FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE IS IN THE GM SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM NUMBER 07099 AND IS UNDER THE GM SPL COVERAGE PGM UPDATE 14423. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ICV COULD FRACTURE AND CREATE AN 'ENGINE SERVICE SOON' LIGHT. THAT LIGHT WAS ACTIVATED IN FEBRUARY. I TOOK IT IN, IT'S THE ICV. THEY SAID THEY'D REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AS SOON AS THEY COULD GET PARTS. THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT -- AND SAY IT COULD BE MAY OR JUNE. MEANWHILE THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT COULD BE ON FOR ICV -- OR IT COULD BE ANOTHER PROBLEM. WITH DRIPPING FUEL OUT IN THE OPEN, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD -CAN'T BE USED ON A TRIP AND CAN'T BE SOLD/TRADED AS IT'S DEFECTIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS, SUSPENSION
1. MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK IS SHORTED OUT AND WONT OPERATE AT ALL. WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE WINDOW TO REMAIN DOWN DURING A RAIN STORM AND IMPEDING MY VISIBILITY. I SEE THEY HAVE RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. 2. MY SEAT BELT CATHES REALLY TIGHT AND WONT RELEASE CASUSING ME PAIN. 3. MY HEADLIGHTS REGULAR BEAMS KEEP COMING LOOSE AND BLOWING OUT.IVE HAD TO FIX THIS THREE TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK. TWICE DURING DRIVING AT NIGHT ONCE I AM NOT SURE WHEN IT BLEW. 4. THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS HAVING PROBLEMS AND I BELIEVE MAY BE A RECALL ISSUE. IT MAKES LOUD NOISE LIKE ITS CRACKING OR BREAKING, WHILE DRIVING.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON 12/15/15 I DROPPED OFF MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BASED ON A BULLETIN THAT I RECEIVED FROM CHEVY - GM SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM #14423. THERE WAS A SMELL OF FUEL WHILE REFUELING. ON 12/16/15 THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS INDEED DEFECTIVE AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND HOLD THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PART CAME IN SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. LATER THAT DAY THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF FEB.2016 AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN THEIR LOT. THAT WAS EXTREMELY UPSETTING NEWS SINCE NOW I WAS NOT GOING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WITHOUT A REPLACEMENT. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALERSHIP ([XXX] (SERVICE ADVISOR), [XXX] (PARTS MANAGER), [XXX] (SERVICE DIRECTOR), AND [XXX] , (PARTS DEPT. SUPERVISOR) AS WELL AS CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE (CASE # [XXX]). TODAY IS MARCH 4, 2016 AND THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN WITH OUT MY TRAILBLAZER FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE STILL HAVE "NO IDEA" WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THEY NOW TELL ME MAYBE MAY 2016. CAN YOU HELP EXPEDITE THIS CASE FOR ME? SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
