HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE OIL SENDING UNIT, THE COMPONENT THAT INDICATES THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IN THE VEHICLE, FAILED.

I HAVE A 1998 CHEVROLET CORVETTE WITH 79,000 MILES ON IT. THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL SAYS THE FUEL FILTER NEVER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DEVELOPED A SERIOUS LEAK ON THE OUTLET CONNECTION ON THE FILTER. IT HAPPENED AFTER I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THERE WAS NO MORE FUEL PUMP PRESSURE. GAS JUST POURED OUT AND RAN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE GAS TANK, SOME DRIPPED ON THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE CONNECTION THEY USE APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE. I AM A MEMBER OF THE CORVETTE FORUM AND A FEW OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD FUEL PUMP LEAKS ALSO. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR A PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM TO LEAK LIKE THIS. I WAS LUCKY THE CAR DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE OR EVEN EXPLODE. THE GAS TANK APPEARS TO BE MADE OF SOME KIND OF PLASTIC. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE REGARDING THIS FUEL FILTER. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER. THE OLD PART IS AVAILABLE. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN O-RING INSIDE THE FILTER TO PROVIDE A SEAL. *TR

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL HOURS, EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILDS IN THE GASOLINE TANK. PRESSURE IS HIGH ENOUGH THAT GASOLINE IS JETISONED FROM THE TANK. A PERSON UNAWARE OF THIS SITUATION COULD BE SPRAYED WITH GASOLINE. IN ADDITION, WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN HOME GARAGE, GASOLINE FUMES ARE EXCESSIVE. SINCE PILOT LIGHTS FOR WATER HEATER AND FURNANCE ARE ALSO LOCATED IN GARAGE, THIS COULD LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION. *LA

204V060000 · Steering:column LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT Device
Feb 9, 2004
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCK SYSTEMS (ECL), WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED TO "LOCK," THE ECL SYSTEM PREVENTS TURNING OF THE STEERING SYSTEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE ECL UNLOCKS THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED SO THAT IF THE COLUMN FAILS TO UNLOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND THE CUSTOMER TRIES TO DRIVE, THE FUEL SUPPLY WILL BE SHUT OFF SO THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT MOVE WHEN THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STEERED. IF VOLTAGE AT THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE IS LOW OR INTERRUPTED, HOWEVER, THE FUEL SHUT OFF MAY NOT OCCUR AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE ACCELERATED WHILE THE STEERING SYSTEM IS LOCKED. ALSO WHEN THE CONTROL SYSTEM SHOWS THAT THE ECL IS UNLOCKED AND THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE LOCK PIN LOCATION CAN VARY. DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE LOCK PLATE RELATIVE TO THE SWITCH TRANSITION POINT, THERE COULD THEN BE CONTACT BETWEEN THE LOCK PLATE AND PIN CAUSING THE STEERING TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING .
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE DEALER WILL DISABLE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK BY REMOVING THE COLUMN LOCK PLATE. WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS REMOVED, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WILL LOCK BUT THE STEERING COLUMN WILL NOT LOCK. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE DEALER WILL REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, PERFORM A DIMENSIONAL CHECK OF THE COLUMN LOCK AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LOCK PLATE. THE STEERING COLUMN ON THESE VEHICLES WILL CONTINUE TO LOCK WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED. OWNER NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS OF 1997 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS BEGAN ON APRIL 26, 2004. OWNERS OF 1998 THROUGH 2004 VEHICLES (EXCEPT 1997-1998 MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES) WILL BE NOTIFIED BEGINNING ON AUGUST 2, 2004. THE REMAINING OWNERS (1997-1998 MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES) WILL BE NOTIFIED LATER IN 2004, WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438.
