Consumer Description

I TOOK VEHICLE TO GMC DEALER FOR AN UNRELATED GM SPECIAL SERVICE PROGRAM AND UPON REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK, THEY FOUND EXTENSIVE RUST-THROUGH ADJACENT TO WHERE THE TANK MOUNTS TO THE FRAME. THEY SAID THE "VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN" YET IT HAS ONLY 100,000 MILES AND ITS EXTERIOR APPEARS ALMOST LIKE-NEW. DEALER FEELS THE DESIGN OF THE TANK BEING MOUNTED AGAINST THE FRAME CAUSED ROAD SALT, ETC TO GET TRAPPED WHERE IT CANNOT BE CLEANED OUT BY UNDERCARRIAGE CAR WASHES. I RECENTLY CONTACTED GMC BUT MY COMPLAINT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED TO MY SATISFACTION. I SUSPECT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ENVOY/TRAILBLAZER (XL) MODELS STILL ON THE ROAD WITH THIS HIDDEN "CANCER".
