General Motors - Why Should I Pay for the Defective Fuel Sensor

2006 Trail Blazer Fuel Sensor - Complaint

ALBANY, GEORGIA -- I receieved a letter telling me that the Blazer we purchased has a defective fuel sensor. We can have it replaced at the dealership and they will pay half the bill. I don't go to the dealership because they are 40% higher than everyone else. The way they treat you after the car is out of warranty is another story. When did the consumer have to start paying for the mistakes that the car builder makes.

I feel that the sticker on the side of the vehicle at purchase should have statement sayS "This vehicle is made almost right" or "You are taking a chance with this vehicle having defects". I know they always say "BUYER BEWARE". I just really feel I shouldn't have to pay anything for the repair. I think this my be the LAST General Motors vehicle I buy. My country bailed them out and now I have to pay again. Remember "BUYER BEWARE".

It is rare that an automobile manufacturer steps up for any defective part, unless it merits a recall. It sounds like this one is known to be a problem, if they are willing to pay anything.

My motorcycle fuel level sensor is known to fail often, and it costs $120+200 labor to replace. So, it isn't being repaired.
