While driving oil line came apart and dumped oil all over the engine. The oil line was replaced. Then, transmission line came apart and dumped transmission fluid all over the engine. Transmission line was replaced, but problem recurred. The cause of the both lines coming apart was undetermined.

While driving transmission leaked fluid, and vehicle lost power. Consumer managed to pull over to gain control of the vehicle. Dealerships mechanic was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

Oil cooler line: the metal tubing in the lower oil cooled line rest on top of the steering gear assembly. A hole wore through the tubing due to being in direct contact with the gear box causing complete loss of engine oil while driving, loss of braking on driver side (due to oil spray on brake rotor) and near seizure of engine. I stopped on the side of the road to prevent major damage to the engine and possible fire in engine compartment. As of this writing I am still not aware if any occurred (engine damage).

Transmission went out at 61,000 while driving on highway @65 miles per hour, just quit on the highway, GMC wouldn't stand behind it, transmission shop rebuilt it and found a crack in the case due to it not cooling properly, had to put a larger cooler unit in the truck to handle the transmission for this truck. Timing belt went while going down the highway @65 miles per hour, everything locked up on the truck power steering, brakes and just died in the middle of the highway. Both situations very dangerous.

I am unsure of the engine question. The information that I have is that it is a 4. 3 liter v6. This problem has occured 3 times . It has occurred approximatly every 15000 miles. The first 2 times the transmission lines have been replaced under warranty. I have yet to get it replaced this time for I am still investigating my warranty coverage and this recent occurence. Obviously, something in the structure of the vehicle or the line is defective. I have spoken to several mechanics ( dealer & private businesses), all say that this is a part that should never break, and are surprised that it has. Any information you can provide would be extremely helpful and appreciated. Thank you, t. Muir.

Transmission oil cooler line failure on two occasions due to vibration wear at a quick disconnect fitting in transmission, failures caused oil leakage on hot components causing smoke and possible fire hazard. - mjs.

Transmission fluid line cracked, causing fluid to spray over catalytic converter.

Transmission leaks fluid. At time of incident, all transmission fluid had leaked out and transmission seized while driving on the highway. Was replaced by opel deal(nearest gm affiliate, we currently reside in germany, usaf). With in 2 months the same problem occurred. Still not fixed. Having problems contacting someone here to repair it. This problem could have possibly cause an accident and injured someone.
