Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 gmc envoy. i am the original owner. the service engine light came on so we visited the local dealership to find out what was wrong. upon testing the vehicle there was a crack found at the stem of the fuel tank. it had been leaking fuel and loosing pressure causing the light to illuminate. the repair bill is around $1400 for a safety hazard that was no fault of mine. the service manager said that it was a bad design due to epa regulations on venting the cap and that he had seen many of these. i contacted gm and they were not willing to help. they offered a discount on a new or used car. there is no current recall but the more i look into this, there have been many issues of this happening. this problem could kill many people. *jb |
