My car would not start so I had it towed to the dealership where I was told the fuel pump needed to be replaced. I later received a call advising that the value around the fuel pump had melted and they did not know why except something must have gotten to hot under the engine. Problem is this is connected with the fuel pump. I call in report and was told eventually engineers would investigate but there was there may or may not be a recall issued. If part melting under the hood that are connected with fuel pump doesn't demand a recall what will another death or fire. Come on GM, get real. Angry customer.
