Summary of Complaint
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. HE INFORMED ME THAT MY PREMIUM EXTENDED WARRANTY (FACTORY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED SINCE 36,000 MILES) DOES NOT COVER THE WORN THROUGH FUEL LINE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT CAN HARM THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THE SAID SCREW CAN WEAR ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FUEL LINE AND CAUSE GASOLINE TO LEAK ONTO A HOT COMPONENT SUCH AS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, CAUSING A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND HARMING OR KILLING PASSENGERS IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS BYSTANDERS AND SERIOUSLY DAMAGE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROPERTY. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WILL LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND SUGGEST THAT CHEVROLET ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM. THE LIVES OF MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE AT STAKE, AS MANY OWNERS MAY NOT KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO COMMENT ON CHEVROLET'S EXTENDED WARRANTIES WHERE THEY WOULD NOT COVER SUCH AN ITEM. I WAS EXTREMELY DISPLEASED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY FUEL LINE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF MY LIFE, THE LIFE OF MY PASSENGERS AND THE LIVES OF ANY INDIVIDUALS AROUND MY VEHICLE IF MY VEHICLE MAY CATCH FIRE OR EXPLODE WHEN THAT FUEL LINE BECOMES RUPTURED FROM A SCREW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *AK
