Consumer Description

BATTERY KEEPS DYING AND KEY IS STUCK IN IGNITION. HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING BATTERY EVERY 8 MONTHS WHICH ARE BRAND NEW 5 YEAR BATTERY. FUEL LINE WAS REPLACED BUT STILL STRONG ODOR OF GAS AND ROTTING FUEL LINE AGAIN. SAFETY HAZARD! THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS?? VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME SO I CAN ONLY PUT ONE DATE IN HERE. SOMETHING IS ALSO WRONG WITH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME AFTER DIAGNOSING WITH MY MECHANIC AND HAVING IT TURNED OFF. WHY ISN'T GM DOING ANYTHING TO HELP US?
