COMMUNICATED TO GM HELP CENTER 10/30/2014: MY 2003 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER HAS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN THE REAR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 63,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I "GOOGLED" THE PROBLEM AND FOUND IT TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE. IN PART: NHTSA #: PE07014 "IN JUNE 2007, GM WILL EXPAND ITS SPECIAL POLICY TO ADDRESS FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV) FRACTURES." WILL YOU HELP ME REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? SHORT STORY, THEY REVIEWED MY DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND ULTIMATELY DECLINED ANY REMEDY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS PASTED, BUT MY ISSUE IS I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION AS NOTED IN NHTSA # PE07014. HAD I RECEIVED THAT NOTIFICATION I WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE FOLLOWED UP ON THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS VERY LOW MILES FOR BEING A 2003. IN VIEW OF THE LACK OF NOTIFICATION, I THINK THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED AS OUTLINED AS PART OF PE07014. HAD I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION AND IGNORED IT, THEN IT WOULD MY PROBLEM, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THE ORIGINAL NOTIFICATION. *TR

FRAME HOLDING FRONT SUSPENSION RUSTED. *TR

POWER WINDOW CONTROL ON THE PASSENGER DOOR STARTED ON FIRE AND MELTED SOME OF THE DOOR PANEL AND WINDOW CONTROL MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE HAS THE HEATED SEAT BUTTONS ON THE WINDOW CONTROL MODULE. (P/N 15096223). THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE (NO KEYS IN IGNITION) WHEN THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF AND SMOKE STARTED FLOWING OUT. COMPLETELY MELTED THE FRONT 4PIN CONNECTER AND WIRING HARNESS I STILL HAVE THE MELTED PART IF NEEDED FOR ANYTHING. I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT YOU HAVE NOW OPENED UP AN INVESTIGATION ON 2006-2007 MODELS ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. I HAD DID A FEW INTERNET SEARCHES LOOKING FOR RECALLS OR SUCH. DID FIND A COUPLE POST WHERE SIMILAR THINGS HAD HAPPENED TO OTHERS WHERE OTHERS HAD STATED HAVING TO DO WITH WATER COMING IN THE WINDOW AND SHORTING THE SWITCH (IF THIS HELPS) THANKS *TR
