What owners say
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.
Strong smell of gas and leaking from top of tank.
Fuel tank. At least three years ago, I received a recall form gm because of the fuel filler tube/fuel tank was compromised and I was being recalled for a fun tank replacement. Went to my gmc dealer (nalley of brunswick ga) who told me that fuel tanks were on national backdoor even though they had the filler tube parts, would notify me when the tanks available. I faithfully revistedthem every 6 months to be told same story, still no fuel tanks. I believe now they are hoping I just go away. In the mean time I still cannot fill up the tank without having gas fumes emanating from under the car.
Leaking fuel on tank at fuel neck...fuel fumes, fuel on ground may cause fire, not environmentally safe as fuel is dumping on the ground where ever you drive
Strong gasoline odor. Received a notice in 2016 regarding this. Notice said no action required if there was not gasoline smell. The odor was noticed about a month ago. Called the dealer that sent the notice who told me it expired! They never said the repair would expire, but to ignore it unless I smelled gasoline. So now gasoline fumes are not dangerous??
Recently, when the A/C or heater is turned on, the smell of fuel comes thru the air vents. It is a strong odor which last for a few minutes to sometimes longer. I have to put the windows down in order to not get dizzy or get a headache. The vehicle be in motion or still for this to happen. Mileage is around 95,000. I've heard it's a cracked fuel line or fuel tank and read many complaints about the same; therefore, why no recall?
Fuel odor -strong, from region of fuel tank. Loss of fuel while driving, far more than normal useage! Investigation shows faulty tank to fill line connection at tank 'spout'. Or fault at fuel pump area- hidden on top of tank. Parked strong gas odor. Driving or on grade, fuel loss !
Only 8 years old and 140,000 miles the exhaust manifold has cracked allowing exhaust fumes to enter the interior of the car. I have had no accidents with this car and I see no reason why the manifold should crack. I have had cars longer then this that never had this problem. Manifolds should not just crack.

- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.
