Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a gasoline leak at the joint where the fuel line from the fuel tank sending unit join the fuel line that connects the fuel filtering front of the right side rear wheel. after discovering the odor of gasolione coming from the rear of the car, the only action i have taken is to take my vehicle to a buick dealer for diagnosis. even though the fuel line shows significate corrosion, buick has denied responsibility because of the mileage on this car. i have requested relief from buick thru general buick customer assistance only to be denied again,today, 10/19/2004. i have been told by buick that i am responsible for the cost of this repair (value between $400-$750). in my opinion, fuel leaks of any nature should not present an issue to the consumer for life of automobile. i am reqesting that the above information be added to your database in the event that this is not an isolated complaint.*ak
