Consumer Description

RAW GASOLINE FUMES UPON STARTING THE CAR . FUMES ENTER THE CABIN SO STRONG THE WINDOWS HAVE TO BE ROLLED DOWN . NO APPARENT LEAK. NO FUEL ON GARAGE FLOOR. THIS BEGIN IN =FEB 2013 AND CONTINUES OFF AND ON. SOME TIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT WOULD EXPLODE IF A IGNITION SOURCE WAS THERE. A DEFINITE HEALTH HAZARD AND GM DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE FUMES. I SEE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL AND NO SAFETY BULLETINS. 2004 HAD A RECALL BUT NOT 2005, IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNLESS PROBLEM IS FOUND.
