What owners report
IVE NOTICE MY FRONT HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE FOR ME TO SEE AT NIGHT. I DON'T SEE WHATS IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING AT THE LAST MINUTE,ANYTIME AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING I DON'T SEE TURNS, OBJECTS AND OTHER THINGS TILL THE LAST SECOND. I HAVEN'T HAD A ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY.I FEEL GMC IS LIABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM,I FEEL THE GMC ENVOY WAS MADE A LEMON AND THE WHOLE SUV SHOULD OF BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE US ENVOY OWNERS ARE STIL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM CERTAIN ENVOY ONLY HAD AS GMC CLAIMS ONLY ENVOY WITH THIS VIN NUMBER OR THE YEAR IT WAS MANUFACTURER IN OR STATE .ALL 2002 GMC ENVOYS XL 4X4 NEED TO BE REINVESTIGATE AGAIN UNDER THE LEMON LAW ACT

VEHICLE HAS A INLET FUEL LEAK, A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE GMC ENVOY XL 4X4, BUT HAS PUT A 150,000 MILE CAP ON THE RECALL WHICH I FIND NEGLIGENT AS THE ISSUE STILL EXIST REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE, JUST SEEMS LIKE A WAY TO WORM OUT OF RESPONSIBILITY.
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALL DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES JUST STOP WORKING. THEY WILL COME BACK ON BUT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO MY HEADLIGHTS GO ON AND OFF I HAVE CHANGED OUT THE BULBS THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND NO ITS NOT. ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING AT 530AM THEY STOPPED AND HAVE NOT TURNED BACK ON CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER AND NOW MISSING WORK TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JUNE AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS IT'S GETTING WORSE. I CAN'T DRIVE 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVE MY HEADLIGHTS JUST STOP WORKING. I ALSO SMELL GASOLINE INSIDE MY VEHICLE FREQUENTLY.
