(80,000 miles) i am presently at 44,000 miles. the light was coming off & on and on wed. march 17, 2004, i took my car to fairway automotive group, jenkintown, pa. they said after running a diagnostic, found: "diag scan found po440 performed smoke out test found fuel tank leak! they said my car could have exploded or caught on fire! and this is not a recall? i contacted gm monday march 22, 2004 to no avail, to my satisfaction. i feel i could have been driving a dangerous vehicle for the last few months, or even since february & i'm very concerned about this fuel tank leak. of course i had it fixed by fairway automotive group, about $370.00 later & feel this should be a recall by gm. your help is apreciated. thank you dona. *ak |
