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.
2007 GMC Envoy fuel system complaints

Filled gas tank and fuel gauge still reads empty.
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!!!
Check engine light appeared after filling gas tank and fuel gauge was inoperative. Subsequent low fuel warning. Code indicates fuel sensor issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. After refueling the vehicle the contact noticed that the fuel gauge was providing an erroneous reading of empty . The fuel and check engine warning lights were also illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The contact stated that later, the tire pressure warning light also illuminated although the tire pressure was accurate to specifications. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
Nearly 2 weeks ago I noticed the gas gauge acting up. I'd fill the tank, and within a mile or 2, the gauge will drop to e, and the light will come on, bell will sound. This happens constantly, the gauge is showing 1/2 full, then empty, then 1/4 full. At any given time, I have no way of knowing how much fuel is in my tank. I am afraid that I will run out of fuel while driving my kids to school or on the interstate. I have researched the problem a on the internet and have found a lot of people with the same problem. I firmly believe there should be a recall for this severe problem before someone really gets hurt.
Nearly 2 months ago I noticed the gas gauge in my vehicle going haywire. I will fill the tank, and within a mile or 2, the gauge will drop to e, and the light will come on, bell will sound, etc. It may or may not adjust while driving. This happens constantly, the gauge is showing 1/2 full, then empty, then 1/4 full. At any given time, I have no way of knowing how much fuel is in my tank. I am deathly afraid that I will run out while driving with my children on the interstate. I have researched the problem a little on the internet, and found many, many others with this problem. I firmly believe this should be a recall issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the fuel gauge would read inaccurately, causing the fuel sensor to activate. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and made an attempt to cover a portion of the repair costs. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 57,000.
The vehicle's fuel gauge went to full while driving down the road. It started moving all over the place and now goes to empty upon fill up at the gas station. The more you drive the more fuel it reads. The gauge floats all over the place and vehicle has now ran out of gas twice while driving down the road. Gm was contacted and explained it is a known issue and at first offered no help. Upon talking to several 'managers' they agreed to cover 50% because they know there is a problem. The cost is still over $250 for the repair. Why does the owner have to cover the cost of a known problem part? Why is gm not responsible for this?
The fuel guage does not work properly. The tank can be full of gas, but the gauge will show that the tank is empty.
The fuel indicator gauges from full to empty within seconds even though the tank has been filled completely. The gage remains on empty with the 'low fuel' indicator warning light on for the length of the trip.
Fuel gauge reads empty but tank full. Fuel tank says there is gas but ran out of gas...tank empty.
Car showed half tank of gas but cut off and wouldn't start. After being told it may be gas I put gas in car and it started. I filled my gas tank up 2 days later then cranked up and the car still showed empty with gas light on.
Fuel gage has been going off and on all year. Now is sits on empty a lot. The bell goes off to remind me it is empty often, when that is not the case. I have to use my odometer to know when to get gas. Very frustrated with gmc on this. Said sensor would cost in excess of $500 to repair. That is absolutely ridiculous. Then I get this letter indicating that gmc is aware of the problem with the fuel gage in envoys; and they still want me to pay $250 for half of their problem. Sounds a little one sided to me. Most companies offer to correct their mistakes at their own expense, and certainly not at the expense of the customer. Seems to me that good business practices would be the way to go. Surely to goodness the president of gmc would have the common sense to know that too many unsatisfied customers could potentially result in a significant drop of sales. .
I filled my gas tank up, but when I start my vehicle it reads empty with the low fuel light on. The check engine light has also illuminated as well.
Went to fill my gas tank on my 2007 gmc envoy and topped it off. Went I went into the car the fuel gauge was going up and down and then went to empty and the low fuel message and service engine light came on. I took it in and was told 871.00 to repair which I didn't have. When I took it in for my inspection this year, my mechanic told me he has replaced so many of these already. I received a letter today by gmc that they will pay for half if I take it to a gmc dealer. I don't think this is fair. They can put parts in that will fail then make us come to their dealerships to pay upwards of 100.00 an hour to repair.
The vehicle shows a service engine light. The gas gauge fluxuates from no fuel to full tank randomly. During a single visit the vehicle shows a low fuel light and then the gauge goes up to full and back. This has been happening for 2 months. The service center can not reproduce the problem because the tank is full at dealership. They want to do unrelated service to justify their time. I have paid for the extended warranty.
Stopped for fuel and turned off the motor. Filled tank until the pump automatically shut off. Replaced filler cap and tightened to spec. When I turned on the key, the gauges went through normal diagnostics. When I started the envoy, the fuel gauge immediately went to empy, the low fuel light turned on, and a warning chime rang. While driving, the gauge would fluctuate, but never gave an accurate reading. Eventually, the check engine light also lit after about twenty miles. The next day, the fuel gauge appeared to work normally. However, since the first incident, this has happened with each subsequent fill-up.
In early august 2011, the fuel gauge began reading erratically for no apparent reason. In early september 2011, the problem caused me to run out of gas while driving. Fortunately, it did not pose a danger, but it could lead to being rear-ended--potentially a very dangerous situation! So far, we haven't fixed the problem but will closely monitor the trip odometer for now.
Fuel gauge is erratic. This appears to be a very common problem. Dealer said the fuel level sensor is defective. I have 58,000 miles on my 07 envoy denali. Safety is a concern now that I do not know how much gas I really have.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to display an accurate fuel level reading after dispensing fuel into the fuel tank. The failure progressed over a period of time and eventually the fuel gauge became inoperable. The dealer and manufacturer were notified and stated that the failure was related to the fuel tank senor. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000. ..updated 10/19/11 *bf updated 10/24/11
Erratic fuel gauge behavior 2007 gmc envoy. Gauge works correctly from 1/2 tank to full tank only - immediately drops to empty after going below 1/2 tank. Shows correct level when first being started up - then immediately sinks to empty upon driving.
My 2007 gmc envoy gas gauge started reading inaccurately 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!!!!!!!
Faulty gas gauge on my 2007 gmc envoy. Does not show right amount of gas in tank. I have ran out of gas 3 times in the past 2 months. I've tried to keep track of gas by mileage, but that gets tricky.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the fuel gauge did not read properly. The fuel gauge would display readings of half full or empty even when the fuel tank was full. When the fuel tank was empty, the fuel gauge would display a reading of half full or full. The contact made an appointment to have the vehicle inspected. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 50,000.
I have a 2007 gmc envoy and the fuel sending unit is malfunctioning. Yesterday I had to walk to a gas station because I ran out of gas even though the gas gauge still read a quarter tank. I am not the only one having this problem after doing a search on the internet.
I have a full tank of gas, but gauge shows empty, and never goes above 1/8 of a tank. "low fuel" warning light on constantly.
I have a 2007 gmc envoy and the gas gauge does not work. Initally, when I would fill up the tank it would work for at least a 100 miles; over time it has gotten to the point that the gauge never works and is always on empty. I have to monitor my mileage meter to know when I need to get gas.
