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…

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

WHEN THE CAR HAS OVER 1/2 A TANK OF GAS IN IT GAS VAPORS BEGIN TO FILL THE CABIN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SMELL IS SO POWERFUL I HAVE TO LET THE CAR AIR OUT FOR A MINUTE BEFORE I CAN OPERATE IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT WAIT FOR A RECALL TO FIX THIS SO I AM SENDING IT TO MY MECHANIC. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS GETS ADDRESSED…
