Consumer Description

FUEL TANK CROSSOVER TUBE HAS A CRACK. I FOUND A SPECIAL COVERAGE #10150 THE NHTSA ISSUE IN AUGUST 2010, BUT HAS EXPIRED. I CONTACTED GM AND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE, TO WHICH THEY REFUSED. MY CAR HAS 20K MILES ON IT. I HAVE PERFORMED ALL MAINTENANCE, KEEP IT METICULOUSLY CLEAN AND NOT DRIVE IT RECKLESSLY. IF I FILL UP THE CAR THERE IS A NOTICEABLE FUEL LEAK TO THE POINT THERE IS A PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR. AT THIS POINT I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF FIRE AND THE CAR WILL NOT PASS AN EMISSION TEST. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN ALASKA IN 2009 WITH 9K MILES ON IT. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFO REGARDING THE NHTSA #10150 SPECIAL COVERAGE. THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF REPAIR IS BETWEEN $3000 TO $4500. IS THERE ANY ASSISTANCE THE NHTSA CAN PROVIDE?
