I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 8/26/11 AT GREENWAY CHEVROLET IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA AT 87K MILEAGE. I SMELL GAS COMING FROM THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL AREA AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DAVID MAUS IN SANFORD, FLORIDA ON 5/1/12 TOLD THEM TO CHECK VEHICLE FOR THE SMELL AND TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS 99883. THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG TO MAKE THE GAS SMELL. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE SCENT GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER THEN I WITNESS GAS VISIBLE LEAKING SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO DAVID MAUS IN SANFORD FOR REPAIR. THEY THEN CONFIRMED THE FUEL PUMP LEAK.SO I HAD TO REPLACE IT. I ALSO CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE FIRST TIME TO ADVISED OF THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION, AND THEY ADVISED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ITS CONSIDERED WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN CHEVROLET EQUINOX FUEL PUMP SO I CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE/VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL. I ALSO OPEN A CLAIM WITH THE BBB (BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU) WHICH CONTACT GM ONCE MORE AND THEY CALL ME AND ADVISED THAT I WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY REIMBURSEMENT, NOT EVEN UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP LEAK SHOULD INCLUDE MY VIN# [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
