NOT SURE WHEN AS IT HAS BEEN A WHILE. THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND I HAVE FILED THIS ONLINE A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT NEVER HEARD BACK AND I HAVE CONTACTED GMC SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF IT AS THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CALLS REGARDING IT AND IT IS ANYWHERE FROM 300.00 TO 600.00 TO FIX IT AND IT COULD TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS. TO ME THAT IS NOT OK. AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR MY VEHICLE IT SHOULD NOT DO THIS. IF GMC IS AWARE OF IT THEY SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED YOU GUYS AND A NOTICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT AS I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH PEOPLES ENVOYS AND THEY GET THE SAME UNCARING RESPONSE FROM GMC. TO ME THAT IS A PROBLEM,. *TR

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

LONG TERM PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT GREW MUCH WORSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 88K MILES ON IT. BACK IN 2010 THE TACHOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AT IDLE, IT WAS READING 5000-6000 RPM. KEPT WATCHING THE TACH OVER MONTHS AND IT WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE UNTIL THE NEEDLE FINALLY RESTED AT THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION. WASN'T A BIG DEAL. EARLY THIS YEAR (2013), OTHER GAUGES STARTED READING IMPROPERLY. ONE BY ONE THE OIL PRESSURE, SPEEDOMETER, AND FUEL GAUGE ALL WENT HAYWIRE, SHOWING READINGS OUTSIDE OF THEIR RANGE. THE ONLY TWO FUNCTIONAL GAUGES LEFT WERE VOLTAGE AND COOLANT TEMPERATURE WHEN I HAD THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED BACK IN MARCH THE CLUSTER IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE'S A THREAD AT EDMUNDS.COM WITH OVER 500 POSTS RELATED TO IT: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX?14@@.F17BA01/0 DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING ALL THE GAUGES CLOSELY, BUT I'D HATE TO SEE SOMEONE RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. *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

THE FUEL TANK NECK WHERE THE FUEL GOES INTO THE VEHICLE, THEN DOWN TO THE GAS TANK, HAS IN THE PLASTIC & LEAKS FUEL & GAS VAPORS SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. MY MECHANIC SAID THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THIS WITHOUT PURCHASING A NEW FUEL TANK SINCE THIS IS ALL ONE PIECE. *TR
