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.

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.

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?

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 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 the federal safety agency (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 the federal safety agency 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.

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.

Cpsc#i1290600a. 2007 gmc envoy. Consumer stated the fuel gauge has been sporadically working. *ln the consumer stated after she filled the tank, it would go empty, then back to full. On one occasion, as she was driving on the freeway, the vehicle started to slow down. The gas gauge read full, but apparently, the vehicle was out of gas.

We bought this vehicle 2 months ago and it is a 2007 envoy. After doing research this vehicle has a history of the gas gauge going out of it. The dealership and gmc should be fixing this not the consumer. It is despicable that they do not consider this a safety recall. I should not have to pay half after only owning the car for 2 months. The dealership and gmc knew that this is an issue and refuses to pay for it. Someone needs to do something about this!!!
