| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2003 trail blazer check engine light was on so i took it in to see why it was on. the mechanic replaced the gas cap reset the engine light and sent me off. two days later, it came back on so i took it back. this time they replaced a solenoid and reset the check engine light. one day later it can back on. tires care plus stated to take it to the chevy dealer because they did not know what to do with it. i took it to the dealer and they stated it was a fuel filter fitting leak and that the entire gas tank and fuel hose needed to be replaced at a cost of $1000.00. i opted not to have it fixed so they sent me home with no warning or further explanation. i went home and did some research on the internet about this problem. as it turns out, there have been numerous complaints about the fuel filter filling breaking from the fuel tank. four days later, i went to fill up my car with gas and all the gas ran out of the car all over the pavement. i called the chevy dealer, stated what happened and had it repaired for $1000.00 (the entire gas tank and fuel fitting on a 2003 car!). from what research i have done, the 2002 trailblazer have been recalled but the 2003 have not and chevy has not redesigned the tank. there was a lady that had to replace her tank twice! is this not a hazard? i kept smelling gas outside my car but assumed that it was because i had overfilled the tank. *jb |
