FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE MARCH OF 2014 FROM SUNSET MOTORS IN COEUR D ALENE, ID. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR DIED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACED; WHICH THEY REPLACED. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AND FILLED MY GAS TANK WHEN I BEGAN TO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE GAS LEAKING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE NECK OF THE GAS TANK WAS CRACKED AND THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. I LEFT WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER SUNSET MOTORS STATED THE REPAIR WAS DONE ON THE GAS TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE CODE WAS READING P0455 LARGE EVAP LEAK. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE GAS CAP AS RECOMMENDED BY AUTOZONE WHERE I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE CODE READ. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON OVER THE COURSE OF MONTHS. I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO AAMCO AFTER MY VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING WHILE IN IDLE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CRACK IN THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK WAS STILL APPARENT AND FUEL TANK NEEDED REPLACED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND GM HAD OFFERED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY WHEN RESEARCH INTO SAFETY WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY WHICH WAS ACCEPTED AND NO RECALL WAS DONE. GM HAS STATED THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I FEEL THAT THE LEAK IN THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AS THERE IS NO KNOWN REASON FOR A CRACK TO HAPPEN IN THE FUEL TANK. LIKE I SAID PREVIOUSLY I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND FEAR THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE WITH MYSELF AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL I AM ABLE TO AFFORD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED IN TO AND THE SAFETY AROUND THE DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
NOTICED A NO TRACTION IN MY CLUSTER ONE MONTH BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. WHEN I TURNED THE SUV OFF THE LIGHT WOULD GO AWAY. I HAD A CODE CHECK ON IT AND HAD CODES FOR MY ABS. SENSORS WHERE CHECKED AND TESTED. NO FAULT IN THE SENSORS. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT AS I WAS PASSING THE PERSON AND SWITCHING LANES THERE WAS A RED LIGHT AHEAD I APPLIED MY BREAKS AND THE NO TRACTION CAME ON AS I HIT A SMALL PATCH OF ICE. TRACTION DID NOT KICK ON OR ABS LEADING ME OUT TO M-24 FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD GETTING HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER BY A CHEVY TRACKER. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND TALKING WITH ASE TECH'S. A DEFECTIVE STEERING POSITIONING SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND KNOW IN THE 360 MODELS TO GO BAD. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT NO PROBLEM MILES AT 100097. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT USED TO EITHER STAY ON 0 OR GO UP TO 90. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES FOR SPEEDING BECAUSE I CAN NOT DETERMINE MY SPEED. SINCE THAT BROKE, I HAVE ALSO LOST ALL OF MY OTHER INSTRUMENTS, INCLUDING GAS... I RAN OUT OF GAS ON ROUTE 495 IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING ABOUT 60 MPG!!! THANKFULLY I DID NOT PANIC AND WAS ABLE TO GET MY FLASHERS ON AND MOVE INTO THE SLOW LANE AND THEN TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. I HAVE HAD MANY PEOPLE TELL ME THIS IS A RECALL ON THE GMC PICK UP TRUCKS BUT NOT THE ENVOY!!!! DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET KILLED IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE HIGH BEAMS DID NOT WORK EITHER. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET LIGHTS ON WAS TO HOLD THE FLASH-TO-PASS LIGHTS ON. I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BUT WENT OUT AGAIN AFTER I STARTED DRIVING. I STOPPED AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON 11/3/2014. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2012. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT WORK AND I USE THEM FOR CAR SEATS NOW WHICH PLACES MY LIL ONES AT RISK SINCE THEY MAY NOT BE PROPERLY FASTENED IN BECAUSE THIS SEAT BELT SHOULD FUNCTION. ALSO MY BACK HATCHBACK DOOR DOESN'T LATCH PROPERLY UNLESS I SLAM IT DOWN HARD. IF I DON'T GATE AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND I HEAR IT LOOSE. THE LATCH SYSTEM HAS FALLEN APART DUE TO THE SLAMMING. WINDOW PART ALSO DOES THIS SO I DON'T USE IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE NO RECALLS TO FIX THESE SAFETY HAZARDS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD AUTO PARTS STORE CHECK IT AND SAID COULD BE THE FUEL CAP. PUT NEW FUEL CAP ON AND AFTER A WHILE THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE BUT SAW NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF FOR A WHILE THEN BACK ON. I BOUGHT A SECOND FUEL CAP. HAD SAME RESULTS. NOW AFTER AN INTERNET SEARCH I FIND OUT THE FUEL TANKS CAN LEAK AROUND THE FILLER SPOUT ON THE TANK. I LOOKED AT MINE AND IT WAS SEEPING. BUT GM. WEBSITE SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR
