NHTSA Complaint #10349262 — 2004 GMC ENVOY XL

2004 GMC ENVOY XUV DIES WHEN IN DRIVE AND STOPPED FOR STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC. WHEN THE GAS IS APPLIED, THE CAR DIES AND I TIE UP TRAFFIC WHILE HAVING TO SHIFT TO PARK, RESTART THE ENGINE, AND THEN SHIFT TO DRIVE AND PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. IT NEVER DIES WHILE DRIVING, ONLY AT A STOP. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND, BECAUSE THERE IS NO "CODE" , THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. THE CAR ALSO HAS A GAS TANK THAT IS CRACKED AT THE NECK AND CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON ALL THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP ASSURES ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN NOR DOES THE GAS TANK CRACK HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE DYING. THERE IS NO GAS LEAK BUT AIR DOES GET INTO THE TANK CAUSING THE LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN CLEANED AND THE ENTIRE EMISSION SYSTEM HAS ALSO BEEN CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. DEALERSHIP ALSO SAYS THAT THE GAS TANK PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON BUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL..................WHY NOT?????? THE MAIN COMPUTER MODULE WAS REPLACED AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THEN. *TR
