VEHICLE HAS A INLET FUEL LEAK, A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE GMC ENVOY XL 4X4, BUT HAS PUT A 150,000 MILE CAP ON THE RECALL WHICH I FIND NEGLIGENT AS THE ISSUE STILL EXIST REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE, JUST SEEMS LIKE A WAY TO WORM OUT OF RESPONSIBILITY.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALL DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES JUST STOP WORKING. THEY WILL COME BACK ON BUT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO MY HEADLIGHTS GO ON AND OFF I HAVE CHANGED OUT THE BULBS THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND NO ITS NOT. ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING AT 530AM THEY STOPPED AND HAVE NOT TURNED BACK ON CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER AND NOW MISSING WORK TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JUNE AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS IT'S GETTING WORSE. I CAN'T DRIVE 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVE MY HEADLIGHTS JUST STOP WORKING. I ALSO SMELL GASOLINE INSIDE MY VEHICLE FREQUENTLY.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 70-75MPH , THE HEADLIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS, ALL THE LIGHTING JUST SHUT OFF! I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I WAS ON ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS INTERSTATES, KNOWN FOR FATAL ACCIDENTS... AND I'M DRIVING IN THE DARK WITHOUT LIGHTS! I QUICKLY MOVED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF IN CASE OF FAULTY WIRING/FIRE HAZARD. AFTER APPROX. A FIVE MINUTE PHONE CALL, I STARTED CAR, LIGHTS WORKED. STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, APPROX. 10 MINUTES DOWN ROAD, LIGHTS SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED SOON! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CAN KILL PEOPLE! *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO JAY AUTO MALL IN COLUMBUS GA. AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE FLAP ON THE WASHER FLAP THAT COVERS THE HOLE THAT DELIVERS THE WINDSHEILD WIPER FLUID TO CLEAN THE WINDSHEILD. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BREAKDOWN THE COMPLETE DELIVERY SYSTEM OF THE WIPER FLUID TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DELIVERY SYSTEM WORKS FINE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALL I NEED IS A REPAIR OF THE WIPER FLAP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. CAN YOU HELP ME?

RECALLS THAT ARE SERIOUSLY AFFECTING THE CAR'S SAFETY THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE SERVICE CALL HAS CLOSED, BUT WAS BOUGHT THAT WAY WITHOUT KNOWING. THE WIPER MOTOR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE, PREVENTING CLEAR SAFE VISION DURING RAIN, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS STUCK IN 4 WD, THE FRONT SUSPENSION POSSIBLY CRACKED, THE HEADLIGHT DOESN'T FACE STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD, THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS DEFECT THAT IF DEPLOYED CAN CAUSE BODILY INJURY TO THE PASSENGER, LICENSE PLATE ONLY WORKS WHEN ITS SLAMMED SHUT, AND HAVE ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL UNDER THE DASH THAT APPARENTLY FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS NO. 101, "CONTROL LOCATION, IDENTIFICATION, AND ILLUMINATION" AND NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION..BUT YET GM WONT REPAIR IT !!! ALL OF THESE ARE PRIOR RECALLS, BUT BECAUSE I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND DIDN'T TAKE THE CAR IN WHEN THEY WERE FIRST ANNOUNCED, GM REFUSES TO MAKE MY ENVOY SAFE FROM CAUSING ME OR MY KIDS HARM. BECAUSE THE FIRST OWNER DIDN'T DO IT, OR BECAUSE ITS TOO LATE. IF A YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF A CAR HAS A RECALL, WHY DOES IT MATTER WHEN THE ISSUE SURFACES, ITS OBVIOUSLY A CAUSE FOR CONCERN, WHY NOT REPAIR IT? *TR

I OWN A 2003 GMC ENVOY XLT SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A CRACKED FUEL TANK. DEALER SHOWED ME WHERE THE FUEL WAS LEAKING IT WAS LEAKING ON A WELD THAT ATTACHES THE FILLER HOSE TO THE FUEL TANK. THIS CERTAINLY ISN'T A WEARABLE PART AND IT DOESN'T RECEIVE MUCH CORROSION DUE TO BEING A FLORIDA CAR. THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND MANY VEHICLE OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK THAT A FUEL LEAK MAY LEAD TO EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ALL MOTOR VEHICLE OWNERS. I UNDERSTAND AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN RAISED AND CLOSED. IT IS UNFAIR THAT GM MANUFACTURES A FUEL TANK THAT COULD BE A RISK TO ITS CONSUMERS. THIS CASE NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AND REOPENED. *TR
