading. Currently gauge has been reading empty for 4 weeks, even after several trips to the gas station.
Upon filling gas tank to full, fuel gauge indicated empty and low fuel light illuminated. This indication now comes and goes and is erratic and unreliable. Note: I received a letter ( not a recall ) from gm last year saying if my vehicle experienced this problem to notify my dealer for service. Appears to me, gm knew it was just a matter of time before I experienced this problem. I have read numerous compaints by gm Envoy owners since then with the same problem. My local gm dealer says that gm will fix the problem and pay only half the cost. This well known problem is of epidemic proportion. Why has this not been upgraded to a recall.
The fuel gauge on my vehicle started to go up and down and then the yellow empty light came on all of a sudden while driving. Even after filling up the gas tank, the fuel gauge does not read correctly. I'm now at the point I have to keep track of my gas usage by using my trip meter and tracking the miles that I drive. I'm afraid to take my vehicle on long trips, not knowing when I may run out of gas.
After receiving recall for fuel pump and sender,gas gauge started acting up. When filling, gauge would read empty with light on or would go all around pass full. Wife had to use trip meter to estimate how much fuel was in tank. Took to dealer and they said level sensor failed and replaced same at no cost. Picked car up and was driving about week, when wife said gauge not working again. Checked and found when car was started gauge went to half, turned car off gauge stayed at half and when started again went to 3/4 full. Did this several times and gauge went pass full. Called dealer to ask if gm had come up with something for their cars to make fuel so I would not have to pay $5. 00 per gal. They said no, so took car back to have checked again. This time was told it was cluster which was bad. So had replaced at a cost of $486. 10 and guess what not part of recall. So had to payout of pocket. I told them they need to stop putting so many chinese parts into so called made in America cars because they cannot talk to each other. Just crossing fingers it will get me to midwest and back before something else goes bad. Need the good old days back when you didn't need a computer to trouble shoot a computer in your car. Oh by the way, you cannot expect the politicians to call for gm to pay for these repairs, because it might lower their stocks from inside trading, when they found out they were bailing gm out from bankruptcy.
Check engine light appeared after filling gas tank and fuel gauge was inoperative. Subsequent low fuel warning. Code indicates fuel sensor issue.

Fuel gauge registers empty after filling tank. Light & sound sensors indicate low fuel level. Fuel must drain slowly into tank or gas pump shuts off. Electrical dash indicators do not work for a time after fueling so cannot set the trip indicator to gauge the mileage to a tank of gas. Fuel on occasion does not shut off at the gas pump when tank is full.
Gas gauge malfunctions after filling vehicle due to repeated, documented manufacturers defect in gas tank fuel sensor, possibily leading to a complete failure of indication system.
My 2007 GMC Envoy gas gauge started reading innacurately one day as I was filling the gas tank. . . It went up as it was filling to about 3/4 of a tank and then went straight down to e and the tank was completely full. It "bounced around over the next 2-3 weeks and finally quit working all together. The low fuel indicator is always on as it registers e all the time now. I have ran out of gas a few times. I am a nurse who is on call and cannot be left stranded. My husband had a brain injury and I am now the sole provider in the home and I cannot afford the part and labor. . . . I am very disappointed. . . Needs to be recalled!!!!!!!.
Vehicle fuel gage shows empty after filling fuel tank. After driving 30-50 miles, fuel gage appears normal. This started about 30 days ago. More recently, however, fuel gage is inconsistent even after the 30+ miles. Some times it shows full, one half. I must refuel vehicle more often to be sure there is fuel in the tank.
Two months ago after filling up my 2006 Envoy xl with gas, a previously normally functioing fuel gauge suddenly read empty and the audible warning kept sounding though I knew it had a full tank. The gauge would start to go up, but then when I would turn the vehicle off, it would read empty again. As I was driving, the gauge would fluctuate between empty and full no matter how much fuel was in the tank. A trip to the dealer showed that I had a fautly fuel sensor. They said that if I drove it around like that the vehicle could suddenly stall. I had to have the fuel sensor replaced at my own expense as it is out of warranty.
In 2010 after filling my gas tank in my very well kept/serviced 2003 GMC Envoy I began driving home and noticed that my gas gauge wasn't working. The tank was full but the fuel gauge read below the empty. After tapping on the instrument panel, restarting the vehicle, checking fuses, etc nothing worked so I took it to the shop and was advised that GMC has known about this problem for quite some time and won't do anything about it. Either the fuel sending unit or the sensor is bad and must be replaced at a cost $500 - $600. After doing some research I see that this is quite the problem amongst GMC vehicle owners and confirmed that GMC will do nothing about it. . . Now my fuel gauge reads differently at every time the vehicle is started; but it never reads correctly. . . . This should be investigated and GMC should step up and take responsibility for their inferior parts. . . .
One day I filled up my gas gage and it read empty when I drove away. It has read empty ever since with the exception of moving slightly above e for a few min shortly after filling tank. This happened in Feb 07 and I just have not had the money to drop on a gas gage so I calculate my miles which is extremely inconvenient and I have run out of gas on several occasions.
It's seems crazy to me that this agency that was created to protect consumers from faulty vehicles can let so many complaints against this manufacturer that was bailed out by taxpayers money can be so blind to the gross negligence on GMC part. I have spent count less hours and way too much money on this vehicle, only to find out that many other consumers are reporting the same problems. I have literally sat down and cried vowing never to by another american made car because they are pieces of junk (and that is putting it nicely). I have paid to replace the oxygen sensor and all that goes with that; the catalyst converter twice; the electrical system throughout the vehicle and now my radio doesn't work because there is a short that is draining the battery when the car is turned off; the speed control (mph/rpm) doesn't work and I only pray that I'm not speeding while I'm driving; the rear wiper blade works when it feels like it; my car interior constantly smells like gasoline and when I'm filling up my tank it there is always spillage; my ses light constantly stays on and since my state practices emission control I hold my breath and pray that I pass the test so I can legally drive my car. These are just some of the problems that I face with this car and frankly this year I'm not working so coming up with the money to pay again to have a mechanic remove the ses light so I can go have the emission testing performed is ridiculous and draining a wallet that is very much empty. My car now has more mileage & I haven't heard my radio in over 2 years because they don't know what is wrong so they just disconnected it. Why haven't the NHTSA/dot required GMC to fix what they know is broken and a hazard on the roads? I would strongly recommend that the NHTSA take this seriously before someone loses control and people lives are lost. Don't let this become another Toyota issue.
