Warranty Repairs on the Down Low?

[CapitalTruck]

Have you ever heard of a dealership fixing a problem that is scary like a gas leak and not wanting to tell the customer that it was repaired so as to prevent from causing a service campaign or recall? My sister thinks it happened to her with her Cruze. The thing was leaking gas like crazy, stayed at the dealership for a week "they couldn't recreate the problem". Despite it stinking up the whole service bay. After the week she got it back over our objections since they "weren't able to get it do to it" and it hasn't done it again. Could they have fixed it on the sly?

While i guess its possible to have a service bulletin that is on the down low (Toyota floormat zip tie fix), One incident at one dealer does not create a safety recall. Look at how many jeeps have burned to the ground for no good reason and still no formal recall.

I seriously doubt it. The liability for something like that is too big to risk. Plus after the Toyota fiasco the oversight on things like that has increased tremendously.

I know of a few '04 Corvettes (including mine) that had the fuel crossover pipe replaced for leakage on the downlow because the vendor knowingly provided a batch of defective parts to GM.
