FUEL PUMP HAS DEVELOPED A HAIRLINE CRACK IN ELBOW BEND THAT CAUSES GAS TO LEAK ON TO MY GAS TANK AND RUN DOWN ON TO MY EXHAUST WHICH MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE A FIRE WHILE I AM DRIVING SINCE IT IS A HIGH PRESSURE LINE AND HITTING MY EXHAUST.

CAR IS LEAKING GAS, EVERY TIME YOU OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR YOU GET HIT WITH A PU GENT ODOR OF GAS AND THE FUEL HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE LAST DRIVING IT

THE VEHICLE ENTERED THE ON RAMP TO I-5 FROM THE SHASTA DAM BLVD, SHASTA LAKE CITY, CA. AS MY GRANDSON APPROACHED THE 90 DEGREE CURVE TO MERGE, THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE, WENT OFF THE PAVEMENT WITH BRAKES ENGAGED AND STOPPED IN THE GRAVEL MEDIAN. CALLED GM PONTIAC, THEY ARRANGED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AS IT WAS A RECALL ITEM. PART #22837369. AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE, GM DECLINED TO REPAIR IT, BECAUSE THIS ITEM HAD BEEN REPLACED ON 3/18/2015 WITH A 12 MO. OR 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. MIND YOU THIS CAR HAD TRAVELED FROM HAWAII TO THE STATE'S TO A DEALER. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED THE CAR. AT 3 WEEKS OF OWNING THIS CAR THE STEERING WENT OUT. THERE HAD ONLY BEEN AROUND 4,000 MILES ON IT WITH THE NEW PART. SHE HAD PURCHASED THE CAR JUST 7 DAYS AFTER THE 12 MONTH WARRANTY, APPARENTLY IT'S WHATEVER COMES FIRST THE 12,000 MILES OR 12 MONTH. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. MY GRANDSON COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR WORSE. THIS STEERING ISSUE RECALL IS A RECURRING EVENT WITH THIS PART. I RESEARCHED AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS AS WELL WITH THE NEW RECALL PART. THIS PART NEEDS TO STAY ON THE RECALL LIST #14772. THIS NUMBER HAS CHANGED FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL #14416 ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST THAT GM GAVE ME. GM REPLACEMENT PART #22837369. GM NEEDS TO HONOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART.

JUST BOUGHT THE CAR A FEW WEEKS AGO, STARTED GETTING A CLUNKING NOISE FROM FRONT END/ STEERING WHEEL. WENT BACK TO DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED CAR AND THEY DID NOT FIX ISSUE. WENT THEN TO GM DEALER AND HAD THEIR SERVICE CENTER CHECK IT OUT, SEEMS THE STEERING SHAFT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL FROM GM BUT APPARENTLY MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL BUT IS INCLUDED IN SOME OTHER RECALLS. MY CAR FALL WITHIN THE PARAMETER'S OF ALL THE OTHER RECALLS (MANUFACTURER DATES, YEAR, MODELS) SO I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN ANY/ALL RECALLS.
