Fuel leak by drivers side rear wheel spraying on exhaust system discovered while car was idling in drive way

Last week, I noticed fuel leaking out from the bottom of my vehicle on the rear passenger side in my driveway after returning home. I had my vehicle towed into a local shop to get looked at. The shop informed me that my entire fuel line assembly needed to be replaced. They stated that the metal assembly has rusted and corroded over time. At the time of this writing, my vehicle is still in the shop awaiting to get fixed. It is available to be inspected upon request. There are no warning signs on my computer system prior to this. This leaking fuel could have put myself and my family at risk for harm due to the fire risk.

The fuel line has corroded near the driver rear tire and is leaking fuel near the exhaust pipe. The leak is bad enough to create a 12 inch puddle in less than 30 seconds.

I work two jobs just bought my 2011 Chevy hhr just over a year ago and started getting reduced engine power light and then lose power and have trouble going over 20 struggles to get to 40 MPH I have 3 young children that ride with me and there safety is number one and if I can't trust my new vehicle then how can I trust Chevy. *tr

Gas leak under car drivers side near the front of the rear tire. Replaced fuel lines. Puddles of gasoline underneath car and strong smell of fumes.

Both front inside door handles broke off on separate occasions. The only way out was to lower the window and open from the outside. The situation could be an extreme hazard should the vehicle be on fire or under water. What if in a cold climate the window was froze? What if the vehicle was in an accident and wouldn't start therefore the window wouldn't work. What if a elderly person or a child was in the passenger seat and was unable to lower the window and open from the outside? Internet research shows numerous other incidents of the same problem. The potential for life and death is likely, not to mention nearly $600 for repairs. Vehicles are equipped with door handles for a purpose.

In 2016 the rear passenger door latch failed. Thinking it was a natural wear & tear type thing, we ordered parts online and re[paired it ourselves for about $100 With in 6 months something inside the door failed, we opened it up and thought we repaired it again, but something is wrong and it just wont open. Has not opened in over 5 years, but I can live with it. after all it is the rear passenger door. In 2018 the front passenger door latch failed and again we ordered parts online and repaired it ourselves for about $100. In 2019 the spring inside the front passenger door broke, but since the door still opened & locked, we let it ride. I can live with the interior door handle feeling loose as long as it still opens the door. In June, 2021 the front drivers interior door handle broke

This complaint concerns the mechanical failure of the vehicles drivers side, rear door latch. On november 12, 2015, after picking up my dog from the groomer, I placed her into her carrier, located behind the drivers seat. I closed the door, and proceeded to drive out of the parking lot. As I began to pull out, onto the roadway, I glanced at my outside rearview mirror, and noticed that the door had partially opened.

I purchase the vehicle in february 2013 with 54000 miles on it. There was a shaking in the front end while braking. I was insured at the dealership that it was because it has new brakes and if it does not stop bring it back and they will fix it. I brought it back and they rotated the rotors. It worked well for about two weeks. The rotors started shaking again after only two weeks. So I brought it back again and they put new rotors on the vehicle. It has started again with the new rotors. This time it started with in a month. My car while breaking will sometime feel like there is ice under it on dry roads.

In colder temperatures my car sputters when accelerating and rpms jump quickly from 2 to 3 and then back down. In addition, the radio may turn off, all dash gauges (fuel, speed, rpms) go to 0, various service lights come on (not always the same) and then everything goes back to normal. Car works fine in warmer temperatures. Took it to the dealership in 2013 and when plugged in there were reports if 20 things wrong and they were unable to determine the problem and said it would cost thousand to check all of the issues being reported. I contacted gm customer service and although they were very nice they weren't able to help determine what the issue with my vehicle was. I took it to another service place and while they were unable to determine the ultimate problem they put dielectric gre
