Consumer Description

PLASTIC WELD CONNECTING FUEL FILL PIPE TO FUEL TANK HAS CRACKED.CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE & WAS INFORMED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD JUST MISSED THE CAMPAIGN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY ONE MONTH. WHY IS THIS CAMPAIGN (07099) A LIMITED TSB & NOT A SAFETY RECALL? VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS INSPECTION. TECHNICIAN REPAIRED LEAK WITH EPOXY THAT SEALED LONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT VAPOR LEAKAGE TO PASS EMISSION TEST.NOW THAT HAS FAILED AND ONCE AGAIN VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS. MORE IMPORTANTLY THE FUEL VAPORS EMITTING FROM VEHICLE MAKE IT UNSAFE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO PARK IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.THIS IS NOT DUE TO A WORN PART OR CORROSION,THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN THAT EVENTUALLY WILL CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.WORSE YET GM OFFERS NO DISCOUNT ON THIS VERY EXPENSIVE TANK ASSEMBLY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.I CAN NOT THINK OF A MORE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAS BEEN SO IGNORED.PERHAPS WHEN THE FIRES START THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CONGRESSIONAL HEARING ABOUT GM'S ABILITY TO RESPOND TO SUCH A SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY LOSS OF LIFE HAZARD THAT THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST OWNERS IN CORRECTING. *TR
