CRACK ON FILLER NECK ON LEFT FUEL TANK WHICH I BELIEVE IS A MFG DEFECT IN THE MOLDING OF THE TANK. GM IS OF THE OPINION THAT THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. I DISAGREE AS THE RIGHT TANK IS STILL PERFORMING WITHOUT PROBLEMS. VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN USED FOR COMMUTING AND NEVER ABUSED IN ITS 91,000+ MILES OF LIFE. I AM OF THE BELIEF THAT GM SHOULD REPLACE TANK UNDER THEIR 10 YEAR 120,000 MILE WARRANTY AS THE TANK IS NOT A MOVING PART. ALSO, WHEN TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL, FUEL ODOR FROM LEAK IS EXTREMELY STRONG AND POSSIBLY COMBUSTIBLE. THANK YOU. *TR

I AM GETTING THE FUEL PUMPS CHANGED AND THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM CHECKED OUT IN ORDER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL MILEAGE HAS DRAMATICALLY DECREASED REGARDLESS OF WHERE I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY.
