Chevrolet HHR gas leak from line over muffler, recall issue not resolved on Chevrolet HHR

Some Chevrolet HHR owners report experiencing gas leaks from the fuel lines located over the muffler, raising significant safety concerns. These leaks, often attributed to corrosion of the metal fuel lines, can lead to fuel dripping or pooling near the exhaust system, even in low-mileage vehicles. Some owners have noted heavy dripping rates from the rear driver side, resulting in costly repairs for rusted fuel lines. Despite the severity of these issues, there have been instances where recalls have not been issued, leading to federal investigations similar to those involving the Chevrolet Cobalt. Many owners express frustration over the lack of comprehensive solutions, as the leaks often cause fuel puddles and odors, particularly near the left rear wheel well. The absence of action has left some owners surprised that such dangerous conditions have not prompted recalls or EPA involvement.
