SMELLING OF GAS AND LEAKING ON GROUND, AS I'M READING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH IS VERY SERIOUS. I REALLY THINK GM NEEDS TO INCLUDE THIS 2003 GMC ENVOY AS PART OF THEIR RECALL AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS IT LOOKS LIKE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RECALLED. GUESS HUMAN LIFE IS NOT IMPORTANT.GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

IN 2010 AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK IN MY VERY WELL KEPT/SERVICED 2003 GMC ENVOY I BEGAN DRIVING HOME AND NOTICED THAT MY GAS GAUGE WASN'T WORKING. THE TANK WAS FULL BUT THE FUEL GAUGE READ BELOW THE EMPTY. AFTER TAPPING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, CHECKING FUSES, ETC NOTHING WORKED SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT GMC HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. EITHER THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OR THE SENSOR IS BAD AND MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST $500 - $600. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS QUITE THE PROBLEM AMONGST GMC VEHICLE OWNERS AND CONFIRMED THAT GMC WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT... NOW MY FUEL GAUGE READS DIFFERENTLY AT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED; BUT IT NEVER READS CORRECTLY.... THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND GMC SHOULD STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR INFERIOR PARTS.... *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND FIST OFF, MY SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY. THEN MY FUEL GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY TO FULL, THEN TO EMPTY. THEN IT WOULDN'T WORK AT ALL. THERE WAS PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK TOO, I TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THERMOSTAT, BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM AND HEARD THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005-2007, AND IT APPEARS I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS 2003 THAT THEY ARE HAVING NOW WITH THE NEWER ONES AND THE 2003 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. PLEASE EVALUATE. I ONLY HAVE 107K MILES ON THE TRUCK. I WAS TOLD, A RECALL COULD COVER UP TO 120K MILES, SO I STILL HAVE SOME WAY TO GO BEFORE I SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS STAYING ON TOO, ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO GET FIXED. NOW I AM HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

FUEL LEAK COMING FROM TOP OF GAS TANK. I SUSPECT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. SEVERE RUST AND LIMITED VISIBILITY PREVENTED ME FROM IDENTIFYING 100 PERCENT. TALKED TO GM, THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM BUT SINCE IT HAPPENED 14,000 MILES BEYOND THEIR EXTENDED SPECIAL WARRANTY FOR THIS, THEY WILL DO NOTHING. BAD DESIGN IS A BAD DESIGN REGARDLESS OF MILES OR YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS HAVING A LEAK THIS BAD. WILL FIX MYSELF WHEN I COME UP WITH THE MONEY. *TR

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A DISTINCT GAS ODOR BY THE VEHICLE. I HAD PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED A CAUTIONARY LETTER FROM GMC THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP INVOLVING POOLING AND PITTING AND EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO TEN YEARS TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. THE INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE WAS A "FUEL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AREA-FUEL PUMP MODULE LEAKING" THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS SUFFICIENTLY CONCERNED TO OFFER ME A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE REPAIR WAS MADE. HE SAID THAT IF I WERE TO HIT SOMETHING AND CREATE A SPARK I COULD BE IN JEOPARDY. I WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT A STRAY CIGARETTE BUTT THROWN OUT A WINDOW. HE ALSO GAVE ME THE CUSTOMER ASSURANCE TELEPHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO FILE A CLAIM. I DID CALL THE NEXT MORNING AND INFORMATION WAS GIVEN AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD THAT THE "DISTRICT " WOULD CALL ME. WHEN I RECEIVED THE CALL FROM THAT OFFICE SHE TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME THE FOLLOWING DAY. TEN MINUTES LATER SHE CALLED BACK AND SAID THAT GM WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW THERE WAS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SENT OUT WARNING LETTERS. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL CONSIDERING THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS INVOLVED. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE DID NOT READ THE LETTER AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD REPAIRS MADE AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE SO THEY NEVER REPORTED THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A COSTLY REPAIR AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE EXPENSE. I COUNT MYSELF LUCKY THAT IT IS NOT MY SERVIVING FAMILY FILING THIS COMPLAINT. *TT

VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. GAS FUMES WERE NOTICED COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC GAS TANK NEAR THE FILLER NECK. WAS TOLD THAT GM HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS BUT NO RECALLS OR REPAIR BULLETINS. THEREFORE, SINCE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1350.00 FOR REPAIRS. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE PLASTIC GAS TANKS AND REPLACING THEM AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE! NOTE: VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OR USED FOR OFF-ROAD DRIVING OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. GAS TANK SHOULD NOT HAVE CRACKED. ALSO, I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE SO IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER FAMILY. *TR

HELLO, I AM SECOND OWNER OF GMC ENVOY SLE 2003 CAR. COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE LIGHT CHECK ENGINE SOON STARTED APPEARS AND DISAPPEAR AFTER FILLING GAS AND SEVERAL TRIPS. JUNE THIS YEAR I WENT TO DEALER SERVICE FROM WHERE I BUY THE CAR THREE YEARS AGO .THEY FIXED SOME THING (HOUSING AND / OR GASKET, THERMOSTAT REPLACE AND FOR CAMPAIGN 07076: FUEL SENDER MODULE UPDATE T5714 FUEL SENDER ASSY REPLACEMENT AND ETC). AFTER 600 MILES THE LIGHT APPEARS AGAIN AND STAYS STEADY. I CALLED TO MY DEALER, BUT NOW THE DEALER IS OUT OF BUSINESS. I WENT TO OTHER SERVICE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAD ME THAT THE REASON FOR THE LIGHT ON IS THE CAR HAS GAS TANK LEAKING NEAR FUEL FILLER TUBE AREA MAY BE FROM CORROSION OR CRACK AND THAT'S MEAN NEAR $1500 FOR BRAND NEW TANK AND SERVICE AND COUPLE DAYS FOR DELIVERY THE TANK. BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTOOD VERY WELL THE EXPLANATIONS AND DIDN'T KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THIS LEAKING IS I LEFT VERY UPSET WITHOUT REPAIRED. I CALLED TO GMC TO ASK: IS IT NORMAL FOR 7-TH YEAR OLD CAR TO CHANGE THE GAS TANK. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. (AFTER OWN THE CAR, THREE YEAR AGO, I DIDN'T HIT IT.) FOLLOW DISCUSSION WITH TWO DEPARTMENTS AND AFTER ALL I UNDERSTOOD: THIS IS MY PROBLEM AND RESPONSIBILITY IS MINE. THAT IS IT. THANK YOU. *TR

