Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2002 GMC Envoy

The contact owns a 2002 GMC Envoy. While driving the vehicle to the dealer at 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to coast the vehicle off the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump failed. The fuel pump was repaired and the contact was advised not to fill the tank above half. When the contact placed fuel in the vehicle, it leaked onto the ground. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 141,000.

I smelled a strong odor of gasoline while the vehicle was parked outside my residence. Performed a walk around inspection and found no visible signs of fuel leakage. Opened the hood and had no visible signs of leakage. Envoy is hard to start but once started continues to run with no issues. Gasoline fumes are evident in the cab while parked but disperse when moving down the road. Upon stopping in traffic, fumes immediately become very strong in the cab. Researching on line similar situations, it appears that there is a problem on top of the gas tank. Checked under the Envoy and noticed some minor streaking on the tank. I have stopped driving the vehicle until I can get the vehicle repaired. Assuming it is the same fuel pump erosion issue, the estimated cost to repair is between $650 and $900.

I could smell gas and my son a mechanic looked at it and said it is leaking on the two lines that come out the top of the fuel pump.

The contact owns a 2002 GMC Envoy. The contact was driving approximately 10 mph when fuel began to spray out of the fuel tank and onto the ground. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the fuel pump module retainer would need to be replaced. There was a recall associated with the failure under NHTSA campaign id number 02v121000 (fuel system, gasoline: delivery: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The contact's VIN was included in the recall however, the contact was advised that the recall was expired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I started to smell a "gas like" smell in my garage and when parked outside. I took vehicle to local repair shop and was told that I had to replace the fuel pump because it was all rusted and it was causing a fuel leak.

The fuel pump module on the vehicle began leaking. This leak ultimately lead to gasoline pouring all over the road. One quarter of a tank of fuel spilled from the tank in approximately one quarter mile. There easily could have been a fire. I ended up walking home.

2002 GMC Envoy began to emit overwhelming odors. The interior of the car and exterior of the car smells strongly of leaking fuel. The vehicle must be parked in my driveway to prevent vapors from accumulating in my garage and seeping into my home. The leaking odors into the garage and house have caused me to have severe headaches. The captured vapors in my garage presented a severe fire hazard. I took my vehicle to a local mechanic who reported to me that the fuel pump assembly on top of the fuel tank was leaking due to corrosion on several of the tubes that transport fuel. He stated this is avery common problem on the GMC Envoys and that he has repaired many of them for the same problem.
