I ATTEMPTED TO GET A TX VEHICLE INSPECTION AND WAS ADVISED THERE WAS A GAS LEAK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE AND THEY STATED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP WHICH THEY REPLACED AND CHARGED ME $600 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AFTERWARDS AND FOUND THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED GM, THEY STATED MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
