| 2009 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | VEHICLE HAD OPEN RECALL ON OCTOBER 13TH, 2012; TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JOHN ELWAY CHEVROLET TO FIX RECALL 11290, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING DUE TO AN OXYGEN INTAKE RELATED ISSUE. THE OPEN RECALL, WHICH IS WAS A DEFECTIVE EMISSIONS COMPONENT, IS, IN ADDITION TO THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM, COVERED UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY AND FEDERAL EMISSIONS DEFECT WARRANTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE U.S FEDERAL CLEAN AIR ACT, AND BACKED BY CHEVROLET'S PROMISE TO "REPAIR AND/OR REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP WHICH CAUSE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO CONFORM WITH THOSE REGULATIONS" (P20, 21), AND COVER "EMISSION RELATED DEFECTS IN THE GENUINE GM PARTS LISTED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY PARTS LIST, INCLUDING RELATED DIAGNOSTIC COSTS, PARTS, AND LABOR" (21).

THE OXYGEN INTAKE RELATED ISSUE HOWEVER, WAS NOT REPAIRED, AND DIAGNOSTIC COSTS AND REPAIRS FOR THESE PARTS WERE, ACCORDING TO JOHN ELWAY CHEVROLET, AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. SINCE OCTOBER 13TH, 2013 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS TO NOT ONLY ABIDE BY THE CHEVROLET OWNER'S RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE I HAD PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2012. IT IS BECAUSE OF CHEVROLET'S FAILURE TO ABIDE BY THEIR VERY OWN PROMISE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, THE BINDING CONTRACT I MYSELF PURCHASED AND SIGNED WITH MY VEHICLE WHICH STATES IN THEIR OWN WORDS WARRANTY, WAS BROKEN AND AS A RESULT MY 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO WAS NO LONGER CONSIDERED A WORKING OR LEGAL VEHICLE. ON AUGUST 16TH, 2013, A CASE WAS MADE WITH POISON CONTROL AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, FOR THE LAST TIME. *TR |
