2004 GMC Envoy fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 67 of 67, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2004 gmc envoy, well maintained at 158,000 miles began to emit an odor of gasoline. At first it was only slightly noticeable, but overtime it's become very noticeable. Interior and exterior of the car smells like gasoline. No gasoline is leaked, only fumes are emitted. Took it to a local repair shop and they state that there is a crack on the inlet of the fuel tank. Repair shop stated my model is not covered by the recall issued for envoy xl of the same year, but stated it is exactly the same issue and that I should file a complaint here. Estimate cost of repair $1000+.
Check engine light diagnosed as dtc code p0442 (evap leak). Smoke test revealed crack in fuel tank assembly where filler neck hose meets the fuel tank. *tr gmc issued a bulletin no.: 05-06-04-014a on march 21, 2005 regarding the above referenced dtc code and its possible connection to a fracture in the fuel tank, but has not issued a recall or other remedy for this defect. Vehicle is unsafe due to fuel tank fracture. In addition, vehicle cannot be registered because it cannot pass smog test with check engine light on. Cost for repair is $1,300-$1,500.
A very strong odor of gasoline is inside and outside of my car. When the car is started and being driven the smell is most heaviest. After driving and it sits, you can continue to smell the gas fumes. I took my vehicle to a certified dealership to find out the problem and a diagnostic was done. Unfortunately, I was told that the problem could not be detected. I continue to be afraid that maybe my can is going to catch on fire or explode at any time. After doing my research, I have found that there are many owners of gmc envoys with this same problem. Some of the models have been recalled, but this issue reaches far beyond those models. All make and models with this problem should be recalled.
There is a strong gasoline smell inside and outside the vehicle. The check engine light is on and the code is indicating some type of vapor/emissions problem. I took the vehicle to 2 different mechanics and they both found that the fuel tank filler area has a vapor and liquid leak. There is a tsb issued by gmc that covers this situation but they will only honor it on vehicles prior to 2004.
My car is leaking gas and I. Can only put 20 or 30 dollars worth in at a time where most of it ends up on the ground. There is also a very strong gas smell. I'm taking it in to be fixed but this is obviously a problem since I just read that other owners are having this problem so there should be a recall before someone is seriously hurt my check engine light also comes on for a while and then goes off. These are problems that require a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 gmc envoy. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle in a residential garage, there was a strong gasoline fuel odor coming from the interior and exterior of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who inspected the vehicle and found that there was a fuel tank inlet check valve fracture. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection of the failure. The manufacturer was notified and stated there was no recall and offered no further assistance for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 83,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 gmc envoy. The contact stated that there was an overpowering gasoline fuel smell outside of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic and the mechanic discovered a fuel leak between the hose and the fuel tank. The mechanic did not replace any components of the fuel tank or the hoses. The failure mileage was 138,000.
Starting shortly after envoy was bought I noticed that the fuel gauge would show quarter tank one, then after shutting off and starting again it was out of fuel and the light was on. In july 2011 the oil pressure gauge went high and it is now pegged and doesn't reset. I asked dealer about it and there was an outrageous price just to diagnose. Jan 2012 and now speedometer gauge does not reset, it is stuck at 30 MPH and goes up to 85-90 when driving. After researching today I see a service bulletin about the instrument cluster, I never received the instrument cluster letter from gm, because envoy wasn't included, but it is the same issues as other vehicle on the service bulletin. Please hold gm responsible for these defects.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 gmc envoy. The contact stated that there was an overpowering gasoline odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who advised that the fuel tank exhibited a leak and needed to be replaced. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the fuel leak and the manufacturer suggested taking the vehicle to the dealer for repairs. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The cluster gauge quit working. First the gas gauge stopped reading the amount of gas in the tank. Second, the speedometer and tachometer quit reading. About a month later the oil pressure gauge stopped working. Currently out of the entire cluster gauge system the battery meter is the only gauge that works.
2004 gmc envoy. Faulty gas gauge. Car has a full tank but gas gauge reads 1/4 tank to empty.
2004 gmc envoy 6-cyl 2wd with ~172,000 miles. Check engine light was due to evap leak in the fuel system. Smoke check at the mechanics resulted in visible smoke exiting the filler neck of the fuel tank (not the filler neck from the gas line). New fuel tank (dealer part only!) is ~$900 from dealer to dealer. Plus labor.
2004 gmc envoy. Customer requested fuel sending unit to be replaced. Upon speaking with other envoy owners this is a common occurrence in corrosion areas, namely nova scotia. The leak was found after owner smelled a constant gas odor around the back driver wheel well. When the gas tank was taken down for inspection the modular reservoir assembly, which contained the fuel pump, developed corrosion of the fuel fee/return pipes after an extended period of time. The modular reservoir assembly had to be entirely replaced on september 28, 2010. The vehicle only had 88,546km.
