FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WITH NO REASON THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER TO STEER OR MOVE. HAVE BEEN TO NUMEROUS REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE CAUSE. I THINK IT IS THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST IS APPROXIMATELY $ 500.00. WILL GENERAL MOTORS PAY FOR THIS? SHOULD THIS NOT BE ON THE RECALL LIST? THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AS SOMEONE COULD HIT ME WHEN IT STALLS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FRAUDULENT VEHICLE INSPECTION & EMISSIONS DONE ON A REGARDING 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE, PURCHASE DATE, MARCH 17, 2014. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THEIR APPROVED SHOPS AND MY USUAL MECHANIC TAKING AN EXCESSIVE TIME FROM WORK TO TRY TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE. THE CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL DISTRIBUTION, THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS AREN'T FIRING WHICH WILL REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE GAS GAUGE SENSOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE OIL LIGHT & CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ALSO ON. ALL THESE THINGS I WAS ASSURED WOULD BE REPAIRED BY [XXX], THE SALESPERSON. HE STATED THE INSPECTION FACILITY, PA STATION ID#[XXX], HAS BEEN SENDING THE VEHICLES TO THEM PARTIALLY INSPECTED AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE "INSPECTION" WAS ON 3/4/14,AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOP, AND OTHERS LIKE IT, ARE KNOWINGLY DEFRAUDING CONSUMERS OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE WOULD NOT START. I PUT THE HOOD UP AND TOLD MY GIRLFRIEND TO START THE CAR. WHEN SHE DID IT BACKFIRED INTO THE INTAKE AND BLEW UP IN MY FACE. I LOST HEARING IN MY LEFT EAR FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS. CAR GOT TOWED TO CHANCE'S AUTOMOTIVE IN EASTON, MARYLAND. SINCE I HAVE FULL COVERAGE ON THE CAR I GOT A RENTAL VEHICLE THROUGH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. WEEKS LATER THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAYS THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR. HOWEVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY ANY MANUFACTURER SAYING SO. SINCE THERE WAS/IS A RECALL ON MY CAR THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAYS THAT THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE COST OF MY CAR BEING FIXED. SO I CALL A LOCAL GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP. THE GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECORD SAYING THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR. I HAVE CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY NUMEROUS TIMES TRYING TO FIND WHAT WEBSITE THEY WERE USING TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION. FINALLY AFTER WEEKS THEY GIVE ME YOUR WEBSITE. I SEARCHED THE REPORTS WITH 3 RECALL NUMBERS(WHICH 2 DO NOT EXIST;96V1160000 AND 03V473000) THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY GAVE ME. RECALL # 04V09000 IS LISTED IN YOUR DATABASE BUT THE RECALL DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY MENTION MY CAR, A 1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. HOWEVER THE MOTOR YOU SPECIFY IS THE SAME MOTOR IN MY CAR. FROM THIS INFORMATION I DO NOT KNOW WHOM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND FOR A MONTH NOW FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE LOCAL GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP. I HAVE A RENTAL VEHICLE WHICH HAVE TO GO BACK TOMORROW, FEBRUARY 14, 2006. I HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD SON WHO I HAVE TO TAKE TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY AND I HAVE A CAREER OF MY OWN. WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION I CANNOT PROVIDE FOR MY CHILD. I JUST WANT THESE MESS TO BE SOLVED. IF YOU COULD HELP ME IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE PLEASE CONTACT ME. MY NAME IS [XXX] AND MY NUMBER IS [XXX] IF NO ANSWER PLEASE CALL [XXX]. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

GASOLINE EVAPORATION LEAK AT TANK HOSE CAUSING ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. GM DEALER SAYS HOSE IS BROKE AT TANK AND ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE ENTIRE LENGTH OF HOSE AND FUEL TANK AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $780.