2003 ENVOY SLT -135,000 MILES --SES LIGHT ON, LOCAL MECHANIC SAID SMALL EVAP CODE INDICATED INLET CHECKVALVE FRACTURE- THEY SAID GO TO GM DEALER FOR HELP WITH THIS,INFO PRINTOUT FROM LOCAL MECHANIC GIVEN TO ME- "ALL DATA MOTOR" SAID RECALL SPEC. COVERAGE FOR EXT. SIZE MODELS OF ENVOYS ETC. OFFERED BY GM FOR PERIOD OF 10 YRS OR 150,000 MILES.(ALSO 11/04 THEY DID WORK WARRANTY WORK ON CODE 440 AND REPLACED SEALS,TANK UNIT, I THINK THEY CAUSED THIS BECAUSE I WAS HAVING THE SES LIGHT ON&OFF YEARS AND JUST TOLD LOOSE GAS CAP- SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BUT NOW THIS! DEALER LOOKED AND SAID "NO" AFTER I WAS THERE FOR 5 HRS. SAID I COULD BUY A NEW GAS TANK @ $1200. I SAID I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY. TOLD I COULD CALL GM SO I DID. THOUGHT I WOULD GET "GOODWILL" HELP FOR SAME PROBLEM AS THEY PAID FOR THE EXTENDED MODELS. I TALKED TO TWO REPS .REP SAID MY VIN WAS LISTED IN THE COVERAGE RANGE OF #'S BUT NOT MY MODEL. BUT SHE PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY INFO IN ORDER TO GET ME SOME HELP..DEALER CALLED ME BACK 4 DAYS LATER IN A HURRY TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT APPARENTLY THEIR DISTRICT GM PERSON SAID TO DO. THE HOME OFFICE FOR THE GM SERVICE PERSON CALLED THEM WITH MY COMPLAINT. THEY STILL LOOKED AT IT AND SAW THE GAS LEAK AT THE ICV AND THEN STILL JUST TOLD ME "NO" THAT MY MODEL DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR HELP LIKE THE EXTENDED ENVOYS DID. I TOLD THEM IT APPEARED TO BE THE SAME ENGINEERING PROBLEM SO WHY WOULDN'T MY MODEL BE COVERED? MY SERVICE REP JUST SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A TANK. I SAID "NO". HE SAID JUST KEEP THE GAS TANK BELOW HALF FULL. SO THAT IS WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR THE PAST WEEK. I DON'T WANT TO TRIGGER THAT SES LIGHT BY FILLING UP THE TANK NEAR THAT HOSE INLET. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM FOR MY MODEL- IS THERE SOME BIG DIFFERENCE ON EXTENDED LENGTH? MAYBE ENOUGH SHORT ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS HAVEN'T SOUGHT HELP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF GASTANK AND ICV DIFFERENT ON THE SHORT AND LONG MODEL ENVOY?? *TR

FROM APRIL 2004 TO OCTOBER 2004 THE BATTERY FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO BE RE-CHARGED. DURING THAT SAME TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND EACH TIME IT HAPPENED, THE DEALER WOULD HAVE TO REPROGRAM THE ENGINE COMPUTER. THE RADIO WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHICH PRIMARILY CONSISTED OF STATIC. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER CONTROL KNOBS AS WELL AS THE RADIO KNOBS WORE OUT. THE FRONT CENTER CONSOLE WAS LOOSE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON BECAUSE THE THIRD STOP LIGHT THAT'S ON THE TOP OF THE LIFTGATE MALFUNCTIONED. THERE WAS A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE STOP LIGHT. THE COOLING FAN BROKE, THE BRAKES AND THE LEFT FRONT HEAD LAMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS, DIRECTIONAL AND SIGNAL LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LUG NUT BROKE WHILE A REPLACEMENT TIRE WAS BEING MOUNTED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT STABILIZER LINKAGE WAS REPLACED. THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FUEL LINES AND A SEAL ON THE TANK DUE TO A LEAK. THE SEAT BELT WAS DESIGNED POORLY AND THE BELT CUTS INTO THE CONSUMERS NECK. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DIDN'T CLOSE PROPERLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YEARS. *JB

A CRACKING HAS OCCURRED WHERE THE GASOLINE FILLER TUBE CONNECTS TO THE TANK. THAT CAUSED A VACUUM LEAK, WHICH CAUSED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. DEALERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED, AND CONFIRMED CRACKING AND ADVISED GASOLINE LEAKING COULD OCCUR AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING TANK. 1.VACUUM LEAK RENDERS GASOLINE TANK EMISSIONS SYSTEM INEFFICIENT. 2. IF GASOLINE LEAK OCCURS, IT IS THEN A FIRE HAZARD. THE DEALERSHIP COMMUNICATED TO US, HE HAS SEEN SIMILAR FAILURES IN THAT VEHICLE MODEL (GMC ENVOY). *NM

WHEN I FILL MY ENVOY WITH GAS, IT WILL NOT STOP WHEN IT IS FULL. THE GAS THEN SPILLS OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE SUV AND CAUSES ME TO CLEAN IT IMMEDIATELY AND SMELL LIKE GAS. I KNOW THAT IT IS THE SUV AND NOT THE PUMP BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH MY OTHER VEHICLE AT THE SAME PUMP. *JB

