| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There have been 2 fuel hose failures and 1 recent hose recall. i believe there was either a defective purchase of fuel lines or defective specifications for the early 95 model. the 1st failure was for porosity where the fuel seeped through the hose when it was cold but sealed after warmup. the company was notified but declined. i have a copy of the letter sent. the most recent failure was a 1/16 th hole in the line to the fuel injector. the engine compartment was bathed in 10 gallons of gas over 7 miles before stopping to investigate the odor. there was also a recall for the filler tank hose due to defective material. i suspect the defective material or spec was used for all fuel lines in the early 95 model. |
