Developed fuel leak above left side tank coming from known faulty fuel pump connector elbow at top of tank. Extreme gas fumes prevent parking in garage for fear of vapors igniting causing an explosion. Can not rule out possibility of drips or spray hitting hot exhaust. Will be seeking repair asap as this is not safe to drive or park in enclosed environment.

THE CAR IS IN NEW SHAPE AND GARAGED. THIS IS A DEALERSHIP. WHAT AN EXCUSE. GM HAS BEEN OF NO HELP AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS FAILED/REFUSED TO DO THE RECALL WORK.
