2 YEARS AGO THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, WHEN CHECKED BY 2-3 MECHANICS THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE GAS CAP. THAT DIDN'T REMEDY THE SITUATION, THE LIGHT STAYED ON, THEN RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED DROPPING TO EMPTY AFTER A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF A TANK WAS USED. THEN FILLING THE GAS TANK CAUSED IT TO OVERFLOW IF YOU FILL IT TO FULL. AS OF TODAY THE CAR WHEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, SOMETHING CAME LOOSE INSIDE THE SHIFTER, NOW IT IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL.

02.05.2018 -- WAS AT A SUPERBOWL PARTY AND MY CAR WAS PARKED FOR 5 HOURS OUTSIDE, IT WAS ABOUT 20 DEGREES. HAD A 10 MINUTE DRIVE HOME - PARKED CAR IN GARAGE AND SHUT THE GARAGE DOOR. WHILE DRIVING, I DID USE REAR DEFROSTER AND WIPER BLADE, AS THERE WAS SNOW ON BACK WINDOW AND IT WAS SNOWING. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE,I HEARD A LOUD BLAST, LIKE SOMEONE DROVE THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. THE REAR WINDOW OF MY GMC ENVOY EXPLODED INTO MANY PIECES. GLASS WAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY GARAGE IS NOT HEATED. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT HAPPENED. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY AND AM GOING TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A GMC DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED.
