I have a 2004 GMC Envoy xuv and when the oil was just recently changed the mechanic noticed that the gas tank was leaking at the point where the filler met the main body of the tank. He said since the tank was plastic the gas was causing the deterioration and the entire tank would cause a major issue. After checking with our local GMC dealer I discovered that the vehicle is just out of the 3 yr warranty period and since it was purchased in Arizona and not California it is not covered under the extended GMC warranty. This should not be part of a replacement plan the consumer should be paying for, not like a regular maintenance item (changing tires, oil changes, spark plugs, etc.) cutting corners to make the vehicle lighter and then not supporting the change is not the best way to be popular.

Check engine light on and taken to advance auto parts was told that there was a small leak. They advised that hoses are to be checked. Hoses were checked and check engine light remained on. Taken to the dealer and found out that there is a leak in the fuel tank. Was told that this was not a recall item. But this is a very dangerous defect. Now waiting for part to be replaced.

Vehicle's "check engine" light came on 2 days prior to failing a vehicle emissions test for fuel tank leak. Dealer stated that there was a "special policy" in place as the manufacturer recognized this same defect on other vehicles. The VIN number was not included in the "special policy" but was the same defect. The dealer is advising not to continue to drive the vehicle until repaired. The dealer opinion is that due the "special policy" there are no fuel tanks available so the vehicle ia located at the dealer until repaired. Old part can be made available.
