Incident Apr 26, 2004

JUST DISCOVERED THAT ALL REPZAIRS NEED ON MY CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT MATCHES ALL RECALLS AND MAYBE IS WHY SEVERAL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS INCLUDING MANUF DEALERSHIP REFUSED REEPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE OVER THE PAST YEARS. I SEEKCOMPENSATION AND REPAIRS AND REIMBURSEMENTS AND SEEK PUNISHMENT AGAINST COMPANIES DEFRAUDING ME

Incident Apr 5, 1998

I NOTICED THAT WHEN THIS CAR WAS FILLED, FUEL WOULD LEAK FROM THE TANK RIGHT WHERE THE FILLER TUBE GOES IN. I ALSO COULD HEAR A RATTLE IN THE REAR WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED THE FUEL TANK TO HAVE IT SENT OUT FOR REPAIR. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I REALIZED THAT THE RATTLE WAS COMING FROM THE LOOSE BAFFLES IN THE TANK AND THAT THE LOOSE FILLER NECK RATTLED AGAINST THE INTERNAL BAFFLES ALSO. I FELT THAT SOLDERING THE JOINT WOULD BE A QUICK FIX, BUT BECAUSE OF THE LOOSENESS, IT WOULD ONLY LEAK AGAIN IN TIME. AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO JUST REPLACE THE TANK(AND FUEL PUMP). I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO SHOP FOR PRICES. WHILE USING '1991CAMARO FUEL TANK' AS SEARCH WORDS, I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. WHEN I QUESTIONED A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER WITH MY VIN # THEY SAID IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CAMPAIGN. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. IT SEEMED ODD THAT EVERYWHERE I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET THERE WAS INFORMATION THAT SAID MY CAR WAS INVOLVED, YET THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. I HAVE ALREADY ORDERED A NEW TANK AND PUMP FROM CHEVROLET. THIS IS MY SON'S CAR AND I WANT IT IN GOOD RUNNING ORDER BECAUSE HE LEAVES IN 2 WEEKS FOR COLLEGE. SO, WITH OR WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL THE REPAIR NEEDS TO BE DONE. I FEEL I SHOULD AT LEAST GET REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THE TANK. *PH

Incident Aug 14, 2001

IS THERE ANYWAY TO GO ABOUT GETTING REPAIRS DONE FROM THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER? NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

VEHILE REAR AXLE WAS SERVICED FOR EXCESSIVE GRINDING NOISE. BEARINGS REPLACED. 6 MONTHS LATER (APPROX 5000 MILES) RIGHT REAR WHEEL, AND AXLE SHAFT DEPARTED THE VEHICLE INTACT. DEALER CLAIMS POSI FAILURE DUE TO "ABUSE" CAUSED THE SEPARATION.*AK

Incident Jun 20, 2001

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK THERE IS A STRONG PRESENCE OF GAS FUMES. DEALER HAS NOT SEEN. *AK

I HAVE HAD REJECTIONS FOR SAFETY INSPECTION STICKERS ANUALLY FOR A NUMBER OF CONSECUTIVE YEARS BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT BUILT INTO THIS 1991 CAMARO REAR GLASS IS MADE OF HEAT REACTIVE PLASTIC WHICH MELTS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE HELD FOR LONG PERIODS (LIKE TRAFFIC JAMS). THE DEALER WILL GLADLY SELL THE OWNER A NEW ONE FOR A CONSIDERABLE SUM. BUT, IT IS MADE OF THE SAME HEAT REACTIVE PLASTIC AND DOES NOT HAVE VENTILATION TO DISAPATE THE HEAT...LIKE THE ONE ALREADY ON THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS ANY YEAR OF THIS DESIGN, SURELY INCLUDING THE '92'S AS WELL. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO EASILY DETERMINE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS. ONE USUALLY FINDS OUT AT INSPECTION TIME OR BY BEING TICKETED BY THE POLICE. THE INSPECTION WORKER TOLD ME THAT ALMOST EVERY VEHICLE LIKE MINE FAILS THIS ONE PARTICULAR INSPECTION REQUIREMENT DUE TO ITS DESIGN. CAN THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE AND IF FOUND VALID, REQUIRE GM TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR THIS POOR DESIGN? MANY OTHER PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN THIS VEHICLE SUFFER A PREMATURE FAILURE DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY. HOWEVER, THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTS SAFETY. I CAN BE REACHED BY CELL PHONE AS WELL AS THE NUMBER ALREADY PROVIDED. THE CELL PHONE IS (225)907-5911. ONE OTHER COMPLAINT IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THEY FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AFTER THE SECOND YEAR. EVENTUALLY, I REPLACED THE MOTOR WITH ONE FROM A PARTS STORE AT MY EXPENSE AND CURED THE PROBLEM. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS?*AK

Incident Aug 15, 1992

THERE IS A FUEL LEAK AT THE FILLER NECK. ALSO, FUEL TANK CAN ONLY CONSUME FIVE DOLLARS WORTH OF FUEL WITHOUT THE TANK LEAKING. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHEN KEY IS INSERTRD INTO THE IGNITION THERE IS POWER, BUT IT WILL NOT START THE ENGINE. THERE IS A COMPUTER CHIP ON KEY, WHICH WHEN I WENT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IT COULD NOT BE COPIED BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET A VATS # CODE AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY PLACE TO GET IT WAS FROM THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP THE CAR CAME FROM. IN WHICH I CANNOT LOCATE SO THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SITE UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. *AK

Incident Dec 29, 1999

FUEL IS LEAKING FROM THE FILLER NECK EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR OVER TWO YEARS AGO. THE CAR SMELLS LIKE FUEL AROUND THE GAS TANK, AND YOU CAN SEE GAS RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TANK FROM THE FILLER NECK. IF THE CAR IS PUT IN A GARAGE, THE GARAGE WILL SMELL STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY HAZARD. *AK

Incident Aug 1, 1997

THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THE RECALL DESCRIBES. I HAVE HEARD FROM QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME COMPLAINT OF NOT BEING COVERED. AND YES I HAVE TOLD THEM TO COME HERE TO ENTER THE INFORMATION. THE FUMES CAN ALMOST OVERCOME YOU AT TIMES BUT AT TIMES ARE HARDLY NOTICEABLE BUT I BELIEVE IT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ANYWAY. IF SOME VEHICLES ARE COVERED AND SOME AREN'T BUT SOME HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WOULDN'T THAT BE REASON ENOUGH TO EXPAND THE RECALL. I HOPE SO. ALL HELP ON THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE MY OPINION AND SUBMIT THIS INFORMATION. THANKS AGAIN.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SEEN BY 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR PAINT DELAMINATION. ALL HAVE RECONGNIZED IT IS "DEFECTIVE PRIMER". WHEN FIRST TAKEN IN TO FRANK PARRA CHEVROLET THE CAR WAS AT THAT TIME ONE MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED BOTH IN TROY, MI AND BY 800#. A GOOD WILL POLICY WAS MENTIONED TO ME, BUT DENIED BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF THE ROOF,HOOD,BACK LID & SIDES. MORE CHIPS AWAY FROM RAIN AND WASHING. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT.

Incident Jun 1, 1995

THE PAINT STARTED TO PEEL ON THE HOOD AND HAS ALSO STARTED ON THE TRUNK PLUS ON THE TAIL OF THE TRUNK THERE IS NO MORE PAINT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHERS OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO CALL BACK BUT FROM OTHERS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT A BAD PRIMER WAS THE PROBLEM ON MY YEAR CAMARO AND I HAD CALLED GMC TO INQUIRE OF THIS I ASKED IF A RESP. COULD COME AND LOOK AT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE I AM VER Y UPSET ABOUT THIS DUE TO PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY CAR AND ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF IT I AM DIGUSTED WITH HOW IT LOOKS AND HAVE EVEN OFFERED GMC TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE COST TO REPAINT THE HOOD AND TRUNK I AM ASHAME TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN PEOPLE STOP ME AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS AND ASK WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CAR, I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN EXCELLENT PRIDE IN THE APPEARENCE OF HOW MY CAR LOOKED AND THINK THIS IS VERY UNFAIR THAT THE COMPANY AND OR DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. AND THAT IS ABOUT ALL I HAVE TO SAY I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL LISTEN TO ME AND MAYBE WILL HELP ME TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AT THE LEAST.

Incident Nov 4, 1993

THE ORIGINAL SOLDERING OF THE FILLER PIPE BROKE CAUSING THE THE BRACKETS TO FAIL AND COLLAPSE ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS MAY CAUSE A GAS LEAK. *AK

Incident Aug 2, 1991

IN 1994 WE TOOK OUR 1991 CAMARO TO BRACK ROWE CHEVROLET FOR A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THEN, THE RECALL # WAS 92C36. IN 1995 WE NOTICED A FAINT GAS ODOR IN THE CAR AFTER FILLING UP. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE, NOW GAS LEAKS FROM THE TANK ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE. CHEVROLET SAYS THEY HAVE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT IT HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT FOR THEM TO FIX. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT GAS IS LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE BILL I GOT FOR THE RECALL SAYS "COMPLETED RECALL - INSPECTED - NO FURTHER WORK REQUIRED." DOES THIS MEAN THAT CHEVROLET IS NOT LIABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY WORK BECAUSE THEY INSPECTED MY CAR ONE TIME?
