This vehicle has a strong odor of gasoline from the rear of the vehicle. There are no signs of fuel on the ground where the vehicle is parked. I understand that this was the subject of another GM special coverage adjustment 15682. I am concerned that the vehicle may catch fire and cause damage to person and property.

On this car there is no way to manually open the convertible top in the down position. The spot where there is a hole depicted in the car manual where a button to push to manually open the top is missing. I view this as a safety problem.

WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO SEARCH A DATABASE FOR TSB IMPLEMENTATION, I HAVE NO WAY TO DETERMINE IF MY USED CAR PURCHASE HAS BEEN FIXED PER THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATION OUTLINED IN THE TSB. ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, I AM NOT ABLE TO ASCERTAIN IF THE FUEL LEAK ISSUE WAS REPAIRED!! TSB IMPLEMENTATION NEEDS TO BE HANDLED SIMILAR TO SAFETY RECALLS TO PREVENT SERIOUS PROBLEMS FOR UNSUSPECTING USED CAR BUYERS.
