Seems to me searching online its a common thing to have the gas tank crack. There are a bunch of recalls already for the car one including the fuel system but they will only replace the gas pump which had to be replaced because it was defective but wanted to charge over 1,000 for the cracked fuel tank which by the way how does that happen on a pretty recent car and I am not alone. The smell its pretty strong and I am sure its not safe been looking for one through junkers because I cant afford the 1000 for something that came defective.

The vehicle started smelling like gas, but I didn't notice any puddles or leaking. I took the vehicle to a mechanic who confirmed there was a leak near the fuel pump, and had to replace the part right away due to the potential fire hazard. After doing some research, it appears this vehicle did have a recall in a few states nearby for a faulty return port on the fuel pump, which could cause a fuel leak. Based on this information, and the potential for fire and/or injury, I feel additional investigations are warranted into vehicles located in other states.

I attempted to get a tx vehicle inspection and was advised there was a gas leak. I took the vehicle to Firestone and they stated it was the fuel pump which they replaced and charged me $600 for parts and labor. I googled the issue afterwards and found there had been a recall for this problem, but when I contacted GM, they stated my VIN was not included in the recall. I just think it's strange that I am seeing others with this same issue being told the same thing about VIN specific. Is it not possible some vins were left out?
