ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BATTERY KEEPS DYING AND KEY IS STUCK IN IGNITION. HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING BATTERY EVERY 8 MONTHS WHICH ARE BRAND NEW 5 YEAR BATTERY. FUEL LINE WAS REPLACED BUT STILL STRONG ODOR OF GAS AND ROTTING FUEL LINE AGAIN. SAFETY HAZARD! THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS?? VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME SO I CAN ONLY PUT ONE DATE IN HERE. SOMETHING IS ALSO WRONG WITH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME AFTER DIAGNOSING WITH MY MECHANIC AND HAVING IT TURNED OFF. WHY ISN'T GM DOING ANYTHING TO HELP US?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND SAW A HUGE PUDDLE OF FUEL DRIPPING DOWN ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. ONE OF THE LINES RIGHT AT THE FITTING INTO THE FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED. THEY HAVE THIS ALREADY RECALLED, BUT ONLY IN 15 STATES AND MINE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. I WANT CHEVY TO ISSUE A 50 STATE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR COULD OF CAUGHT FIRE AND I COULD OF DIED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE FUEL FILTER TO THE FUEL RAIL IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE METAL TUBING RUSTED OUT AND CRACKED. THEY NEED TO BE STAINLESS STEEL NOT POT METAL. THEIR IS NO RECALL ON THOSE FUEL LINES, BUT I READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS ONLY VIDEO OF IT DRIPPING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAKATA RECALL THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WITH MY CAR IS THAT THE LOCKS KEEP UNLOCKING AND LOCKING AND WON'T LET MY CAR STARTUP. IT LOCKS ME OUT AND WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE SWITCH IT WON'T CRANK AND THE ONLY WAY THAT I'M ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE SWITCH IS IF I JUMP IT OFF. I WAS AT HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED PARKED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP OR MODULAR AND THEN ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON. THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO GO OFF EVEN WHEN THEY DID THOSE REPAIRS, THEN ONE DAY THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED TURNING OFF AFTER MAKING A TURN. THE NEWEST PROBLEM AND THE SCARIEST ONE TO ME IS NOW A GAS LEAK. I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY CAR, STARTED TO REVERSE AND THEN SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I STOPPED AND NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE ACTUALLY GOING DOWN. SO I SHUT THE CAR OFF HURRIED UP AND GOT MY KIDS OUT AND THEN SAW THE GAS POURING ON THE ROAD FROM UNDER MY CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE PROBLEMS THAT I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR. CHEVY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. IT'S THEIR CHEAP MISTAKES. THE ONLY REASON I HAVE CONTINUED TO KEEP THE CAR IS BECAUSE IT BELONGED TO MY LITTLE BROTHER WHO DIED IN A TRAGIC CAR CASH WITH HIS PREGNANT FIANC AND MY FATHER. SO I HAVEN'T WANTED TO PART WITH IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS RECALLS FOR SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS ON OTHERS BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. HOW IS THAT RIGHT? THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS AND THEY NEED TO FIX EVERYTHING CORRECTLY THIS TIME. I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN AT THIS POINT.