A PLASTIC GAS TANK THAT WAS INSTALLED NEW ON MY 2003 GMC ENVOY CRACKED AND IS RELEASING FUEL FUMES. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS MANEUVERED OFF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PREPARED TO BE TOWED THE TOWMAN NOTICED GAS LEAKING. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE LEAK AND DETERMINED THE TANK SHIFTED CAUSING THE GAS LINE TO CRACK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE GAS TANK WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE PUMPING FUEL INTO THE TANK, GASOLINE WAS NOTICED DRIPPING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A CRACK AT THE BASE OF THE FILLER PIPE AND THE TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THERE IS A FUELING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAPPENS REGULARLY ENOUGH (30% TO 40% OF THE TIME) TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD OR CAUSE SERIOUS PHYSICAL HAZARD TO THE OPERATOR. THE VEHICLE ON OCCASION WILL NOT ACCEPT GAS INTO THE FUEL TANK AND THEN WILL IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY AND THEN BACK UP AND SPLASH FUEL OUT ONTO THE OPERATOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE. IT MAY TAKE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE TANK WILL ACCEPT THE FUEL, ALL THE WHILE SPLASHING FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER ON EACH ATTEMPT. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE TANK, AS IT APPROACHES FULL, WILL JUST SPLASH GAS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY INDICATION WITHOUT CUTTING OFF THE GAS PUMP FILL HOSE AS IT NORMALLY WOULD. THIS CONDITION CAN BE A SERIOUS PHYSICAL AND HEALTH HAZARD TO THE OPERATOR SINCE GAS GETS ON THE SKIN AND THE CLOTHS OF THE OPERATOR, CAUSING A BURNING SENSATION AND SUBJECTING THE OPERATOR TO OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS. THE FUEL SPILL CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND FIRE HAZARD. A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS HAVE BEEN TRIED WITH THE SAME RESULTS DURING FUELING. THIS WOULD RULE OUT A PROBLEM WITH ONE PUMP OR FILLING STATION CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS EVEN OCCURRED IN DIFFERENT CITIES. *JB

ALSO EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK, GAS COMES BACK UP AND SPILLS OUT, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I LEAVE THE NOZZLE IN, TAKE IT OUT IMMEDIATELY, AND I AM NEVER TOPPING THE TANK OFF. WHEN I HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. *LA

WHILE TRAVELING CONSUMER SMELLED A FUEL ODOR INSIDE VEHICLE. CONSUMER PULLED VEHICLE OVER, AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM UNDER VEHICLE . DEALERSHIP SERVICED VEHICLE, AND NOTICED FUEL LINE WAS DISCONNECTED.*AK

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, OFTEN TIMES THE PUMP WILL NOT STOP AND THE PUMP WILL RUN ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS LONGER THAN IT SHOULD, CAUSING GAS TO SPILL. DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS (BUT SAW ON THE WEBSITE ANOTHER USER EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING). *JB

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN THE VEHICLE IT SPILLS OVER.*AK

MY 2003 GMC ENVOY HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE TANK HAS A SMALL CRACK IN THE VAPOR RECOVERY LINE. DEALER AND GMC CLAIMS THAT IT IS NOT A HAZZARD BUT THERE IS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE ODER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED OR STOPED AND IT CONTINUES FOR SOME TIME UNTIL THE ENGINE IS WARM. DEALER CLAIMS THE TANK IS BEING REDESIGNED GMC WILL NOT CONFIRM OR DENY. WHAT I KNOW IS THE PART HAS AN EXPECTED BUT NOT DEFINET 4 TO 6 WEEK DELIVERY TIME.

I BOUGHT A 2003 ENVOY XL 11 DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. WE WENT INTO A RESTAURANT, CAME BACK OUT AFTER EATING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS 150 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT AND HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR, GET A RENTAL (WHICH WAS PAID FOR), AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD NEVER HAD HAPPEN BEFORE. I TOLD THE DEALER I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT CAR, BUT WAS TOLD THIS WAS A UNHEARD OF PROBLEM.
