The vehicle caught fire under the hood. Wiring from electric fuel pump in gas tank caught fire and burned two holes in the top of the gas tank.
Brand new 2002 chevrolet truck makes knocking noise since new. Chevrolet agrees its a problem but will not fix it. The knocking is heard when starting vehicle. GM needs to correct this issue before it cause engine failure. *nlm
