Consumer Description
Our local Chevrolet dealer service department has found the fuel pump housing to be cracked causing fuel vapors to leak out the fuel pump/tank. These vapors have found their way into the cabin of the car effecting the air quality. This issue also has the potential for the vapors and spray in some cases to settle around hot exhaust. Chevrolet notified a number of of owners with notification letters regarding a fix for this condition, however I was never notified by any such campaign notice/letter. I'm compelled to write this grievance as I will have to pay out of pocket thousands of dollars to correct a defect the manufacturer has allowed to go on. Thank you!
