Consumer Description

WENT TO MY DAD'S. PARKED IN GARAGE. MY NIECE LATER COMMENTED SHE SMELLED GAS. WE CHECKED FURNACE, THEN WENT OUT TO GARAGE TO CHECK THE CAR. WE FOUND A SIZEABLE PUDDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN FRONT OF THE LEFT SIDE REAR WHEEL. I BACKED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE. LATER WE NOTICED A SOFTBALL SIZED PUDDLE UNDER MY CAR. LATER I CONTACTED A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY COBALTS AND HHRS, THAT I SHOULD HAVE IT TOWED AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD I DRIVE IT AS HE COULDN'T GUARANTEE I WOULD HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN. WHEN WE NOTICED THE FUEL WAS LEAKING, THE CAR WAS PARKED.
