Noticed the car has trouble starting. I have to press on the gas to get the engine to turn over. I noticed a leak and smelled gas but wasn't aware of the problem. I had to drive to my Dad's funeral 130 miles away from home. A mechanic looked at the car and said the whole fuel line from front to back was rusted and that it was a bad design.
My CAR HAS ONLY 60,800 MILES on it and the fuel line system is completely rusted and leaking gas. The smell of gas is VERY STRONG. This was extremely inconvenient because I was 128 miles away from home and could not get the car towed because it would have costed $700, so I took a chance and drove it home in fear at any moment the gas tank would empty and possibly catch on fire.
THE MECHANIC SAID THE FUEL LINES WERE IN A VERY DIFFICULT PLACE TO GET TO AND MAJOR ENGINE PARTS WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACED THE LINES AND COULD COST ABOUT 2,000. THANKS A LOT CHEVY. He said Chevy makes such cheap parts so they could keep charging us for repairs.
The mechanic said it was leaking in the rear drivers side as well as in the front. I do live in the East Coast, Pennsylvania. This is the first major problem I've had with this car. I hope it is not an indication of future problems. I don't know where to get parts or where to get this fixed for a reasonable price. However, one complainant mentioned LINESTOGO.COM. He purchased OEM fuel lines for the HHR LT 2.4; that was in May of 2018. I will try there next. I agree this should be a recall.
Seriously, BUMMED
