Gasoline Fuel System problem #1

Strong gasoline fumes leaking into the vehicles passenger's interior of a 2008 Yukon xl denali. It occurs intermittently, but is an overpowering odor causing nausea and dizziness, and partial blackouts of driver and passengers. No problems evident.

Gasoline Fuel System problem #2

Purchased a used 2008 GMC Yukon Jan. 23, 2010 and approximately 4 months later the first issue occurred with the car not starting in my driveway. I thought it was user error. A few months later coming out of the grocery store went to enter my vehicle and no start, went under the hood and moved the battery cable and it started. Later that night I tried to tighten the battery cable, but it wasn't loose. Approximately 1 month later while driving, the dash flickered and "stability traction" light illuminated with slight loss of power. Got to destination exited vehicle and upon return vehicle would not start until I once again moved battery cable around. The last incident which occurred on August 30, 2010 while driving approx. 15 mph through a residential neighborhood, engine just cut off. Wrestled car to side, put in park and restarted. This was the scariest incident because someone could have rear ended me. I took vehicle to shop GMC dealer and they found nothing wrong. 23,000 miles on vehicle now. Purchased with 17,500.

Gasoline Fuel System problem #3

2008 GMC Yukon xl . Noticed smoke coming from air vents and smelling hot. Then few days past, while driving down interstate engine shuts off we pull over to side. Waited 15 minutes then started. Drove another 10 or 15 miles shuts off again wait 10 15 minutes finally make it home . We try to start engine after two day pass . The engine will turn over and try to start but will not. Called a dealer, had it towed up to them ,they decide it is the fuel control module . I have looked for a recall for this but on a 2008 I could not find one but on the 2009 I did find one for the same problem I am describing.
