MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 4WD HAS 41,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. RECENTLY THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON (SES) LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED. PERSONAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE REVEALED A SMALL CRACK IN THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK. THE CRACK WAS LOCATED AT THE "WELD" OR JOINT WHERE THE PLASTIC FUEL FILL PIPE CONNECTS TO THE TANK. THIS FILL PIPE ALSO HOUSES THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV). AS MY VEHICLE WAS PAST THE THREE-YEAR - 36,000 MILE WARRANTY PERIOD I ATTEMPTED TO GLUE THE LEAKING CRACK. THIS HELD FOR A FEW WEEKS, THE SES LIGHT WENT OUT AND THERE WAS NO ODOR OR APPEARANCE OF GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE AREA. EVENTUALLY, THOUGH, THE LEAK RETURNED, EVIDENCED BY THE SES LIGHT ILLUMINATION AND GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE REPAIRED AREA. ANOTHER REPAIR ATTEMPT WAS MADE AND IS CURRENTLY UNDER OBSERVATION. THIS EXACT PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE DETAILED IN GENERAL MOTORS DOCUMENT ID# 1985459; SUBJECT: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FRACTURE #07099 - (06/07/2007). THIS REFERENCED DOCUMENT ONLY PERTAINS TO 2002-2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT AND GMC ENVOY XL, BOTH LONGER WHEELBASE MODELS THAN MY STANDARD LS MODEL.

THE SERVICE CONSULTANT SAID HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH MY PROBLEM AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS THE COMPUTER DATABASE FOR ANY RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FOR MY VEHICLE. HE DID TAKE A COPY OF THE ABOVE REFERENCED SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT DOCUMENT AND PROMISED A RETURN CALL TOMORROW. *TR

PRIOR TO THIS HAD ISSUE WITH INTERMITTENT DASH BOARD LIGHTS (BATTERY, SPEED ODOMETER, SEATBELT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS) BEING ON. GM REFUSES TO COVER BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE TO "DEALER".
