THE PAINT STARTED TO PEEL ON THE HOOD AND HAS ALSO STARTED ON THE TRUNK PLUS ON THE TAIL OF THE TRUNK THERE IS NO MORE PAINT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHERS OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO CALL BACK BUT FROM OTHERS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT A BAD PRIMER WAS THE PROBLEM ON MY YEAR CAMARO AND I HAD CALLED GMC TO INQUIRE OF THIS I ASKED IF A RESP. COULD COME AND LOOK AT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE I AM VER Y UPSET ABOUT THIS DUE TO PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY CAR AND ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF IT I AM DIGUSTED WITH HOW IT LOOKS AND HAVE EVEN OFFERED GMC TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE COST TO REPAINT THE HOOD AND TRUNK I AM ASHAME TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN PEOPLE STOP ME AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS AND ASK WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CAR, I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN EXCELLENT PRIDE IN THE APPEARENCE OF HOW MY CAR LOOKED AND THINK THIS IS VERY UNFAIR THAT THE COMPANY AND OR DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. AND THAT IS ABOUT ALL I HAVE TO SAY I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL LISTEN TO ME AND MAYBE WILL HELP ME TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AT THE LEAST.

THE FUEL FILLER NECK SOLDER JOINT CAN DEVELOP CRACKS OR PIN HOLE LEAKS, WHICH DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." THE CRACKS AND HOLES CAN ALLOW FUEL VAPOR AND FUEL LEAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: GASOLINE VAPORS AND FUEL LEAKS CAN RESULT IN A FIRE IF EXPOSED TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY AND REPLACE THOSE WHICH EXHIBIT THE CRACKS OR PIN HOLE LEAKS.
THE FRONT SEAT UPPER HINGE COVER SCREWS ARE TOO LONG, AND INTERFERE WITH THE SEAT BACK INERTIA LOCK. THIS PREVENTS THE SEAT BACK FROM LOCKING PROPERLY.

Remedy: REPLACE SCREWS SECURING UPPER HINGE TRIM COVER WITH CORRECT LENGTH SCREWS.
THE METAL LATCHPLATES MAY NOT ENGAGE THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES, CAUSING A "NO LATCH" CONDITION. MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT OCCUPANT IN THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE LATCHPLATE RELEASE FROM THE BUCKLE.
Consequence & remedy

Remedy: REMOVE ALL SEALER FROM WINDSHIELD AND MOUNTING; APPLY NEW BONDING AND SEALANT MATERIAL, AND REINSTALL WINDSHIELD.
