FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE THAT INDICATED A EVAP SYSTEM LEAK. THEN I NOTICED THE SMELL OF FUEL AFTER FILLING UP AND A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. EXAMINED FUEL FILLER PIPE AND FUEL TANK AND DISCOVERED THE FILLER PIPE NEAR THE FUEL TANK IS CORRODED AND LEAKING FUEL. I COULD NOT DETERMINE THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE LEAK.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
WE WERE SOLD A LEMON VEHICLE FROM EVANS MOTORS LOCATED AT 112 W ST JOHN ST, GIRARD KS BY EDDIE WALSH. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE NOW FOR A LITTLE OVER 1 MONTH. THE BACK BRAKES WENT OUT, THE FRONT BRAKES WENT OUT AS MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE PADS WENT FLYING. THAT SAME DAY WE FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST AROUND $1000 TO $3000 TO BE FIXED. EVANS MOTORS HAS YET TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO HELP FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY INFORMED US THAT WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IT IS NOW OUR PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. MY SON IS A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH AN INFANT 2 MONTH OLD SON AND HE NEEDS A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT HIS SON IN, TO GO TO SCHOOL AND WORK. I WANT SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH THE ISSUE AT HAND. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, CHILD SEAT
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING ONGOING RIGHT AFTER THE CAR'S WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000. UPON RESEARCHING IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR WAS TO BLAME ON THIS 6 YEAR OLD CAR AND THAT SINCE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY SENSOR. MOST MANUFACTURERS INDICATE THAT THE LIFE OF THEIR AIRBAG EQUIPMENT IS BETWEEN 10-15 YEARS. MERCEDES-BENZ ORIGINALLY STATED THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE REPLACED DURING NORMAL SERVICE AT THE CUSTOMER?S COST AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS BUT BOTH MERCEDES-BENZ AND AUDI NOW SAY THE UNITS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND INFINITI IS UNWILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AFTER ONLY 6 YEARS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAD THE BRAKES APPLIED ON MY CAR, AND PUT IT IN REVERSE IN ORDER TO CORRECTLY POSITION THE CAR IN A PARKING SPACE. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKES, BECAUSE I WAS ONLY MOVING THE CAR A FEW FEET, THE TACHOMETER TOOK OFF LIKE CRAZY, THE ENGINE REVED UP AND THE CAR STARTING INCHING BACKWARDS EVEN THOUGH I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. I ALMOST WAS GOING TO HIT THE PARKED CAR IN BACK OF ME SO I SLAMMED THE (AUTOMATI) GEAR INTO PARK. ONLY THEN DID THE ENGINE STOP REVVING AND THE CAR STOP. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND CAME IN TO WORK AND TRIED TO CALM DOWN BECAUSE I WAS VERY FRIGHTENED. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO, WHILE I WAS IN DRIVE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING AND MOVING FORWARD. AT THE TIME, I THOUGHT THIS WAS BECAUSE I MAY HAVE BEEN ON BLACK ICE.*CN

SEAT BELTS: REAR/OTHER:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
WHEN MY DAUGHTER WENT TO BUCKLE HER SEATBELT IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR, THE BUCKLE WOULDN'T LATCH. I TRIED IT, TOO--THE METAL PIECE SLID INTO THE OTHER PART WITHOUT LATCHING. THEN IT'D LATCH; NEXT TRY IT WOULDN'T. I COULDN'T TRUST THE SEATBELT, SO WE COULDN'T LET THE CHILDREN RIDE IN THAT CAR ANY LONGER. THANKFULLY THE SEATBELT FAILED WHEN WE WERE BUCKLING THE CHILD IN THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY HEADING OUT--AND NOT DURING AN ACCIDENT, OR ON THE WAY HOME. I'M MAD THAT THE SEATBELT COULD FAIL WITHOUT WARNING LIKE THAT. HOW CAN I TRUST THAT THE SEATBELT WILL WORK PROPERLY WHEN IT'S NEEDED???!! I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY CONFIRMED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE SEATBELT. 11/26 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SEATBELT MECHANISM UNDER WARRANTY AND CHECKED THE FUNCTION OF THE OTHER SEATBELTS. I'M SATISFIED THAT THEY'VE FIXED IT... BUT STILL CONCERNED IF THE OTHER SEATBELTS WILL FAIL WITHOUT MY KNOWING, AND CONCERNED ABOUT ALL THE OTHER CARS OF MY MAKE/MODEL OUT THERE, WHOSE SEATBELTS MAY HAVE FAILED AND PARENTS DON'T YET KNOW IT. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
AT APPROXIMATELY 11:00 PM ON JANUARY 04, 2004 I WAS HEADING EAST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 AND EXITED THE FREEWAY AT THE ORANGE GROVE EXIT. AS I APPROACHED THE ORANGE GROVE INTERSECTION I PROCEEDED ON A GREEN LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT ONTO ORANGE GROVE. TRAVELING AT A REASONABLE SPEED FOR THE INTERSECTION, I NOTICED A LOUD POP IN THE FRONT END, AND CONSEQUENTLY LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. AT THIS TIME I WAS FORCED TO THE RIGHT AND CAME IN CONTACT PARALLEL TO A CEMENT BARRIER CAUSING MINIMAL BODY DAMAGE TO MY 2000 INFINITY G20. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. *LA
