What owners wrote
Vehicle was traveling east on I-64 in norfolk, va. Occupants smelt fuel and pulled over. Witnesses advised that immediately pulling over the vehicle was on fire in the engine compartment and within 60 seconds the fire was observed in the front driver passenger seat area. The driver and passenger had moved to the back seat area to try and free a 4 year old child from the car seat. The female passenger then exited the rear driver window suffering critical burns in the fire.
We bought the 2011 chevrolet traverse used with 99,000 miles on it. We noticed that on the car fax, other than just routine maintenance, the car had its fuel tank replaced. We questioned it, but did not think we would have problems, as the car was well taken care of. Every since we purchased the vehicle, when we fill up the car, it does not register on the fuel gauge correctly, if it registers at all.
