NHTSA Complaint #10233240 — 2003 GMC ENVOY

I COULD SMELL A GASOLINE ODOR AROUND MY 2003 ENVOY (45,860 MILES). TOOK VEHICLE TO COULTER OF TEMPE (AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALER) AND WAS ADVISED OF A LEAK AT FUEL INLET TO TANK PIPE AREA. WAS TOLD GAS TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. GM HAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 ENVOY XLS AND ISSUED A LETTER DATED JUNE 2007 COVERING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF REPLACING THESE FUEL TANKS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. THIS COVERAGE SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2003 ENVOYS AND A POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUED AS THIS LEAK AT THE FUEL FILLER NECK SEAM AT THE TANK IS NOT EASILY IDENTIFIED UNLESS VEHICLE IS HOISTED ON A LIFT. THEY DID OFFER US A DEAL WHERE WE WERE CHARGED A WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE OF $500, BUT I FEEL THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN ITS ENTIRETY. *TR
