I have the same issues (except the fuel tank leak)
My cluster half works, my a/c & heat doesnt work anymore..my head lights just shut off while im driving at night, my left side passenger door just opens while Im driving (my 13 yr almost went out the door going around a turn THANK GOD HE WAS WEARING HIS BELT! The door doesnt close anymore, only when I am driving will it close. (its strapped closed with a bungee strap) The Beeping inside never stops, and my seat & RV mirrors move on their own while Im driving! My mechanic told me these issue are very common with the ENVOY, and they werent on the recall list.

Im reading through some off these postings and am kinda disappointed. I have always been a fan of GM/GMC but the longer I have my truck, which I've had for 2 years, the more disappointed I become. It started with the a/c problem. Had it charged and nothing so I took it into a mechanic. The wiring harness to the A/C had melted! Really?! That's just delightful since this is my "family" car. Next came the gas guage. Its been malfunctioning for the last year and they want to pay for half of the cost? Its obviously a defect in the part, not a wear and tear problem. Of course, I guess it couldve worn out when the heat exposure from the harness melted. Eh, who knows. Im excited that GMC finally acknowledged the problem, but disappointed they want to "half" pay for it.

I have a 2007 Envoy and had the same problem, luckily it died in the driveway.
Dealer called and said it was the window switch which is actually a programmable module. For some reason the fuse didn't just disable the window. I lost all power to the vehicle, the whole inside smelled like burnt wires. Should be covered by the $1,700 extra warrantee. Waiting for the dealer to confirm.

I got the car back, they said that the window module melted. The car stinks terribly still but the two issues are: from a design point a window module failure should have either blown a fuse or tripped a fault code that would shut down and isolate the module and not shut off the engine's computer and leave the person stranded and result in a towing charge!!
The second issue that I have to fight is that the extended warrentee covered the part and labor but the $47 labor to program the module wasn't covered. Well if the new part isn't going to work without the program then I don't have a repaired car now do I? That 10 second download should have been covered or not charged since they need to do it and they don't buy the program!
