Special coverage adjustment fuel tank inlet check valve fracture #07099a. Issued august 24, 2007. My 2004 gmc envoy is now experiencing this problem. I was never notified of this as gm claims they did not know I was the owner of this car. I bought it used in 2005. I was told by a mechanic when I took it in to check out the problem that I should not fill the gas tank full as it could cause gas leakage. I am also facing an expensive bill to get this fixed. A recall was never issued and it appears this is a life safety issue. I would appreciate your attention in this matter.

The fuel tank neck where the fuel goes into the vehicle, then down to the gas tank, has in the plastic & leaks fuel & gas vapors so the check engine light is always on. My mechanic said there is no way to fix this without purchasing a new fuel tank since this is all one piece.

My envoy has had the check engine light on for years, and the smell of gas, went to gmc and they said need new gas cap, didn,t work, went to another car repair need new gas cap, same thing over and over again, every month on my onstar report, said I had emission problems, they tested the car, looks like it could be you need a new gas cap..... A few months ago my gmc would not start, call aaa to pick up envoy and take in the charles shop near my home.... As the auto was being put on the trailer, I saw gas dripping from the area of the gas tank....went to charles repair to them about what I saw and explained that for you I have been trying to find out what was wrong with the gas cap, and the smell of gas... Well the checked it out and found my gas tank had a crack in it and I would need a new gas tank cost around $900.00, I paid them for the starting problem that they fixed and took the gmc home, I live in florida and I was reading the sunday paper and there is an article, about gmc recalls, about how the warm weather states having a problem with a plastic part might crack and cause a fuel leak..well this is what happened to my gmc, how do I get my car repaired by gmc, what can I do to get it fixed, I only put $20 to $30 of gas at a time ,in the car because I don't want gas leaking and might cause a fire. Help me please.

2004 gmc envoy leaking gasoline. I was told my car was leaking gasoline. I contacted gmc corp. Office to request assistance for the repair and was denied, reason given local service provider said consumer caused crack in gas tank. Also asked for assistance at least a percentage off from local dealership also denied. I called the local service repair while on hold with gmc and was told they did not tell gmc that I caused the damage. The local service repairman said they can not determine how the damage was caused. He would not advocate nor deny a faulty part by gmc. We just want our vehicle fixed. My family and I cannot afford to pay $1300. For this repair. This car has so many problems that we cannot keep up with them financially. Currently the air conditioner does not blow, it has worked in several years. The passenger window chooses when it wants to roll down, the cd player just stopped playing after the two years. Often when I put gas inside the car I have to roll the windows down because the fumes are so strong in the backseat where my children sit. We have to put gas inside the car every two days. This car is dangerous to me and my family. I read on the federal safety agency website a investigation was conducted and was closed due to gmc willingness to assist the consumer. I mentioned this to the gmc representative and her supervisor that I was aware a investigation was conducted. They indicated they are not aware of a investigation and to their knowledge I am the first gmc consumer to report such a problem. On behalf of my family I am requesting your assistance in this matter. I cringe everytime I have to drive my children in this car. We cannot afford the repair and we cannot afford another vehicle. Please help us in this matter. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

2004 gmc envoy xuv dies when in drive and stopped for stop light, stop sign, etc. When the gas is applied, the car dies and I tie up traffic while having to shift to park, restart the engine, and then shift to drive and proceed through the intersection. It never dies while driving, only at a stop. I have had this car to the dealer numerous times and, because there is no "code" , they don't know what to do to fix it. The car also has a gas tank that is cracked at the neck and causes the check engine light to be on all the time. The dealership assures me that this is not a safety concern nor does the gas tank crack have anything to do with the engine dying. There is no gas leak but air does get into the tank causing the light to stay on. The throttle body has been cleaned and the entire emission system has also been checked and no one can figure out what the problem is. Dealership also says that the gas tank problem is quite common but that there is no recall..................why not?????? The main computer module was replaced and this has been happening since then.
