Description of the problem | Tl*- the contact has a 2003 pontiac aztec 55200. On january 31, 2007 the contact found a pool of leaked fuel under the vehicle after he sensed a gas smell. The vehicle was parked in the garage the night before. The smell traveled from the garage to the home over night, and was noticed in the early morning hours. The contact then ventilated the home ,and took the vehicle to the dealer that morning. The service adviser determined that the gas tank separated from the main hold, causing the gas leak. The contact filed a complaint against gmc because the leak could have been ignited and a fire may have occurred. *ak ea07-006. Pco |
