SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING: LAMP
I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT MY 1992 CORSICAS INOPERATIVE BRAKE STOP LAMP SWITCH. I WAS CONTACTED BY A REPRESENTATIVE. HE ASKED ME FOR THE VEHICLE VIN AND THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I NEVER RECEIVED THE RECALL INFO IN THE FIRST PLACE AND HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THE SWITCH THAT ONLY INCLUDED CERTAIN CARS. MY CARS BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE LIKE THAT DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. SHOULD I NOT BE INCLUDED. KENNETH J. STARR [email protected]. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES, I PULLED IN TO A PARKINGS SPOT, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. I WALKED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT (ABOUT 20 YARDS) WHEN I HEARD SOMEONE SAY "THAT CAR IS ON FIRE!!!!" I TURNED TO LOOK AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS MY CAR.ACCORDING TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHEN THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT THE FIRST TIME, IT FLARED BACK UP DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP STILL PUMPING GAS OUT. (THE KEYS WERE IN MY POCKET). *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE HEAD GASKET CRACKED/BROKE. I SMELT THE ANITFREEZE AND OPEN THE HOOD TO SEE IT DRIBBLE FROM THE HEAD GASKET. THE CAR DEALER IS FIXING IT FOR ~$800. THE CAR IS STILL YOUNG AT 95K MILES. PREVIOUSLY I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR 3-4 TIME TO CHECK THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, WHICH NEVER MOVES ABOE THE 1/8TH MARK. SO I NEVER GOT ANY INDICATION THAT THE ENGINE HEATED UP TO LEAD TO THE GASKET FAILURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. THEY HAD A RECALL FOR 1995 CHEVY/PONTIAC SISTER CARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, IS WHAT THE DEALER TOLD ME. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE ALL RELATED.
