I WAS TOLD BY A NEIGHBOR THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE REAR BOTTOM OF THE CAR. I CAME HOME AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE GAS LINE NEXT TO THE MUFFLER.THE VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

Mileage: 113,000

THE FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED THROUGH DUE TO YEARS OF THE WRAPPING AROUND THE FUEL LINE GETTING WET AND NOT BEING WATERPROOF MATERIAL. IT'S COSTING 900 TO HAVE FIXED. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE UNDER 100,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND GET ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE ON TIME....

FUEL LINE IS UNSAFE AND FIRE HAZARD. NOTICED A LEAK AROUND REAR DOOR. THE LINE IS MADE OF CHEAP STEEL, NOT SOMETHING LIKE STAINLESS STEEL AND NEXT TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. COULD CAUSE BOTH A FIRE AND EXPLOSION. THIS IS A RECALL REPAIR FOR GM.
