“I have had my 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier for almost 5 years now; in feb. 2003 I had to pay 321.25 to have an ignition switch replaced in my car (which was an recall issue); I asked martin burks Chevrolet on forest park parkway in forest park, ga if the ignition problem was a recall issue and bob allen, the auto part service manager lied to me and stated that it was not a recall issue, so I paid $321.25 for repair service to find out a year later that the ignition system problem was a recall issue. …”

“When the weather began to warm up last summer my car started to have problems starting. I would turn the key and my engine would turn and turn but not fire correctly. After a few tries, it would finally start up. I didn't think any thing of this problem at first, but after a while it started misfiring like this quite freqently after the weather began to get really warm and humid outside and I had previously driven my vehicle that day. I have had all the recalls fixed on my car, including the recall for the ignition switch, but this problem with starting my car still persisted. …”

“The gas gauge is going haywire. It pegs to the f , and then immediately pegs to the e , even though the tank is half full. The gauge then jumps around the middle form one side to the other side.

“Dt: the contact stated she there was a crack in gas tank. If the contact filled the tank 3/4 full the tank leaked. The mechanic said it was a crack in the top of the tank. She noticed this a while back. She always kept tank full. But when gas prices went up excessively she could not afford to fill it up. When gas prices went down, the contact filled it up again, and that was when the tank started to leak. Had not hit anything that would have caused a crack.”
