FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FUEL TANK HAS A HOLE IN IT. I HAVE FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA AND ALSO WITH GM. AN NHTSA WORKER HELPED ME A LOT AND WHEN I CALLED GM AND CHEVY BACK I WAS TOLD SEVERAL TIMES SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME. I HAVE TRIED TO GET IT FIXED BUT NO ONE IS ABLE TO HELP. I HAVE TRIED MANY PLACES FOR USED FUEL TANKS BUT EVERYONE SAYS THAT THE ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS THAT THEY HAVE ALL HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I CANNOT GET ANY HELP FROM GM OR CHEVY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE SPEEDOMETER READS BETWEEN 60 (AT A STOP) AND >120 (HIGHWAY SPEED). THE TACHOMETER ARM POINTS STRAIGHT DOWN AT ALL TIMES. I AM PLANNING ON REPLACING IT MYSELF, KNOWING A RECALL WILL TAKE TOO LONG FOR ME TO WAIT BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND TALKED TO OTHERS WITH GM VEHICLES AROUND THIS YEAR. I KNOW OF THE RECALL ON THE 2002 MODELS AND IT SEEMS GM DIDN'T TRY THAT HARD TO FIX FUTURE MODELS. PLEASE FIX THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND SAVE OTHER'S MONEY AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, LIVES BECAUSE OF THIS CARELESSNESS DISPLAYED BY GM. *TR
