| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving vehicle noticed strong gasoline odor. with engine running a fine mist of gasoline was shooting across engine compartment from a pinhole in a plastic fuel delivery line (high pressure?) near the fitting connecting it to the metal fuel rail line. (fuel rail was replaced 6/05 under recall #04014) neither the leak nor the pinhole is visible when engine is not running. extreme fire hazard! vehicle currently at gm dealership for replacement of fuel lines (lines marked non-repairable) (repair estimate approx $500). web search revealed numerous similar complaints. contacted olds customer service and was told that there was nothing they could do due to the age of the vehicle. appears to be a high-hazard situation that could easily result in property damage, injury and/or death. *nm |
