“Fuel system,gasoline:storage tank assembly.NHTSA id #00v309000. Spoke to a person today and they said that my cae is not one of the affected vehicles in this recall. I have this car almost 7 years and never received a notice of this. How can I make sure that my car is not affected I feel that I will get a hard time if I ask them to inspect to make sure. Also gave them my VIN number to verify to make sure. Please help!”
NHTSA complaint #10298191, filed 2010-01, 77,000 miles“Car will turn over and immediately stall. This will continue for approx. 10 to 15 min.each time you turn the key,it will turn over and immediately stall. As if there is no gas going to the fuel injectors; or the fuel injectors stop . No mechanic can seem to find the problem since it never happens when I'm at the repair shop. Like I said when this problem happens, it will last for approx. 10 to 15 min. Then the car will start as if nothing ever happened.”
