NHTSA Complaint #10485334 — 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

THE VEHICLE HAD A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE SUV AND ALSO OUTSIDE AND WHEN I STOPPED ON ROAD FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF IT AND I GOT SO FRIGHTENED THAT IT WOULD CATCH FIRE. MY FUEL TANK GUAGE WENT FROM A FULL TANK TO LESS THAN A HALF TANK OF GAS IN A MATTER OF MINUTES AND THE SUV WAS SLUGGISH AND FELT WEIRD. I TOOK THE SUV IMMEDIATELY TO MY CAR REPAIR PLACE AND THEY DISMANTLED THE GAS TANK AND FOUND THE FUEL MODULE TO HAVE A HOLE IN IT AND IS CORRODED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE IS A NHTSA ACTION NUMBER OF PE07013 ON IT AND I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND I AM VERY UPSET AS THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME CLOSE TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND I AM A DISABLED AMERICAN VETERAN AND THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO COME UP WITH. ALSO THE SUV WAS VERY UNSAFE AND IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT I AM SURE IT WOULD HAVE WENT UP IN FLAMES. MY SUV IS AT LEVINES AUTO REPAIR GARAGE IN NEW WINDSOR NY 12553 AND THEIR NUMBER IS 845-219-5508 . I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AS TO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU.
