| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have an 2001 s-10 extended cab 4x4 truck. i have had to have this truck towed 4 times & 4 or 5 fuel pumps put in also a wire that goes to fuel pump & a new gas cap also. i bought this truck in june of 06 & drove it 3 days before the first break down. it was down for 2 months. the place of purchase led me to believe that the truck was in perfect condition with no problems or any wrecks. when the truck was towed to a chevy dealership for repair it cost over 500$ just in labor alone not to mention the cost of the fuel pumps & full diagnostics. i am still having problems with the gas tank. when i fill the truck up it runs out the top of the tank itself under the bed of my truck . isn't this a danger to my safety ? the chevy dealership doesn't want to stand by their work now so i'm stuck with a deadly vehicle. i plan to file any complaint i can & if possible i will get it on the news as well. within a few hours of my buying this junk the auto dealer where i bought it sold my contract to a finance company so now the dealer is not responsible for the things that were & are bad. the truck bed only had 1 bolt holding the whole bed on & the gas tank only had 1 strap on 1 side holding the gas tank up... the finance company won't help with this problem either. i have been researching this type of truck & have found that way to many people have the same problems as i do when it comes to the gas tank & fuel pump. shouldn't someone be held liable for this problem ? would the makers of the s-10 truck allow their kids or family to ride in a truck that could possibly one day cause their death ? when a gas tank leaks fuel from the tank under the truck what would happen if at a stop light someone throws a cigarette out & it hits the gas that's leaked out ? my opinion the truck would blow up. if there is anyone who can tell me where to complain i'd be ever so grateful for that info. cathy in ky. *nm |
