I bought the car used feb. 2011 about march 2011 sometimes when it is started (no specific start time) the check engine light will be on (not always) and the car will die while driving approximately 25 to 35 miles per hour. This is not a all the time problem, and I cannot find a reason why some days it does this and some days it doesn't. Also sometimes the cruise control works and sometimes it doesn't. . Also sometimes the wipers stop in mid swipe.

I own a 2003 gmc envoy xlt service engine light is on returned the vehicle to the dealer and was told this is a cracked fuel tank. Dealer showed me where the fuel was leaking it was leaking on a weld that attaches the filler hose to the fuel tank. This certainly isn't a wearable part and it doesn't receive much corrosion due to being a florida car. There are many forums on the internet and many vehicle owners that have the same problem. I would think that a fuel leak may lead to extremely hazardous situation for all motor vehicle owners. I understand an investigation has been raised and closed. It is unfair that gm manufactures a fuel tank that could be a risk to its consumers. This case needs to be revisited and reopened.
