Bulletin no.:14423 date: november 2015 part number: 15077622 tank, fuel (18.7 gal.) the icv is located above the full fuel level. A fractured icv could allow fuel vapors to pass through and droplets of fuel to accumulate on the side of the fuel tank as it passes over the fracture during refueling. If the icv fractures, the vehicle's service engine soon (ses) light may illuminate, and you may notice a fuel odor and/or a few drops of fuel on the ground when refueling the vehicle. This has happen to me and now my tank needs to be replaced. This is a known issue with gmc envoy regardless of year or how long they are in service. The company needs to be held accountable for poor quality of parts especially when it is a safety concern and hazard with fuel odor coming into the cab of the vehicle and spilling out when going up a hill. Being told to only fill my gas tank up half to three quarters full due to that part being broken is the wrong answer. In motion when I smell gas and then notice it when I fill the vehicle up and it started pouring out.

Was inspecting car and had several complaints to dealership that front end had a strange noise when we go over a rough road. While trying to figure out where fuel smell is coming from I noticed a crack on the weld next to the shock mount . I also noticed that there has been a previous repair there because we have had this car since it was new all I can think is that they saw this and did a repair and not telling us so if your car is creaking check the front end could be falling apart.

I started experiencing a strong smell of gasoline while driving and when the vehicles was shut down. When I first noticed the odor I could not see any visible leaks under the vehicle, after about a week I started noticing drips of fuel under the vehicle. I crawled under the vehicle to find the leak and noticed a very fine spray of gasoline coming from the top of the tank. I then dropped the fuel tank and noticed that tube from the fuel pump was corroded to the point that it was spraying gasoline while under pressure. The fuel pump is located in a low point on the top of the tank which allows for road debris/salt and water to sit and erode these tubes on the top of the fuel pump. This is a very dangerous problem as all it would take is any form of ignition to cause an uncontrollable fire. Gm should be required to repair this under a mandated recall due to the severity of this problem.

My car is reaping with the smell of gas on the inside and outside of the car. I called gm customer care center about this problem being hazardous and all they offered was a $150 voucher available at the gmc dealership. I am confused as to why 2006/2007 models were recalled for this matter and the 2003 model was not recalled. I am afraid to drive this car because I believe it will explode!
