My car was repaired by a dealership in Texas. First they said it was a fuel injector. They replaced that. Then they said that that didn't work so they said I had a cracked head. They replaced that. I brought it home to shreveport, la. And it had gas fumes coming of of the A/C vents. The dealership here in bossier city that they put in a broken part. They supposedly fixed the problem. I picked the car up and it still had gas fumes. I took it back. They smelled it. Kept it for 2 days. They couldn't find the problem so the kept driving it and running it until they couldn't smell it any longer. I picked it up again and I still smell it. I brought it back but they are denying that they do. Even lied to GM customer service that they rode around with me. I had a horrible headache when I returned home with the car. It's been parked for over a week. I am terrified to drive it scared it will catch on fire or my children and I will get sick. Please help me. I have tried working with GM but they are no help. They give me the run around. The mechanics have also lied so many times regarding my car to GM customer service. I need someone in my corner. I haven't been able the drive my car sine 5/16/2019. It went to the 1st dealership on 5/18/2019. I drove about a total of 1.5 since.

I was driving with my family in our new 2016 Buick Enclave when I went to pass someone on a city street and the engine went into full acceleration. I put my foot on the brakes as hard as I could but it did not stop the vehicle. I had to put it into neutral and turn off the ignition and coast to the side of the road. Luckly there weren't many cars around me at the time. I was unable to get the vehicle started right away and I notified on star sos and they notified the police. It was towed to a Buick dealer where they are looking at it now. This was an extremely dangerous and frightening experience for me and my family.
