FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS FUMES FROM MY CAR LATELY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME MY GAS LINE RUSTED THROUGH. I EXAMINED THE LINE AFTER REMOVAL AND FOUND THAT CHEVROLET THE MANUFACTURE PLACED A FLEXIBLE INSULATED HEAT SHIELD AROUND THE GAS LINES NEAR THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THE 12 INCH SHIELDING HAS A CORE THAT HOLDS MOISTURE. THIS MOISTURE OVER 7 YEARS RUSTED OUT THE LINES ONLY UNDER THIS COVER. THE REST OF THE LINES LOOK PERFECT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER AND COULD HAVE STARTED A HUGH FIRE. THIS TELLS ME THERE ARE A LOT OF AUTO MOBILES OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS COST ME $800.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE THESE LINES REPLACED, BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN. THE GAS LEAK IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE EXHAUST PIPE.

AIR BAGS
WE HAD OUR BATTERY REPLACED IN OUR VEHICLE NOVEMBER 15, 2016. SINCE THAT TIME OUR "SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG" LIGHT HAS COME ONE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC ON 3/3/2017 AND HE REPORTED THAT WE NEEDED A NEW MODULE THAT WOULD CORRECT THE SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT. WE DROVE OUR CAR HOME AND BEFORE WE EVEN GOT HOME THE SERVICE LIGHT HAD RETURNED. WE TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AND THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN AND SAID WE NEEDED A NEW SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK AS WE ARE WONDERING IF THAT WILL JUST REQUIRE ANOTHER ELECTRONIC FIX. DOES THIS EFFECT THE SEAT BELT WORKING CORRECTLY? IF SO, I THINK THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR. THE CAR WAS NEVER DAMAGED, AS I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM THAT SAME DEALERSHIP. WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER THIS REPAIR, THE DRIVER'S DOOR DID NOT CLOSE. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO OPEN THE BACK DOORS, IN CASE THEY DO NOT CLOSE. BESIDES THE HUGE AMOUNT OF STRESS AND FEAR, I WAS CHARGED APPROXIMATELY $330.00 FOR EACH DOOR. I FEEL THIS WAS A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD WHEN THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL.
