What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 GMC envoy. While idling at a traffic light, the contacts vehicle was rear ended. The dealer stated that the gas tank was cracked on the vehicle. A geico representative assessed the damage and stated that the cracked gas tank was the result of safety recall # 02v121000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The rear bumper and hitch were damaged due to the crash. A police report was filed. The purchase date was unknown.
Fuel leak coming from top of gas tank. I suspect it is the fuel pump module. Severe rust and limited visibility prevented me from identifying 100 percent. Talked to GM, they know of the problem but since it happened 14,000 miles beyond their extended special warranty for this, they will do nothing. Bad design is a bad design regardless of miles or years. Very dangerous having a leak this bad. Will fix myself when I come up with the money.
