“Strong gasoline odor. Received a notice in 2016 regarding this. Notice said no action required if there was not gasoline smell. The odor was noticed about a month ago. Called the dealer that sent the notice who told me it expired! They never said the repair would expire, but to ignore it unless I smelled gasoline. So now gasoline fumes are not dangerous??”
NHTSA complaint #11092869, filed 2018-05, 230,000 miles“We have a 2002 Gmc Envoy with approx 77,000 miles, the truck has strong scent of fuel in the garage and out doors. I understand that the fuel pump module corrodes and is common problem on these vehicles. I believe that GM should cover this under recall could have serious fire. I believe it is an engineering defect.”

Performed a walk around inspection and found no visible signs of fuel leakage. Opened the hood and had no visible signs of leakage. Envoy is hard to start but once started continues to run with no issues. Gasoline fumes are evident in the cab while parked but disperse when moving down the road. Upon stopping in traffic, fumes immediately become very strong in the cab. Researching on line similar situations, it appears that there is a problem on top of the gas tank. …”
