| A year after the purchase of my new 2004 gmc envoy xuv my service engine light came on and an authorized service tech said i needed a new gas cap because of a small vapor leak. i bought the new cap and a few months later the engine light came on and again i bought another cap. from then i had been told by different mechanics that the vapor leak is coming from the nozzle the cap attaches to but today for the first time i was told i would fail my smog check because the vapor leak according to their diagnostics was not coming from the nozzle, but somewhere else near the tank. after research on recalls and complaints, i found out that my problem was similar to other complaints, that being the gm service bulletin 05-06-04-014a: info - diagnostic aids for trouble codes p0440, p0455 & / or p0442 fuel was leaking from the crack, and that the 2002 - 2004 envoy may have issues with a crack in the gas tank filler neck as well. i checked out the assembly system and yep my filler tank connection from hose to tank is loose and showing evidence of gas leaking down the tank. it wasn't a small vapor leak, it is a mushroom cloud event just waiting to happen to my backside! the interesting part of this disaster is that they did this as far back as i could search, so far as early as 2001. gm had advised their mechanics that the problem was resolved and redesign of the system was in place with welded units attaching the components, rather than rubber booting to plastic tanks. i have the internal memo of their declarations for three years so far. today, i'm in possession of a loaded bomb and see that tsb's are issued for years through 2009. plus theres a discrepancy with service warranties of 10 years or 120,000 miles vs 150,000, i have those internal documents from gm to the dealers as well. i cant afford this. other envoy owners i've talked to are saying the same things exactly. | |||

| I had a 2004 gmc envoy xuv and had several things going wrong. the speedometer was radical, some days it would work and other days not. the back window of the vehicle would be down for no reason at all when i was not even in or near the car. the engine light would come on and go off. like a fool i just purchased a used 2004 gmc envoy xuv, only owned it 2 days and smelled gas. looked under the vehicle and the entire rear of the underside of it was covered in gasoline. there was a small puddle on the garage floor. took the vehicle back to the dealer and they took out the gas tank and there is a leak in the filler neck. still waiting to get the car back, can't find parts. this will be my last envoy. | |||

| I purchased a 2004 gmc envoy xuv and have several significant problems with this vehicle. after researching it seem others have had the same troubles. since we owned the vehicle, the rear window is found down and noone was even in/near the vehicle. it continues to work but still will go down by itself. a year ago i had to replace the fuel tank, this was right after we took it in for inspection on a recall of smelling gas fumes while drving and possible corrosion in fuel lines. of course the fuel lines were not corroded so we were told. i footed the bill $800+ to get a new fuel tank ,as neck on tank was cracked and was told that this is why we smelled gas. luckily, i went to my garage and saved several hunderd dollars from the dealers cost to repair. last weekend 9/10/10 my family was driving to town and the middle window unexpectedly dropped and now does not work. i researched an it seems to be a regulator issue and will cost around $500, wow! over the last two weeks there is a rattle when we turn on our ac. again after we were in for service as we had the ac charged at the start of summer. i can see where i have the same troubles as a lot of others and feel, the same as they do, left holding the bag by gmc and no way out but, to look for a new/used vehicle and get rid of this vehicle. | |||

| I have a 2004 suv xlt. i bought my car with 400 miles on it. i had the gas tank replaced early on. went back to gmc b/c they had not installed it properly. i've had both front and rear sway bars replaced and both knock sensors replaced. my middle window decided to quit working and i haven't gotten it fixed because the guys at the gmc service center said they couldn't imagine what it could be and they would have to charge me $100 for a diagnosis!! my radio/cd player is only half lit up and stops working when it gets too hot from playing a cd... i am currently having issues with the fan clutch, thermostat and a leak in my front differential. meanwhile the guys at the dealership wanted to charge me $1,500 to replace my knock sensors again and didn't even find the leak when they were diagnosing my issue. i truly do love my car, but i am super mad about the middle window and super mad about all of these issues. i take care of my car and do all of the routine maintenances. i think i know why it was only on the market for two years. please help us get our middle windows fixed. i didn't do anything to cause it to stop working. | |||

| Smell of gas inside of vehicle, check engine light on and notice of gas on garage floor. took vehicle to a mechanic and found out that the gas tank was leaking around the neck of the tank where the refill hose connects. found out that chevrolet and gmc had a special coverage adjustment # 07099a on this problem. i took my vehicle to the dealer and i was told that my vehicle is not covered on this sca because of the vin number. i called gmc customer service on recalls and i was told the same thing. the dealer agreed to pay 2/3's of the bill and i will have to pay 1/3 of it. on the sca sheet it list the following for my vehicle. the last 8 digits of the vin starting with 46100001 to 46116824. my vehicle is leaking so badly that i can smell gas inside of the vehicle all the time. it is very dangerous to drive. also i park my vehicle in my garage all the time and this is dangerous. i think that all of the 2002 to 2004 chevrolet trail blazers and gmc envoys will have this problem with the leaking gas tanks. the problem is with the design of the tank. i was told by the service tech at the dealer that they use to have a lot of problems with the gas tanks. he said that since they have changed the tanks out on the covered vehicles that they have had none of the vehicles back in with leaking gas tanks. this is a big safety issue that needs to be corrected. some people would not notice this problem and if they have an accident this could cause more injuries and possible deaths. this could also cause an explosion around sparks or static in someone's garage. *tr | |||

| Speedometer failed at 44,000 miles. gas gauge misreads. instrument cluster is being replace by gmc on other models with the same cluster but they decided not to replace the envoys cluster. gmc knows that they have clusters that fail and have even been monetary reimbursement by other companies to replace but still do not replace for the envoys. *tr | |||
