My vehicle has developed a leak in the plastic fuel tank at the junction of the fill hose connection and the body of the tank that is causing release of flammable vapors and liquid gasoline underneath the vehicle and causing failure of emissions systems. These vehicles have a rampant and long-standing reputation for developing leaks in their plastic fuel tanks at this location which cannot be repaired by any normal means available to a consumer. Virtually all of these vehicles eventually develop leaks, which cause release of flammable fuel vapors and raw gasolene releases. Why isn't there a recall on these faulty fuel tanks? The manufacturer only provided a short-term solution for a limited period of time that is no longer available for vehicles that still have the leaking tanks. The condition is dangerous.

SMELL GAS IN AND OUT SIDE OF VEHICLE. FUEL LEAKING FROM THE GAS TANK DUE TO RUSTED LINES.

WHILE IN MOTION ONLY, A ENGINE LIGHT ACCOMPANIED BY A REDUCED ENGINE POWER ENGAGES MAKING THE VEHICLE UNMANAGEABLE TO RESPONSE AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY ENVOY AND THE WIPERS WORKED MOST OF THE WAY HOME, THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING . THEN THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT GO DOWN WHEN SHUT OFF. NOW WHEN I TURN THEM ON THEY HOP UP AND GO RIGHT BACK DOWN AND DO NOT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPAIRED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED NOT TO FILL THE TANK ABOVE HALF. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, IT LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000. UPDATED 04/21/2016*LJ *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM CAMBER ON THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES WERE WORN DOWN ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION CAUSING THE TIRES TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED WHERE IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED.

GM SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM, 14423 TOLD REPAIR PART NOT AVAILABLE TILL MAY 2016 & IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE. GM'S SOLUTION TO PROBLEM SO THAT VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN TILL MAY IS TO NOT FILL FUEL TANK ABOVE ONE HALF. REFUSED DUE TO VEHICLE HAZARD & PERSONAL SAFETY. VEHICLE REMAINS AT GMC DEALERSHIP.

WHILE DRIVING THE ENVOY AT ABOUT 45 MPH, A WARNING LIGHT SAYING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" CAME ON SUDDENLY, THE CAR DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH, AND THAT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. I CAN TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNS WITHIN A MINUTE AFTER DRIVING IT AGAIN. I STARTED INVESTIGATING WHAT THAT MEANS ONLINE, AND, AS WITH ANYTHING ELSE ON THE INTERNET, I SEE MANY OPINIONS, GUESSES, AND POSSIBILITIES. COULD BE A BAD SENSOR, BAD THROTTLE CONTROL, BAD WIRE CONNECTIONS, ETC. BUT THIS MUCH APPEARS CLEAR: (1) IT IS A GM PROBLEM, AND A VERY, VERY COMMON ONE. (2) IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS PRETTY OBVIOUS - THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED AND EVIDENTLY SOMETIMES STALLS OUT ALTOGETHER. BUT HEARING ABOUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE'S SCARY EXPERIENCES JUST CONFIRMS THIS. (3) IT CAN BE DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. WHEN I THINK OF THESE FACTS, COUPLED WITH GM'S RECENT HISTORY, I IMMEDIATELY THINK "RECALL." THIS CERTAINLY APPEARS TO BE AN APPROPRIATE SITUATION FOR A MANUFACTURER TO STEP IN AND FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET ANGRY WITH GM, GET HURT, OR GET KILLED. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO SOLD THE CAR (I AM THE SECOND OWNER), IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS FOR $110. (GEE, THANKS - WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT.) THE CUSTOMER REP LOOKED UP THE VIN AND SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL OR ANY SPECIAL POLICY. THEREFORE, I AM CONTACTING YOU IN HOPE THAT SOMETHING ELSE CAN BE DONE.

HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THEY TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE NEXT YEAR IT HAPPENED, THEY STAYED OFF UNTIL PULLING OVER, TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS ON THE INTERNET, AND SEEMS TO BE RESTRICTED TO THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND GMC ENVOY. THE REPORTED FIX IS TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM RELAY.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER DRASTICALLY WHEN GOING UP ANY INCLINE. WAS GOING 65 AND SPEED DROPPED TO 35 GOING UP SLIGHT GRADE HILL.

WHEN USING THE WIPERS, THEY WILL WIPE OK FOR A COUPLE OF SWIPES AND THEN GET STUCK AND SHIMMY DOWN THE WINDSHIELD. SOMETIMES THEY JUST STICK IN PLACE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED WE GO OR IF WE ARE STOPPED.

HAVE ISSUES WITH 4WD. VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO ENGAGE IN 4WD HI OR LOW. TRIED IN PARK & NEUTRAL WHILE PARKED AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMP FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE CONTACT INDEPENDENTLY REPLACED THE HARNESS CONNECTOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE MY RESIDENCE. PERFORMED A WALK AROUND INSPECTION AND FOUND NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF FUEL LEAKAGE. OPENED THE HOOD AND HAD NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. ENVOY IS HARD TO START BUT ONCE STARTED CONTINUES TO RUN WITH NO ISSUES. GASOLINE FUMES ARE EVIDENT IN THE CAB WHILE PARKED BUT DISPERSE WHEN MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. UPON STOPPING IN TRAFFIC, FUMES IMMEDIATELY BECOME VERY STRONG IN THE CAB. RESEARCHING ON LINE SIMILAR SITUATIONS, IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. CHECKED UNDER THE ENVOY AND NOTICED SOME MINOR STREAKING ON THE TANK. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME FUEL PUMP EROSION ISSUE, THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR IS BETWEEN $650 AND $900. MA 10/6 THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER REMOVING THE GAS TANK, HE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THE METAL LINES BROKE OFF AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AS HE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE CLIPS HOLDING THE LINES ON TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AND THE ASSOCIATED METAL LINE WERE RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR. IT APPEARED THE METAL LINES AS PART OF THE FUEL PUMP WERE SPRAYING FUEL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE PUMP WAS RUNNING. THE DESIGN OF THE TOP OF THE TANK WITH THE FUEL PUMP PROVIDED A BOWL ON THE TOP OF THE TANK WHERE THE FUEL PUMP WAS LOCATED ALLOWING SALT WATER TO POOL ON TOP OF THE TANK DURING THE WINTER DRIVING SEASON. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AND THE TAN
