Consumer Description

I TOOK MY HHR IN ON 10/04/2019 FOR BASIC WORK, AND WAS INFORMED ON THE LEAK IN MY FUEL LINE. I DIDN'T HAVE IT FIXED AT THAT TIME DUE TO HIGH PRICE. I SAW THE NEW REPORT FROM THE DETROIT FREE PRESS ON 7/7/2020 ABOUT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATING COMPLAINTS OF FUEL LEAKS IN OLDER CHEVROLET HHR. I BELIEVE MY HHR FALLS UNDER THIS. I WAS QUOTED ROUGHLY $800-$1000 TO HAVE THE LINE REPLACED. I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING CHEVY SHOULD RECALL AND PAY TO HAVE FIXED AS A LEAKING FUEL LINE IS VERY DANGEROUS. I ALSO THINK THIS LEAK HAS AFFECTED MY LEFT REAR TIRE SENSOR SINCE IT IS NEAR THE ROOT OF THE LEAK AND WOULD STOP AFTER 15-30 MINUTES.
