| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: September 2006 was told my fuel tank was leaking and it needed to be replaced. i ask them where the leak was and they told me that it was leaking at the factor seal where the gas hose connects to the fuel tank itself. due to the fact that my warranty had expired i was told i was to pay $1500.00 to replace it. i ended up taking it to an independent repair shop where they charged me $1100.00 to replace it on december 23 2006 the shop that did the repair told me that where this leak is a factory defect and, i was lucky that my van never caught fire. he told me that the area where this leak was a week point on the plastic tank and that it was never sealed right. the day they fixed my van they order a new and it too was broken in the same spot as mine was. they had to order another tank that same day. this is a big problem (plastic gas tank on my 2003 chevy venture). this matter need to be looked in to before some one else get hurt or dies because of the weak points in these plastics tanks i still have this tank and will submit pictures if you need me to so you can see where this defect is. *jb |
