Gas cap failure in normal use on 1994 pontiac firebird formula (v8 engine ). (1) threaded portion of gas cap, part that threads into the filler tube, became swollen thru normal use (exposure to normal gasoline vapors), to the point where the cap wouold no longer thread properly and seal. (2) since the cap could not be properly threaded into the filler tube, the gas tank lost proper presurization/vacuum and this affected gasoline vapor recovery from the tank and ultimately, while the engine was running, from the vapor canister. gasoline vapors were present in my garage. since the seal was not contacting the filler tube, there might have been some possibility of gasoline spillage in the event of a rollover. (3) replaced the cap, driveability and gas mileage increased. can no longer smell gasoline in my garage. this could be a problem in that the gas cap, made of some sort of plastic is affected by normal gaoline vapors (this would include the methanol additive that is found at most gas stations now-a-days). the plastic swells to the point that the cap is difficult to thread into the fiiller tube, consequently, when hearing the "three clicks", it is a false tightening and the seal does not make contact with the filler tube. since the seal does not make contact, dirt and other contaminates work their way under the seal and further deteriorate it.  view

Windshield wipers do not work all the time. i was in a bad rainstorm last night and had to pull off the road because we couldn't see anything. scary - this is a potential big law suit for gmc if anyone dies in an accident due to this common complaint. my gmc mechanic revealed that this happens on almost all gmc jimmy's, yet there is no recall to replace the defective part to date. transmission - slipped badly. i paid to have it replaced and sometimes it still slips. this transmission repair shop said that this is common with the jimmy, as well as a faulty gas gauge, faulty ball joints and oxygen sensors. i did have to replace the oxygen sensor, but i consider that normal repairs.  view

The vehicle spare tire could not be release from the storage area under the rear bumper of the consumer's van. while driving, the rear left tire shredded to pieces. when the consumer attempted to changed the tire and replace it with the spare, she discovered the spare tire would not move from its location. the consumer was told that after a few years the spare rusted up inside the storage area. the service department lubed and used a grease gun and the spare came out just like it was supposed to and went back in as well.  view
