At fill up gas gauge goes to full and stays there for around 20 miles, then drops to empty and stays there. This is an ongoing problem for several weeks now. Apparently this is a known issue, with the vehicle.

What 2007 GMC Envoy owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When vehicle is stationary, or in motion, the fuel gauge gives inaccurate gas reading. Fuel gauge modulates from empty to full continuously. Empty light comes on when gas is in car when driving. Check engine light comes on when empty light comes on. It is impossible to drive this car with a peace of mind given this problem. Please note that this exact problem with 2007 envoy is all over the internet.
Engine light won:t go off & gas tank gauge does not work./
My fuel gage suddenly stopped working on my 2007 gmc envoy. It read that I had 1/4 tank left, so headed to the gas station on a city street. I turned the envoy off, for about a 15 minute stop, and when I turned it back on, the gage said it was empty. I filled the tank, and it still said it was empty, and the light is on. About 25 miles later, the gage popped up to 1/4 tank , but quickly dropped back down to read as empty again. The light stays on now. All other gauges on the dashboard work properly. The check engine light also came on, and is still on. I made sure my gas cap was on properly, and it was. I just purchased this vehicle on 12-30-15, so I do not know if there were any previous issues . My 2007 envoy had 61,061 miles on it when this occurred, on 3-4-16.
Vehicles fuel gauge will constantly read anywhere from e to full, especially after fill up. Never know exactly what amount of fuel is in vehicle. Have to keep trip meter cleared at each fill up to make an accurate guess at how many miles I have left in the tank. Sometimes the check engine light will also come on at same time as the gauge fluctuates constantly.
February of 2014, gas gauge started to go haywire. After approximately 100 miles, needle of gas gauge goes to empty and low gas indicator light comes on. November of 2013, passenger air bag indicator light stays on. Does not matter if seat is empty or occupied. July 2011, right/front window regulator cable broke-replacement cost me $340.00. At this time shop found that front differential case leaking. This was replaced at no charge. Have not owned a gm product in over 15 years, now I know why. Come on gm stand behind your products, no matter what year they were manufactured. You claim that your vehicles are on the road for years and years, really...kind of hard to drive and trust a vehicle that does not function properly.
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?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that gasoline fuel fumes were emitted from inside of the vehicle. The failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.
General motors issued a special coverage adjustment-fuel level sensor contact wear notice # 10054e to cover 100% of replacing a malfunctioning fuel gauge. My fuel gauge malfunctioned as outlined in the notice and I had my fuel gauge repaired at my own expense. When I learned of the special coverage, I completed the general motors product field acton customer reimbursement request form and sent the required copies of receipts that showed all required information to hendrick gmc via fax on 9/13 and hand delivered the same information on 10/4. I have never received my refund for the repair I paid for out of pocket. I have called and e-mailed the general manager of hendrick gmc; I have called and tried to speak to him. I called the 800 number provided in the notification to file a complaint. I have left messages for a team leader at the customer assistance center and he has not returned my calls nor are they sending me the promised refund. I believe that this special coverage adjustment is just a way for gmc to not to have to issue a recall, and they are picking and choosing who they are refunding. Gmc should not be allowed to use such a dishonest ploy to avoid paying to repair a defect.
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.
