I started smelling fuel, as the week progressed the smell grew intensely unbearable, before taking my kids to school one day I decided let me take a look under the hood after all this is gasoline we are taking about. So I saw that the fuel line to the fuel rail was a little wet so I turned on my car and a mist of gas was spraying out the hose. I never realized how much of a risk I was putting my kids in by driving with that fuel smell. There should be a recall on that, its not safe.

A tragic accident fortunately did not occur. The engine cradle subframe mounting washers on both sides rusted through. My mother (75 years old) was driving the vehicle while turning. The engine cradle dropped down preventing her to steer the vehicle. Had there been another vehicle close she would have driven directly into it. She was extremely scared and shaken. This is such a small item that is potentially dangerous especially at normal driving speed. This should have been fixed by gm or we should have been notified of a potential accident. This does not appear to be a single vehicle problem. Thank you.
