| 2002 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | I OWN A 2002 PONTIAC MONTANA EXTENDED VERSION. I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS WET FROM GASOLINE UNDER FUEL TANK INLET TUBE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR RECALLS AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 07V349000 WHICH HAD THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM I HAD. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL AND THE TANK WAS REMOVED AND A NEW GAS TANK WAS ORDERED. I WAS CALLED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THE NEXT DAY AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS THE EXTENDED MODEL AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED FOR $1,100.00. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND HE REPLIED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE, BUT THAT THE EXTENDED LENGTH MONTANA WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP INSTALL THE OLD TANK AND CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER. *TR |
| 2002 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | BOUGHT MY CAR USED IN 2006,AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON A FEW YEARS LATER,DEALER WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE I DON'T QUALIFY FOR RECALL,TELLS ME CAR CAME FROM CANADA. DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU CHECK MY VIN IS ALSO REGISTERED IN THE US. MY CAR IS NOW LEAKING COOLANT,ONE REPAIR SHOP IS SURE IT'S THE INTAKE GASKET,BUT I CAN'T GET THIS FIXED EITHER BECAUSE IT'S NOT UNDER RECALL YET I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I SURE WISH I COULD QUALIFY FOR AT LEAST ONE OF THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING. *TR |
