1997 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED LAST YEAR FOR MY DAUGHTER. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY TO START, THE KEY WAS LEFT IN THE START POSITION A FEW TIMES TRYING TO GET STARTED. WE NOTICED A SPARK COME FROM THE COLUMN AND NOTHING. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH DOING THE SAME THING AS I STATED ABOVE. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR RECALL BECAUSE NOW THEY ARE STATING THE LOCK CYLINDER MECHANISM IS BROKE AND THEY CANT GET INTO THE COLUMN WITHOUT BREAKING IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT NOW THAT IT IS FAILED THEY WON'T FIX THE CAR. *TR

HAVE HAD FUEL LINE, AND FUEL PUMP REPLACED. STILL GET A STRONG SMELL OF GAS.... CAN NOT GET RID OF THE ODOR. THERE IS NOT A GAS LEAK THAT IS VISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE BUT THE SCENT STILL LINGERS INSIDE AND OUT. *TR

CALLED TO HAVE RECALL NUMBER 07E015000 AT DELPHI. PAUL (CUSTOMER SERVICE REP) CLEARLY WOULD NOT LET ME HAVE THE RECALL., AFTER ANSWERING ALL THE QUESTION. *TR
