| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1998 gmc sonoma pick up with 4 cylinder automatic transmission. the fuel line mounting bracket located on the bell housing rubbed a hole in the fuel line allowing gasoline to drip on the hot exhaust pipe. it took three dealers and a couple of months to find the leak. general motors stated this was normal wear and refused to repair or assist in repair with estimated cost of $400-$600. this leak presented an extreme fire/explosion hazard. i have never seen or heard of a gas line rubbing through on any vehicle. there is no way this is anything but a design/manufacturing problem. *jb |
