| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Ses light came on. gas cap replaced. ses light came on again after fill up and 1/4 tank of gas used. clamps tightened on filler tube. ses light came on again after fill up and 1/4 tank of gas used. went to dealer, replace vent valve in filler tube on monday. tuesday morning filled up with gas. gas was leaking out on the ground and all over my feet. brought back to dealer, they said the seal on the filler pipe entering the tank had deterioated because of the chemicals in the gasoline, and that was the reason for the break. i do not believe that because the week before the repair i filled the tank & it did not leak, the day after the repair i filled the tank and discovered the hazardous leak. the dealer disclaimed all liability for the broken filler tube at the gas tank. i consider this an extreme safety hazard and the manufacturer should recall all chevrolet trail-blazers with this type of vent and filler tube problem, because when i looked at my tank there was another tank in the garbage pile with the same failure. there was no fire because i exited the site immediately to prevent a spark from igniting the spilled fuel. *jb |
