GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK UNKNOWN DUE TO THIS ERROR, NOT ONLY MAKING DRIVING UNSAFE, IT IS ALSO A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. WE HAVE REPLACED FUEL FILTER IN GAS TANK AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. NOW OUR MECHANIC HAS SUGGESTED A NEW IMSTRUMENT CLUSTER.....$500 LATER WILL IT BE FIXED?' ALL THE WHILE GMC KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM.

GMC IS ADMITTING TO A FAULTY GAS TANK AND ONLY COVERS THIS UP TO 150,000 MILES I BOUGHT THE CAR AFTER THE 150,000 MILES AND NOW HAVE GAS LEAKING THE TANK WAS NEVER FIXED. WHY DOES THE MILEAGE MAKE A DIFFERENCE? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT GMC SHOULD COVER REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE. JUST BECAUSE MY GAS TANK DID NOT LEAK AS SOON AS OTHER ONES DID MEANS I SHOULD NOT BE COVERED? A RECALL IS A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM.

MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHEN I AM EITHER TURNING OR SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, TURN THE KEY OFF THEN ON AGAIN AND IT STARTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THE ENGINE DOESN'T SHOW ANY WARNING LIGHTS IT JUST SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW ABOUT 6 TIMES.

THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. PLASTIC GAS TANK LEAKS. GMC DOES NOT CARE. I TALKED WITH THEM THEY IGNORE REPAIR IS $1,600.00 OR MORE. PEOPLE ARE FIXING WITH GLUE? GASOLINE SPILL FROM CRACKED PLASTIC FUEL TANK.

I TOOK VEHICLE TO GMC DEALER FOR AN UNRELATED GM SPECIAL SERVICE PROGRAM AND UPON REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK, THEY FOUND EXTENSIVE RUST-THROUGH ADJACENT TO WHERE THE TANK MOUNTS TO THE FRAME. THEY SAID THE "VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN" YET IT HAS ONLY 100,000 MILES AND ITS EXTERIOR APPEARS ALMOST LIKE-NEW. DEALER FEELS THE DESIGN OF THE TANK BEING MOUNTED AGAINST THE FRAME CAUSED ROAD SALT, ETC TO GET TRAPPED WHERE IT CANNOT BE CLEANED OUT BY UNDERCARRIAGE CAR WASHES. I RECENTLY CONTACTED GMC BUT MY COMPLAINT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED TO MY SATISFACTION. I SUSPECT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ENVOY/TRAILBLAZER (XL) MODELS STILL ON THE ROAD WITH THIS HIDDEN "CANCER".

FUEL PUMP MODULE CORROSION CAUSING LEAKING FUEL AND FUEL VAPORS FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT AS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE SITS LOWER THAN THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE FUEL TANK AND MOISTURE AND DEBRIS ACCUMULATE ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. THE TOP OF THE MODULE IS NOT MANUFACTURED WITH APPROPRIATE RUST-PROOFING MEASURES AND THE MATERIALS USED LEAVE IT PRONE TO RUSTING AND FAILURE, COMPROMISING THE SEAL AND ALLOWING FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE TANK. THIS POSES A FIRE HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF FUEL IS ABLE TO REACH HEATED EXHAUST PIPES, ETC. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO A A GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS DENIED REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR. THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS SINCE EXPIRED, PROVING THAT GM IS / WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. GIVEN THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE, THIS SHOULD BE ESCALATED TO RECALL STATUS DUE TO THE INHERENT SAFETY ISSUE AND FIRE RISK.

THE FUEL INLET SEAL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK HAD SEPARATED CAUSING A SMELL OF FUEL AND ALLOWING MATTER TO ENTER THE FUEL TANK FROM THE TOP...POSSIBLY CAUSING THE PREMATURE FAILING OF THE FUEL PUMP. WE UNDERSTAND GMC HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE TO 150,000 MILES. OUR VEHICLE HAD OVER 155,000 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURED BUT WE NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM GMC OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. HAD WE RECEIVED THIS NOTIFICATION WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN IN THE VEHICLE FOR AN IMMEDIATE REPAIR. THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND WE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW FUEL TANK (AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY TOP SEAL) AND FUEL PUMP...COSTING US ALMOST $1,700.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM , BUT IN THE PAST I READ IN MY LOCAL PRESS THAT MY ENVOY WAS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE OF FALLTY AIRBAGS. I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE ,AS I CONTUEING TO READ MANY OF GMC CARS ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY SLT MODEL 4.2L V6 4WD AND AS I WAS BACKING INTO MY GARAGE I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WHINNING NOISE AND I NOW HAVE NO REVERSE GEAR AND WHEN I SELECT THE DRIVE GEAR ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION I HAVE A WHINNING NOISE, I HAVE READ THE BLOGS ON THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THAT GM AND GMC ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME UP TO $2,800.00 PLUS TAX TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REMOVED AND A RE-MANUFACTURED ON REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS JUST GLAD THAT THIS MATTER HAPPENED AT MY RESIDENCE AND NOT ON SOME BACK ROAD IN WEST VA., I BELIEVE THAT AS STATED, GM AND GMC IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE 4L603 TRANSMISSION THAT WERE USED IN THESE VEHICLES' AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE SUN-SHELL AND THE REACTION SUN GEARS THAT ARE LIKE A GRENADE EXPLODING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE FOR A RECALL TO BE STARTED ON THIS PROBLEM AND THE OWNERS TO BE PAID BACK ON ALL OF THESE REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DEFLATED ON BOTH SIDES ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BOTTOM OUT ON STOPS. UPDATED 07/08/15

DUE TO A BRAKE PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE PROBLEM (OPEN/SHORTED CIRCUIT), THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES AT ABOUT 8 MPH IN LOW SPEED STOPPING SITUATIONS ON WET AND DRY DRIVING SURFACES CAUSING TEMPORARY ENGINE STALLING AND POWER STEERING CONTROL LOSS AND LENGTHENED DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.

I NOTICED A ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET. THE ENGINE MADE AN UNUSUAL NOISE SO I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, THE CAR STARTED WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR RAN FOR A SHORT TIME THEN STOPPED AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART ITSELF ABOUT 5 TIMES. OUR MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND SAID THERE HAD BEEN A FIRE IN THE FUSE BOX. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE CHARRED REMAINS OF THE FUSE BOX, COVER AND CONNECTORS. MOST OF THE PLASTIC CONNECTORS UNDER THE FUSE BOX COULD NOT BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY HAD MELTED AND WERE FUSED ONTO THE BOX. HE NOTED THE FIRE SEEMED TO ORIGINATE FROM FUSE 46, THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE. FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT ISSUES INVOLVING BULBS THAT WERE BURNING OUT FREQUENTLY OR WERE GOING OUT THEN COMING BACK ON.

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.
