general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet silverdo. The contact stated he observed fuel leakage from the under carriage of his vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000. Lb.

There was a very strong gasoline smell with the vehicle running. While looking for the source, I noticed fuel spraying out under the passenger side of the vehicle. The dealership determined that it was the high pressure fuel line that was leaking. I do not know if this is a deign flaw, a defect in the part or poor workmanship, but it could have had serious consequences if the fuel had ignited, which was possible with the pressure and volume of the leak. It was replaced without charge due to it being a "safety factor". The truck is not driven in extreme conditions. I had not run over anything, and cannot think of any reason forthefuel line to rupture.

Front dashboard has a crack in it. Crack on plastic dash just appeared overnight for no reason. It is located almost directly in front of the passenger area. Have checked several other vihicles within the same year model,2- GMC sierra pick ups, 1- avalanch, 2 Silverados. Dash makes a ratteling sound and is very distracting. All have the same open crack almost exactly at the same spot on dashboard. I know there is a defect.
