The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Express. The contact stated that she could not place compressed natural gas into the tank of her vehicle. The contact was able to find the required gas in another state; however, the vehicle ran out of gas on the return home. The contact had initially towed the vehicle to a local dealer and was informed that they did not have an available service technician to repair her vehicle. The contact then called Weston Buick GMC (22555 SE Stark St, Gresham, OR 97030) where she towed the vehicle after she was assured that the vehicle could be serviced by the dealer. After two weeks of remaining in the dealer's possession, the contact was also informed that the dealer did not have a service technician that could service her vehicle. The contact then called the manufacturer who contacted six dealers within her area and no dealer could help. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
