What 2007 GMC Envoy owners say

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. [redacted]
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.

On Saturday 4/2/16 our area eastpointe (detroit) mi a snow storm was in the area. As I entered my vehicle snow fell on the drivers side window door module. I bushed off the snow and proceed to drive my vehicle. After about 5 minutes while on I-94 at 70 MPH all four power windows started to go up and down. After two or three times of this action all four windows stayed in the down position. At that time I noticed sparks and smoke coming from the switch positions on the module. I pulled over to side of the expressway and since this module is just a snap in, I removed it and disconnected the cables. Since the passenger side window was conveniently down and module was still smoking and emitting sparks I tossed it out the window into the snow. After about five minutes I retrieved the module and drove the secondary roads back home. Part number on the module label is 25811557. …
