Consumer Description

I have a 2009 Chevy HHR with only 62k miles. Recently while driving out of town there was a strong gas odor in the car all the way home. We had also parked the car in a relatives attached garage leaving a gas odor. When parked at home a puddle of gasoline formed under the car. The fuel leak was from corroded fuel lines on the driver side in front of the rear tire. Upon inspection both supply and return fuel lines were corroded in an approximate 5 foot span. This fuel leak put us at risk of fire and also the entire garage/house where the car was parked. I contacted General Motors about the problem and was told to take it to a dealer for service. I asked General Motors for assistance in the cost and they said it would require a diagnostic by the dealership. I contacted the dealership and was told I would get no assistance per General Motors PET equation.
