| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Hello, my vehicle is a 2002 chevrolet blazer, that i leased then bought. i am the only owner. on 10-13-06, i smelled gas when i walked up to the vehicle to get in. i took the blazer into mike shaw (gm dealer) at 1080 s. colorado blvd. denver, colorado 80246 to be checked. mike shaw found that one of the fuel lines coming out of the fuel pump was leaking gas. mike shaw's service adviser (calvin scott) told me that they thought a rock hit the fuel line. the service technician (michael j. tymitz) doing the work on the blazer showed me the leak before any repairs were made. the complete fuel pump needed to be replaced at the cost was $890.51. i asked mike shaw if gm would pay for the repair and they told me no. the vehicle is out of the factory warrant time wise, but only has 31,900 miles on it. i called gm myself and told them what happened and gm paid for the labor $437.88 part of the repair. at gm i talked to amanda markham, (service request number is 1-4384 25465). chevrolet division, gm corporation, p.o.box 33170, detroit, mi. 48232-5170. telephone number is 866-790-5600 x 11634. it seems to me if the fuel lines can be hit by rocks that a shield should be put around the fuel lines by the fuel pump. i my self, do not know if a rock hit the line or not. i would be more inclined to think if was a defected part. i know i am still out $452.63 for this repair. the possibility of a recall for this does need to be investigated. this could have been a big danger. note: i do have the old fuel pump if you need to check it. thanks. robert lindsay. *nm |
