Hello, my camaro has had a gas leak from the gas tank/filler neck for several years now. About three years ago, I went to the chevrolet dealer and they recognized that it had a problem, but couldn't figure out how to fix it under the old recall that 'appears' to have expired. However, this is a safety issue. The camaro has been sitting in a garage for the last several years due to safety concerns. I was speaking to martin wheeler at gm customer service center who said he could not find a manager to speak with me (they were all occupied). I have been directed to mail paper correspondence to the following address: general motors po box 33170 detroit, mi 48232-5170 thanks, robert wilkes
There is a strong odor of gas coming from my 1991 camaro. After doing research into the problem, I became aware of a recall (#92c36) for this vehicle covering the fuel filler neck/tank soldier joint(may 24, 1994). I went to palm chevrolet and called chevrolet customer service, only to be told that "no vehicle identification number or associated open campaign information matching my VIN was found." I asked if the work was done to this car and they said they could not tell me since they only keep records for 10 years. The # is . I know this is an expensive repair and also it makes the car very unsafe to use as well as releasing fumes inside of the attached garage which would be considered unhealthy. My question to you is what recourse do I have to get this problem addressed, or should I hire an attorney?
