| After my vehicle starts moving, the fuel gauge rises to show that the fuel tank is at least 2/3 to 3/4 full. this is especially true when the tank is less than 1/4 full. currently, the only way i can be reasonably sure how much fuel is in my tank is to reset the trip odometer every time i fill up. i read in the newspaper about similar occurrences in 2005-2007 chevrolet trailblazers, gmc envoys, buick ranier, and saab 9-7x vehicles. the article went on to say that nhtsa is currently investigating the incidents. it is difficult to say when this fuel gauge behavior started on my vehicle, the deterioration has been gradual. however, it has become so bad now that i really do not trust the reading on my fuel gauge. | |||

| This concerns the gm recall of the 3800 series engines. people are still having engine fires after having their cars fixed by the dealership. there's a fuel line leading into the fuel rail that has a quick disconnect. inside the quick disconnect is an o-ring that after so many year's gets brittle and cracks. this can drip fuel on hot parts of the engine. what eventually catches fire is all the plastic and rubber parts of the engine not necessarily the fuel itself as that is just a catalyst. i personally know of a person that this has happened to even after having the recall items fixed. i found this information on a grand prix forum that i'm a member of. i'll include the link to the post. this is eye opening and i hope you can take this seriously. here's the link and it's very detailed:http://www.grandprixforums.net/f81/could-this-causing-all-engine-fires-30008.html. *tr | |||

| Major window failure, only one window works, and too expensive to fix. my car has 70,000 miles and i have had fuel pump failure, total radiator failure, and two heat exchanger failures resulted in radiator fluid all over passenger side floor due too cheap crimps on heat exchanger which requires a hugh dash dismantle to fix, window failure, dash heat and a/c control failure. the car gets driven 11 miles a day to work and back and we have put $1000's into this piece of crap. dealer and manufacturer could care less and want this website removed. no one is willing to do a thing. will be switching brands asap to dodge or chrysler. *jb | |||

| A month prior to the fire my car smelled like there was some kind of leak. smelled like gas. on february 10th, 2008 my 2002 pontiac grand prix gtp caught on fire and was totaled. i found this summary on a local website, summary: certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, p/nos. fp10020-11b1, fp10026-11b1, and fp10027-11b1, sold after january 9, 2007, as aftermarket equipment for various passenger vehicles listed above. the universal pressure regulators (upr) were produced without an o'ring and retainer. consequences: fuel may leak, possibly resulting in a fire. i am pretty sure that i am a victim of this o'ring failure. i am without a car and $2,000 in the debut because of this fire. i would like some answers and some results. *tr | |||

| I have a 2002 pontiac gtp that the engine caught on fire. they said it was a leak from a fuel line. i know there was or is an investigation going on since last year about this problem. i was wondering what was going on with the investigation and when it would be resolved. thank you. scott taylor *tr | |||
