| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 chevy trailblazer ext. service engine light went on about a month ago. service at dealership said we needed a new gas cap. this did not fix the problem. light went back on, took it back this past saturday. was told gooseneck to gas tank is cracked, resulting in a fuel leak (i have an infant). was also told that the trailblazers often come in for that problem, that there was a recall. the dealership wants over $700.00 to replace the tank. we have a new baby and are down to only one household income. i called chevrolet this morning and was told that there is a recall for this exact problem but that my vin is not on their list si i must have "run something over" that cracked the gooseneck. i don't know much about cars but i know something being run over would not make it to the gooseneck. chevy admitted this defect to me- just because my vin did not make their list (allegedly) does not mean that it should not be on it. it would cost them more, in my opinion, in law suits and negative publicity if, god forbid, my family dies in an explosion because this truck blows up in the driveway than it would if they would include my vin on their list and pay for their defect. *ub |
