1 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2015

Received a recall last October 2015 about strong gas small. Got appointment at chevy dealer to fix problem in November. Dealer says I need a gas tank,but they can't get any from company. They have other recalls also with the same problem that are waiting. Now vehicle has become hard to start. Still waiting for dealer to fix. Why does Chevrolet send recalls if they have no intention of fixing the problem?? this is a dangerous situation with gas dripping, and the strong gas smell. It is a lawsuit waiting to happen if someone accidently drops a cigarette around the car.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/14/2012

After refueling our 2002 Chevrolet Blazer, there was a strong smell of gasoline. After taking it into the shop for repairs, the diagnosis was that the fuel tank and lines were rusting away and need to be replaced. Shop called us back and advised that parking break drums are falling apart. Every time we have an issue with this vehicle it has always been a major repair. Never a simple fix. With all the complaints on this vehicle I don't understand why the government doesn't force gm into a recall. This vehicle even qualified under the cash for clunkers program.
