When started and moved out of garage on march 1 there was a steady stream of fuel. The enclosed picture shows puddle of fuel under car after keying-off after the 40 foot move. Prior to garaging the car I contacted Chevrolet about the very common leak and was told to call my local dealer, all to no avail. I've been waiting to hear if the july 2020 NHTSA investigation will turn into a recall. When will a ruling be available? …”

NHTSA complaint #10594082, filed 2014-05, 148,967 miles“After the recall on the ignition switch and the key fob no longer worked, I started having problems with the drivers doors not locking properly. Several times I locked it and went on only to come back and not be able to get into car with the key. It took awhile for me to figure out that I have to watch the latch when I lock it and if it does not go down all the way, I have to unlock and lock again and pull the latch up and then lock the driver door from the outside. Always parked and out of vehicle. There is not just one date this happened. I have had to call for assistance to get in.”
