What 1993 Chevrolet Corsica owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Car starting stalling and smoking. Then accelerator went to the floor of the car. Black smoke starting coming out, then flames. Car destroyed. Firemen and police said it was electrical.
While driving 55 MPH vehicle stalled in traffic. The dealer stated that transmission malfunctioned.
While making a left hand turn vehicle was impacted on the passenger side at 60 MPH. Upon impact, passenger's side seat belt unfastened, and passenger sustained injuries.
I drove the car approximately 3 miles, I pulled in to a parkings spot, turned off the engine, and exited the vehicle. I walked across the parking lot (about 20 yards) when I heard someone say "that car is on fire!!!!" I turned to look and noticed that it was my car.according to the fire department, when they put the fire out the first time, it flared back up due to the fuel pump still pumping gas out. (the keys were in my pocket).
Firewall fractured where the rack and pinion mount , causing serious steering difficulty.
Firewall that steering is mounted to had rusted, making it impossible to steer vehicle. Contacted dealer, parts could not be replaced.
My car is modified to run on gasoline and natural gas.
The fuel pressure regulator failed were as the diaphram had a major leak causing gas to be pumped through the diaphram directly into the throttle body. Gas poured out of the throttle body and filled the air cleaner housing full of gas. Gas was dripping from the throttle body were the duct connected and leads to the air cleaner. This gas leak was leaking onto the crossover over exhuast pipe. The gas streamed out of the vacuum port of the regulator at a good rate only when the ignition was switched on and the pump came on for approximatly 5 seconds. The car was repeatedly tried to start and the ignition was cycled over ten times. Each cycling of the ignition pumped over a cup of gas into the aircleaner. The car did not have a heavy gas smell until I lossened the screws of the aircleaner top and gas poured out all over the elecrical components below. This car showed no problems before this happen. The car was being driven on the highway and when my wife got off and stopped at the intersection the car quit. I feel this type of failure was extremly dangerous and could have been worse.
Firewall where steering rack is mounted has broken away from vehicle, causing loss of vehicle control. Please give any further details.
