What owners wrote
Fuel tank has leak at joint where filler pipe and tank join allowing fuel and vapors to escape. Smelled fuel inside the garage. The dealer service manager said that the weld had failed, that it is a manufacturing defect, and that they had replaced the fuel tank for 2 other envoys for the same failure. There was no prior repair on the fuel tank or removal of the fuel tank.
The GMC envoy xlt experiences a total loss of power under the following conditions. When the fuel tank is at or below a quarter tank of gas the vehicle's gas pedal becomes inoperable and the forward velocity is lost to the point that if you are in traffic the vehicle will immediately began to slow down resulting in a completely hazardous and unsafe situation where the driver has no choice but to pull off the road or be rear ended. This has occurred on several occasions only under the conditions described above.
