safty recals should not expire, ask the dealership for the phone number to their GM representative, and see what they have to say.

yea... there was a recall... GM always tries to deny you sevice on anything that is more than a few years old. I used to smell gas on my car too, even from the inside. Turned out that the gas cap almost always went on slightly crooked, after playin with it for a while I figured out how to put it on straight, which helped a little bit, but then I just bought a new gas cap with a seal that was a little bigger and it wasn't really a problem after that.
I wouldn't even bother with GM. But if you do... I would ask for the field service rep. anybody else won't know crap or will tell you the can't help you.

k ill try that but when i called gm they used the last eight of my vin and said they show no recalls or service bullitens for my car period that nothin came up in the system...that seems a little odd to me that they have not one thing in there about it. and i told them i could give them the number on the recall and they said they could only look up stuff w/ my vin..its pretty damned annoying

that's what they always do. notice how they will only say "I do not show any open bulletins in our system", or they say something to that effect. they never say that there were no recalls. i've tried to get them to say it... the always talk around it. this is how they legally turn you down for service without openly lying to you. they will only help you if you pressure them into it on issues this old.
