Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start and noticed a huge puddle of gasoline on the floor. The contact discovered that the plastic for the fuel tank was separated from the capping. The contact stated that the brake lines had been replaced twice but the failure was recurring. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

I have a 2004 chevy Colorado crew cab 4x4 with the z71 off road package. I ran over a stick about 3/4" to 1-1/2" in dia. And it broke the fuel line (that is pvc not metal). I think gm should look at this more closely as it is a major hazard on the road. I notified gm on Monday 12-01-2008 and they said that, could not have happened. Well it did happen and if it happened to me I am sure it has before and will happen again. Please let me know how I should proceed with this major road safety hazard. Thank you, randy schmidt.

1. Road debris cracked the plastic connector where the plastic fuel line comes out of the plastic fuel tank. . Brand new, 2004 chevy Colorado (860 mi. ) stopped running. After 3 days, traded in for a 2004 Nissan xterra. 3. No parts available even from the factory in detroit.
