2003 GMC Envoy 360 Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

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.
