This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2003 GMC Envoy. The contact stated while driving at unknown speeds, the driver and passenger doors independently flew open. The contact was holding onto the door while driving until she was able to bring the vehicle to a stop. The dealer advised having a diagnostic performed on the vehicle to determine the cause of failure. In addition, when filling the fuel tank, the gasoline would spew back out of the filler tune and onto the contact. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 180,000.
A cracking has occurred where the gasoline filler tube connects to the tank. That caused a vacuum leak, which caused the service engine soon light to illuminate. Dealership has diagnosed, and confirmed cracking and advised gasoline leaking could occur and recommends replacing tank. 1.vacuum leak renders gasoline tank emissions system inefficient. 2. if gasoline leak occurs, it is then a fire hazard. The dealership communicated to us, he has seen similar failures in that vehicle model (GMC Envoy).
: the contact stated while pumping fuel into the tank, gasoline was noticed dripping under the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who determined there was a crack at the base of the filler pipe and the tank needed to be replaced.
