The fuel inlet seal on the top of the fuel tank had separated causing a smell of fuel and allowing matter to enter the fuel tank from the top...possibly causing the premature failing of the fuel pump. We understand gmc has extended the warranty on the vehicle for this issue to 150,000 miles. Our vehicle had over 155,000 miles when the problem occured but we never received notification from gmc of the extended warranty. Had we received this notification we would have taken in the vehicle for an immediate repair. The fuel pump failed and we had to purchase a new fuel tank (as a result of the faulty top seal) and fuel pump...costing us almost $1,700. We have a copy of the repair bill but I am unable to scan and upload it here at this time... I am in the military and will be moving to korea in april, 2016

What owners say
Fuel pump outlet tube was found corroded through after informing the local gmc dealer of gasoline odors when getting out of vehicle. This vehicle was purchased new in brandon, florida and has always remained in florida.
Fuel pump outlet tube corroded through causing a release of fuel under pressure, which sprayed over the top of the gas tank and ran down both sides of the tank, I feel this could have easily caused a fire with any type of ignition source. This premature failure (5 years) cost over $1,000.00.
