2004 GMC Envoy Fuel System Problems

WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK , I COULD SMELL GAS... GOT OUT AND SAW A VISIBLE LEAK COMING FROM THE GAS TANK.. I PROCEEDED TO LOOK THIS PROBLEM UP, AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE .

HAD ANOTHER GAS TANK PUT IN AFTER 3 BREAKING AND LEAKING GAS. NOW IT CUTS IN AND OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD

THE GAS TANK KEEPS CRACKING CAUSING GAS TO LEAK OUT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR THIS AND CAR HOP ONLY WANTS TO CONTINUE TO PUT A USED TANK ON IT. THE SHOP REQUESTED A NEW TANK BE PURCHASED AND THEY DENIED TO REQUEST. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOP THEY WEN THOUGH THREE TANKS THEN IT ONLY LASTED ABOUT A MONTH.

LEAKS FUEL. COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECH THAT FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PLASTIC TANK IS BROKEN WHERE FILL HOSE CONNECTS TO THE TANK INLET CHECK VALVE.

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 !

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 TANK CHECK VALVE MOUNT SEPARATES FROM TANK CAUSING A LEAK. GM WILL NOT FIX THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION. I HAVE SEEN MANY OWNERS ON THE INTERNET WITH SAME ISSUE.

P0455 SES LIGHT ALONG WITH FUEL TANK HARD TO FILL,FUEL BURPING BACK UP FILLER NECK WHEN CAP IS REMOVED FOR FILLING TANK,FUEL AROUND TO OF FILLER TUBE AT GAS CAP BEFORE REMOVAL FOR FILLING,FUEL SPELL WITH FUEL CAP ON,FIRST DAY THE P0455 SES LIGHT CAME ON REPLACE THE FUEL CAP WITH FACTORY AC DELCO REPLACEMENT CAP.

BACK IN 2012,I WAS UNABLE TO PASS INSPECTION ON MY CAR BECAUSE MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON (02/2012) AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC. SOMETHING UNDER MY CAR MELTED (SAID IN SERVICE RECEIPT) AND COST ME $343.00 TO REPAIR. A WEEK LATER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN AND I TOOK MY CAR TO KERBECKS GMC IN ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. SERVICE MANAGER SAID MY CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED, BUT I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID OTHERWISE. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER AND AFTER LONG ARGUMENT, IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. RECEIPT DOESN'T STATE CAUSE OR WORK DONE. NOW I BROUGHT CAR BACK TO KERBECK AS THE SMELL OF GAS IN MY CAR IS PUNGENT. THEY SAID MY CAR HAD A CRACK IN MY FUEL TANK, COVERED UNDER 14423 AND SAID GM WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE IT AS A FIRE COULD OCCUR. ERBECK GAVE ME A LOANER FOR TWO WEEKS ON 12/31/20015.

I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR SINCE THE 14TH OF JANUARY, LIVE ALONE, AND HAVE NO MEANS OF GETTING AROUND. I CAN'T AFFORD A RENTAL. OPENED CASE WITH GM, CASE # 8-1759699353 WITH A WOMAN NAMED CARMEN WHO SAID IT WOULD TAKE OVER A MONTH AT BEST TO GET THE BACKORDERED PART IN. I NEED A LOANER AND A WAY TO GET AROUND.
