1 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2010

Driving to work at 5 am about 3/4 of mile from home, auto slowed, headlights deemed slightly, rpm's fell. Barely able to coast auto to side of road. Call for roadside assistance. While talking to agent I open door and smelled gasoline. Agent informed me to call fire department to ensure auto safe to move. Fire department arrived and said fuel was still dripping from auto, but they did spread something on fuel and waited until rollback removed auto. Auto was taken to gm dealer for repairs. When notified of repair completion I went to dealership. They told me I must have ran over something that pulled fuel line off, and that it was a 1 in a million event. I did not run over anything so I did not believe this statement. I research and found other have had same problem. I am worried because on the repair ticket it states customer states gas leaking as soon as the key turned was on, checked and found quick connect line pulled apart in front of fuel tank. Reconnected line all checks good at this time. I did not state fuel was leaking as soon as key was turned on. I was driving and almost unable to get auto to roadside. Very dangerous and if the only repair was to reconnect a line that had fallen off, it seems very likely to happen again.

3 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2009

It seems that my vehicles fuel sending unit is defective after only 40,000 miles and through further investigation I found there are many other owners of this line of vehicles that are experiencing this identical problem. I have been told that it will cost over 800. 00 to repair this with no guarantee that it won't happen again. I think this problem should be recalled as most owners of this vehicle are quite upset that they have to pay out of pocket for this defective part to be replaced.
