My 2007 GMC Envoy gas gauge started reading inaccurately one day as I was filling the gas tank...it went up as it was filling to about 3/4 of a tank and then went straight down to E and the tank was completely full. It "bounced around over the next 2-3 weeks and finally quit working all together. The low fuel indicator is always on as it registers E all the time now. I have ran out of gas a few times. I am a nurse who is on call and cannot be left stranded. My husband had a brain injury and I am now the sole provider in the home and I cannot afford the part and labor....I am very disappointed...needs to be recalled!!!!!!!
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
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........
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.
