awesome! lol the hole in my pocket will be smaller haha thanks again man!

 

See, i told you post up faggy

 

do you want a cookie? lol

 

Actually yes I'd like that. Macadamia nut please.

 

The recall depends on what area your car is registered in. The dealership didn't want to honor it for mine

 

i got my fuel pump replaced under the 60k power train warranty.. it all started with the end cap regulator thing on the end of my fuel rail ($80 part) which made it have enough pressure again to make the fuel pump fittings start to leak.. i was lucky i took it in with 59k miles on it otherwise it would have been about $500 bucks with parts and labor

 

So I went to the dealer and the dumb **** with horrible customer service said my car wasn't eligible.. hmm lets see car shows the same exact symptoms as the recall and my car is registered in AZ just as the recall states wtf else do they need? lol Seriously **** general motors, the government should have let them fail!

 

go to another dealer and see if its the same story

 

call GM directly and report that dealer. it doesn't cost them anything so i don't know why they give people such a hard time. GM pays for everything

 

Yeah I don't get it! They don't want peoples business I guess.. I'll have to call GM today then and see what they say..

 

you wanna know what they did for my recall? they wrapped rubber rad. hoses around my filler neck. didnt replace ****, i went under to look. i still see minor rust and i only did it about 2 months ago. if it was new there would be no rust... does anyone know wtf they actually replace?

oh nvm i just read above

 

ooo I get those at subway, there good

 

Its suposed to be the fuel pump modeual.
When I took mine in, they dropped my entire gas tank. I didnt watch them do the whole job but I saw at one point they had my gas tank down and on some kind of cart

 

my car is leaking gas at the tank, it pop out the p0442 and some times have said that check gas cap.
a friend of mind check it and said that it had a crack
does this fall under that recall??

 

I think so ya,
Thats where the Fuel Pump modual is. Mine had a hard time starting and would not hold fuel pressure. When I looked under the car it was leaking down from the back sdie of the fuel tank area

 

something like that is my leaking problem, but my car start fine

 

**** yes.

 

I just did the shet my self cuz GM said they wouldnt do it free. Just another reason why I hate GM sometimes

 

Glad you got it fixed at least. Report them. You should have gotten a letter in the mail about it. I had to dig mine up lucky i kept it when mine had the problem.

 

guy at my work bought a super low 07 ss/sc from oklahoma (we are in kentucky) had it shipped to them, has like under 12,000 miles,.....had this problem, he went to fix it himself, buying the new part and put it on, found out after searching online their was the recall...dealership ended up reimbursing him the money for the part (whole new fuel pump i believe)

 

Does the recall still take effect for restored/savaged branded cars?

 

it's a federal recall, they have to do it no matter what

 

I went to another dealership and they told me the same thing.. its bs man, GM never recalled my vin even though it should have qualified.
