3 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2010

When I park my 2004 Buick Rainier in my garage there is a strong smell of gasoline which is getting worse over time. I went on the internet to research and ultimately found that the 2004 gm envoy (sister vehicle) had a recall due to a similar issue and that gm confirmed in 2008 that the 2004 Buick Rainier fuel line can rust and cause this condition. Although I understand gm extended the warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles there was no notice to consumers that I am aware of. My truck is 9 years old but has 128,000 miles. I will go to the dealer this week to see if they can help. Historically the dealer has been less than helpful with problems as I did not purchase the vehicle from them. Being unemployed I would rather fix my truck at this time as a new car is not a reasonable solution. Any suggestions you can offer to help me would be appreciated.
