Description of the problem | Continuous gas smell in and around automobile when starting the engine. Engine light came on in jan 2013 although the smell has been present for many years. Took auto to repair shop and discovered that their was a sizeable crack at the opening of the gas tank. Around 1,500 dollars later a new gas tank, new fuel pump assembly, i find it hard to believe there is no recall on this part from gm, especially since searching the internet and discovering how many have reported this same exact issue and the scary thought that the car could have blown up and any time. A class action suit needs to be filed against gm. |
