I don't feel like I am "owed" anything. What I had in my possession when I went to the dealer was a copy of the TSB that Biscuit has in this post. Back up and read it if you will. It specifically says 2008 Aspens. That is what I have. The Service Rep went to his computer and pulled up the info on my particular Vin number. The recall was for Aspens manufactured from Feb 1 thru April 1, 2008. My Aspen was manufactured in June. It does not state the dates involved anywhere on the TSB, It simply says 2008, so I was under the impression that ALL 2008 Aspens were covered. After the Service Rep explained this to me, I was wrong to "question" him any further and continue to push my point. The "fix" is a complete replacement of the gas tank, not just the filler tube, according to the rep and i do not have the money right now to do this. Hey, I will live with the problem. I have done all that I can do at this point in time. I have filed a complaint with the NHTSA. I will live with the problem. I will let my Aspen run down to close to empty and then slowly put in about 10 gallons of gas. No problem. I am retired and have the time. Other than the splash back problem, I LOVE my Aspen.
Thanks to those that have offered constructive advice and criticism to me on this issue. I appreciate it. As I: mentioned, I feel that I have done all that i can do on the issue at this point in time. Please honor my request, if you will, and lets just drop the subject at this point in time. Thank you
