What owners say
Service engine light illuminates and fuel levels are not properly indicated. The car shakes and cuts off when idling. Service engine light and low fuel illuminate continuously. Took car in twice to [xxx] black kennesaw but they could not find anything wrong. I informed them on both service visits that I received a letter from gmc but they said my car was out of warranty. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Fuel gauge erratic, will read full then slowly drop to empty while driving. Eventually the empty light will illuminate and the low fuel bell will sound.
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 complaints 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 low fuel level light has come on, and the tank was filled within 25 miles. Researching, I find this is a current issue with my vehicle. The fuel gauge shows empty almost all the time, and the check engine light has come on. The fuel gauge does not show correctly at all.
Gas gauge does not register correctly. First started when filled up with gas and would never show full tank, only 3 quarters at most. Now it does not register at all. Always on e and low fuel light always on. Very annoying. Noticed this is a very common problem with gmc envoy, trailblazer, etc. How many signatures does it take for a recall?
Fuel gauge totally stopped working.
Sending unit inside of gas tank: when full of gas, gauge says below empty & gas light comes on. When 7/8 full to almost empty gas gauge reads correct, when empty gas gauge reads 2nd to last line, car runs out of gas & no gas light comes on. When you are driving at 50 MPH and run out you could crash. When car is parked for 4+min. Gauge goes below empty & fuel light comes on.
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.
Malfunctioning gas gauge 2007 gmc envoy car only has 20,000 miles. Has to be a defect. Contacted dealership. Sold car as is no warranty!
