FUEL TANK/FILLER ASSEMBLY CAUSES VAPORS TO BACKUP INTO GAS PUMPS EQUIPPED WITH VAPOR RECLAMATION SYSTEMS. THIS CAUSES A GAS PUMP SO EQUIPPED TO SHUTOFF PREMATURILY WHEN REFILLING THE VEHICLES FUEL TANKS FROM ANY PERCENTAGE OF CAPICITY. THERE FOR, FILLING THE TANK BECOMES ESPECIALLY TIME CONSUMING, FRUSTURATING AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDEOUS AS ONE IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO OVERRIDE THE SYSTEMS AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF INORDER TO PUT ANY REASONABLE QUANTITY OF GALLONS INTO THE VEHICLES FUEL TANK. IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHETHER THE GAS PUMPS AUTO SHUTOFF IS BEING TRIGGERED BY FUEL BACKUP DUE TO TANK DESIGN PROBLEMS OR THE TANK ACTUALLY STARTING TO OVERFILL. THIS ISSUE PRIMARELY OCCURS WITH THE 38.5 GALLON FUEL TANK.*AK

38.5 GALLON GAS TANK CAN ONLY BE FILLED TO 2/3 TO 3/4 LEVEL BECAUSE THE DUAL GAS TANK DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW GASOLINE VAPORS TO EVACUATE, TRAPPING THE GAS VAPORS IN THE TANK WHERE THEY COULD CONCEIVABLY EXPLODE. ALTHOUGH THE DESIGN OF THIS CHASSIS IS TWO YEARS OLD, THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER WAS UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC CONTACTED GM, AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WOULD NOT DISCLOSE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO REMEDY IT, OR WHEN CUSTOMERS CAN EXPECT THE DESIGN DEFECT TO BE FIXABLE.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
