The contact owns a 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora. The contact stated that fuel spilled out from the filler neck while refueling. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the VIN failed to qualify for the recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 03v238000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 147,473 and the current mileage was 147,673. Updated 03/15/12 updated 03/23/12.
The vehicle would not start properly. So I took my Aurora in to have it serviced and found out it was the fuel tank pressure sensor, which then I was told this defective part could have caused a fire. This sounds like a very unsafe part and I looked the part up and found out that it had been recalled at one point, just not on the my make of vehicle. Something needs to be done about this before someone gets killed.
I have a 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora with a v6 engine that has the same system as the v8. The fuel tank pressure sensors are unusually susceptible to malfunctions.
