NHTSA Complaint #10398582 — 2007 GMC ENVOY

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
