About one month ago, after I filled the gas tank in my 2007 gmc envoy, the gas meter would shift from f to e as I was driving and the light would come on. I would pull over to the side of the road, turn it off and back on. At that time, the meter would raise back up to the f but as I am driving again, it would drop back down and the empty indicator light would come on again. It has been doing this for a month now and I was even stuck on the side of the road once, njdot came to give me gas, thinking that was the problem, and the car still would not start. Had to get it towed to a gas station, where it then started and I was able to make it home. The car also hesitates (drags) when I'm trying to give it gas, as if it's going to cut off. I was told it was a clogged fuel line and will have it checked but this can cost me $600-800 that seems to be a problem with these trucks. I have read many stories from others who have the same vehicle.
2007 GMC Envoy fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 80 of 80, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. While driving at 55 MPH, the contact noticed that the fuel gauge no longer functioned. She had to fuel the vehicle every 250 miles because of the failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that because the vehicle was no longer under warranty, she would be responsible for all repair costs. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. The current mileage was approximately 60,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. After filling the fuel tank, the contact noticed fifteen minutes later that the fuel gauge was still on empty. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000. The current mileage was approximately 46,000.
Fuel gauge is inaccurate often reads empty when full. When fuel gauge gives false reading engine warning light comes on. Engine performance becomes erratic.
I have a 2007 gmc envoy slt with 49,000 miles, still owe $6000 and fuel gauge reads constant empty. I have been told that to change a fuel level sensor, that the gas tank would have to be dropped and sensor replaced @ $91.00 per hour plus parts. I feel this to be a safety issue because I travel to alot of unknown locations including high crime areas of baltimore city to complete real estate appraisals. I have actually witness drug deals take place less than 100 feet from my vehicle. If I run out of gas in one of these undesirable locations death is not out of the question, at a minimum there would certainly be robbery and assault. What I don't understand is why after several 100 reports of this same issue why gmc will not help with the expense of repairing this issue or recall the vehicle for this very common expensive issue. Please help!
After purchasing a supposed "certified pre owned" gmc 2007 envoy, the gas gauge has gone bad which is causing the check engine light to remain on less than 1 yr after purchase. This problem is causing an automatic failure in ny dmv vehicle yearly inspection. After taking this to a private mechanic and plugging in the obd,he informed me that this has become a major issue. The fuel sending unit has to be replaced. The cost of replacement is outrageous for a vehicle I have owned for less than 1 yr. This has caused me to run out of fuel several times due to not knowing how much fuel is left in the tank. Once was on a major interstate in ny. Please help myself as well as the many other people I have read about on the internet who are forced to make these costly repairs due to gm negligence just to be able to have the vehicle legally on the road. This is a safety issue that could kill someone on a major highway if they were unable to get to a shoulder or off the highway quickly and safely.
The fuel light (gas gauge) reads empty and the indicator light stays on constantly. The dealer says this is a common problem, but it not under recall by gmc, so the fix would be nearly $350.00. Gm is aware this is a common problem on the 2007 envoy.
Fuel sending unit failure. Vehicle has only 42,000 miles on it. Many forums list this as a problem, so it is obviously a common defect, yet gm will not address the problem.
Fuel sending unit is defective after 40,000 miles. Tank readings inaccurate. I live in an urban area where it is not safe to be out of fuel and broken down on side of road. Dealer admits this problem is common for gm envoy/rainer/trailblazer - numerous online forums list this as a defect - yet gm does nothing to rectify the problem. Item is out of warranty and gm won't cover it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The fuel gauges on the instrument control panel inaccurately displays the amount of fuel present in the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The technician stated this was a common failure for her model type. He then added that the failure was not covered under warranty, so she was ineligible for a free remedy. The current and failure mileages were 39,200. Updated 3/8/10 *cn the consumer also stated that the rear hatch was inoperative and when it rained the windows would get stuck. Updated 05/13/10.
