Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 56, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel is leaking out the top of tank somewhere. Can't see exactly whee while running. Doesn't run out when vehicle if not running.
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.
Vehicle loses power drastically when going up any incline. Was going 65 and speed dropped to 35 going up slight grade hill.
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 tank was re-installed. Updated 03/01/16.
I could smell gas and my son a mechanic looked at it and said it is leaking on the two lines that come out the top of the fuel pump.
It like it not geting any gas when I hit the gas in boggs down let off ots fine PCM im guess.
I started smelling gas several weeks ago. Now I can see some gas on my driveway near where the fuel tank is located. I'm afraid of a fire.
Everything started april last year and its one thing after another since. First my engine started stalling, while driving. One incident, I lost half a tank of gas within a 15 minute ride, which I have a 17 gallon tank. Then while driving on an expressway, it suddenly dropped from 70 to 20 before I could get over two lanes to get out of the way of traffic. Ive cleaned the throttle body, ive cleaned the camshaft actuator, ive replaced the air filter, fuel filter, and the oil twice within a 8 month period, and yet it still continues to stall. Now I recently change the water pump to see if that would help, even though my car was not over heating, now its stalling even worse; I cant even make it through a drive through without having to start it twice. Second and even scarrier issue, I hit pot hole one day and before I could make 15 miles, I heard grinding. A cv joint had to be replaced, then two days after that the other cv joint broke off and broke my front axle disconnect assembly. Did I hit anybody? No thank god I was in the right hand lane and could get over without hitting anyone or causing injury to myself. Ive replaced both cv joints and the assembly now and even did the struts while I was at it, but have also been told I need control arms now. And still my car is stalling, grinding when I turn and I cant get the check engine light to clear long enough to get it inspected. My drivers side windshield works when it wants to and now the car is starting to vibrate unbelievably. Ive kept my oil changed, ive kept my filters changed, ive never taken this thing off road and have had it over 7 years and just in the last year I have dumped more money in this car than I have since ive owned it.
At fuel station, with a quarter tank of fuel in vehicle, the new gas overflowed out of the tank for no apparent reason, running down side of vehicle onto ground. Not able to fill tank.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 gmc envoy. The contact was driving approximately 10 MPH when fuel began to spray out of the fuel tank and onto the ground. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the fuel pump module retainer would need to be replaced. There was a recall associated with the failure under the federal safety agency campaign id number 02v121000 (fuel system, gasoline: delivery: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The contact's VIN was included in the recall however, the contact was advised that the recall was expired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was unavailable.
It began with a gas smell for several weeks with no wet areas or drips. Now their appears to be a leak from the gas tank or filler tube and it has become more severe.
In february of 2012 I began to notice a very large odor of gasoline coming from the rear of the vehicle. I have owned this car since september of 2009 and this has just become and issue. Looked up vehicle recalls and came across this. Summary: on certain sport utility vehicles, a fuel filter fitting can become disconnected. If this were to occur while attempting to start the engine, a no-start condition would result and fuel would be pumped out the fuel filter onto the ground. Consequence: if the fitting becomes disconnected while the vehicle is in motion, the engine would stop due to inadequate fuel supply and cause a loss of power steering assist. If an ignition source were present, fuel leakage from a disconnected fuel filter fitting could result in a fire. Actions: dealers will replace the fuel filter quick connect retainers. Owner notification began september 20, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1‑800‑222‑1020. Gmc at 1‑800‑462‑8782, or oldsmobile at 1‑800‑442‑6537. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official the federal safety agency page concerning recall #02v121000 gm said my car was not eligable for repair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled due to the fuel level gauge displaying inaccurate fuel levels. The fuel level gauge displayed that the fuel tank was full when in fact, the tank was empty. The failure recurred three to four times and the vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where the contact was informed that the fuel gauge would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 105,000 and the failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
2002 gmc envoy - continue to experience fuel smell condition. Had vehicle serviced in 2009 for this issue. Dealer repaired per recall, never notified of this issue, a fuel filler neck issue that allowed vapors to escape. Problem has resurfaced and it is suspect that issue is fuel tank related. Issue is difficult to identify without sizable expense. Not sure now is issue is repeat of repaired condition or fuel tank problem. This is a serious issue with warning about fuel vapors and concern about fire and explosions in around gas stations yet this know condition is allowed to exist on these gm vehicles without a safety recall.
Fuel lines fuel pump corrosion on 2002 gmc envoys.. The vehicle is leaking an enormous amount of fuel while in motion. Gmc has not honored this extended coverage because of a branded title. This is extremely dangerous.
Envoy has gas smell on interior and engine warning light goes on and off. Common problem for all 02-03 models short or lang bed. Requesting a recall for a potentially dangerous situation.
Strong smell of gas before and after starting engine.
I started to smell a "gas like" smell in my garage and when parked outside. I took vehicle to local repair shop and was told that I had to replace the fuel pump because it was all rusted and it was causing a fuel leak.
Gas tank has crack and fumes leak.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 gmc envoy. The contact stated that she could smell gasoline in her vehicle; however, when the passenger inspected the vehicle there was no evidence of fuel. She took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that the fuel tank and sensor needed to be replaced as there was corrosion on the fuel tank assembly.

She called the manufacturer and was told that they could not assist her. The vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage was 128,214. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 gmc envoy. The contact smelled fuel and noticed gasoline leaking from the fuel tank. The failure caused the fuel tank to corrode and rust. The dealer stated that they will not cover the repair. The contact was advised to call gm, but they also would not cover the repair. The repair would cost $600. The failure mileage was 142,000.
The fuel pump module on the vehicle began leaking. This leak ultimately lead to gasoline pouring all over the road. One quarter of a tank of fuel spilled from the tank in approximately one quarter mile. There easily could have been a fire. I ended up walking home.
2002 gmc envoy fuel leak, specifically the fuel module.
Gas tank leak at filler neck tube caused fuel leak. No fire or damage occurred. Repaired required replacement of the entire fuel tank. It is noteworthy, that the replacement tank is reinforced at the filler neck tube.
We have a 2002 gmc envoy with approx 77,000 miles, the truck has strong scent of fuel in the garage and out doors. I understand that the fuel pump module corrodes and is common problem on these vehicles. I believe that gm should cover this under recall could have serious fire. I believe it is an engineering defect.
Gas smell both in and out of vehicle. Within a couple of days gas would leak after car was driven. Fuel pump leaked due to rusted pipe on fuel pump to fuel line. It is the only exposed steel fitting and sits on top of the gas tank where water and moisture can collect, which is then conducive to rusting.
I have a 2002 gmc slt, which is leaking gas. I have had my vehicle towed to my mechanic, which is in process of getting a part from the chevrolet dealer to fix the leak.
2002 gmc envoy began to emit overwhelming odors. The interior of the car and exterior of the car smells strongly of leaking fuel. The vehicle must be parked in my driveway to prevent vapors from accumulating in my garage and seeping into my home. The leaking odors into the garage and house have caused me to have severe headaches. The captured vapors in my garage presented a severe fire hazard. I took my vehicle to a local mechanic who reported to me that the fuel pump assembly on top of the fuel tank was leaking due to corrosion on several of the tubes that transport fuel. He stated this is avery common problem on the gmc envoys and that he has repaired many of them for the same problem.
