Consumer Description

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT AND JUST LIKE THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS MINE HAS A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK FILLER ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. IT'S A KNOWN BAD PART FEOM THE FACTORY. MINE HAS HAD A HOLE FOR A WHILE NOW. IT CAN LITERALLY LEAK OVER 10 GALLONS OF GAS A DAY IF YOU FILL THE TANK TO FULL. EVEN IF YOU DON'T THE SMELL OF GAS IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF IT. IT RUNS LIKE CRAP BECAUSE OF IT. WHAT'S MORE DANGEROUS THAN SPILLING GAS EVERYWHERE YOU GO!? SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD CHEVY PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON THERE 2004 TRAILBLAZER. LOOK IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR VIN# IS OR HOW MANY MILES AT THIS POINT (I JUST HIT 150,000) THE GAS TANKS ON THESE VEHICLES ARE FAULTY, THEY'RE DANGEROUS, THEY'RE EXSPENSIVE. I SURELY DONT HAVE $800-$1500 LAYING AROUND TO FIX A PART THAT IS KNOWN AND PROVEN TO BE BAD. WE ALL KNOW TBEY ARE BAD, CHEVROLET KNOWS IT, THE NHTSA KNOWS IT. THE KICKER IS YOU CANT EVEN FIND USED GAS TANKS FOR THESE THINGS TO SAVE MONEY. EVERY SINGLE ONE IS JUNK OR ALREADY REPLACED ONE THAT WAS JUNK. IT IS COMPLETELY CRAZY THAT THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WHERE NEVER PROBABLY TAKEN CARE OF IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANKS
