The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Part number 12703596 that feeds the fuel line has an L bracket that holds the line in place. This bracket is secured to the CylinderbHead on the driverside of the vehicle. The bracket separated from the fuel line at the weld creating a hole. This caused a fuel leak. This fuel leak sprayed fuel down the backside of the engine towards the exhaust. Luckily I did not cause a fire.

Exhaust-Piece that holds exhaust together has come loose twice now. Dealership confirmed the cause was due to a poor manufacture weld. The dealership has replaced the exhaust once, and this time the manufacturer is only agreeing to pay a portion of the cost. It was replaced less than two years ago and the car is driven less than 12,000 mi a year. Safety issue- because the piece that holds the exhaust together is welded on poorly (please see picture) and easily falls off. This is also a serious health hazard because when there are cracks in the exhaust fumes are inhaled. I would appreciate it if NHTSA would investigate this issue, as my next step is to file a lemon law claim.

I have a 2018 camero that I bought brand new. I keep up my service on my car. One day I noticed a smokey smell when I crank the car. The car started to hesitate to start at times. I took the car in for service about 3 weeks ago and showed them the engine light sensor was on and told them my car wouldn't start for about 3 hours. The service tech told me it was my battery. I replaced the battery and the car drove fine but I still smelled fumes when I crank the car and sometimes when driving it acts like it wants to shut off. On 8/25/2020 my car wouldnt start again. I had it towed to bomin Chevrolet and was told that my fuel pump went out. I'm not understanding how a 2018 new car that's not two years old fuel pump goes out.I researched for recalls and I noticed 11/21/2019 a recall was issued for Chevy camero due to fuel pump issues. Please know that im not trying to get out of paying for repairs if that's need be. I just would like an investigation please. I know of two other friends that had the same issues with their camero. Right now at a time like this doing this pandemic and out of work I cant afford to pay $1200 in repairs if its a possible defect. Please help me!
