RECEIVED A LETTER IN NOVEMBER OF 2015 INFORMING ME THAT MY CAR (INCLUDED MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER, NOT JUST MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR) IS PART OF AN EXTENDED 15 YEAR/150,000 MILE GM SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM, 14423. DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS, MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND OFF REGULARLY, AND I HAD ALMOST $5,000 OF EMISSIONS WORK DONE TO MY CAR WHICH AT 12 PLUS YEARS ONLY HAS 73,000 PLUS MILES ON IT. BACK IN 2012,I WAS UNABLE TO PASS INSPECTION ON MY CAR BECAUSE MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON (02/2012) AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC. SOMETHING UNDER MY CAR MELTED (SAID IN SERVICE RECEIPT) AND COST ME $343.00 TO REPAIR. A WEEK LATER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN AND I TOOK MY CAR TO KERBECKS GMC IN ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. SERVICE MANAGER SAID MY CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED, BUT I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID OTHERWISE. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER AND AFTER LONG ARGUMENT, IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. RECEIPT DOESN'T STATE CAUSE OR WORK DONE. NOW I BROUGHT CAR BACK TO KERBECK AS THE SMELL OF GAS IN MY CAR IS PUNGENT. THEY SAID MY CAR HAD A CRACK IN MY FUEL TANK, COVERED UNDER 14423 AND SAID GM WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE IT AS A FIRE COULD OCCUR. ERBECK GAVE ME A LOANER FOR TWO WEEKS ON 12/31/20015. PART IS ON BACKORDER. GM TOOK MY CAR AWAY FROM ME ON 1/16/2016 AND SAID THEY WOULDN'T PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER ANYMORE. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR SINCE THE 14TH OF JANUARY, LIVE ALONE, AND HAVE NO MEANS OF GETTING AROUND. I CAN'T AFFORD A RENTAL. OPENED CASE WITH GM, CASE # 8-1759699353 WITH A WOMAN NAMED CARMEN WHO SAID IT WOULD TAKE OVER A MONTH AT BEST TO GET THE BACKORDERED PART IN. I NEED A LOANER AND A WAY TO GET AROUND. THE SERVICE MANAGER BOB INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND SO DID GM. WHY DID THEY TAKE MY LOANER AWAY LEAVING ME STRANDED ALONE AT 62 YEARS OLD. PLEASE HELP ME.

I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE BUT SAW NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF FOR A WHILE THEN BACK ON. I BOUGHT A SECOND FUEL CAP. HAD SAME RESULTS. NOW AFTER AN INTERNET SEARCH I FIND OUT THE FUEL TANKS CAN LEAK AROUND THE FILLER SPOUT ON THE TANK. I LOOKED AT MINE AND IT WAS SEEPING. BUT GM. WEBSITE SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

THIS CONDITION IS CAUSED BY CORROSION OF THE RETURN AND SENDER LINES OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE.WATER AND ROAD SALT COLLECT ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP LEADING TO SMALL PINHOLES APPEARING ON THE FUEL LINES.FUEL MAY LEAK AND COLLECT ON TOP OF THE MODULE AND/OR SPILL ONTO THE GROUND.THE DATA EVALUATED UNDER THIS INVESTIGATION REFLECT A RELATIVELY LOW FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE THAT LARGELY ARISES IN SALT BELT STATES.GM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE SUBJECT COMPONENT TO TEN YEARS OR 120,000 MILES.FURTHER USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WARRANTED AT THIS TIME; ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT NO SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT EXISTS.THE AGENCY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION IF WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES.FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SELECT DOCUMENT SEARCH.
