Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Impala

Drove car to work, parked 3 min later customer comes to my job screaming to call 911 because a car is on fire, I came out and was mine. After the fire department put the fire our, they suspected that a fuel line was licking, I went to a website to find 2 recalls on my car that I was never made aware of, this one was back in 2001, and I purchased the car from a chevy dealer on 2002, and was service by them several times. Now Chevrolet only wants to pay $2,000. 00, because I did not buy an extended warranty as required by the state of florida, I contacted the general state attorney for the state and his office said that this was not true.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Impala. While the vehicle had been parked for seven minutes, the contact was notified that her vehicle was on fire. The vehicle was completely destroyed. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign id number 01v136000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping); however, the contact never received a recall notice. The representative added that because the contact did not purchase an extended warranty, she would only be reimbursed $2,000 for accrued vehicle damage. The contact has not yet received any assistance. She has access to obtaining supporting documents. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The battery on my 2001 chevy Impala was dead, so I put a battery charger on the battery and when I went to start the car, nothing happened. I waited 2-4 minutes for the battery to charge and tried to start it again. As soon as I turned the key, the intake manifold exploded into about 10 pieces throughout my garage. Luckily no one was hurt. I had the car towed to the local gm dealership today and am still waiting to hear from them.

Consumer took vehicle in for recall #01v136000/ manufacturer's recall 01035 repairs. Consumer was not satisfied with the remedy of recall. Called dealer, and talked to service representative. The technician was advised that this remedy was the only one specified by the manufacturer and was properly completed by the dealer, the dealer did not install a brake master cylinder bracket that will maintain positioning of the fuel line in a frontal crash as promised in the recall.
