Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. While driving various speeds, the service stabilitrak warning indicator periodically illuminated. Also, the stabilitrak active indicator periodically illuminated, which caused the vehicle to stall. When the contact released and re-applied the accelerator pedal, the stabilitrak deactivated and the vehicle functioned normally. Occasionally, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal vibrated violently and the vehicle hesitated to stop. When the vehicle was stationary and the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle accelerated forward. Furthermore, the driver's seat was unable to move forward. When attempting to adjust the seat manually or with the power position adjuster, the seat failed to adjust until after a period of time. The vehicle was taken to bowser buick gmc (1001 clairton blvd, pleasant hills, pa 15236, (412) 346-7929) where the contact was informed that the driver's door module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 90,000.

I was stopped at a traffic light , I was listening to my radio . The light changed I put my foot on the gas pedal and truck didn't move.. It was then I realized the it stalled. I put in neutral and started it back up. And continued to work. After this initial time it was happening two to three a day , atleast three times a week for months.. I took it back to dealer 15 times . I have a paper trail for this. They told me they could not find anything wrong with it. I have had my vehicle for going three years and have only put 11,000 miles becauseii am afraid to drive it any long distance . I don't want to break down and be stuck alone. I have already put a complaint into gm about this and they have done nothing . It is total bull. All I want is my car fix so I can enjoy it. I am paying for a car that just sits 80% if the time. Look st on star if you don't believe me. Please help me get my car fix right.

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 the federal safety agency 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?

I was at a stop light and when I pressed on the gas the vehicle stalled. I had to have a tow truck come and give me gas to get me started. This is ridiculous. Now I have a check engine light on because of the stalling cause gunk to get in certain engine parts. I am extremely upset and do not think it is fair that the driver has to pay for 50%. Gmc should pay for 100%. Period.

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 don't 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 gage fails intermittently, can not tell how much fuel you have left. I try not to let it go much below half full for fear of running out of gas and stalling in trafic.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact was driving approximately 55 MPH when the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the failure was the fourth occurrence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer after each failure and the dealer first diagnosed that the computer system was defective and would need to be replaced. The second time, the dealer replaced the ignition coil and the third recurrence of the failure, the accelerator pedal was replaced. Each of the remedies administered failed to repair the problem. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer who was not able to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was contacted who filed a report and stated that they would contact him at a later date. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 79,000 and the current mileage was 82,000.

I was so happy to read online that the federal safety agency is finally checking into the problem with the fuel gauges on 2007 gmc envoys. I started to have a problem just before my envoy was 3 years old and about to go out of warranty. The first time that I had a problem it stalled when I stopped at a light after exiting I-95. The next day it stalled when I was coming off of I-95. I took it to the dealer and they said that the throttle mechanism needed to be cleaned. Had the service done and it still was stalling. Took it back to the dealer and they kept it for 3 days and said that because they could not find a code there was nothing they could do and it would be too costly for them to investigate further. The car continues to stall out just when my gas tank is getting low (1/4 of a tank or less). It seems to be okay when it is running at a high speed but when I slow down on an exit or come to a stop it stalls. Sometimes the engine will rev and then catch and sometimes it will stall out. Sometimes it just quietly quits --- nothing shows up on the dash - no lights or gauges show anything. I have noticed that my miles remaining is usually much lower after it stalls than before. I have filed a complaint with gm and I was made to feel like I was a fool. They insisted that there was nothing wrong and that they had no complaints. The dealer also treated me the same way. I have considered getting rid of the car but I basically like it and work around the problem by not letting the gas tank go below 1/4. I hope that your organization will be able to do something to help. It really is a very dangerous situation and could certainly result in a rear end collision. Plus I paid a lot of money and have a right to expect that when there is something wrong with a gmc product gmc would know how to fix it..
