I AM HAVING THE FUEL LEAK/HEAVY VAPOR SMELL ON THE KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE MODEL CAR THAT IS REGISTERED IN AZ, CA, AND VARIOUS OTHER HOT CLIMATE STATES.

I TOOK THIS INTO MIDWAY CHEVY IN HOPES THAT THEY WOULD REALIZE THE SAFETY ISSUE THIS KNOWN PROBLEM PRESENTS, HOWEVER I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS MY PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE MY SPECIFIC VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THE LIMITED RECALL WITH THE FUEL PUMP. GM NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND ISSUE A REGIONAL RECALL AND I HOPE THAT A SERIOUS INCIDENT DOES NOT HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE THE REALIZE THE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR
