FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A MECHANIC HOOK HIS COMPUTER UP TO THE VEHICLE. THE CODE IT GAVE WAS A BAD GAS CAP. HE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND RESET THE COMPUTER. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I ALSO SMELLED GAS AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND NOTICED GAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I AM HAVING THE GAS TANK DROPPED AND CHECKED THIS WEEKEND. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM? *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS I HAVE SMELLED GAS AND STARTED GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID ALL THE NECESSARY STEPS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM COME TO FIND OUT THE FILLER NECK IS BROKEN AWAY FROM THE TANK THAT HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL OF A FIERY REAR-END CRASH. CURSING THE NET IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE AND FROM SOME OF THE COMMENTS HAVE LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM OUT THERE . IS THERE SOME WAY TO GET GM TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM WITH THEIR GAS TANK? *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY WITH 82,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO THE SUNSHELL GEAR WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS DOWNSHIFTING HARD, I TOOK THE CAR TO A GMC DEALER LESS THAN 1000 MILES AGO TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD MY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO REVERSE AND THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $1,800. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AFTER I PARKED MY 2003 GMC ENVOY XL IN THE GARAGE. AFTER INSPECTING, NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING ON GROUND. TOWED TO MECHANIC. TOLD TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSE WAS LAYING NEXT TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER - NOT SECURED. HEAT FROM CC RUBBED HOLE IN TC HOSE AND THEREFORE COULD HAVE IGNITED VEHICLE. SINCE I HAD PARKED IN THE GARAGE, IT ALSO COULD HAVE BURNED MY OTHER VEHICLE AND OUR HOUSE. MECHANIC REPLACED HOSE AND SECURED. GMC WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A PROBLEM SINCE I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY RECALL OR BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM. *JB

THERE IS A RECALL ON ERRATIC WIPER OPERATION IN MY 2003 GMC ENVOY. BUT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, IF I WANT FIXED. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS DON'T SHUT OFF IF TOO MUCH MOISTURE GETS IN THE WIPER MODULE. SHOULD BE AN OPEN RECALL. *NM

WHEN I FILL MY ENVOY WITH GAS, IT WILL NOT STOP WHEN IT IS FULL. THE GAS THEN SPILLS OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE SUV AND CAUSES ME TO CLEAN IT IMMEDIATELY AND SMELL LIKE GAS. I KNOW THAT IT IS THE SUV AND NOT THE PUMP BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH MY OTHER VEHICLE AT THE SAME PUMP. *JB
