Description of the problem | I have a 2002 gmc envoy that is apparently experiencing a fuel vapor leak. I took it ot the dealer (franklin gmc, tn) and he said it was a known problem; however, gmc has not initiated a recall process. He told me i could either wait for a possible recall or pay $900 to have the entire fuel tank replaced. I asked him if he felt any repsonsibility for notifying me of the known problem and not remedying the solution and he said it would have to be approved by gmc. Obviously gmc has taken the position that they would rather pay lawsuits instead of correcting the problem. Sad! |
