I reported this back in 2016-1-28 ref.no.10822806 gas line corrosion problem, do to muffler right under gas lines and gas line up in pocket where heat and moisture cause early corrosion(poor design). GM had go me to a dealership and confirm corrosion problem (wanted 750 dollars to fix). Talk to rep.for GM, mentioned I felt poor design and protental safety =may cause fire. Did have fix at garage for 200dollars. Now corroding again after 2yrs. This confirms gas lines in pocket up above muffer traps heat and mositure causeing corrosion. Please advise company does not want to listen to me and I can't afford to replace gas line every 2yrs.. feel strongly about poor design and GM should be responsible. Fire hazard this is same car that had key problem, steering problem, gas line problem at tank and gas pump, yet they don't want to listen, help help help!!!!
