The headlights have failed to work 4 times on the vehicle.due to this failure at night the driver had to hold the brightest on while driving until they also failed which could have resulted in an accident while trying to find somewhere safe to pull over.the dimmer switch has been replaced 4 times since i bought the vehicle and i am told by the previous original owner that it had been replaced at least one other time while in their possession.this seems to be a big problem that renders the vehicle either inoperable at night or unsafe to drive for risk of the part failure again.*la

When the diaphram fails it allows fuel to pump past the throttle valve into the rubber air intake hose on through to the air cleaner housing and then on to the ground. At any oneof these it can ignite and result in a fire as did mine. This regulator and another similar one are used on several gm vehicles. I know of two other vehicles that have had this part fail, luckily without a fire. I am sure i am not the first to lose a vehicle to this componants' failure resulting in a fire. I also am concerned of the great potential for personal injury. I hope you will take an active roll in correcting this dangerous condition.

The paint on my vehicleis very wornis actuallywornoff not flakedoff butwornlike a sanding of some sortnot on all of the vehiclebut mostly the roof hood are the most effected.please confirm if there was ever a recall on this problem.thank you
The paint started bubbling and then coming off in several places on the car, beginning with the hood. I feel there should be a class action against gm because i see many corcicas with the peeling paint. I wonder what kind of cheap or defective paint they used on these cars? they all have the peeling paint from 1989 thru 1996.
Gray paint peeling from front fenders.
I know this is not a safety defect, but maybe you can help or lead me in the right direction. My car is gray and it is peeling bad. I think that it should be a recall because my car is not the only chevrolet painted gray that i've seen was peeling. It's really bad on top of my car where the dew of the morning time makes go down my back windshield making hard to see out of. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, melissa ann gullett
