One evening I was driving on the main highway and my inside lights came on. I pulled to the side of the road to check the switch but it was on auto. I turned it off but the lights stayed on. They were still on when I got home and parked turned off the ignition the lights were still on. The next morning my car couldn't start because it had ran my battery down. Another incident was my headlights went off one night while I was drive on the highway. I am also having problems with my gas gauge. My gas light comes on like I am out of gas. The last time I fill my car up with gas it hesitated. It didn't want to start. The light stays on when my car is full of gas. I smell gas. I sat at the gas station for an our because my car didn't want to start. The sound of my radio goes in and out. My lights continue to go on and off when driving or when not driving. One morning I got up to go to work, went to start my car and the headlights were on but the switch was off. I couldn't get the lights to go off when I got to work. They stayed on at least for 4 hrs. Sometime the lights doesn't come on when I put them on. I really have some weird things go on with my vehicle. I did get the module changed and they did some re-wiring in the door. One year before the module, I got them to check my car for a short and I was told from them that my wires were over heated. I paid about $900 to fix it. I strongly think it is a detect some wheres or something that would cause my wires to over heat.

Stop engine/low oil pressure display continually comes on and while driving, the vehicle hesitates and at times will stall. After replacing PCM, oil sending unit, throttle body assembly, cleaning the pcv valve and map sensor and multiple other parts, I was told that the dealership did not know what it was and stated that they could replace the cam shaft actuator (for a cost of approx. $885), but they could not guarantee that would resolve the problem. I have taken my vehicle back to the same dealership from 02/14/2011 until 11/07/12 and still unable to fix the problem. I've filed a complaint with gmc manufacturer, but still have not been able to resolve my issues.

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.
