I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR LAST WEEK AND BROUGHT THE 2003 SSR FOR SERVICE WEDNESDAY 10-24-12. SERVICE TEAM IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AS A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK. THE CRACK WAS AT THE FILL AREA WHERE THE PLASTIC NECK CONNECTION GOES INTO THE PLASTIC TANK. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW SURPRISING THIS WOULD BE AS A CONSUMER AND CHEVY LOYALIST! MY WIFE AND I ARE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH GAS POTENTIALLY LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT! I'VE OWNED NUMEROUS CHEVYS AND A COUPLE OF GERMAN VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS, NEVER WITH ANY FAILURE OF THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS HOLDING THE TANK FOR INSPECTION.

HOOKED UP MY TRAILER TO THE 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO AND DROVE TO THE GAS STATION AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKES. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE FREEWAY LIKE THE DAY BEFORE WHEN MY WIFE AND I DROVE 20 MILES DOING 70 MPR, WOW WE COULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW. IM WITHOUT A TRANSPORTATION AND THE DEALER WANTS 2000.00 AND ANOTHER WANTS 3000.00 TO FIX IT. THE WAY THE BRAKE LINE ARE DESIGNED MAKES IT VERY HARD TO FIX, BUT FOR THE BRAKES TO GO OUT WITHOUT A SAFETY BACK UP SYSTEM IS NUTS. I HAVE A 1970 CAR THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAVE NO RUST!! THIS IS A LIFE OR DEAF ISSUE SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE. EVEN AFTER I FIX THIS TRUCK I'LL BE SCARED TO DRIVE IT. *TR
