Tl* the contact owns a 1996 chevrolet corsica. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 mph, there was a fuel odor coming from the inside and outside of the vehicle. The failure occurred on a daily basis. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Our 96 corsica began to lose power off and on for several months. Sometimes it would stall. We had the car looked at and found an coolant leak. Coolant was leaking on the ground as well as into the head gasket. The mechanic said that this seems to be a common problem with this car and engine. *tr

I own a 1996 chevrolet corsica. It looked much older that a 1996, because there were many spots of paint thatcame off. You could tell that the paint failed. It must not have bonded to the car because the areas werenow rusting even though i put wax on there trying to prevent the spread of the failed paint. I do many things to keep the car looking good ,but the paint just slowly kept coming off. I didn't use car washes anymore because the paint came off when it was hit with the pressurized water. I have seen many other corsica cars around town that seemed to have this same problem. I didn't know the exact date but it started rusting more recently. The paint failed from the hood to the trunk. There were 22 large spots that was down to metal or turned to rust now. *ak

The paint is peeling off on my car. These spots are not small, but huge spots that have bubbled and come off for no apparent reason. I would like to know if there has been a recall on this since it appears to be a serious manufacturer defeat. Please contact me as soon as possible. *jb

(1) for over a year now my anti-lock brakes on 1998 chevrolet corsica have failed to stop the vehicle in rainy wet conditions. I cannot drive the vehicle when rainy or wet. The brakes catch and release repeatedly eventually causing the car to slide (this even happens when driving 10 mph). After the first 15 stops it will eventually begin to stop without doing this. But in the case of the accident i had been driving for 30 minutes and the car failed to stop. (2) i was driving 20 mph with 3-4 car lengths between myself and car in front of me. The brakes did not stop in time. I hit the vehicle in front of me. (3) i have taken the vehicle to the chevrolet dealer on 3 occassions for this problem. They keep telling me that there is nothing wrong with the brakes. They say that they are supposed to do that. If that were the case, we would all be dead. The first 3 years that i had the vehicle it did not do this, so obviously this is not what it is supposed to do. I even had the dealership sign a paper stating that he could not do anything to correct this problem, so that i will have when i do have to handle this in a legal manner. After driving the vehicle and experiencing the brake failure, my mechanic said that the brakes are dangerous but that he cannot find anything wrong with them when he takes them apart. Therefore he cannot fix it.*ak

Check engine light illuminated while driving at any speed. Dealer replaced differential sensor , but problem still recurring. *ak

The paint on my 1996 chevy corsica is peeling for no reason. May be the primer or paint defect most of the peeling is on the hood, roof, trunck lid, upper parts of all fenders. Some the areas are large. The problem started about 1 year ago. The paint color is green gray.

The head gasket cracked/broke. I smelt the anitfreeze and open the hood to see it dribble from the head gasket. The car dealer is fixing it for ~$800. The car is still young at 95k miles. Previously i have taken the car 3-4 time to check the temperature gauge, which never moves aboe the 1/8th mark. So i never got any indication that the engine heated up to lead to the gasket failure. This is unacceptable for such a low mileage. They had a recall for 1995 chevy/pontiac sister cars for the same issue, is what the dealer told me. Sounds like they are all related.
