NHTSA Complaint #702637 — 1996 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY ADVISED OF THE EVAPORATIVE PURGE SOLENOID AND CHARCOAL CANISTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT AS CARBON MONOXIDE WAS LEAKING. WE HAVE A WARRANTY AND THEY REPORT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IF GM HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME PARTS IN MANY OF THEIR OTHER CARS THEN WHY NOT THIS VEHICLE. THE CADILLACS, BUICKS, CUTLASS AND OVER 400,000 VEHICLE THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM IN THE CAVALIER AT NO COST TO THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. WE JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO AND PURCHASED THE WARRANTY FOR 1,000.00. THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED.MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED HER FIRST VEHICLE JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND NOW IT HAS A PROBLEM THAT THEY SAY SHE WILL NEEDS TO PAY FOR. I THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY WE PURCHASED AND SHOULD BE RECALLED JUST LIKE THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY DAY TO ANSWER OUR CONCERNS. YVETTE HOLLIS AND AIMEE HOLLIS. *AK
