“There is a fuel line which runs over the #1 coil pack in my 1998 Camaro z28. There are two screws which hold down the #1 coil pack. One of the screws has a cone shaped top, and the fuel line runs directly over this screw. After changing my spark plugs and inspecting the fuel line, the screw on the #1 coil pack has worn through the insulation and part of the fuel line. I went to bud allan Chevrolet in hayward and talked to george rodriguez, a service consultant and informed him of this problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #724834, filed 2000-07“The contact owns a 1998 Chevrolet Camaro z28. The contact stated that she had to replace the fuel pump five times within four months. The dealer could not determine why the fuel pump continuously failed. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle could potentially experience electrical failure, but the dealer verified that this did not occur. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were less than 85,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10259953, filed 2009-02, 85,000 miles“Nylon line was pinched when car was assembled resulting in a fuel leak which progressed over months until fuel was dripping onto pavement. Leak was sufficient to cause fire and a substantial amount of pollution. Manufacturer had no TSB nor warranty coverage. This was a dangerous failure which was difficult to catch.”
NHTSA complaint #755705, filed 2001-12“1998 z28: have experienced fuel pump failure (replaced by dealer circa june 99) also, experiencing an erratic fuel gage...reading fuel for a lengthy period of time, then suddenly drops to less than 2/3. Intermittent horn function: complete horn failure; however, if you shut the engine off and restart horn will work. Front rotor warping repeatedly. Manufacture denies there is a problem, says driver is overheating brakes. I believe the problem is rotors are poorly designed. Also found if you don't drive through water when rotors are hot that this will help. Slow acceleration after cold startup. …”
