About 2 weeks ago i started smelling gas around and in my vehicle. After researching the data base i see that is not uncommon and i am very concerned as to why this is not being recalled.

The fuel pump module was leaking fuel, as discovered by my mechanic. The pump had to be changed at great expense. Why has this problem not been addressed across the board for equinox, instead of selective state registered as mentioned in the gm recall ? I could have had a potential fire had i not detected fuel fumes when i did. Thank you, *tr
