On a gm 3500hd stakebed truck experinced gasoline odor and saw fuel dripping from the gas tank. According to the dealer, corrosion had caused the connection between the gas tank and sending unit to breakaway. Could this be similar to problem with the envoy and chevrolet trailblazer?
I own a 1998 chevrolet truck that has the same windshield wiper problems as the 1994 -1997 chevrolet trucks had where they will choose when they want to work. I took it to the dealer, and they said too bad, it's going to cost you to fix. Why is this not covered under the same recall? *ak
