Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I drive a 2001 pontiac grand prix & in august of 2003, my "service engine soon" light came on..i took it to a dealer, faulkner pontiac, in trevose, pa who stated there were "no leaks found & reprogrammed pcm with updated calibration." then in mid february 2004, my "service engine soon" light came on again. my mechanic said it may be an emissions related problem & to take it to my dealer, in case it will be covered under the emissions warranty. (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
