FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
THIS WAS DONE ON INVOICE 171017, BUT DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS INSPECTION I FAIL TO SEE HOW THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE 18 MINUTES ANNOTATED ON THE INVOICE. THE FUEL TANK FILLER IS LITERALLY BURIED ABOVE THE TANK IN THE REAR ABOVE THE AXLE. THIS TANK LEAKS NOW AND HAS BEEN SINCE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT HAS HAD A STRONG FUEL ODOR SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT WAS NORMAL ON EFI CARS. I DON'T THINK SO.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT FOR MY VEHICLE, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 94V077000. THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK SOLDER JOINT IS CRACKED JUST AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL DATABASE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND CALLED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AT 800-222-1020, AND THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. I GUESS THEY FEEL I AM ELIGIBLE TO HAVE MY CAR CATCH FIRE OR EXPLODE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY FUEL TANK! AT THIS POINT, ALL I WOULD LIKE IS FOR GM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, IN THE FUTURE AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS EXPLODED, PERHAPS MY FAMILY WILL REQUEST MUCH MORE OF GM. LANDON BALL.*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP CHECKED MY VIN AND SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME CAR AS I DO AND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PARKING LAMPS IN FRONT HAVE NEVER BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY, BUT THEY STILL DEVELOP LARGE AMOUNT OF CONDESATION AND BLUR THE LENS. *AK
