FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK WHEN REFUELING . WHEN THE CONDITION OCCURS WHICH IS OFTEN , THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE MORE THAN 1 OR 2 GALLONS OF GAS. CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK FUEL GAUGE . DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM CAUSED BY EQUAL AIR PRESSURE INSIDE TANK WITH OUTSIDE AIR PRESSURE .THIS EQUAL PRESSURE IS THE REASON WHY GAS CANNOT BE PUMPED INTO CAR . WHEN YOU CONTINUOUSLY PLAY WITH GAS NOZZLE EVENTUALLY YOU BREAK THE AIR PRESSURE SEAL. OFTEN TIMES YOU GET GASOLINE SPILLED ON YOUR HANDS AND CLOTHING AS WELL AS ON GROUND. IT IS VERY EASY FOR A PERSON TO THINK THAT THEIR GAS GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE AND DRIVE ON EVENTUALLY TO RUN OUT OF GAS.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
I HAVE FOUND THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS LEAKING OIL FROM THIS PARTICULAR MOTOR V6-3100 3.1L MFI VIN M IN MY 1994 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME. THE PLACE THAT FIXED MY CAR HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR THREE TIMES BEFORE THEY FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT WAS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL, THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY DRY AFTER 1,000 MILES, WHICH RESULTED IN THE BLOW-UP OF MY MOTOR. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT OLDSMOBILE TO FIND OUT IF THEY HAD ANY INFORMATION ON IT, BUT NO ONE COULD HELP ME. THIS IS MY LAST RESORT. THE PLACE THAT FIXED MY CAR ACTUALLY HAS ANOTHER MOTOR IN THE SAME CONDITION THAT THEY RECEIVED ONE WEEK AGO. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE AND FIND SOMETHING OUT, IT WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANKS, MISTY. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
1.) THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SAGS AND THE HINGES ARE RUSTY. THE DOOR LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WILL FALL OFF AT ANY TIME. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAS ALREADY FALLEN OFF ONCE, I HAVE REPLACED THE HINGES. WHEN IT FELL OFF, WE WERE STOPPED, BUT IT ALMOST FELL ON MY COUSIN'S LEG. 2.) THE CAR DOES NOT START LIKE NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WILL "TURN OVER" BUT WILL NOT IGNITE. IT USUALLY TAKES THREE TIMES TO START IT. 3.) WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT STUTTERS AND NEARLY STALLS. I HAVE SPENT $600 GETTING A NEW IGNITION MODUEL, FUEL PUMP, PROM CHIP, MAP SENSOR, WIRE SET, FUEL FILTER. IT RAN WELL FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS AND IS NOW HAVING THE SAME INDICATIONS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY REAR BRAKE SYSTEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE BRAKES AND I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS BEFOR NOR AFTER I BAUGHT THIS CAR. I WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT MY BRAKES FREE OF CHARGE, TO INFORM ME IF I HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR. I ALSO AM WONDERING ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT 65 MPH. AND IT WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND WOULDNT STOP . I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE THAT LOOKED AT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP
