FUEL PUMP LEAKING GAS WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY

WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH GETTING OFF EXIT 100 OFF OF ROUTE 81, THE POWER STEERING TO THE RIGHT WASN'T WORKING, BEING VERY HARD TO TURN. AS I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL A LITTLE TO THE LEFT, THE STEERING LOOSENED AND ALLOWED ME TO TURN RIGHT VERY SLOWLY. I RETURNED TO DRIVING AS THE STEERING SEEMED TO BE WORKING PROPERLY AS A FEW TESTS IN THE PARKING LOT INDICATED THAT IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY. FORTUNATELY, I MADE IT HOME BUT AS I TURNED TO THE STREET TO TAKE ME HOME, I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK FROM THE FRONT. AS I TURNED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, I HEARD THE CLUNK AGAIN. I LET THE CAR SIT OVERNIGHT. WHEN LEAVING THE NEXT MORNING, THE STEERING WHEEL, NOR THE TIRES THEMSELVES, WOULD TURN TO THE RIGHT AT ALL! THE STEERING MOTOR HAD BEEN REPLACED BY A RECALL AND THEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE REPLACEMENT 3 YEARS LATER! I HAD TO HAVE THE TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH ONLY 15,000! NOW I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO IT. IT WASN'T A HORRIBLE CAR AND IT DID WELL, BUT SEEING ALL THESE POSTS MAKES ME THINK THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT THEY TURNED A BLIND TO.

TWICE NOW I'VE LOST ALL POWER TO MY CAR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I CAN NOT REMOVE THE KEY, THERE IS NO POWER TO ANYTHING. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AFTER THE 1ST TIME. EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN.

THE CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS. WHEN TRYING TO START IT H3SITATES. ONCE STARTED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS OVERWHELMING. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SMALL DROPS OF GAS DROPPED. TURNED OFF CAR AND IT STOPPED. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE WE DIDN'T SEE OR SMELL ANYTHING. THEN TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR WAS POURING OUT THE GAS FROM WHAT LOOKED LIKE A CLAMP. THE PROBLEM IS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE! WHEN WE GOOGLED THE ISSUE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME ISSUE!! ONE RECALL SAID CARS WITH THIS LEAKAGE THAT WAS REGISTERED IN CERTAIN STATES WERE COVERED YET OUR VIN WASN'T . NOT ONLY A PRODUCT ISSUE BUT A DESIGN ISSUE. PLEASE LOOKL INTO THIS IS DANGEROUS. TO MANY PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD 1000.00 TO FIX AND ARE TRYING FIX IT IN THEIR OWN. THIS WILL COST SOME PEOPLE THEIR LIVES OR SOMEONE ELSE'S. COMPANIES SHOULD NOT DETERMINE WHICH VINS THEY RECALL THE MAKE YEAR AND MODEL.SHOULD BE FIXED 100 PERCENT. NHTSA SHOULD REGULATE THIS. NOT COM0ANIES!!

YESTERDAY, MY FIANCE'S SON ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HIS CAR. UPON CRANKING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT IN GEAR TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, HE DISCOVERED THAT HIS POWER STEERING WAS INOPERABLE. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. IT BEGAN OPERATING AGAIN. I AM CONCERNED THAT DRIVING HIS VEHICLE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS HAPPENING IS CLEARLY UNSAFE. I'VE RESEARCHED IT AND SAW WHERE GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM BUT THERE AREN'T ANY OPEN RECALLS TO CORRECT THE DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT.

WHILE DRIVING, MANY TIMES THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE CAR BECOMES STIFF AND HARD TO TURN. TO BRING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO ITS FREE-RANGE MOTION, THE IGNITION HAD TO BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT BECOMES STIFF, THERE IS A SHORT BELL AND THE LIGHT NEXT TO THE SPEEDOMETER READS "POWER STEERING". THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON AND OFF. THIS FIRST HAPPENED 1/15/17 AND IS STILL AFFECTING THE VEHICLE. DRIVING BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS IN SITUATIONS SUCH AS HIGHWAYS AND HEAVY- TRAFFIC AREAS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE TURNING IN BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

ON 11/04/2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00 PM I RETURNED TO MY CAR (IN PARKING LOT) AFTER WORK TO GO HOME. I STARTED CAR AND "POWER STEERING" APPEARED ON DISPLAY. I COULD ONLY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL BUT 1/2 AN INCH. I PANICKED AND CALLED TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO CLOSEST AUTO PART STORE TO MY HOUSE. IT WAS THERE THAT I FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR DOES NOT TAKE FLUID; BUT IS ELECTRICAL? AN ASSOCIATE OF AUTO PART STORE LOOKED UP HOW TO REPLACE IT; IF THEY COULD EVEN DO SO AND THEN FOUND THAT SIMILAR PROBLEMS WERE REPORTED OF TOTAL LOCK-UP OF WHEEL (PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING). A WEBSITE WAS RECOMMENDED TO LOOK UP VIN # TO SEE IF POWER STEERING WAS RECALLED. OF COURSE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS, SO I MUST WAIT UNTIL MONDAY (NOV. 6TH 2017). I HAVE ORIENTATION ON THIS DAY (EARLY IN THE MORNING) AND CANNOT TAKE MY CAR IN. I DO HOPE MY WHEEL DOES NOT FREEZE UP ON THE FREEWAY! I MUST NOTE THAT WHEN I STARTED CAR UP AGAIN FROM AUTO STORE THAT IT DID NOT DISPLAY THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" AND IT DROVE THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT HICCUPED A BIT BEFORE STARTING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ANYWHERE NOW FOR FEAR OF THE STEERING FREEZING UP.
