FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
WE HAVE A 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA. WE HAD A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP RETURN LINE. AT THE TIME THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THE DEALER DID NOT SAY THERE WAS ANYTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS, BUT WE KNEW BETTER. FUEL LINES THAT SPRING LEAKS ARE VERY DANGEROUS, AND NORMALLY INDICATE FAULTY ENGINEERING. WE NOW HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION GOING ON REGARDING THIS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US FOR ANY INFORMATION WE CAN PROVIDE. ALSO, WE ONLY HAD THE RETURN LINE THAT WAS LEAKING REPLACED, WE DID NOT HAVE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL FEED LINE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT LEAKING AT THE TIME. SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS? PLEASE ADVISE, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
I OWN A 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA (VIN [XXX]). DUE TO FUEL LEAKS, ABOUT A MONTH AGO I HAD THE FUEL RAIL REPLACED AT E & D AUTO SERVICE IN DEARBORN MI. TODAY I READ IN THE DETROIT NEWS ABOUT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION OF THIS FAILURE. THE LEAKS WERE IN THE PLASTIC SECTION OF THE RAIL AS DESCRIBED IN THE DETROIT NEWS ARTICLE: HTTP://WWW.DETNEWS.COM/2003/AUTOSINSIDER/0311/03/AUTOS-314583.HTM *LA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
WHILE HAVING MY OIL CHANGED IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT MY FUEL LINE WAS SPRAYING FUEL ALL OVER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. VERY SMALL PIN HOLE BUT A STEADY STREAM OF FUEL. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE INJECTOR LINE WAS SPRAYING FUEL ALSO. I NEVER PAID ATTENTION BEFORE BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GM WOULD USE PLASTIC FOR A FUEL LINE ANYWAY MAYBE THIS IS STANDARD I'M NO MECHANIC BUT AT WHAT GM WANTS FOR THE PARTS AND THEN TO HAVE THEM PUT ON MAYBE I SHOULD BE. OF COURSE GM IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN BUY THE FUEL PARTS TOO IMAGINE THAT! WELL HOPEFULLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND GM WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DEFECTS. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED ROUGHLY CAUSING DAMAGE TO ENGINE MOUNTS AND WELL AS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. CAR NOW SHIFTS ABRUPTLY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WHILE NOT SHIFTING ON SOME OCCASIONS. CAR TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME OF PRESSURE CONTROL SWITCH FAILURE REQUIRING COMPLETE OVERHAUL OR RAPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT. ASIDE FROM THIS MOST RECENT PROBLEM, THE RADIATOR, AIR COMPRESSOR, AIR CONDITIONING HOSES AND BLOWER FAN CONTROL MODULE, ALTERNATOR, IGNITION COIL PACK AND LOWER CRANKCASE GASKET HAVE ALL FAILED WITHIN THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS. CAR CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 115,000 MILES ON IT AND PROBABLY WON'T LIVE TO ACCUMULATE MANY MORE. TOTAL PIECE OF CRAP FROM GM. (OH THAT SICK GM FEELING!). *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
HEAT SHRINK FUEL INJECTION LINE BETWEEN #6-#8 INJECTORS DEVELOPED A HOLE AND SPRAYING FUEL ONTO INTAKE AND IGNITION WIRING. THE CAR SMELLED OF GAS INSIDE AND THE MOTOR WAS HARD TO START AND BACKFIRES SOME. I'VE DONE A TEMPORARY REPAIR AND HAVE NOT BOUGHT ALL NEW RAIL TUBING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT THIS POINT. IT IS TOO COSTLY FOR OWNERS TO REPAIR FOR SUCH A SMALL PROBLEM.
