Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Had fuel pump failure. when serviced, the electrical wires inside the gas tank were burned and the connector was melted inside the tank. the insulation on the gray wire was melted off and the wire was burnt. was very lucky that it did not explode. if the tank had been empty, it would have because of the presnece of oxygen in an empty tank. went to bob richards chevrolet in august,ga and they said it was not a safty issue and that they knew of the problem. had to pay $700.00 out of my pocket because of this problem that chevrolet knows about and won't recall. *ak
