15 Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox

Failure Date: 10/01/2011

Have had my 2007 Equinox since 2009 with a few problems. Stabilitrac light coming on. . . . A/c not turning on. . . . Window washer fluid not spraying. But today, out of nowhere, a gas smell. No visible leak, just the smell. After seaching on line and seeing numerous complaints about the same problem, I wonder, do I try and find out the problem through a mechanic and probably spend a fortune or wait to see if a gm realizes there is a problem and wait for a recall.
