Consumer Description

CONSUMER' S GAS TANK IS ON STRAPS. WHEN STOPPING THERE IS A 2 SECOND DELAY, THEN THERE IS A RUMBLING NOISE WHERE AS THE GAS GUSHES TO THE BACK OF TANK, CAUSING THE TANK TO MOVE AGAINST THE CHASSIS. THE DEALER INSTALLED RUBBER BUSHINGS BETWEEN TANK AND CHASSIS TO MINIMIZE SOUNDS. VEHICLE WILL DO THIS EVERY TIME UNLESS THE TANK IS FULL OR LOW. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT LEAST NINE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, CHEVROLET ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, AND SAYS THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BEEN REPLACED. ALSO, THE WINDOW FELL OUT FROM THE SLIDING DOOR BECAUSE THE LATCH WAS INSTALLED UP SIDE DOWN/THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED DUE TO LOUD WHISTLING WHENEVER DRIVING MORE THAN 50MPH. (DIMMITT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP-813-791-1818). *AK
