2 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2004

On December 24, 2004 in the evening my vehicle which is a 2000 chevy Monte Carlos would not start at the mall. My husband and I proceeded to try to get the vehicle to start. However, it didn't start. We the vehicle try to start after trying to start it "back fire" causing the upper manifold, the engine cover, gaskets and oil cap having to be replace. We had the vehicle to be towed to our home. Then, we had charlie jones, of jones mechic and heavy equipment to come and look at the vehicle. He stated that because we continue to try to start the vehicle fuel in the lines build up causing the vehicle to back fire. Well after we got the vehicle repair we receive a recall notice from chevy telling customers of a fuel regulator which is faulty and can cause the vehicle to back fire when battery is low. Exactly what had happen to my car. How ever if though chevy acknowledge the default they denied to pay me back my expense. Their recalls states everything that would happen to my car. I'm just so upset because I found out that although the battery was low the car shouldn't have back fire if it wasn't for the recall part.
