I got the letter too. I took my car to the GM dealer here in Cali I bought it from. The lead sevice writer told me to wait. Said he will call me when he can deal with the issue and be totally free. Whats up with that? I still have GM extended warranty from when I bought December 06.

 

sad thing is my car started leaking bad and according to GM my vin doesnt match the ones on there list so I have to get it fix even though I live in the freaking desert of cali

 

I am having this exact some problem but cannot have the recall covered since I don't live in one of the recall states.

I plan on filing a complaint with the National Highway and Safety Administration at 1-888-327-4236. If enough of us call we may be able to pressure GM to cover this recall nationwide.

 

I agree 100% I actually live in Ohio and it was very hot this summer and now my fuel pump needs fixed because its leaking really bad and at my expence..I Dont know how weather effects it but ok..How can it just be in certain state??I dont get it!!

 

Gm ******* sucks
Makes me want to get something other then gm

 

Seems to be a lot of plastic parts on those cars

 

I'm surprised that they didn't come with plastic lug nuts.

 

haha plastic lugnuts! i had this problem and said mine wasnt covered because of the year. i have an 09. now they are opening a recall for 08-10 also! >:0

 

On the recall notice it mentions that there will be a check engine light. Does anyone know what codes this throws?

 

I had to have mine replaced on my 06 LSJ about a month ago. I never saw a check engine light but it was pretty much spewing fuel underneath the car and it was really hard to start after it sat for a while.

 

That's how mine was
No CEL but hard starting and my garage smelled like fuel.

BTW: I guess I'll have to go back into hiding, aperently the Zombie thread apocolyps isnt over...



At least I didn't raise this thread zombie

 

Have any Canadians been successful with the recall (that's apparently not a recall for those in the colder climates)?

I find that I get a strong smell of gas but only after I fill up my tank...

Transport Canada is "aware" of the recall but have been convinced that it only applies via VIN# and to those where there is a sustained temperature above 45*C or something like that.

Kind of silly if you ask me, but I've also been told that it's something that needs to be determined by GM since there isn't anything official applicable to those of us up north...

so I'm wondering if anyone's had success at any particular dealers in or near Rob Ford Country

 

Has anyone had "Jackie" run their vin? Special coverage 12191....unlimited mileage unlimited year for fuel odor or spottonig on the ground. they will replace fuel sender. If you already had it done they will reimburse. been on cobalt 06-09. amongst others. dunno if i'll get in trouble running the vin.. ill have to check. hope I don't get in trouble for this..lol

 

Getting trouble for what, telling us something we already all know? I can run anyone's VIN with GMVIS also and tell you the same info, it's nothing special or top secret.

 

lol...I like my job. seeing as I haven't seen anyone say go to a dealer and they will fix it for free or reimburse if you already had it done I don't want to step on any toes. all these posts shold be taken care of one way or another....right? that's all. gm is a corporate thing you know..they don't like you selling "warranty work"...... work at a dealer?

 

I bought my car in Illinois, and shortly after moving to Texas I got the recall notice. So they do in fact send you one if you move.
