Description of the problem | 2003 aztek. Noticed 1/4 tank of gas leaked under vehicle. No prior problem with gas leakage or event causing the leakage. Took car to gm dealer. They said i would have to replace the entire fuel tank. No used parts or aftermarket parts could be used because of a modification to the gas tank after this car was produced. No recall information was available. I contacted pontiac customer service and got a run-around. They were to call the service department to discuss. They failed to follow through. There is a nhtsa rq06-009 action open on this problem but no one seemed to care. It appears that i am stuck paying for a manufacturer defect. |
