Fuel tank light comes on and off constantly, gauge bounces back and forth. Occurs daily, several times per day. Changed gas cap, did not matter. Hazard and very difficult to judge amount of fuel. Should be a recall! 2007 gmc envoy with 28,000 miles.
2007 GMC Envoy fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 80, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gmc seems to have a problem with their fuel system, I contacted them when my gas guage started acting erractily, was told to take it to dealer and pay 100.00 for diagnosis, I said the problem is all over the internet, she said she wasnt aware. There are too many people having this problem for them to be saying they dont know it. My husband has cancer and he cannot take a chance driving this vehicle because of this problem, the only time you know it has gas in it is when you fill it up! Please help us get this resolved, I have a gmc jimmy parked in the driveway that has the exact same problem!
Faulty fuel gauge. Will go to full then back to empty and stay at empty just after filling tank. Sometimes will go back over to full. Problem also causing obd to turn on check engine light. I have run out of fuel and have had vehicle come to stop in traffic. No warning of low fuel because of bad sensor. As per gm tech I spoke to, every gmc SUV has the same problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the fuel gage was providing inaccurate fuel level readings. The manufacturer was contacted but provided no assistance. The dealer was not notified of the failure and the vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 37,000 and the current mileage was 48,000. Updated 09/20/2011
Fuel gauge reading is erratic and provides false information. As of 6/1/2011, the gauge bounces back and forth while driving between fuel low and full. Being told entire sending unit requires replacement and parts/labor cost is $750.
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!
The fuel gauge in 2007 gmc envoy doesn't read properly....even with a full tank the gauge says empty. Im 8 mths pregnant and this is a safety issue. I depend on having a gas gauge that works and if as many people are having the same issue, gmc needs to step up to the plate and fix this........
Fuel gauge registers empty even after filling tank.
2007 gmc envoy fuel gauge not registering correct amount. Swings erratically from full to empty regardless of amount of fuel in tank. This is apparently a common issue with these vehicles based on internet message boards with fuel sensor failure most commonly cited problem. There is a risk of running out of fuel without warning and creating a hazardous driving situation. Have seen on msn that the federal safety agency is investigating so am adding my complaint to the pile and asking that gm be required to recall these vehicles to correct this defect. I have not paid for sensor replacement at this time.
Gas gauge no longer accurately senses fuel level.
The fuel gauge frequently stops working or gives incorrect readings while driving. Initially this only occurred when the fuel tank was above 3/4 full but has since started happening regardless of fuel level in the tank. The gauge no longer provides accurate fuel level readings at any level. Due to the fact that my vehicle is no longer covered by the manufacturers warranty I have not pursued a repair. The repair is very expensive based on the many complaints I've found on the internet regarding this problem.
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.
The fuel gage stays on empty with the low fuel indicator light illuminated once you fill the vehicle to full and then the check engine light comes on, after several hours the fuel gage will move to the full mark and the check engine light may or may not go out. Leaving you unsure with the amount of fuel you have in vehicle. This occurs even after shutting the vehicle off and on.
When I start my car every morning the fuel gauge starts out correctly and then when I start to travel the gauge drops to empty. After I travel approximately 15 min the gauge will start to climb to about the approx correct fuel amount then it drops down again. I can usually get a good reading after I fill the tank but when I turn the engine off it starts all over again. This has been going on for two weeks now. The consequences are that I am not sure what my fuel level is unless I completely fill the tank. I haven't done any corrective measures yet.
I have a 2007 gmc envoy that the gas gauge shows that there is more gas than actually is. I have ran out of gas a couple of times.
-fuel gauge was acting funny, would go from full to empty and not read the correct fuel level. - dealer stated that the gauge had gone bad and it was replaced under extended warranty, cost was covered less deductible.
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..
Gasoline gauge is not displaying accurate amount of gasoline.
Fuel gauge started not working properly. Initially it would show half full when filling up, then the gauge stopped working completely causing me to be stranded on the interstate. The cost involved to fix it at the dealership was too high so I have chosen to calculate my mileage when I fill up.
The fuel gauge would have different readings while driving. Gm replaced the fuel level gauge at a cost of $400.
Fuel gauge reads incorrectly and shows incorrect amount of fuel intermittently. Very distracting and unsafe when you are not sure how much fuel you actually have. This has been a problem for some time, and the dealer has indicated it can't make a repair because general motors doesn't consider this a safety issue. This problem began in october, 2010 and continues because of the cost to make repairs. The dealer indicates a parts cost of $500 plus labor.
Fule gage shows empty. Same also occured on my 2006 envoy. Gm will not repair either envoy unless I pay approx $600. I would like to see a recall and the parts used to last. Safty is also a concern as check light goes on and off and you have to estimate fule used. I see on line that this is a problem for gm. Has gm improved this fuel sender?
The fuel gage does not register the correct amount of fuel
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact noticed that the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate reading and she was unable to determine how much gasoline was in the vehicle. The failure began three weeks ago. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that there were no related recalls. The manufacturer was contacted and agreed to pay for the parts but not the labor. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileages were 42,000. The failure mileages were 41,600.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the fuel gauge continued to increase and decrease displaying an inaccurate reading. When gasoline was added to its capacity the fuel gauge displayed that it was empty. The dealer stated the fuel sending unit on the vehicle failed and needed to be replaced. The contact feels that was a safety defect by the manufacturer because the vehicle has so few miles. The failure mileage was 29,000 and the current mileage was 31,000.
The gas gauge on my 2007 envoy has been acting very erratic lately. Each time I fill my gas tank, the gauge remains at empty for maybe a day or so. Eventually it goes from empty to full and back to empty several more times. Sooner or later it will remain in the full position and seems to act normally. I have also noticed my service engine light coming on for a day or two and finally goes out. That seems to happen after I fill my gas tank. Nobody at the dealership seems to be aware of any problems with the fuel gauge in the envoy. But after reading a few of the complaints to this website, I realize there is a problem that general motors does not want to address.
2007 gmc envoy gas gauge quit working so I don't know when or how much gas I have in the car. Then other day I ran out of gas luckily I was close to home.
Gmc envoy fuel gauge goes to empty at approximately a half-full tank. It happens every time it falls to a half tank. I have to reset the odometer, so I know when I am truly getting near empty. This started around the beginning of august. I've called gm & they want me to pay $100 to diagnose the problem when googling the problem there are many envoys & trailblazer posts with the same issue. I have an appointment for diagnosis.
Hello, did gmc will do something with the fuel sensor? I have gmc envoy 2007, and fuel sensor stopped working properly. I contacted the dealer and the representative sad that fuel sensor replacements work will cost you $600. It is not fare. I found that a lot of people have the same problem, and gmc did not responded to that problem at all. One investigation already opens for this fuel sensor problem recently for trailblazer. I was driving on I-95 and my car started to send message 'fuel level is low' and fuel gage show 'empty tank', but I have a full tank of gas! I made an emergency stop on I-95, which creates a back up traffic and not safety driving conditions for other drivers. Right now I driving with that problem and let me tell you, it is 'nightmare'. 'fuel level low' signal disturbing operation of the car, you have to press controls button on steering wheel and always check 'how many miles you drove already', but if mileage counter will be working or you forget to 'reset', you can stop immediately on highway and create badly accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated the fuel gauge sensor failed. The gauge would display the fuel at low levels whenever she would refuel the vehicle. The dealer advised the vehicle would be repaired but at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was not contacted and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,143.
