Developed fuel leak above left side tank coming from known faulty fuel pump connector elbow at top of tank. Extreme gas fumes prevent parking in garage for fear of vapors igniting causing an explosion. Can not rule out possibility of drips or spray hitting hot exhaust. Will be seeking repair asap as this is not safe to drive or park in enclosed environment.

We got the fuel pump leak repaired.we cant enjoy the car if the top doesn't work.it doesn't make sense to pay for something if you cant enjoy it.

Brake-automatic transmission interlock often fails to allow shifting out of park. Brake light fuse & switch are operational. Transmission shift lever solenoid does not click/release when brake pedal is depressed. This results in a car that cannot be moved.

I have visited the dealership twice and going on the third time and they have failed/refused to fix the problem. This is in regards to a emission system recall. GM set up an appointment, I showed up and they gave me the run around and said they could not work on the car. Called GM and complained and set up a second appointment and I showed up again and after two hours was told to come back on another day as they could not loosen the bolts. The car is in new shape and garaged. This is a dealership. What an excuse. GM has been of no help and the dealership has failed/refused to do the recall work. I have tried and lost two days trying and going on three. Please help. I visited the dealership on Oct 17 and 31st.
