“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE GEAR LEVER WOULD NOT SECURE INTO PARK UNTIL AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TIGHTENED THE SHIFT CABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE ADDITIONAL DEFECTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.”

“VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL! THE WHOLE GARAGE AND ENTRANCE TO MY KITCHEN STRONGLY SMELLED OF GASOLINE ONE MORNING WHEN I WENT OUT TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY AND THE STEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK HAD BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE TANK AND THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND SEALS WERE LEAKING, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT GM HAD A RECALL ON FOR THE TRAILBLAZER EXT. I NOTIFIED GM ABOUT THE ISSUE ASKING FOR ANY HELP AT ALL WITH THE SITUATION, BUT SINCE MY TRAILBLAZER WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. IT IS A SAD DAY WHEN PEOPLES LIVES ARE BEING THREATENED BY POORLY DESIGNED VEHICLES ALL IN THE NAME OF MAKING A BUCK. YOU CAN GO ON LINE ALL DAY LONG AND FIND THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM GM CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM. WITH THE PUBLICITY THEY'VE HAD IN THE NEWS LATELY AND THE CURRENT LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM, WE ALL KNOW HOW GM FEELS ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THEY WOULD JUST AS SOON SWEEP THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG WHILE INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE OF THEIR DISHONESTY. WOULD SOMEONE WITH ENOUGH POWER AND $$$ PLEASE STEP UP AND FORCE THEM TO TAKE…”
