NHTSA Complaint #10499831 — 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

I FEEL THAT I'M BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY, BECAUSE OF A SYSTEM CREATED BY GM,TO DETERMINE WHICH MODEL TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES ARE ARE SELECTED FOR RECALL REPAIR WITH SAFETY RELATED PROBLEMS. EVEN IF THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME, IN MY CASE. IE: A FAULTY FUEL TANK, THAT LEAKS FUEL. TODAY I HAD MY TANK TESTED BY A CHEVY DEALER, WHO TOLD ME I HAD A CRACKED TANK, WHERE THE FUEL TANK FILLER-NECK CONNECTS TO THE TANK. HE SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, BECAUSE MY MODEL WAS NOT A TRAILBLAZER EXT. MY MODEL IS TRAILBLAZER LS. BUT IT HAS THE SAME UNSAFE LEAK, FROM THE SAME LOCATION, AS THE EXT MODEL. MY MILEAGE, AND YEAR FIT THE RECALL,AND SO DOES THE PROBLEM. SO! WHY NOT THE FIX? THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME $1700 TO REPAIR. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SAME UNSAFE PROBLEM, THAT OTHERS ARE NOT? I CAN SHOW YOU PHOTOS OF 3 DIFFERENT TRAILBLAZER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AND YOU COULD NOT PICK OUT WHICH ONE WAS MINE. SO WHY ARE THEY ONLY FIXING ONE MODEL..ALSO I'M STARTING TO GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPING ON AND OFF. THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE CONNECTED TO THE FUEL TANK LEAK. SO NOW, WHEN I GO TO EMISSIONS TESTING I'M GOING TO FAIL. MAKING ME RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS, THAT ARE CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. *TR
