SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FRACTURE #07099A. ISSUED AUGUST 24, 2007. MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS NOW EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS AS GM CLAIMS THEY DID NOT KNOW I WAS THE OWNER OF THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2005. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD NOT FILL THE GAS TANK FULL AS IT COULD CAUSE GAS LEAKAGE. I AM ALSO FACING AN EXPENSIVE BILL TO GET THIS FIXED. A RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. *TR

MY GMC'S SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WENT ON AND I TOOK INTO THE SHOP. THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A FUEL ISSUE FOR THE FUEL CAP AND THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT LEAKS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THIS PART SHOULD NEVER "WEAR OUT" OVER TIME OR DUE TO THE NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN. GMC NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLE AND REPLACE THIS PART FOR FREE! *TR

DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMING ON I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP. IT WAS STATED IF THE CAP IS NOT ON PROPERLY IT AFFECTS THE EMISSION CONTROLS. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP SEVERAL TIMES NOTHING HAS CHANGED ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN ACCURATE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS MATTER. VEHICLE HAS FAULTY / LEAKING AIR BAGS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION. UPON RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON GMC VEHICLES FROM 1994 ~ 2006. WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS? GMC ENVOY VEHICLE ARE SITTING VERY LOW DURING FREEZING TEMPERATURES. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE IT WILL RAISE BACK UP AND LEVEL ITSELF BUT IT SHOULD NOT DROP DOWN LOW PERIOD. WEBSITES ARE FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC REGARDING ALL THESE ISSUES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS REGARDING THESE MATTERS WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I HAVE VIEWED SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL WEBSITES REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES. EXTERIOR LIGHTS~ LAMPS HAVE FAULTY SOCKETS DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING INSIDE THE LAMPS / BACK UP LAMPS. BULBS BURNING OUT CONTINUOUSLY. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO A FREQUENT DEALER, MANY TIMES THEY'LL STEP OUTSIDE TO CHECK YOUR VEHICLE QUICKLY WITHOUT PUTTING YOU IN THE SYSTEM IF THEY FEEL NO SERVICE IS REQUIRED. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE WHY THESE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED/ REPORTED / OR RECORDED. IT IS APPARENT THERE ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH REPEAT MANUFACTURER DEFECTS/HAZARDS YEAR AFTER YEAR. IT IS NOT FAIR TO US (THE CUSTOMER). THEY CAN CONTINUALLY CONTACT YOU TO TRADE IN YOUR VEHICLE OR BUY IT, BUT THEY CAN'T CONTACT YOU REGARDING DEFECTS ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THEY ONLY NOTIFY THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF RECALLS. AGAIN THEY'LL CONTACT YOU REGARDING MARKETING AND ADVERTISING. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY LEAKING GASOLINE. I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. I CONTACTED GMC CORP. OFFICE TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR AND WAS DENIED, REASON GIVEN LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDER SAID CONSUMER CAUSED CRACK IN GAS TANK. ALSO ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE AT LEAST A PERCENTAGE OFF FROM LOCAL DEALERSHIP ALSO DENIED. I CALLED THE LOCAL SERVICE REPAIR WHILE ON HOLD WITH GMC AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT TELL GMC THAT I CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THE LOCAL SERVICE REPAIRMAN SAID THEY CAN NOT DETERMINE HOW THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED. HE WOULD NOT ADVOCATE NOR DENY A FAULTY PART BY GMC. WE JUST WANT OUR VEHICLE FIXED. MY FAMILY AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $1300. FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS CAR HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT WE CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THEM FINANCIALLY. CURRENTLY THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT BLOW, IT HAS WORKED IN SEVERAL YEARS. THE PASSENGER WINDOW CHOOSES WHEN IT WANTS TO ROLL DOWN, THE CD PLAYER JUST STOPPED PLAYING AFTER THE TWO YEARS. OFTEN WHEN I PUT GAS INSIDE THE CAR I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN BECAUSE THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG IN THE BACKSEAT WHERE MY CHILDREN SIT. WE HAVE TO PUT GAS INSIDE THE CAR EVERY TWO DAYS. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY FAMILY. I READ ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE A INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED AND WAS CLOSED DUE TO GMC WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST THE CONSUMER. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND HER SUPERVISOR THAT I WAS AWARE A INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED. THEY INDICATED THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF A INVESTIGATION AND TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE I AM THE FIRST GMC CONSUMER TO REPORT SUCH A PROBLEM. ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY I AM REQUESTING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. I CRINGE EVERYTIME I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. WE CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AND WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP US IN THIS MATTER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XUV DIES WHEN IN DRIVE AND STOPPED FOR STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC. WHEN THE GAS IS APPLIED, THE CAR DIES AND I TIE UP TRAFFIC WHILE HAVING TO SHIFT TO PARK, RESTART THE ENGINE, AND THEN SHIFT TO DRIVE AND PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. IT NEVER DIES WHILE DRIVING, ONLY AT A STOP. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND, BECAUSE THERE IS NO "CODE" , THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. THE CAR ALSO HAS A GAS TANK THAT IS CRACKED AT THE NECK AND CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON ALL THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP ASSURES ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN NOR DOES THE GAS TANK CRACK HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE DYING. THERE IS NO GAS LEAK BUT AIR DOES GET INTO THE TANK CAUSING THE LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN CLEANED AND THE ENTIRE EMISSION SYSTEM HAS ALSO BEEN CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. DEALERSHIP ALSO SAYS THAT THE GAS TANK PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON BUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL..................WHY NOT?????? THE MAIN COMPUTER MODULE WAS REPLACED AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV AND WHEN THE OIL WAS JUST RECENTLY CHANGED THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AT THE POINT WHERE THE FILLER MET THE MAIN BODY OF THE TANK. HE SAID SINCE THE TANK WAS PLASTIC THE GAS WAS CAUSING THE DETERIORATION AND THE ENTIRE TANK WOULD CAUSE A MAJOR ISSUE. AFTER CHECKING WITH OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF THE 3 YR WARRANTY PERIOD AND SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN ARIZONA AND NOT CALIFORNIA IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED GMC WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE PART OF A REPLACEMENT PLAN THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE PAYING FOR, NOT LIKE A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM (CHANGING TIRES, OIL CHANGES, SPARK PLUGS, ETC.) CUTTING CORNERS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE LIGHTER AND THEN NOT SUPPORTING THE CHANGE IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO BE POPULAR. *TR
