FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
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! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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 NHTSA 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. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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. *TR

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
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. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS THE FOURTH OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AFTER EACH FAILURE AND THE DEALER FIRST DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL AND THE THIRD RECURRENCE OF THE FAILURE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS REPLACED. EACH OF THE REMEDIES ADMINISTERED FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO FILED A REPORT AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HIM AT A LATER DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS SO HAPPY TO READ ONLINE THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION 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.. *TR

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. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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. *TR

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?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I LEFT THE SHOP AND DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM MYSELF. AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THE BULBS AND DISCOVERING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ELSEWHERE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED UNDER THE DASH, THEY DETERMINED THAT EVERY TIME I HIT BRAKES, THE WIRES WERE BEING STRIPPED AND CAUSED A SHORT.
