IN 2018 WE WERE HAVING A FUEL PRESSURE ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ICV HAD CRACKED AROUND THE GAS TANK. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I FOUND THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE AND CALLED THE NEAREST CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COVERAGE HAD EXPIRED A MONTH EARLIER AND THEY WOULDN'T HONOR THE COVERAGE BUT IF WE WANTED THE CAR FIXED IT WOULD BE OVER$1000. WE'RE NOT THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND IM SURE THAT'S WHY I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. CONSIDERING THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK AND I HAVE CHILDREN IN MY CAR, I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE EXPIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE. PEOPLE BUY USED CARS ALL THE TIME AND IF THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CATCH IT BEFORE SELLING THE CAR IT'S UNFAIR TO PUT THE EXPENSE ON THE NEW OWNER WHEN IT'S A DEFECT CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S CHOICE IN UNRELIABLE PARTS. *TR

TRAILBLAZER FUEL SYSTEM

FUEL TANK HAS TINY CRACK AT THE WHERE THE TANK IS WELDED TOGETHER AND GASONILNE AND OR GASOLINE VAPORS LEAK OUT CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. GM HAS ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY FOR VEHICLES THAT HAVE UP TO150,000 MILES OR 15YRS OLD WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. VEHICLE HAS 160,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD ACTUALLY BE A RECALL SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING MILLIONS OF VEHICLES

CODE 440, SMELL OF GAS ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FROM THE GAS TANK AREA. REPLACED GAS CAP & PURGE VALVE. SMELL CONTINUES. NOT SURE WHAT IS FACTOR FOR THE SMELL, YET IT HAS GOTTEN STRONGER. A FEW TIMES I HAVE SMELLED THE GAS WHILE DRIVING,, THO, MOST TIMES IT IS UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE IT IS MOST NOTABLE.

FUEL LEAKAGE FROM FUEL TANK. VERY NOTICEABLE AFTER FUELING UP, AND WHEN IT'S WARM OUTSIDE. FUEL SMELL AND VISIBLE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE FUEL TANK. VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE, AND GM IS UNWILLING TO COVER THE COST FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANKS. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM AND IT'S DEALERSHIPS TRY TO PASS THE BILL FOR REPAIR ONTO THE CONSUMER.

GAS TANK IS LEAKING .I GET A LETTER FROM GENERAL MOTOR ABOUT THAT PROBLEM I TOOK THE TRUCK TO CRYSTAL CHEVROLET THE MANAGER TOLD HE WOULD NOT WORK ON MY TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2015 I RECEIVED A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" DISPLAY. I TOOK THE SUV TO A SERVICE CENTER WHO INFORMED ME MY FUEL TANK WAS CRACKED & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ORDERED A NEW TANK BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN THE PART. WHILE RESEARCHING THE SITUATION, I FOUND RECORD OF AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION (ACTION # PE07014) CONDUCTED IN 2007 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, INVOLVING THE SAME MAKE, MODEL & YEAR AS MY VEHICLE IN WHICH GM WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND LETTERS TO OWNERS & REPAIR THE FUEL TANKS FREE OF CHARGE. I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION AND REACHED OUT TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIND OUT WHY, FILE A REPORT AND EXPRESSING MY GRAVE CONCERNS REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUES OF DRIVING A VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. OVER THE COURSE OF APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS OF COMMUNICATION, I WAS ADVISED MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE ACTION THEREFORE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE NOTIFIED ME, IT WAS PAST THE MILEAGE WARRANTY & THEY WON'T EXTEND IT, THE PART IS ON BACKORDER AND THE SOONEST IT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE IS MAY, THEY WON'T PROVIDE A TEMPORARY REPAIR OR LOANER VEHICLE, THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER THEY CAN DO AND THEY'RE CLOSING THE FILE ON MY COMPLAINT. THEY WERE HOWEVER, WILLING TO OFFER A POTENTIAL DISCOUNT ON A NEW VEHICLE. I ADVISED THEM I WAS NOT IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND THAT WASN'T AN APPROPRIATE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.
