1 Fuel Delivery problem

Failure Date: 09/06/2000

Due to a spilt crack in the fuel line between fuel injector on the fuel rail, there was a fuel leak which could have caused a fire. Dealer said they needed to replace fuel rail assembly.

2 Fuel Delivery problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2000

Fuel return line: foul smell in car, took to emich olds but failed to correct. Returned due to continued smell, finally diagnosed and repaired leak. Fuel rail/fuel regulator: strong, sickening fumes entered car interior, then car lost power and barely maintained 20mph on way home. After I parked in my driveway, a large quantity of gasoline leaked onto the driveway. I had to call the fire department to assess safety before towing car for repair. After repair was made, strong gasoline fumes remained in engine compartment and continued seeping into car. Emich was finally able to apply a cleaning treatment to remove smell. Crankcase seal: repair was done incorrectly by emich olds, had to be repeated. Note: there were a large number of other mechanical repairs needed on this car, particularly in the last year, too many to report here. Many required more than one trip to emich to diagnose/repair. This car is a lemon!!!this car is a lemon!!!, had to be repeated a second time by emich olds. Driveway at home, a large.
