| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I noticed that when this car was filled, fuel would leak from the tank right where the filler tube goes in. i also could hear a rattle in the rear while driving. i pulled the fuel tank to have it sent out for repair. after further inspection i realized that the rattle was coming from the loose baffles in the tank and that the loose filler neck rattled against the internal baffles also. i felt that soldering the joint would be a quick fix, but because of the looseness, it would only leak again in time. at this point i decided to just replace the tank(and fuel pump). i went on the internet to shop for prices. while using '1991camaro fuel tank' as search words, i found out about the recall. when i questioned a local chevrolet dealer with my vin # they said it was not included in the campaign. i called chevrolet customer service with the same results. it seemed odd that everywhere i looked on the internet there was information that said my car was involved, yet they said there was no recall on my car. i have already ordered a new tank and pump from chevrolet. this is my son's car and i want it in good running order because he leaves in 2 weeks for college. so, with or without knowledge of the recall the repair needs to be done. i feel i should at least get reimbursed for the cost of the tank. *ph |
