My car has been to the dealer four diffefent times for fuel parts related failures. Jan. 15, 1999, the fuel tank sensor level was replaced. Nov. 3, 1999, the original fuel tank pump/kit was replaced. Manufacturer was notified and paid for parts but not the labor. June 1, 2000, my car was again towed in and the fuel tank pump/assembly kit was replaced. Aug. 15, 2000, my car was again towed and the fuel tank pump/sender kit was replaced. I picked my car on August 18, 2000 from the repair dealer at approx. 5 P.M., and an hour and a half later, my car had stopped running. I had it towed back to the dealer, but they were closed. I spoke with the customer service asst. Center, using the 1-800 number, and they were not very friendly nor did they want to give me any direction. It is suspected that my fuel tank pump has gone out again. Will have to wait until mon. Aug. 21, to talk to someone at the Pontiac dealership. Even though I purchased my car from the chrsyler dealership, all of my original warranty was on my vehicle. Plus each time I've had car in shop for these problems, they too, have been under warranty. I am looking into filing a law suit and have requested from the manufacturer that they replace my vehicle.
