2002 GMC Envoy - continue to experience fuel smell condition. Had vehicle serviced in 2009 for this issue. Dealer repaired per recall, never notified of this issue, a fuel filler neck issue that allowed vapors to escape. Problem has resurfaced and it is suspect that issue is fuel tank related. Issue is difficult to identify without sizable expense. Not sure now is issue is repeat of repaired condition or fuel tank problem. This is a serious issue with warning about fuel vapors and concern about fire and explosions in around gas stations yet this know condition is allowed to exist on these gm vehicles without a safety recall.

Strong fuel smell in my driveway, car leaking gas around the tank area.
The contact owns a 2002 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that she could smell gasoline in her vehicle; however, when the passenger inspected the vehicle there was no evidence of fuel. She took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that the fuel tank and sensor needed to be replaced as there was corrosion on the fuel tank assembly.

She called the manufacturer and was told that they could not assist her. The vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage was 128,214. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.

In late 2007, my wife began smelling a strong odor of gasoline coming from in and around our 2002 GMC Envoy xl. The odor is present whether the tank is full or near empty.
I have a 2002 GMC Envoy that is apparently experiencing a fuel vapor leak. I took it ot the dealer (franklin GMC, TN) and he said it was a known problem; however, GMC has not initiated a recall process. He told me I could either wait for a possible recall or pay $900 to have the entire fuel tank replaced. I asked him if he felt any repsonsibility for notifying me of the known problem and not remedying the solution and he said it would have to be approved by GMC. Obviously GMC has taken the position that they would rather pay lawsuits instead of correcting the problem. Sad!.
While filling my 2002 GMC Envoy, I observed gas pouring out of the top of the tank down over the rear axle and near the tailpipe. I noticed this because the gas pump did not shut off at the appropriate level. I called GMC and reported it. They were at first reluctant to give me the agency I could report this too but after speaking to a supervisor they finally told me I could report the possible defect to the NHTSA.

Crack in gas tank on GMC Envoy that was four months old.
Gas gauge was 1/4 tank off, returned to dealer to fix problem after running out of gas. Dealer replaced float/sender. Returned to dealer one hour later after attempting to fill tank with fuel and fuel poured out of top of tank. Dealer then claimed the fuel tank was defective and distorted by the factory, ordered new tank, replaced same. All is working now.
The electrical computer memory for the exterior mirrors and the seat adjuster failed. This caused the seats for driver and passenger side not to be adjusted. Also the mirrors are not able to be adjusted. Driver has to continously adjust the miirrors in order to see. Dealer reset memory seats, reprogrammed mirror memory, and replaced left and right front seat modules. Did not remedy problem. Customer states that there is a fuel leak loss of 1/2 tank in 3 miles. Dealer repaired loose connection between main fuel line and the fuel tank.
When attempting to fill the fuel tank, gasoline will spill out the top of the tank (not the filler hose) and onto the ground. Rather than return up the hose and indicate to the pump that the tank is full, the gasoline goes everywhere. If you just add gas but do not fill the tank, this does not happen.
While waiting at a stop light fuel tank lost all it's fuel due to a hose separating from the tank.
A valve in the gas tank came loose causing a leak which activated the check engine light. Gas tank was replaced.
