Vehicle has a inlet fuel leak, a known issue on the gmc envoy xl 4x4, but has put a 150,000 mile cap on the recall which I find negligent as the issue still exist regardless of mileage, just seems like a way to worm out of responsibility.

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 dad was driving his 2003 gmc envoy xl home from work and he felt a small explosion and saw black smoke out of his rear view mirror. So he pulled over, got out, and there were flames underneath the car. Within 5-10 minutes the car exploded. A fire fighter and state trooper pulled over to help him, and they both said the fire looked like it started from a fuel leak because the flames were "dripping" under the car. After researching recalls and complaints, I am infuriated that there were so many complaints filed over this problem, and even an investigation was done, but it was not considered serious enough to be a recall. I can't even think about what would have happened if he had waited to pull over at the next exit or the first explosion had been bigger. Apparently, this is a problem with almost all years of this model since 2002. I hope nothing like this, or something worse, happens to anyone else. *tr ..

I own an envoy xl and notice a gas smell everytime I fill up it last about a week or, until im low on gas so I did some searching on the internet and notice a lot of envoys have the same problem the weld around the fuel tank neck has come completely off so fuel is leaking and is a fire hazard. Can anyone tell me why this is not a recall if so many SUV's having the same problem.

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.

Noticed that the fuel gauge for the past week has been acting very strange. I had a half tank of gas and drive very little daily (maybe 10 miles) and in 3 days it went from 1/2 tank to empty. I actually thought my gas was leaking out, but no gas spots or leaks. Now, it was on empty, light came on, and started to bing, and the engine light is on also. I filled the car up and fuel light is still on and so is the engine light. Indicating a problem at the fuel gage. I love this car, I have never loved a car more...but, now reading all the huge number of people having the same problems...and the cost to have it fixed is wayyyyyyyyy more than I can pay or afford. I have been trying to figure out how I am going to pay the first half of my re taxes and my home owners insurance, I used to work for years with auto dealers and with this amount of complaints, the manufacture normally does a recall and fixes this problem. My concern is, if I keep driving it without getting it fixed will I create more problems and the bigger problem is how do I know when I am on empty since it is now always on empty??????

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 gmc envoy xl. While parked, the contact noticed a strong gasoline fuel smell. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing where the mechanic advised the contact that the fuel tank was corroded and fuel was leaking. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
