It all started woh phen the fuel pump modules failed and the car would turn on but turn right off and I was told it was the fuel pump modules when I had it diagnosed. Now it leaks out a lot of gas in four different spots under the car on passengers side. When we parked the car we started noticing this 4 months ago.”

Took to nearest dealer who charged $140 diag fee to tell me the fuel pump was bad - well, duh! The issue correlates to the ECM being recently traded out. …”
