2002 GMC ENVOY Complaints

IN LATE 2007, MY WIFE BEGAN SMELLING A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM IN AND AROUND OUR 2002 GMC ENVOY XL. THE ODOR IS PRESENT WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL OR NEAR EMPTY. *TR

GAS SMELL BOTH IN AND OUT OF VEHICLE. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS GAS WOULD LEAK AFTER CAR WAS DRIVEN. FUEL PUMP LEAKED DUE TO RUSTED PIPE ON FUEL PUMP TO FUEL LINE. IT IS THE ONLY EXPOSED STEEL FITTING AND SITS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK WHERE WATER AND MOISTURE CAN COLLECT, WHICH IS THEN CONDUCIVE TO RUSTING. *TR

MY HEADLIGHT DRIVER MODULE FUSE CAUGHT FIRE AND CAUSED A FIRE IN MY FUSE BOX IN WHICH I HAD TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE FUSE GOT HOT AND INSTEAD OF SHORTING OUT AND BLOWING THE FUSE IT CAUGHT FIRE. HAD I NOT BEEN IN MY DRIVEWAY MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BURNT COMPLETELY TO THE GROUND. THIS IMPOSES A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS WHILE GMC DECIDES WHAT THEY WILL DO. *TR