2004 gmc envoy. Consumer requests reimbursement for fuel module replacement *tgw in october of 2008, the consumer received a notification that some 2004 model year gmc envoy vehicles operated in one of the corrosion areas such as new york. The fuel tank modular reservoir assembly, which contained the fuel pump, could develop corrosion of the fuel fee/return pipes after an extended period of time. The consumer stated she kept the letter in case she had a problem in the future. On august 10, 2010, she started smelling a constant strong gas smell inside and outside of the vehicle. When the consumer went to the dealer for her scheduled appointment, the manager pointed out that the notice stated that gmc would only provide an extended coverage within 10 years of the date the vehicle was originally placed in service or up to 120,000 miles. The consumers vehicle had 124,979 miles on it at the date of service. The consumer contacted several managers at gmc to see if she would qualify for reimbursement for the known issue, but was denied on each call.

Right after purchasing. Engine light has been on. Purchased in june/2006, with 40,000miles. 1yr after the RPM gauge quit working, right afterwards,the fuel gauge started messing up, going back & forth,then went out completely, battery/oil gauges are out now. The seat belt lights/airbag lights bing constantly & does not tighten up when put on brakes. When this happens the check gauges light comes on, and at the same time I have difficulty getting it in gear. I am also having trouble setting my cruise control.
Received a special case 07076 letter from gmc. Took 2004 gmc letter indicated if you were not seeing symptoms you are not to take it to dealer. I already have regular maintenance service scheduled and brought this sc07076 letter to dealer to inquire about case. Dealer service advisor recommended to have this sc07076 service performed as preventively maintenance eventhough the vehicle was not exhibiting these symptoms. The service was performed and immediately the vehicle began to show symptoms in the exact nature that was described in the sc07076 letter, fuel fumes, fuel leak when filling, ses light on... Took vehicle back and dealer indicated that they will not perform free service eventhough it should still be covered under stipulations of sc07076 letter as well as their warranty policy. Currently this is a health and safety issues since my children and I get headaches from gas fumes when needing to use the vehicle as fear for our safety since fuel leaks from gas tank now. I am trying to prevent any injury or death, mine, a passenger or near by person. Apparently gmc and dealer are aware of the problems but now ignore the situation due to their current financial situation.
The fuel gauge on my 2004 gmc envoy is not working.
I own a 2004 gmc envoy with approximately 85,000 "highway" miles. My check engine light came on a few months ago an I had it analyzed at a large auto repair chain. It indicated a vacuum leak. The mechanic determined that the top of the pvc gas tank where the inlet value was mounted to the tank during manufacturing was likely the source as there was fuel stains running down the tank from this location! To add some additional support to this matter, the mechanic stated that another general motors vehicle of the same type had the same, exact problem the week before. Obviously this is not my problem alone. I contacted general motors and long story short, they refused to replace the tank because it was out of warranty. The gmc mechanic indicated that if it had 60,000 miles or fewer, he would likely have replaced it for me. I attempted to explain that a fuel leak is a very dangerous problem and I was concerned about my families safety. To explode or burn in an accident, because of this problem was unacceptable. This is not a mileage factor and it is not a wear part, it was simply not properly sealed when it was being manufactured. I feel that general motors should check into this matter as it is a serious safety issue that likely affects many envoys and trail blazers. I hope that this notice will start a full investigation and a recall. A death from this defective part is very possible. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Gasoline smelled/leak. Replaced gas tank.
Rpm gauge shows I am at 7000 RPM when stopped at idle. While driving the gauge moves backwards, to a negative ramp number, below the zero. Went to shop today and couldn't fix it. Will go back to dealership next week to attempt to fix the problem.
I bought my gmc envoy in january 2004 for approx. $42,000. This car has everything. After about 2 months of the purchase, my GPS went out and had been fixed twice. My brakes do not always work --sometimes they slip especially when I need them most -which is scary. Gmc said that they have heard about this problem before, but did nothing to resolve the problem. The engine stalls periodically. Gmc said they do not know why. The gas gauge and odometer do not work properly. When I brought my vehicle into north county gmc dealership in san diego for repairs I mentioned my gas gauge did not work along with many of the other issues. After they repaired the odometer by replacing the cluster, the gas gauge still did not work. Every single time these problems happen I am forced to pay a $100 service charge just so they can look at it and because I am in sales, I am also forced to get a rental car. After all this, I am still quite displeased with gmc. I hate to say it but they are supposed to be the best american car ??professional grade?? And if this is true I will never buy an american vehicle again. Gmc said they would be checking on all these problems and every single time I picked my envoy up after they supposedly fixed the problems, I found several issues still unresolved. They suggest I need to set another meeting to bring my envoy in and of course will cost another $100.
