“I was doing a rear brake job and smelled gasoline, so I went under the vehicle and observed there was a wet spot on the rear of the fuel tank. Upon closer examination I found the inlet part of the fuel tank was broken and allowing fuel to exit the tank, can we say fire risk, so I went online to try to purchase a replacement tank and I found where several people had had this sameproblem, but no recall is in place ?????”

NHTSA complaint #10953971, filed 2017-02, 159,000 miles

“About 9-10 months ago started noticing a fuel smell around back of truck. Replaced gas cap, but the odor continued. Inquired at local dealer, but was told they could not determine the cause. Tried a local mechanic that I had used before, but at that time, they claimed they found no cause either. On my third trip to local mechanic, was informed that there is a crack in my filler/gas tank causing the smell. …”

“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. …”
