| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 60+ mph my high pressure oil line crimped fitting let go. when this happened i lost 5qts. of oil all over my front brakes, marking it very difficult to come to a stop. these fittings should never fail, but last the life of the vehicle. it is not a part that wears out from use and if so, 61,000 i think would be to soon? i have over the past two weeks tried to get gmc to respond to this as a serious problem, to no avail. i also explained to them that at 60 mph i could have lost both my power steering and brakes if the motor had seized do to lack of lost oil. no response. i also explained that the shop where i have my work done has had 4-5 of these failures in just the last 2 months and told them to contact my tech. to find out more, again no response. the other problem is when i lost all my oil at such a rapid rate i now have done some serious damage to my engine, which i feel could still seize. i feel they are responsible and are avoiding not only the damage to my engine, but the fact that this failure has happened 4-5 times at my shop. please feel free to contact me asap with more detailed info. their lack of customer concern, safety, and damage that this defect has caused is why i felt it was important that i contact someone who needs to address this problem. this engine damage could cost me a new engine thru no fault of my own.*ak |
