2008 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

THE FUEL LINE ON MY CAR WAS LEAKING NEAR THE LEFT REAR TIRE. A SERVICE GARAGE REPAIRED THE RUSTED OUT METAL LINE WITH A 2 FOOT LENGTH OF RUBBER HOSE.

FUEL LINE IS LEAKING UNDER THE CAR AT THE FRONT OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE. I BELIEVE THE PURGE LINE IS ALSO LEAKING AT THIS LOCATION. A CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON FOR A PURGE SYSTEM LEAK.

I HAD DROVE VEHICLE ABOUT 6 BLOCKS TO GROCERY STORE. UPON EXITING CAR HAD A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. DIDN'T NOTICE ANY THING LEAKING. WENT INTO STORE. WHEN RETURNING STILL SMELLED GASOLINE AND NOTICED A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL ON DRIVER SIDE UNDER REAR SEAT AREA. STARTED VEHICLE AND FUEL POURED ON GROUND AS IT IDLED. WHEN RUNNING, ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP PUTS LINE UNDER PRESSURE AND FUEL CAMP OUT LEAK. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD BOTH FUEL AND VAPOR LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH. HE SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO FIX A LOT OF HHRS AND COBALTS. HE SAID THE DESIGN RETAINS WATER IN THE AREA UNDER REAR SEAT MAKING THE LINES RUST OUT AND CREATING AN UNSAFE SITUATION. REPAIRS TOTALED $565.39 THIS FAILURE WAS DESIGNED INTO THE VEHICLE BY THE ENGINEERS. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOT A FIRE AS THIS IS CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

BOTH FUEL LINES WERE RUSTED AND LEAKING BY DRIVER REAR WHEEL .DEALERSHIP REPLACED BOTH LINES CAR WAS DOWN FOR FOUR DAYS. VERY DANGEROUS CHEVY COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB WITH THE LINES.NOT RUNNING THE FUEL LINES BESIDE THE EXHAUST! AND NOT HAVING A WRAP TO HOLD IN MOISTURE.

STRONG SMELL AND PUDDLING WHEN PARKED INDICATING FUEL LINE LEAKAGE AT REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE AREA (JUST IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRE). UPON REPLACEMENT THE FUEL LINE WAS DISCOVERED TO BE CORRODED.

FUEL LINE HAS RUSTED AND STARTED LEAKING FUEL JUST IN FRONT OF DRIVERS REAR TIRE. NOTICED ONCE VECHILE WAS PARK. I SAW A PUDDLE AND SMELT THE AROMA OF FUEL.

WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR THE BRAKES GET HARD AND GO HALFWAY TO THE FLOOR BUT ONCE IT WARMS UP IT WORKS PERFECTLY
