FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF MY CAR. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND BEING DRIVEN THE SMELL IS MOST HEAVIEST. AFTER DRIVING AND IT SITS, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SMELL THE GAS FUMES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DETECTED. I CONTINUE TO BE AFRAID THAT MAYBE MY CAN IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE OR EXPLODE AT ANY TIME. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF GMC ENVOYS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME OF THE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THIS ISSUE REACHES FAR BEYOND THOSE MODELS. ALL MAKE AND MODELS WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE EVENING, THE SPEEDOMETER BECAME "STUCK" AT ABOUT 30 MPH. WE PULLED OFF AT A REST STOP AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, HOPING THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD RESET ITSELF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER SAT AT 60 MPH, EVEN THOUGH WE WERE STILL SITTING AT THE REST STOP--NOT MOVING. WE TRIED TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THIS TIME WHEN WE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE "STUCK" AT OVER 120 MPH--AGAIN WE WERE NOT MOVING. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STAYED PAST THE 120 MPH MARK FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP HOME. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO FOLLOW SOME FRIENDS HOME. A FEW DAYS LATER, WE TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC. HE INDICATED THAT HE HAD SEEN THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM BEFORE WITH OTHER GMCS AND HE THEN REPLACED THE "INSTRUMENT CLUSTER" IN OUR VEHICLE. WE ALSO DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL GMC MODELS HAD BEEN RECALLED DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, BUT THE RECALLS DID NOT APPEAR TO INCLUDE THE 2005 GMC ENVOY. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE VEHICLE STALLED. I HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK COME AND GIVE ME GAS TO GET ME STARTED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NOW I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON BECAUSE OF THE STALLING CAUSE GUNK TO GET IN CERTAIN ENGINE PARTS. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR THAT THE DRIVER HAS TO PAY FOR 50%.
