Got home tonight parked the Tahoe in the garage, a couple hours later I went back out to the garage.......:ack:, I about fell over from the fumes!!!:confused2:

I looked around couldn't see nothing, I thought I ran over a gas can!!!

I told my husband, so he got to looking around and sure enough he said theres a drop of gas coming of the front axle just left of the Oil filter??? 08 Tahoe with 6000 miles on it, Thanks GM....Tomorrow Is New Years so I will just have to wait until friday...

Not sure if you've acted on this yet, but if your garage is full of fumes then DON'T START the vehicle! Put the vehicle in neutral and push it out onto the driveway/street. Gasoline vapors are highly flammable!
Poor timing, but hope all works out safely and well!

No. I would demand the dealership TOW IT. Its a huge risk to even start the vehicle. The spark of somthing may cause BABOOOM. But if you do decide to drive it your self. you can put the key in accessory mode and then shift. If you need help I will come out there:lol:

Do not start the truck it will catch fire!

Once the motor gets hot enough you don't even need a spark for a fire to start, the heat will start the fire.

Like rollin thunder said, call the dealer and have it towed in and have the tow truck driver push the truck out of the garage if the fumes are really as bad as you think they are.

Well you switch dealers.

When I bought my Toyota I bought from a big volume dealer that pumps out 300 cars just on the weekend and I'll never go back to a big dealer again.

I have waited 2 and a half to three hours for a oil change just to find out that my bumper was scratched and no one knew what happen.

When I bought my Chevy I bought it from a mom and pop Chevy dealer that has been around longer then I have and all the employees are family. They take car of your car and I'm out of there in 30 minutes or less. they have even fixed little things not covered by GM and sent me on my way without paying a dime.

And where do you live? J/K

I did buy it from a small Chevy dealer, and when i bought my Tahoe a few days after it was home I noticed a little scuff in the passengar seat, I said somthing and they replaced it no questions asked. But when I picked it there where some sratches on the center console and drivers side door panel wood grain. I told them and they fixed it no questions asked. I'm just real picky...I bought my 08 in Febuary it only has 6000 miles on it, and stills smells bran new inside!!!:D

I hate to bitch and don't want be that person that when walk in the door they say oh great!! you know what I mean!!
