Pontiac Aztek Fuel System, Gasoline Storage Tank Assembly Safety Report | Sept 24, 2005
Reported on Sept 24, 2005
| THE FUEL TANK OF MY 2001 PONTIAC AZTEK BEGAN TO LEAK AT THE NECK(OF THE TANK). AT MY DEALERSHIP (MARIETTA GMC, PONTIAC) I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE PROCEDURE WAS TO REPLACE THE TANK AT A COST OF $ 950.00 TO ME. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED VIA RECALL. IF MY HOME HAD GAS FIRED WATER HEATERS OR FURNACES IN THE GARAGE I MOST LIKELY WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS LETTER, BECAUSE THE FIRST INDICATION I HAD OF THIS PROBLEM WAS WITH THE LEAKAGE INSIDE MY GARAGE, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. CLEARLY THIS IS A FAILURE OF MATERIALS AS THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ABUSE TO THE TANK IN ANY MANNER. *NM | |
