2007 GMC Envoy Fuel System Problems

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING GIVING ME ERRONEOUS HIGH AND LOW READINGS. I NOTICED IN AUGUST 2011, GM ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY ENVOY IS 11-1/2 YEARS OLD, BUT ONLY HAS APPROX. 87,500 MILES ON IT. SEEING THIS IS AN OBVIOUSLY SAFETY ISSUE WHICH HAS LED TO AT LEAST 1 KNOWN ACCIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYWAY THAT YOU CAN HELP ME GET GM TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE TO MY ENVOY? MY ENVOY ALSO RECENTLY HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE INITIATED FOR THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM). I WAS ABLE TO GET THAT FIXED BECAUSE GM ISSUED THE COVERAGE FOR A TOTAL OF 12 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. SO THE PRECEDENT HAS BEEN SET TO PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR A VEHICLE MY AGE. ANY HELP THAT YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

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. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE. NOT A SAFE SITUATION. GMC KNOWS AND HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL

ENGINE LIGHT WON:T GO OFF & GAS TANK GAUGE DOES NOT WORK./

MY FUEL GAGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2007 GMC ENVOY. IT READ THAT I HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT, SO HEADED TO THE GAS STATION ON A CITY STREET. I TURNED THE ENVOY OFF, FOR ABOUT A 15 MINUTE STOP, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE GAGE SAID IT WAS EMPTY. I FILLED THE TANK, AND IT STILL SAID IT WAS EMPTY, AND THE LIGHT IS ON. ABOUT 25 MILES LATER, THE GAGE POPPED UP TO 1/4 TANK , BUT QUICKLY DROPPED BACK DOWN TO READ AS EMPTY AGAIN. THE LIGHT STAYS ON NOW. ALL OTHER GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD WORK PROPERLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON, AND IS STILL ON. I MADE SURE MY GAS CAP WAS ON PROPERLY, AND IT WAS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 12-30-15, SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES . MY 2007 ENVOY HAD 61,061 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS OCCURRED, ON 3-4-16.

WIRING TO FUEL PUMP BURNT...2007 GMC ENVOY DENALI WHEN DEAD ON HIGHWAY. ..UPDATED 01/07/16 *BF WHITE BEAR LAKE SUPERSTORE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A NEW ALTERNATOR, IGNITION SWITCH, AND REPLACING THE BATTERY. *TR

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. *TR

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 NHTSA 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? *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE FUEL FUMES WERE EMITTED FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE VEHICLE STALLED. I HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK COME AND GIVE ME GAS TO GET ME STARTED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NOW I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON BECAUSE OF THE STALLING CAUSE GUNK TO GET IN CERTAIN ENGINE PARTS. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR THAT THE DRIVER HAS TO PAY FOR 50%. GMC SHOULD PAY FOR 100%. PERIOD. *TR

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. *TR

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!!! *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AFTER FILLING GAS TANK AND FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERATIVE. SUBSEQUENT LOW FUEL WARNING. CODE INDICATES FUEL SENSOR ISSUE. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THAT THEY HAD A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR ON MY VEHICLE, WOULD PAY HALF TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WITHIN TWO WEEKS MY FUEL SENSOR GAUGE IS FLOATING FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR EMISSION COMES ON WHEN THE FLOAT STARTS. WHY MUST I PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECT ON THE VEHICLE IF ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINT ARE ANYTHING TO GO BY?! *KB

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 NHTSA (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 NHTSA 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. *TR
