Pontiac Montana Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Sept 12, 2008
Reported on Sept 12, 2008
| SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I SMELLED GAS AND UPON INSPECTION FOUND GAS LEAKING FROM AROUND GAS TANK FILL NECK AREA. IN THAT I WAS CONCERNED WITH A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST GM DEALER. DIAGNOSIS WAS A CRACK / FRACTURE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FILL NECK GOING INTO THE GAS TANK. AS A RESULT THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. I NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR OR IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN RECALL # 07V349000. UNFORTUNATELY THE LIMITED RECALL DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. IT APPEARS FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS APPROPRIATE WHICH COULD EXPAND THE RECALL. *TR | |
