I HAVE A 2005 ENVOY AND IT JUST STARTED SMELLING OF GAS FUMES REALLY BAD AND AS I WAS READING SOME INFORMATION ON YOUR SITE I HAVE ALSO AGREE IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM YOU SEE WHERE IT WAS SEALED NOT BY OIL CLAY OR ANY GOOEY SUBSTANCE OF THAT SOURCE ITS SECURED BY WELDING I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WORK FOR NUMMI AND I WAS A QC INSPECTOR AND DID THE TEAR DOWN ON THE GAS TANKS FOR SAFETY IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME TANKS SLIP BY BECAUSE NOT EVERY ONE IS CK THERE RANDOM CHECKS I BELIEVE ITS THE O YES O RING THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY WELDED PROPERLY CAUSING LEAKS THAT IS THE GAS FUME I AM SMELLING IN MY CURRENT ENVOY (2005) .AND YES IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THESE FUMES YOU KNOW IT AND SO DUE I .LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPEN ONE DAY THERE WAS THIS GENTLEMAN WHO WAS ON THE JOB AND LOTS OF GAS TANK SLIP THROUGH THAT DAY ROLLING OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE AND SHIP OUT TO DEALER SHIPS WHERE THE O RINGS WERE NOT HOLDING UP DURING THE TEAR DOWN PROCESS OF THE INSPECTION. WELL NEED LESS TO SAY THE UNITS WENT OUT TO BE SOLD TO CONSUMER .AND THEY WANTED TO FIRE THE INSPECTOR BUT THEY JUST SUSPENDED HIM FOR A WEEK.ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED ON MY INSPECTION ROUTE IN BODY N WELD I HAD FOUND A SPLIT ON THE FLOOR PAN OF THE COROLLA VERY LARGE AND HARD TO SEE GUESS I JUST GOT LUCKY BUT SO THE MANAGER AT THAT TIME WAS A FEMALE AND SHE WENT TO THE END OF THE ASSEMBLY LINE AND SURE ENOUGH THOSE SPLIT HAD BEEN SHIP OUT TO THE DEALER SHIPS THEY TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE ONES THAT WERE SHIP YOU SEE IF YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MEDAL IT WILL CONTINUE TO SPLIT OF COURSE THE CARPET COVER IT WHO WILL KNOW .THE REMINDING ONES WELL THEY PLACE A SPOT WELD ON EACH SIDE OF THE SPLIT AND SOME SEALER.

IT IS NOT A WARE AND TEAR ISSUE. *TR
